Abstract

jats:sec<jats:label />jats:pLead‐free Csjats:sub2</jats:sub>AgBiBrjats:sub6</jats:sub> double perovskite is considered a promising alternative photovoltaic absorber to the widely used lead halide perovskite due to its easy processability, high stability, and reduced toxicity. Herein, for the first time spray processing for the deposition of Csjats:sub2</jats:sub>AgBiBrjats:sub6</jats:sub> double perovskite thin films is reported. Microstructural (X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy) and optoelectronic (absorbance, photoluminescence, photocurrent density versus applied voltage curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) properties of spray‐coated film are compared with the spin‐coated benchmark. Incorporation of the spray‐coated Csjats:sub2</jats:sub>AgBiBrjats:sub6</jats:sub> double perovskite thin films in solar cells leads to a 2.3% photoconversion efficiency with high open‐circuit voltage of 1.09 V. This study highlights the suitability of ultrasonic spray deposition for the optimization of Csjats:sub2</jats:sub>AgBiBrjats:sub6</jats:sub> solar cells in terms of light absorption properties and charge transfer at the Csjats:sub2</jats:sub>AgBiBrjats:sub6</jats:sub>/hole transporting layer interface.</jats:p></jats:sec>
