Abstract

The stability of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI₃) perovskites is generally improved by incorporating cesium (Cs) into the crystal structure. However, the effectiveness of this approach is limited by the intrinsically low solid-solubility of Cs in bulk FAPbI₃. To circumvent this issue, we demonstrate a method that entails solution-deposition of high-Cs-content Cs_1-xFA_xPbI₃ alloy quantum dots (QDs) onto a bulk Cs-lean FAPbI₃-based thin film. This results in a thin film with a Cs-rich QD surface layer, which stabilizes the thin film against the ambient environment. Stable, efficient perovskite solar cells based on these new thin-film structures are demonstrated.
