The most efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are made from a complex mixture of precursors. Typically, to then form thin film, an extreme oversaturation the precursor is initiated trigger nucleation sites, e.g., by vacuum, airstream, or so-called antisolvent. Unfortunately, triggers do not expel lingering (and highly coordinating) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which used as solvent, films; this detrimentally affects long-term stability. In work, (the green) sulfide (DMS)...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) excel in achieving high open-circuit voltages (VOC) for narrow bandgaps (∼1.6 eV) but face challenges with wide-bandgap perovskites, like methylammonium lead trichloride (MAPbCl3) a 3.03 eV bandgap. These materials are transparent visible absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light. However, uniform film crystallization remains hurdle. Here, we enhance MAPbCl3 by manipulating annealing atmospheres (nitrogen, air, and MACl vapor). Excess vapor improves surface coverage,...
