Abstract: The degradation process of CH3NH3PbI3 films under 15%, 50% and 90% relative humidity(RH)was analyzed.The degradation product of CH3NH3PbI3film in different humidity environments was found to be PbI2 according to XRD measurement.The intermediate product was also observed in the 90% RH environment, which is similar like(CH3NH3)4PbI6·2H2O.CH3NH3PbI3 film exhibits a faster degradation rates in high RH environment.During CH3NH3PbI3 film degradation process its photo induced carriers quantity also decreases with aging time.In high RH environment carriers lifetime of CH3NH3PbI3 film reduces monotonously with aging time.While in low RH environment carrier lifetime increases at first stage of degradation process, which means that low RH atmosphere can passivate defects in CH3NH3PbI3 thin film.

Key words: CH3NH3PbI3 film, degradation process, relative humidity
