We study the properties of the series of compounds Cs0.15FA0.85Pb(BrxI1-x)3, aiming to develop an efficient complementary absorber for MAPbI3 in all-perovskite tandems. A bromide content of 0.7 leads to a band gap of 2 eV and a maximum PCE of 11.5% in solar cells, among the highest reported for band gaps wider than 1.8 eV.

We propose a room-temperature scheme of ligand-promoted formation of high-quality perovskite films through the judicious design of nanostructured PbI2[middle dot](L)x intermediates, where L denotes the ligand. The mechanisms and features of the ideal ligand have been investigated through a combined experimental and theoretical study.

Degradation mechanism of planar-perovskite solar cells: correlating evolution of iodine distribution and photocurrent hysteresis

J. Mater. Chem. A, 2017, 5,4527-4534
DOI: 10.1039/C6TA09202K, Paper
Riski Titian Ginting, Mi-Kyoung Jeon, Kwang-Jae Lee, Won-Yong Jin, Tae-Wook Kim, Jae-Wook Kang
The penetration of moisture/O2 into the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) causes shifts of iodine distribution within the perovskite layer and facilitates diffusion of iodine towards the hole transporting layer. Interestingly, these negative effects can be prevented by a simple encapsulation process and further prolong the stability of PSCs.
