Tuning The Crystal-growth and Coverage of Perovskite Thin-films for Highly Efficient Solar Cells by Using Polyacrylonitrile Additive
the morphology control of the perovskite thin-films is one of the key questions for improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE). To solve this issue
introduction of additive is proved to be an effective and simple way. Herein
polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was used as a solvent additive in the one-step CH

perovskite layers are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis. These experiment results show that the perovskite film properties can be optimized just by combining a small number of PAN

solar cells was increased from 1.31% to 8.13% for the planar cell structure. These results prove that PNA is an effective additive which could improve the quality of perovskite thin-films and potentially be a new candidate as an easily accessible additive during perovskite solar cells mass production.
