title: Exploring the Effects of the Pb2+Substitution in MAPbI3on the Photovoltaic Performance of the Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells.
abstract: Here we report a systematic study of the Pb2+substitution in the hybrid iodoplumbate MAPbI3with a series of elements affecting optoelectronic, structural, and morphological properties of the system. It has been shown that even partial replacement of lead with Cd2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, Co2+, In3+, Bi3+, Sn4+, and Ti4+results in a significant deterioration of the photovoltaic characteristics. On the contrary, Hg-containing hybrid MAPb1-xHgxI3salts demonstrated a considerably improved solar cell performance at optimal mercury loading. This result opens up additional dimension in the compositional engineering of the complex lead halides for designing novel photoactive materials with advanced optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties.
