Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.

ABSTRACT: Over the past few years, significant attention has been focused on HC(NH2)2PbI3 (FAPbI3) perovskite due to their reduced band gap and enhanced thermal stability compared with the most studied CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3). However, FAPbI3 is sensitive to moisture and also encounters serious structural phase-transition from photoactive α-phase to photoinactive δ-phase. Herein, we first develop a novel FAI gas-phase assisted mixed-cation compositional modulation method to fabricate CsxFA1-xPbI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and realize the structural stabilization of

α-phase FAPbI3 with the incorporation of smaller inorganic Cs+ ions. Through setting different Cs+ contents (x=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.50) along with moderate FAI vapor deposition process, series of CsxFA1-xPbI3 films with consistent compositions are fabricated, which perfectly resolves the main blocking problems of conventional solution approach, such as difficulty in compositional control and rough film morphology. Meanwhile, we find that Cs+ amount is crucial for generating phase-pure CsxFA1-xPbI3 (0
