Abstract:
A method of bandgap tuning of co-evaporated perovskite by a solution process is provided. The method may include providing a co-evaporated perovskite, and treating a surface of the co-evaporated perovskite with a halide-based solution to diffuse the halide-based solution into the co-evaporated perovskite thereby doping it with a halide dopant to form a doped co-evaporated perovskite, wherein the doped co-evaporated perovskite has a characteristic bandgap that is shifted towards a smaller wavelength as compared to the characteristic bandgap of the co-evaporated perovskite before the doping. A doped co-evaporated perovskite having a tuned bandgap, and a solar cell including the doped co-evaporated perovskite is also provided.
