Abstract
In this paper we report on the influence of light and oxygen on the stability of CH3 NH3 PbI3 perovskite-based photoactive layers. When exposed to both light and dry air the mp-Al2 O3 /CH3 NH3 PbI3 photoactive layers rapidly decompose yielding methylamine, PbI2 , and I2 as products. We show that this degradation is initiated by the reaction of superoxide (O2 (-) ) with the methylammonium moiety of the perovskite absorber. Fluorescent molecular probe studies indicate that the O2 (-) species is generated by the reaction of photoexcited electrons in the perovskite and molecular oxygen. We show that the yield of O2 (-) generation is significantly reduced when the mp-Al2 O3 film is replaced with an mp-TiO2 electron extraction and transport layer. The present findings suggest that replacing the methylammonium component in CH3 NH3 PbI3 to a species without acid protons could improve tolerance to oxygen and enhance stability.
