Abstract
Perovskite-based solar cells face challenges with stability due to external environment conditions; especially moisture. A new production to counteract this is reported. Poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate) is applied as a thin film to improve hydrophobicity of the CH3NH3PbI3 films; this post deposition treatment is processed using supercritical carbon dioxide accompanied by ethanol. The quality of the Poly(TFEMA) deposition is analyzed using Raman Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy.
