Abstract

To improve the photovoltaic performance (both efficiency and stability) in hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells, perovskite lattice distortion is investigated with regards to residual stress (and strain) in the polycrystalline thin films. It is revealed that residual stress is concentrated at the surface of the as-prepared film, and an efficient method is further developed to release this interfacial stress by A site cation alloying. This results in lattice reconstruction at the surface of polycrystalline thin films, which in turn results in low elastic modulus. Thus, a "bone-joint" configuration is constructed within the interface between the absorber and the carrier transport layer, which…
