Structurally Reconstructed CsPbI₂Br Perovskite for Highly Stable and Square‐Centimeter All‐Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract

Abstract Although all‐inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) demonstrate high thermal stability, cesium‐lead halide perovskites with high iodine content suffer from poor stability of the black phase (α‐phase). In this study, it is demonstrated that incorporating InCl 3 into the host perovskite lattice helps to inhibit the formation of yellow phase (δ‐phase) perovskite and thereby enhances the long‐term ambient stability. The enhanced stability is achieved by a strategy for the structural reconstruction of CsPbI 2 Br perovskite by means of In 3+ and Cl − codoping, which gives rise to a significant improvement in the overall spatial symmetry with a closely packed atom arrangement due to the crystal structure transformation from orthorhombic (Pnma) to cubic (Pm‐3m). In addition, a novel thermal radiation heating method that further improves the uniformity of the perovskite thin films is presented. This approach enables the construction of all‐inorganic InCl 3 :CsPbI 2 Br PSCs with a champion power conversion efficiency of 13.74% for a small‐area device (0.09 cm 2 ) and 11.4% for a large‐area device (1.00 cm 2 ).
