Suppressing Defects-Induced Nonradiative Recombination for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells through Green Antisolvent Engineering

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted considerable attention due to their superior optoelectronic properties. Traditional one-step solution-processed perovskites often suffer from defects-induced nonradiative recombination, which significantly hinders the improvement of device performance. Herein, treatment with green antisolvents for achieving high-quality perovskite films is reported. Compared to defects-filled ones, perovskite films by antisolvent treatment using methylamine bromide (MABr) in ethanol (MABr-Eth) not only enhances the resultant perovskite crystallinity with large grain size, but also passivates the surface defects. In this case, the engineering of MABr-Eth-treated perovskites suppressing defects-induced nonradiative recombination in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is demonstrated. As a result, the fabricated inverted planar heterojunction device of ITO/PTAA/Cs(0.15)FA(0.85)PbI(3)/PC61BM/Phen-NADPO/Ag exhibits the best power conversion efficiency of 21.53%. Furthermore, the corresponding PSCs possess a better storage and light-soaking stability.
