Unveiling facet-dependent degradation and facet engineering for stable perovskite solar cells

Chunqing Ma et al.

Summary: Many studies have been conducted to improve the stability of perovskite films, but the role of different perovskite crystal facets in stability remains unknown. In this study, we investigate the underlying mechanisms of facet-dependent degradation of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) films. We find that the (100) facet is more susceptible to moisture-induced degradation than the (111) facet. Through experimental and theoretical studies, we uncover the degradation mechanisms and observe a d-phase transition on the (100) facet due to strong water adhesion and elongated lead-iodine (Pb-I) bond distance. Manipulating the crystal structure to achieve a higher fraction of the (111) facet leads to exceptional stability of FAPbI3 films against moisture. Our findings provide insights into unknown facet-dependent degradation mechanisms and kinetics.
