Abstract

Abstract Two‐step deposition method has been widely exploited to fabricate FA1‐xCsxPbI3 perovskite solar cells. However, in previous studies, CsI is mainly added into the PbI2 precursor with DMF/DMSO as solvent. Here in this study, a novel method to fabricate FA1‐xCsxPbI3 perovskite has been proposed. The CsI is simultaneously added into the PbI2 precursor and the organic FAI/MACl salts solution in our modified two‐step deposition process. The resulting FA1‐xCsxPbI3 film exhibits larger perovskite crystals and suppressed defect density (4.05×1015 cm−3) compared with the reference perovskite film (9.23×1015 cm−3) without CsI. Therefore, the obtained FA1‐xCsxPbI3 perovskite solar cells have demonstrated superior power conversion efficiencies (PCE=21.96 %) together with better long‐term device stability.
