Electrochemical Deposition Of Cspbbr3 Perovskite For Photovoltaic Devices With Robust Ambient Stability

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.
