Abstract

We demonstrated that two Lewis bases-urea and thiourea-acted as efficient additives for CH₃NH₃(MA)PbI_3-xCl_x and MAPbI₃ perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and observed a significant increase in PCE for the MAPbI₃ devices in the presence of 1% urea with a remarkable PCE of 18.8% using an extremely low annealing temperature (85 °C).
