This study successfully developed a new method to create mixed-cation low-dimensional perovskite films, demonstrating high crystal quality and enhanced carrier lifetime characteristics, doubling the power conversion efficiency to 15% in reference devices.
Low-dimensional perovskites (LDP) are nowadays recognized as promising materials for the realization of highly performing photovoltaic cells. However, issues related to film morphology, composition, crystal quality and material homogeneity limit the device performances and reproducibility. In this work, we implement a robust method for the deposition of a LDP mixing methylammonium (MA) and phenylethylammonium (PEA) cations to create the mixed system (PEA)(2)MA(39)Pb(40)I(121) by using a two-step thermal annealing treatment (at 60 and 100 degrees C). Our approach results in LDP films with high crystal quality and enhanced carrier lifetime, which double the power conversion efficiency of reference devices, reaching up to 15 %.
