Abstract

The solidification of hybrid perovskite (MAPbX3, X = I, Br, Cl) inks is studied in situ by A. Amassian and co-workers in article 1604113, revealing a remarkably complex process mediated by strong solvent-solute interactions, the outcome of which is halide-dependent. The ink is shown to solidify within 15–20s of spinning, forming a highly solvated (60–70 vol%) precursor phase. Crystalline order of the precursor, or lack thereof, strongly impacts the morphological outcome of thermal conversion and the reproducibility of solar cells.
