Abstract
On the basis of experiment and theory, a general paradigm is drawn that reconsiders N2 not simply being an inert species but rather an effective healing gas molecule if entering a methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) layer. Nitrogen is soaked into polycrystalline MAPbI3 via a postdeposition mild thermal treatment under slightly overpressure conditions to promote its diffusion across the whole layer. A significant reduction of radiative recombination and a concurrent increase of light absorption, with a maximum benefit at 80 °C, are observed. Concomitantly, the current of holes drawn from the surfaces with nanometer resolution through a biased tip is raised by a factor of 3 under N2. This is framed by a reduction of the barrier for carrier extraction. The achieved improvements are linked to a nitrogen‐assisted recovery of intrinsic lattice disorder at the grain shells along with a simultaneous stabilization of undercoordinated Pb2+ and MA+ cations through weak electrostatic interactions. Defect mitigation under N2 is reinforced in comparison to the benchmark behavior under argon. It is additionally unveiled that surface stabilization through N2 is morphology‐independent and thus can be applied after any preparation procedure. Such simple and low‐cost strategy can complement other stabilizing solutions for perovskite solar cells or light‐emitting diode engineering.
