Figure 3. Stability comparison of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3(Cl).

Figure 3

(a,b) Light absorption spectrum for ageing CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3(Cl) under dry air and illumination (25 mW cm−2) respectively. (c) Normalized power conversion efficiency loss for photovoltaic devices employing CH3NH3PbI3 (referred to as MAPI) and CH3NH3PbI3(Cl) (referred to as MAPIC) as the light harvesting materials in an [FTO/planar-TiO2/mesoporous-TiO2/perovskite/spiro-OMeTAD/Au] architecture. J-V curves obtained for these studies are shown in Supplementary Fig. 4. (d) Normalized fluorescence intensity increase of the HE probe at 610 nm (excitation at 520 nm). IF(t) is the fluorescence maximum at time t, while IF(t0) is the background fluorescence intensity. IF(t)/IF(t0) ratio corresponds to the yield of superoxide generation for the perovskite films. (e,f) Surface SEM images of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3(Cl) films deposited on cleaned glass substrates.
