Is Excess PbI2 Beneficial for Perovskite Solar Cell Performance?
Abstract
Unreacted lead iodide is commonly believed to be beneficial to the efficiency of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite based solar cells, since it has been proposed to passivate the defects in perovskite grain boundaries. However, it is shown here that the presence of unreacted PbI 2 results in an intrinsic instability of the film under illumination, leading to the film degradation under inert atmosphere and faster degradation upon exposure to illumination and humidity. The perovskite films without lead iodide have improved stability, but lower efficiency due to inferior film morphology (smaller grain size, the presence of pinholes). Optimization of the deposition process resulted in PbI 2‐free perovskite films giving comparable efficiency to those with excess PbI 2 (14.2 ± 1.3% compared to 15.1 ± 0.9%) Thus, optimization of the deposition process for PbI 2‐free films leads to dense, pinhole‐free, large grain size perovskite films which result in cells with high efficiency without detrimental effects on the film photostability caused by excess PbI 2. However, it should be noted that for encapsulated devices illuminated through the substrate (fluorine‐doped tin oxide glass, TiO 2 film), film photostability is not a key factor in the device degradation.

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.
