Abstract

We demonstrate the feasibility of a nonsalt-based precursor pair - inorganic HPbI₃ solid and organic CH₃NH₂ gas - for the deposition of uniform CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite thin films. The strong room-temperature solid-gas interaction between HPbI₃ and CH₃NH₂ induces transformative evolution of ultrasmooth, full-coverage perovskite thin films at a rapid rate (in seconds) from nominally processed rough, partial-coverage HPbI₃ thin films. The chemical origin of this behavior is elucidated via in situ experiments. Perovskite solar cells, fabricated using MAPbI₃ thin films thus deposited, deliver power conversion efficiencies up to 18.2%, attesting to the high quality of the perovskite thin films deposited using this transformative process.
