Higher power conversion efficiencies can be achieved for photovoltaic devices through cation-substitution within the A-site of APbI(3) perovskite, with hydroxyl-ammonium (NH3OH) showing the highest efficiency of 25.84%.
Higher power conversion efficiencies for photovoltaic devices can be achieved through simple and low production cost processing of APbI(3)(A = CH3NH3, CHN2H4, ...) perovskites. Due to their limited long-term stability, however, there is an urgent need to find alternative structural combinations for this family of materials. In this study, we propose to investigate the prospects of cation-substitution within the A-site of the APbI(3) perovskite by selecting nine substituting organic and inorganic cations to enhance the stability of the material. The tolerance and the octahedral factors are calculated and reported as two of the most critical geometrical features, in order to assess which perovskite compounds can be experimentally designed. Our results showed an improvement in the thermal stability of the organic cation substitutions in contrast to the inorganic cations, with an increase in the power conversion efficiency of the Hydroxyl-ammonium (NH3OH) substitute to eta = 25.84%.
