Fig. 3. Morphology characterizations of large-area perovskite films.
a, b Photo images of the large-area perovskite films fabricated by doctor-blading (a) and spin-coating (b). The film area is 6 × 9 cm2. The volume and concentration of the precursor solution needed to prepare the films are also marked in the images. c Schematics of the large-area film divided to 1 × 1 cm2 pieces. Each pieces are marked as Axy (x, y = 1, 2, 3 …). d, e Thickness mapping of the large-area films fabricated by doctor-blading (d) and spin-coating (e). The thicknesses of each small-area films (56 films in total) are measured separately. The three-dimensional figures are plotted by spatial interpolation. f, g AFM images of the large-area films fabricated by doctor-blading (f) and spin-coating (g). The number of small-area films and roughness are marked in the images. All scale bars are 5 µm.
