Figure 3. Unravelling the ageing mechanism in air.

Figure 3

XRD spectrum of a perovskite cell based on AZO as EEL after storage in air for 7 days (inset: magnified view of the (100) PbI2 reflection for a fresh sample and one that has been stored in air for 7 days; spectra were vertically offset for clarity) (a). Photoemission spectra of the iodine I3d5/2 peak for fresh and aged cells based on AZO, SnOx and bilayered AZO/SnOx EELs, respectively (b). The aged samples were stored in air for 2 days. Corresponding plan-view SEM images of the 10 nm Ag layer in case of the AZO sample (c,d), and for the AZO/SnOx sample (e). Schemes of ageing for the AZO and the AZO/SnOx samples (f,g).
