الوصف: Organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been emerging as one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies. Surface morphology is considered as a key-parameter in energy alignment and plays a dominant role in specifying the device performance. The large grains and low roughness enhance the transport of charge carriers from perovskite layers to the transport layers, and this reflects on the delivered power conversion efficiency (PCE). Therefore, in this study, we investigated the influence of the fabrication parameters on the grain size and the morphology of perovskite layers, thereby the PCE of PSCs. These parameters included the anti-solvent nature (chlorobenzene or toluene), annealing temperature, and annealing ramp rate (slow or flash annealing). The scanning electron microscope confirmed that flash annealing results in a better morphology than slow annealing whether by employing an anti-solvent dripping or not. Furthermore, the dripping of chlorobenzene as an anti-solvent produced better morphology and large grains compared with toluene. Therefore, combining chlorobenzene with flash annealing induced the formation of large grains, full cover, and a uniform perovskite layer, which reflects on the performance of the fabricated PSCs. Finally, employing the aforementioned optimum preparation parameters to fabricate carbon-based PSCs resulted in decent PCE, current density short circuit (Jsc), open circuit voltage (Voc), and fill factor (FF) of 7%, 11.3 mA/cm2, 0.74 V, and 34%, respectively.
