Abstract

Abstract : A simple air‐retreatment strategy is proposed to improve the performance of the inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This air‐retreatment impact on the physical properties and corresponding performance of the devices is systematically studied. The results show that the grain size of perovskite films is enhanced by this method, and the high quality of MAPbI3 films is successfully prepared. The average grain size of 3.91 μm and the largest grain size exceeding 9 μm are achieved, and the trap states are reduced from 4.05 × 10 16 cm −3 to 1.60 × 10 16 cm −3 . Benefitted by the relatively larger grain size, lower trap density, and higher crystallinity, a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.44% and negligible hysteresis are obtained. This air‐retreatment strategy has great potential in the large‐scale, low‐temperature preparation of efficient and stable PSCs.
