    In recent years, photoelectric devices based on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, etc.
    ) have achieved rapid development, with low raw material costs, simple processing techniques, and excellent photoelectric properties
    .


    Among them, the crystalline quality of the perovskite film is critical to the effect of device performance


    In response to this problem, the team of Researcher Zhou Huanping from the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Peking University and the team of Professor Chen Qi of the School of Materials Science and Technology of Beijing Institute of Technology and other units have developed a "liquid medium annealing" process, which can be reproducibly prepared with high efficiency and stability under all-weather conditions.

    Different from the usual process of annealing in air or nitrogen, liquid-phase dielectric annealing (as shown in Figure 1) and device preparation have the following advantages:

    1) The liquid phase medium provides a uniform temperature field, thereby achieving uniform heating of the perovskite film in all directions
    .


    When the wet film comes into contact with the liquid medium, it quickly begins to transfer heat in all directions, especially the "top-down" heat transfer makes the film reach the annealing temperature in a short time


    2) The liquid phase medium blocks the contact between the perovskite and the external environment, effectively inhibits the reaction of water, oxygen and other molecules with the perovskite, and also avoids the influence of organic atmosphere on the crystallization process of the perovskite
    .


    In addition, the "barrier" constructed by the liquid medium can inhibit the volatilization of gas phase components, thereby inhibiting the thermal decomposition of perovskite at high temperatures and maintaining the stoichiometric ratio of the components


    3) The liquid phase medium annealing process significantly reduces the environmental dependence of the preparation of perovskite devices
    .


    Under different environmental conditions (humidity and temperature) throughout the year, the efficiency distribution of cells prepared by the liquid-phase medium annealing process is narrow, with an average efficiency of 23%


    Liquid-phase dielectric annealing makes the perovskite film have more uniform photoelectric properties, and the difference in cell efficiency between large area and small area is significantly reduced
    .


    At present, the small area device (0.
