Abstract

Perovskite solutions with added potassium iodide (KI) and ethylammonium bromide (EABr) were used to fabricate perovskite solar cells in ordinary air at 190 °C. The addition of EABr and KI induced (100)-oriented perovskite crystals, which resulted in the improvement in short-circuit current densities and conversion efficiencies. The short-circuit current density, open circuit voltage, and conversion efficiency of the best device were 21.0 mA cm−2, 0.942 V, and 12.88%, respectively. First-principles calculations also indicated a decrease in total energy per cell and an increase in energy gaps, which agreed with the improved results of device stabilities and photovoltaic properties.
