摘要
Abstract: This work presents a novel method for preparing perovskite films using a simple processing technique. Perovskite paste was prepared by dispersing an equimolar mix of PbI2 and methyl ammonium iodide powders into terpineol with stirring. From these precursors, perovskite films were fabricated using doctor blading and drying for 24 h at room temperature. The prepared films were then placed into relative humidity (RH) levels of 30, 50, and 70 % to test the moisture stability. The crystal structure, phases, and morphology were investigated with XRD and SEM/EDX. These samples exhibited good stability against long time exposure to moisture for 70 days. The XRD results showed that samples stored at RH 70 % contained only a small amount of hydrate compound after 70 days storage, while in the sample stored at RH 50 %, the formation of PbI2 was observed. The sample at RH 30 % manifested almost no change when stored for the same storage period. We attribute the enhanced moisture stability, compared with the spin-coated samples, to a passivated surface of the perovskite film by terpineol which exhibits a hydrophobic moiety. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements show that the passivation of surface defect states by the formation of either PbI2 or hydrated compound leads to prolonged charge carrier recombination times.
