Despite the fast progress of perovskite photovoltaic performances, understanding the crystallization and growth of perovskite films is still lagging. One unanswered fundamental question is whether the perovskite films are grown from top (air side) to bottom (substrate side) or from bottom to top despite 10 years of development. Here, by using grazing incidence x-ray diffraction and morphology characterizations, we unveil that the perovskite films prepared by one-step solution processes, including antisolvent-assisted spin coating and blade coating, follow the downward growth from intermediate phase during thermal annealing. Such a top-to-bottom downward growth is initialized by the evaporation of residual solvent from the top surface of “wet” films and is less sensitive to perovskite compositions and the wettability of underlying substrates. Addressing this fundamental question is important to understand the heterogeneity of perovskite films along the vertical direction, which markedly affects the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.

The perovskite film—manufactured via a one-step method—was superficially improved through an anti-solvent process to increase solar cell efficiency. Although perovskite synthesis proceeds rapidly, a significant amount of lead iodide residue remains. Well-placed lead iodide in perovskite grains prevents electron–hole recombination; however, when irregularly placed, it interferes with the movement of electron and holes. In this study, we focused on improving the crystallinity of the perovskite layer, as well as reducing lead iodide residues by adding a methylammonium halide material to the anti-solvent. Methylammonium iodide in chlorobenzene used as an anti-solvent reduces lead iodide residues and improves the crystallinity of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite. The improved crystallinity of the perovskite layer increased the absorbance and, with reduced lead iodide residues, increased the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell by 1.914%.
