The past decade has witnessed the rapid advance in organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Owing to unique optoelectronic properties of perovskites, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has jumped from 3.8% to 25.5%[1–4]. However, under the stimulus of illumination, moisture, oxygen and heat, perovskites exhibit unsatisfactory stability due to weak bonding among the components in these soft-lattice crystals [5–7]. Doping and passivation engineering with alkali metal cations can enhance the intrinsic stability of perovskite materials. Here, the recent progress of alkali metal cations engineering is reviewed, and the impact on the crystallization, lattice structure, photovoltaic performance and stability is discussed.The doping of alkali metal cations has been explored recently [8, 9]. Cs+ and Rb+ can occupy A-site in perovskite lattice (Fig. 1 (a)). The smaller Cs+(1.69 Å) in MA/FA perovskites reduces the tolerance factor, shifting crystal structure towards a cubic form to stabilize photoactive α-FAPbI3 phase. Fig. 1 (b) shows XRD patterns of MA/FA perovskites with different Cs+ content [10]. The sample without Cs+(black curve) showed small peaks at 11.61 and 12.71, corresponding to photo-inactive δ-FAPbI3 and PbI2, respectively. When doping Cs+, these peaks vanished, indicating that Cs+ in perovskites could inhibit the formation of yellow phase. In addition, Cs+ can enhance the thermal and humidity stability of perovskite materials and devices [11− 13]. The effect of Cs+ content on thermal stability is shown in Fig. 1 (c). This work indicated that perovskite degradation was associated with oxygen in air. Cs+ doping (molar ratio x= 0.09) can hinder the interaction between perovskite and oxygen.
