摘要
The mixed-cation lead halide perovskites have emerged as a new class of promising light harvesting materials for solar cells. The formamidinium（FA）, methylammonium（MA） and Cs cations are widely studied in the field of mixed-cation perovskites. Here, we have investigated ethylammonium（EA） as an alternative cation to fabricate a mixed-cation perovskite of MA_（1-x）EA_xPbI_3. We have characterized the materials using the X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscope（SEM）, and UV–vis spectrum. Our results have confirmed the successful incorporation of EA cations into MAPbI_3. Interestingly, the optimal amount of EA to achieve the best performance is quite low. This is different from the FA–MA mixed-cation perovskites although EA and FA have similar radii. In short, the EA–MA mixed-cation perovskite has some material and device properties highly distinguishable from the FA–MA one.
