Abstract

We demonstrate a multilayer hybrid deposition method for perovskite solar cells, leading to high-quality perovskite films with tunable thickness, larger grains, and improved bulk properties. The process effectively reduces the remnant PbI 2, eliminates the δ-phase, homogenizes the perovskite composition, and enhances light absorption, resulting in a significant boost in overall device efficiency.
