Organometal halide perovskite based solar cells have emerged as the fastest-advancing photovoltaic technology to date, reaching certified solar cell efficiencies up to 22.1%. Recently, the focus of research broadened beyond high efficiencies to key values like prolonged device lifetime and stability that are required for industrial implementation. A novel perovskite cell architecture utilizing a mesoporous scaffold with embedded perovskite addresses these challenges and is furthermore adaptable for industrial scale production. However, little is known about the perovskite crystal formation in such mesoscopic scaffolds.

In this project, we fabricate a mesoscopic scaffold comprised of a triple-layer of titania, zirconia and carbon by screenprinting. We investigate the influence of the processing additive 5-ammonium valeric acid iodide (5-AVAI) on the perovskite formation and resulting device performance. Additionally, we determine the perovskite backfilling by cross sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and perovskite crystallization dynamics by time-resolved grazing incidence wide angle x-ray scattering (GIWAXS). Our results grant us a better understanding of the perovskite crystallization processes within the mesoscopic scaffold and are of key importance for further developments.
