Spin coating, typically used to achieve nanometre thick films, is the established method for depositing perovskite precursors at lab scale for use in solar cells. This study investigates the dynamics of spin coating perovskite. By combining experimental measurement with a semi-empirical model the evaporation rate of the dimethylformamide solvent during the spin coating of a mixed lead halide precursor is determined to be 1.2 x 10(-8) m/s. When K-bar coating the same precursor the solvent does not significantly evaporate during the deposition process and when this film is crystallised on a hot plate a rough film results which gives a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of less than 2%. By increasing the airflow of the K-bar coated perovskite film during crystallisation to 2.7 x 10(-4) m/s the PCE increases significantly to 8.5% through an improvement in shortcircuit current and fill factor.
