The power conversion efficiency of halide perovskite solar cells is heavily dependent on the perovskite layer being sufficiently smooth and pinhole-free. It has been shown that these features can be obtained even when starting out from rough and discontinuous perovskite film by briefly exposing the film to methylamine (MA) vapor. The exact underlying physical mechanisms of this phenomenon are, however, still unclear. By investigating smooth, MA treated films based on very rough and discontinuous reference films of methylammonium triiode (MAPbI3) and considering their morphology, crystalline features, local conductive properties, and charge carrier lifetime, we unraveled the relation between their characteristic physical qualities and their performance in corresponding solar cells. We discovered that the extensive improvement in photovoltaic performance upon MA treatment is a consequence of the induced morphological enhancement of the perovskite layer together with improved electron injection into TiO2, which in fact compensates for an otherwise compromised bulk electronic quality simultaneously caused by the MA treatment.
