High‐Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells Based on the Black Polymorph of HC(NH2)2PbI3

Perovskite solar cells with power conversion efficiencies exceeding 16% at AM 1.5 G one sun illumination are developed using the black polymorph of formamidnium lead iodide, HC(NH2)2 PbI3 . Compared with CH3 NH3 PbI3 , HC(NH2 )2 PbI3 extends its absoprtion to 840 nm and shows no phase transition between 296 and 423 K. Moreover, a solar cell based on HC(NH2 )2 PbI3 exhibits photostability and little I-V hysteresis.
