Anti‐solvent assisted crystallization (ASAC) is currently one of the most widely used methods to obtain perovskite films with great quality due to its advantage of low cost and easy operation. The commonly used anti‐solvents, toluene, and chlorobenzene (CB), are well recognized to be contaminants in drinking water and exhibit high toxicity levels. It is desirable to develop environmentally benign solvents for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells by ASAC method. As a green solvent, methoxybenzene (PhOMe) has the advantages of low toxicity, moderate saturated vapor pressure, and similar solvent features with toluene and CB. Here, we report highly efficient planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs) prepared by ASAC method using PhOMe green anti‐solvent, achieving a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.42%, which is better than CB processed PSCs (19.09%). Compared to CB processed perovskite films, perovskites produced by PhOMe exhibit smoother surfaces, larger grains, and lower carrier recombination rates, while the crystallization and absorption features remain basically unchanged. These results demonstrate that PhOMe is an excellent anti‐solvent alternative for high‐quality perovskites and thus provide new opportunities for environmental‐friendly manufacturing of PSCs and other optoelectronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
