abstract = {Perovskite solar cells (PSC) are promising potential
competitors to established photovoltaic technologies due to
their superior efficiency and low-cost solution
processability. However, the limited understanding of the
crystallization behaviour hinders the technological
transition from lab-scale cells to modules. In this work,
advanced phase field (PF) simulations of solution-based film
formation are used for the first time to obtain mechanistic
and morphological information that is experimentally
challenging to access. The well-known transition from a film
with many pinholes, for a low evaporation rate, to a smooth
film, for high evaporation rates, is recovered in simulation
and experiment. The simulation results provide us with an
unprecedented understanding of the crystallization process.
They show that supersaturation and crystallization
confinement effects determine the final morphology. The
ratio of evaporation to crystallization rates turns out to
be the key parameter driving the final morphology.
Increasing this ratio is a robust design rule for obtaining
high-quality films, which we expect to be valid
independently of the material type.},
