This work report results concerning the effect that the substitution of the methylammonium cation by the formamidinium cation causes on the properties of FAx(MA1-x)PbI3films synthesized by spin coating in one step. For that, it was conducted a study to establish the influence of the composition of the FAx(MA1-x)PbI3films on their optical, structural and morphological properties, determined through spectral transmittance, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements. Correlating parameters of synthesis with results of the study of properties performed, we were able to get conditions to grow FAx(MA1-x)PbI3films with improved optical gap, microstructure and morphology, what allows to think that this compound is suitable to be used as the active layer in hybrid solar cells.
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.
