- Abstract
The instability of perovskite solar cells under ambient conditions leads many scientific groups to produce their solar cell devices under controllable, yet, expensive conditions. In this work, a mesoscopic solar cell device produced under ambient air/temperature conditions and relatively high humidity is presented. The active material is based on methylamine, phenethylamine, lead(II) iodide and lead(II) chloride. Furthermore, a bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium (Li-TFSI) salt layer was used as a dopant onto mesoscopic TiO2, while the hole-transport material used was the popular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) polymer. All layers were deposited by simple spin coating technique, while the whole process took place under 40–60% relative humidity–ambient conditions. The sequential deposited perovskite layer was built by a 3D mixed halide (CH3NH3)3PbI3Cl2 layer on top of a mixed 3D/Quasi-2D perovskite (CH3NH3)3PbI3Cl2–(C8H9NH3)2(CH3NH3)2Pb3I10 layer. These specific perovskites were used to take advantage of the well-known power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the mixed halide perovskite based on methylamine, and the proven reproducibility and stability of the phenethylamine-based perovskites, especially under non-controllable conditions. The champion mesoscopic device presented a PCE of 13.22%, with short circuit current density (JSC) of 23.67 mA/cm2, open circuit voltage (VOC) of 1034 mV and fill factor (FF) 0.54.
