Photoinduced halide segregation, a phenomenon first shown by Hoke et al. [1] (2014) via photoluminescence (PL) peak shifting over time, poses a serious problem for high-bandgap mixed-halide perovskites which are used in high-efficiency multijunction solar cells (e.g. perovskite-silicon, perovskite-Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and perovskite-perovskite tandems) [2]. The main issue is that a proportional increase in bandgap with increasing bromide-to-iodide ratio does not yield the same increase in open-circuit voltage, thus limiting their performance. In this work, we investigate the diffusion controlled mechanisms behind photoinduced halide segregation in long-term stable cesium-formamidinium perovskites, fabricated via a 2-step hybrid deposition technique [3], as well as fully evaporated all-inorganic Cs-based perovskites. Temperature-dependent PL show distinct peak shifts attributed to the parting of iodide and bromide into separate domains, while the diffusion process slows down and eventually stops with a decrease in temperature. Therefore, solid-state diffusion models [4] can be used to fit the temperature-dependent PL of these mixed iodide-bromide compositions providing quantitative insights into the diffusion controlled mechanisms. In addition to peak shifting, for some samples, absolute PL measurements revealed increasing PL quantum yields in excess of 22% over time under constant illumination, after the phases segregate. The influence of this photoinduced halide segregation and diffusion on perovskite solar cell properties will be discussed at the conference.
