We use ultrasonic spray-coating to fabricate cesium-containing triple-cation perovskite solar cells with a power-conversion efficiency of up to 17.8%. Our fabrication route involves a brief exposure of the partially wet spray-cast films to a low vacuum, a process that is used to control film crystallization. We show that films that are not vacuum-exposed are relatively rough and inhomogeneous, while vacuum-exposed films are smooth and consist of small and densely packed perovskite crystals. The process techniques developed here represent a step toward a scalable and industrially compatible manufacturing process capable of creating stable and high-performance perovskite solar cells.
