Abstract

Perovskite organic-inorganic compounds are of interest for photovoltaic purposes, unfortunately, some of the organic-inorganic elements tend to evaporate rather rapidly rendering the films less effective for photoelectric use. In this study, we examine the evaporation of Perovskite organic-inorganic compounds produced by several manufacturing techniques. In particular we perform XRF and XPS inspections as a function of time and determine the fabrication method that best conserves iodine and lead.
