To avoid mutual dissolution, an MAPbBr3 quantum dot (QD) ink was directly inkjet printed on a spin-coated MAPbI3 film to create stacked perovskite layers (MAPbBr3 QD/MAPbI3). Intense pulse light (IPL) was used to sinter the stacked perovskite films. After the IPL sintering process, the grain size in the stacked layers significantly increased from 16 to 30 nm (MAPbBr3 QD) and from 123 to 538 nm (MAPbI3), respectively. Meanwhile, between the stacked layers, a mixed halide perovskite (MAPbBr3-xIx) film with a gradient was created. The IPL-sintered perovskite films remained stable without phase separation under 15 W/cm2 illimitation for 20 s. The gradient perovskite films were further assembled as an absorber layer in solar cell and exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.06%. Moreover, the solar cell with vertical gradient showed good moisture stability and exhibited 80% PCE under relative humidity (RH) = 70% for 500 h. In summary, this process can create an interfacial gradient layer between light-absorbing materials and can be further applied to other material systems. ? 2021 American Chemical Society.gradient band gapintense pulsed lightperovskite solar cellphase separationwet processEnergy gapFilm preparationPerovskitePhase separationSemiconductor quantum dotsSinteringSolar absorbersThin filmsGradient band gapIntense pulsed lightPerovskite filmsPerovskite thin filmsPower conversion efficienciesPreparation processPulse lightsStacked layerVertical gradientsWet processPerovskite solar cells[SDGs]SDG7journal article10.1021/acsaem.1c029892-s2.0-85121577019
