Abstract

Rendering a high crystalline perovskite film is integral to achieve superior performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we established a two-dimensional liquid cage annealing system, a unique methodology for remarkable enhancement in perovskite crystallinity. During thermal annealing for crystallization, wet-perovskite films were suffocated by perfluorodecalin with distinctively low polarity, nontoxic, and chemically inert characteristics. This annealing strategy facilitated enlargement of perovskite grain and diminution in the number of trap states. The simulation results, annealing time, and temperature experiments supported that the prolonged diffusion length of precursor ions attributed to the increase of perovskite grains. Consequently, without any complicated handling, the performance of perovskite photovoltaics was remarkably improved, and the monolithic grains which directly connected the lower and upper electrode attenuated hysteresis.
