Abstract

Silver is a low‐cost candidate electrode material for perovskite solar cells. However, in such cells the silver electrodes turn yellow within days of device fabrication. The color change is also accompanied by a dramatic decrease in the power conversion efficiency when compared to otherwise identical devices using gold electrodes. Here, it is shown that the color change results from silver oxidation to silver iodide, due to a reaction with iodine in methyl ammonium lead perovskite. The change in X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray photo­electron spectroscopy is discussed. Exposure to air accelerates corrosion of the Ag electrodes when compared to dry nitrogen gas exposure. However, iodine not reacted with silver is observed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy even for the perovskite solar cell kept in dry nitrogen gas. It is proposed that silver iodide is formed when methyl ammonium iodide migration is facilitated by the small pinholes in the hole transport layer spiro‐MeOTAD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
