Solvent Vapor Anneal of Perovskite Films Fabricated by Electrical Field Direct Ink Deposition Technique

The overall objective is to fabricate the entire perovskite solar cell device using a deposition technique that uses an electrical field to spray coat thin films onto substrates. This experiment will include a solvent vapor anneal to improve the surface qualities of spray-coated MAPbI3 films. Currently, the films are uneven and rough as a result of spray-coating, which results in a low efficiency output from the solar devices. Using solvent vapor anneal could allow us to spray coat perovskite and still have high efficiency readings.
