“…The trend is evident in FA = 0, 0.23, 0.43, and 0.63. This can be ascribed to the formation of the Lewis acid‐base adduct of FAI·PbI 2 · DMSO, which in turn is considered weaker than MAI·PbI 2 ·DMSO 42,43 . At FA = 0.83, closed‐packed grains in a dense and full‐coverage perovskite film were observed.…”

“…Perovskite composite layers with high content of formamidinium (above 8o%) have demonstrated proper stability, withstanding 85% humidity for four hours and longer. 43 This is obviously an improvement in stability when compared to the single cation perovskite of FAPbI 3 . Cs + ions and FA can fill in α phase and form a stabilized configuration.…”

Summary The best efficiency ever recorded for state‐of‐the‐art perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is about 25% where the formamidinium (FA)‐dominated perovskites were adopted. But the optimum content of FA perovskite solar cells based on Cs0.05(FAxMA[1−x])0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 films has yet to materialize the high‐power conversion efficiency. Herein, high quality and uniform perovskite films constituting Cs‐MA‐FA (Cesium; Methylammonium) mixed cation in the A‐site of the ABX3 structure with different FA content are synthesized by a typical spin coating based antisolvent technique. Because of the limitations of perovskite and solar cell materials, the influences of various FAs on the device performance are analyzed through device simulation. From the synthesized films, the band gap equation of Cs0.05(FAxMA[1−x])0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 has been estimated, ranging from 2.175 eV to 1.5 eV for various FA/(FA + MA) ratios respectively. Ultimately, the highest conversion efficiency of the planar solar cell based on graded perovskite with various FA content was obtained for the case where the positive Eg grading consists of the Eg of 2.175 eV at the front (FA/[FA + MA] of 0) and the Eg of 1.5 eV at the back (FA/[FA + MA] of 1). The Cs0.05(FA0.87MA0.13)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 cell achieved an AM1.5G conversion efficiency of around 20.98%, showing improved VOC, JSC, and FF among the planar perovskite solar cells with different x.

“…The vacuum and liquid-phase methods are the most often used ones. The most attractive and perspective way is liquid-phase methods because they have a number of advantages in comparison with the vacuum methods, for example: low cost, the possibility of synthesis at room temperature, and the implementation of deposition on large areas [3][4][5]. One of the possible and promising methods of liquid-phase synthesis is molecular precursor solution (MPS).…”

The use of liquid-phase method from DMSO solutions for synthesis of CZTS thin film materials

The possibility of synthesis of CZTS thin films on glass substrates from DMSO precursor solutions containing various quantity of copper ions was investigated. The dependence of composition of final CZTS compounds obtained from precursor solutions with different copper ion concentration in DMSO was shown. It was obtained that with the introduction of a low additive of copper ion concentration one can synthesize CZTS thin films with kesterite structure as well as with secondary phases (tin sulfides of SnS, Sn2S3). The increase of the concentration of copper ions in DMSO precursor solution promotes the formation of CZTS thin films with kesterite phase and the minimum content of impurities.
