Hybrid perovskites with reduced organic content have brought great interest for solar cells applications. Particularly, adding inorganic cations increase material stability, by providing an adequate tolerance factor. However, these cations lead to lower absorption coefficient than using only organic cations, therefore it is necessary to implement strategies for having films with appropriate thickness and good light absorption properties. In this work, several experiments were performed with ((Cs1-xDMAx)Pb(Br1-xIx)3 perovskite films of different thicknesses, resulting in devices with photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE) near 80% of the reference MAPbI3 cell, high purity phase, appropriate morphology, and higher stability. The perovskite successfully maintained integrity for 12 days in air with relative humidity between 30 and 40%, indicating the fulfillment of the study's objectives.
