Laser irradiation as a rapid crystallization approach was successfully introduced to prepare homogeneous, dense-grained CH3NH3PbI3 films. Planar-heterojunction solar cells employing these high-quality films showed the optimal efficiency of 17.8% with a remarkably high open-circuit voltage of 1.146 V.

Monocrystalline perovskite materials exhibit superior properties compared with polycrystalline perovskites, including lower defect density, minimal grain boundaries, and enhanced carrier mobility. Nevertheless, the preparation of large-area, high-quality single-crystal films, which could prove invaluable for photoelectronic applications, remains a significant challenge. The study of how their unique properties go beyond polycrystalline thin films is still missing.

Solution-based inorganic-organic halide perovskites are of great interest to researchers because of their unique optoelectronic properties and easy processing. However, polycrystalline perovskite films often show inhomogeneity due to residual strain induced during the film's post-processing phase. In turn, these strains can impact both their stability and performance.

Wide-Range and Multistate Work Functions of Organometallic Halide Perovskite Films Regulated by Ferroelectric Substrates.

Work function of organometallic halide perovskite (OHP) films is one of the most crucial photoelectric properties, which dominates the carrier dynamics in OHP-based devices. Despite surface treatments by additives being widely used to promote crystallization and passivate defects in OHP films, these chemical strategies for modulation of work functions face two trade-offs: homogeneity on the surface versus along the thickness; the range versus the accuracy of modulation. Herein, by using ferroelectric substrates of uniform polarization and subnanometer roughness, homogeneous CHNHPbI films are fabricated with five states of work functions with large spanning (∼0.

Electric Field Effects in Hybrid Perovskites Studied via Picosecond Kerr Microscopy.

We present time-resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) spectra in thin films of CHNHPbI (MAPI) hybrid perovskite using a unique picosecond microscopy technique at 4 K having a spatial resolution of 2 μm and temporal resolution of 1 ps, subjected to both an in-plane applied magnetic field up to 700 mT and an electric field up to 10 V/cm. We demonstrate that the obtained TRKR dynamics and spectra are substantially inhomogeneous across the MAPI films with prominent resonances at the exciton energy and interband transition of this compound. From the obtained quantum beating response as a function of magnetic field in the Voigt configuration, we also extract the inhomogeneity of the electron and hole Lande -values and spin coherence time, *.

The development of ambient-air-processable organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (OIHPSCs) is a challenge necessary for the transfer of laboratory-scale technology to large-scale and low-cost manufacturing of such devices. Different approaches like additives, antisolvents, composition engineering, and different deposition techniques have been employed to improve the morphology of the perovskite films. Additives that can form Lewis acid-base adducts are known to minimize extrinsic impacts that trigger defects in ambient air.
