The disclosure discloses a perovskite film layer, a device and a preparation method for effectively improving the efficiency of perovskite optoelectronics. The perovskite film layer consists of a layer with discontinuous, irregularly distributed perovskite crystal grains and an organic insulating layer with a low refractive index embedded between the perovskite crystal grains. The perovskite crystal grains form a plurality of convex portions, and the organic insulating layer forms a plurality of concave portions between the convex portions. By adding an excess of an alkylammonium salt and/or an organic molecule with a specific functional group to perovskite precursor solution, a concave-convex film layer structure is spontaneously formed, and an upper charge transport layer and an electrode form pleated concave-convex structures. Such a special perovskite thin film structure formed by a simple solution method can effectively improve the light-outcoupling efficiency and enhance the performance of the perovskite light-emitting device.

Perovskites have high density of vacancies which absorb oxygen molecules and upon illumination, transform them into superoxide species which react with perovskites to decompose them, preventing use of these materials in many photo-applications. The present disclosure provides ways for improving the stability of perovskites in air ambient by doping perovskites with metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and tin which decreases the density of vacancies in perovskites and significantly increases the lifetime of perovskites. Perovskite solar cells containing inorganic and organic ions such as Cs+, formamidinium and methylammonium cations, Pb.sup.2+, Br— and I— with these metal dopants exhibit stable efficiency within a month of storage in air ambient with the relative humidity of 50%.
