ABSTRACT
As a result of their attractive optoelectronic properties, metal halide APbI3 perovskites employing formamidinium (FA+ ) as the Aâ
cation are the focus of research. The superior chemical and thermal stability of FA+ cations makes α-FAPbI3 more suitable for solar-cell applications than methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3 ). However, its spontaneous conversion into the yellow non-perovskite phase (δ-FAPbI3 ) under ambient conditions poses a serious challenge for practical applications. Herein, we report on the stabilization of the desired α-FAPbI3 perovskite phase by protecting it with a two-dimensional (2D) IBA2 FAPb2 I7 (IBA=iso-butylammonium overlayer, formed via stepwise annealing. The α-FAPbI3 /IBA2 FAPb2 I7 based perovskite solar cell (PSC) reached a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of close to 23 %. In addition, it showed excellent operational stability, retaining around 85 % of its initial efficiency under severe combined heat and light stress, that is, simultaneous exposure with maximum power tracking to full simulated sunlight at 80 °C over 500â
