The performance difference between devices based on w/o and w/Cs perovskite films has further increased ( Fig. 6d ). When compared to small devices, changes in the physical properties caused by Cs + doping of the perovskite has a more obvious impact on the performance of the modules.
As a result of the much longer diffusion length achieved via Cs + addition, the modules replicate almost all of the photovoltaic parameters of the small devices and in particular the FF. As a result, a PCE of 21.08% was achieved. This is one of the highest PCE ever reported for perovskite modules to the best of our knowledge.
To promote the crystallization of the perovskite, CsFa is introduced as the Cs precursor in the first-step. Since the HCOO·Pb+ and HCOOH·Cs+ complex formation and HCOOH volatilization occurs during the crystallization process, the perovskite nucleation formation rate is retarded and the crystal growth of the perovskite is enhanced.
Cesium halides tend to aggregate with PbBr 2 and PbI 2 rapidly to form an inorganic perovskite core during the first spin-coating process, leading to rapid nucleation of the perovskite.
However, for the w/o based module, all the photovoltaic parameters have shown varying degrees of decline compared with small devices. Therefore, Cs + doping and similar strategies could play an important role in the commercialization of perovskite solar cells in the future. 3. Conclusions
To date, the best perovskite solar cells use mixed organic cations (methylammonium (MA) and formamidinium (FA)) and mixed halides. Unfortunately, MA/FA compositions are sensitive to processing conditions because of their intrinsic structural and thermal instability.

However, upon cooling, the perovskite does not return to its original yellow phase immediately, leading to a thermal hysteresis.

Finally, the γ-phase spontaneously converts to the undesired yellow δ-phase after only a short period of time of storage, and the conversion …
