Single-crystalline MAPbCl₃ thin-films for photo- and X-ray voltaics.

ABSTRACT: 3 eV wide bandgap methylammonium lead trichloride (MAPbCl₃) perovskites are promising for transparent solar cells, smart windows, and the internet of things (IoTs). However, it is challenging to crystallize uniform polycrystalline MAPbCl₃ thin films from solution. On the other hand, single-crystalline MAPbCl₃ can be grown as relatively uniform thin films. In this work, we demonstrate the fabrication of single-crystalline MAPbCl₃ thin films on conductive glass substrates via a space-confined inverse temperature crystallization (ITC). The perovskite films exhibit no emission peaks from states located deep within the bandgap, confirming a less defective perovskite bulk than its polycrystalline counterpart. The resulting perovskite solar cells
