Description
Research into quantum dots (QDs) of metal halide perovskites has become increasingly popular due to their stability and tunable optoelectronic properties. Their controllable surface chemistry and simple preparation make them a promising alternative to bulk perovskite solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of $\text{Cs}_{x}\text{FA}_{1-x}\text{PbI}_3$ QD solar cells (QDSCs) has been steadily rising, up to a recent record efficiency surpassing 16%. However, the orientation and self-assembly of the colloidal precursor into a superstructure is not yet well-understood. In this work, we study the formation of perovskite QD films using in situ grazing-incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS), to achieve a better understanding of the kinetics involved in their fabrication.
