Low toxicity and highly stable methylammonium bismuth iodide (MBI) ((CH3NH3)(3)Bi2I9) as a solution-processable photovoltaic absorber produces hexagonal non-uniform morphology leading to poor interfacial contacts with the electron and hole transporting layers. Herein, we tuned the morphology of MBI perovskite by bringing in a small amount of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a morphology controller into the MBI-DMF solution. The incorporation of various concentrations of NMP into the precursor solution was found to control the rate of crystallization. An optimal low concentration of 2.5% NMP added to the MBI-DMF precursor solution showed a 50% enhancement in short-circuit current (J(sc)). The device showed power conversion efficiencies up to 0.31% with high reproducibility. Moreover, the devices were quite stable when exposed to an ambient atmosphere (relative humidity of 50-60%) for 30 days.
