We report synthetic steps towards a lead free manganese based perovskite MAPbxMn1–xI1+2xCl2–2x. Fabrication of a cell with an inverted planar architecture at low processing temperatures shows its potential application in future perovskite solar cells.
Photocurrent measurements on devices containing perovskite (CH3NH3)PbI3show two distinct spectral responses when deposited in a mesoporous oxide matrix, compared with one response for planar perovskite alone.
