Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a photoelectric conversion film having a high light absorption ability and a long carrier life. A photoelectric conversion film of the present disclosure includes a perovskite compound including a monovalent formamidinium cation, a Pb cation and an iodide ion. The film thickness of the photoelectric conversion film is greater than or equal to 1 μm. In the photoelectric conversion film, the ratio of root mean square roughness Rq to the film thickness is less than or equal to 0.13.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A photoelectric conversion film comprising: a perovskite compound including a monovalent formamidinium cation, a Pb cation and an iodide ion, the photoelectric conversion film having a film thickness of greater than or equal to 2.05 μm, the ratio of root mean square roughness Rq to the film thickness being less than or equal to 0.13 and greater than or equal to 0.07. 2. The photoelectric conversion film according to claim 1 , wherein the film thickness is less than or equal to 5.2 μm. 3. The photoelectric conversion film according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of root mean square roughness Rq to the film thickness is less than or equal to 0.1. 4. A solar cell comprising: a first electrode; a second electrode; and a photoelectric conversion layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein at least one electrode selected from the group consisting of the first electrode and the second electrode has translucency, and the photoelectric conversion layer is the photoelectric conversion film described in claim 1 . 5. The solar cell according to claim 4 , further comprising an electron transport layer disposed between the first electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer. 6. The solar cell according to claim 4 , further comprising a hole transport layer disposed between the second electrode and the photoelectric conversion layer. 7. A method for producing a photoelectric conversion film, comprising: (A) bringing a first solution including elements for constituting a first precursor perovskite compound into contact with a substrate, and heating the substrate to form a seed layer including the first precursor perovskite compound; and (B) heating the substrate and a second solution, and bringing the surface of the second solution into contact with the surface of the seed layer on the substrate to precipitate a second perovskite compound, thereby producing the photoelectric conversion film of claim 1 .
