Organic− inorganic hybrid perovskite based solar cells have attracted considerable research attention and emerged as the forerunner in the next generation photovoltaic technology in the past two years. 1− 4 The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells has most recently skyrocketed to a certified 20.1% 5 from 3.8% 6 back in 2009. These organic− inorganic hybrid perovskite compounds adopt ABX3 structure, where the A cations are organic (typically CH3NH3+, C2H5NH3+, HC-(NH2) 2+) and the B cations are metal ions (Pb2+, Sn2+, Cu2+), while the X anions are halides (Cl−, Br−, I−). 7 In a typical perovskite structure, the CH3NH3+ cation resides at the eight corners of the cubic unit, while the Pb2+ cation is located at the body centers of an octahedral [PbX6] 4− cluster. 8 Owing to specific structural properties, such organic− inorganic hybrid perovskites are known to exhibit a plethora of appealing features such as high absorption coefficient, tunable bandgaps, decent ambipolar charge mobility, remarkably low exciton binding energy, substantially long electron and hole diffusion lengths, and long-term charge life. 9− 11 Currently, the most commonly studied organic− inorganic hybrid perovskite are triiodide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 and mixed halide perovskite CH3NH3PbI3− x-Clx and CH3NH3PbI3− xBrx. Along with advantages of costeffective solution-processability, perovskite solar cells, efficiency is now comparable to state-of-the-art copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells or commercialized silicon solar cells, fulfilling the requirements for the large-scale deployment of solar energy, although there are stability and environmental problems for perovskite solar cells to overcome before commercialization. 12At present, one of the main issues encountered in perovskite solar cell fabrication lies in a fine-control of the film morphology such as surface uniformity and surface coverage, which is of paramount importance to achieve high-performance solar cells. 13 Poor perovskite morphology causes electrical shunt or induces traps, which deleteriously impacts charge dissociation and transport while largely increasing the probability of charge recombination. Currently, the most frequently applied deposition methods for the perovskite layer include one-step precursor solution deposition, two-step sequential deposition, dual-source vapor deposition, and vapor assisted solution process. 8, 14 Among these fabrication techniques, one-step deposition of an equimolar mixture of CH3NH3I and PbI2 precursor solution is the simplest way. More importantly, this method is one of the most possible ways for realizing the large-area full-printing manufacturing. However, it often involves the formation of needle-shaped solvation intermediates (CH3NH3PbI3· DMF and CH3NH3PbI3· H2O), which leads to incomplete coverage of the
