Strain-induced rubidium incorporation into wide-bandgap perovskites reduces photovoltage loss

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, David Lyndon Emsley, Ursula Röthlisberger, Mounir Driss Mensi, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Lukas Pfeifer, Jing Gao, Virginia Carnevali

A-site cation mixing can enhance the photovoltaic performance of a wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite, but rubidium (Rb) cation mixing generally forms a nonperovskite phase. We report that lattice strain locks Rb ions into the α-phase of the lattice of a triple ...
