ABSTRACT
Understanding the intrinsic phase stability and inherent band gap of formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI3 ) perovskites is crucial to further improve the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we explored the α- to δ-phase transition and band gap of FAPbI3 single crystals grown by an inverse temperature solubility method. We found that the residual γ-butyrolactone solvents in the inner empty space of the FAPbI3 single crystal accelerate the phase transition at kinetics. By adopting 2-methoxyethanol as the solvent, over 2000â
h of stable α-FAPbI3 crystals could be acquired. This proves that although FAPbI3 is regarded as unstable at thermodynamics, it could own excellent kinetic stability without any doping or additives because of the slow solid to solid phase transition instead of the fast phase transition assisted by the solvents. Furthermore, we revealed that the bulk FAPbI3 single crystal with a size above 100â
µm can have an inherent band gap of 1.41â
eV. Thus, our work provides key scientific guidance for high-performance FAPbI3 -based PSCs.
