Alkali
halide perovskites have emerged as representative candidates for novel
opto-electronic devices owing to their balanced efficiency and stability.
However, their fabrication method still remains a challenging topic
with conflicts among their effectiveness, complexity, and cost. Herein,
a complete two-step electrochemical method has been applied in the
fabrication of inorganic perovskites for the first time. The dimension
and microstructure of CsPbBr3 can be easily controlled
by variation of simple physical parameters during the fabrication.
By optimizing the parameters, high-quality CsPbBr3 films
are obtained, and the champion device has achieved an efficiency of
7.86% with a high open-circuit voltage of 1.43 V. More importantly,
the as-fabricated materials have shown an extraordinary robust stability
against environmental conditions even after 150 days of exposure to
air without encapsulation. This has evidently proved the electrochemical
methods as an effective route for perovskite synthesis in its future
development.
The crucial hierarchy of the interfacial passivation at different positions of perovskite solar cells together with the corresponding mechanism has been studied despite the selection of passivation mediums in this work.
