contents Metal halide perovskites are of great interest for application in semitransparent solar cells due to their tunable bandgap and high performance. However, fabricating high-efficiency perovskite semitransparent devices with high average visible transmittance (AVT) is challenging because of their high absorption coefficient. Here, we adopt a co-evaporation process to fabricate ultrathin CsPbI3 perovskite films. Due to the smooth surface and orientated crystal growth of the evaporated perovskite films, we are able to achieve 10 nm thin films with compact and continuous morphology without pinholes. When integrated into a p-i-n device structure of glass/ITO/PTAA/perovskite/PCBM/BCP/Al/Ag with an optimized transparent electrode, these ultrathin layers result in an impressive open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.08 V and a fill factor (FF) of 80%. Consequently, a power conversion efficiency of 3.6% with an AVT above 50% is demonstrated, achieved in the 10 nm semitransparent perovskite solar cells, which is the first report for a perovskite device of 10 nm active layer with higher VOC, FF and AVT. These findings demonstrate that evaporation process is a possible way for compact ultrathin perovskite film, which has the potential for future smart windows, light emitting diodes, and tandem device applications.
