Room-Temperature Processed Annealing-Free Printable Carbon-Based Mesoscopic Perovskite Solar Cells with 17.34% Efficiency

Carbon-based printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (MPSCs) have promising commercial development due to the use of easily scalable printing processes and low-cost carbon material electrodes. Simplifying the preparation process of MPSCs will undoubtedly contribute to their practical application. Here, we demonstrate that efficient and stable MPSCs can be prepared at room temperature without annealing by using low boiling point 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) and strongly coordinated N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a novel mixed solvent under the synergistic effect of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). The results show that the 2-ME/NMP mixed solvent can generate an optimized coordination environment so that uniform nucleation and crystallization of perovskites in mesopores can be achieved at room temperature without annealing by forming uniform small-sized colloids in the precursor solution. Moreover, our work for the first time introduces NH4Cl as a crystallization modulator during a room-temperature annealing-free process, effectively regulating the crystallization behavior of perovskite in mesopores and obtaining high-quality perovskites. Finally, MPSCs prepared synergistically by a room-temperature annealing-free process based on a low boiling point 2-ME/NMP mixed solvent and NH4Cl modulator achieved a champion power conversion efficiency of 17.34% while demonstrating excellent long-term air stability for over half a year. This work provides a new approach to simplifying the preparation process of MPSCs and preparing efficient and stable MPSCs through a room-temperature annealing-free process.
