Substrate-dependent electronic structure and film formation of MAPbI3 perovskites — •Selina Olthof and Klaus Meerholz — University of Cologne, Institute for Physical Chemistry, Luxemburger Straße 116, 50939 Köln, Germany
Hybrid organic / inorganic perovskite materials have attracted significant attention in the past years. However, little is known so far about the electronic structure and, more importantly, the energetic alignment at interfaces. Here, we present the investigation of the interface formation between the perovskite MAPbI3 and various substrate materials. The perovskite films are incrementally evaporated in situ while the electronic structure is evaluated using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). The results show a deviation from the commonly assumed flat band condition, and that dipole formation and band bending dominate the interfaces. More importantly, we find a deviation from the expected perovskite stoichiometry at the interface due to a wide variety of chemical interaction taking place, which are highly dependent on the nature of the substrate material. On metal oxides the perovskite film formation is hindered and it takes up to 30 nm for the density of states of perovskite to emerge in the PES measurements. Therefore, the nature of the substrate not only changes the energetic alignment of the perovskite, but can hinder film formation and introduce gap states as well.
