Abstract

We investigate characteristic field emission properties of methyl ammonium mixed-halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3-xClx) and their current change under one laser pulse. To analyze these properties, we fabricated inverted-type mixed-halide perovskite solar cells which exhibit a device efficiency of 9.31% under A.M 1.5 condition. Under one laser pulse varying from 420 nm to 580 nm, perovskite layer considerably reacted from 420 nm to 440 nm and then gradually decreased in current. A turnon field of 5.56 V and a field enhancement factor of 3183 were obtained from one spin-coating perovskite layer and in eight times of perovskite spin-coating cycles, a turn-on field of 6.70 V and a field enhancement factor of 5110 were observed.
