Halide oxidation plays a fundamental role in halide segregation and the degradation of halide perovskites, yet quantitative measurement of halide oxidation in solid-state perovskite samples remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate that in situ opto-gravimetric measurements based on a quartz crystal microbalance can quantify the photolysis kinetics of solid-state perovskites. By investigating a series of mixed bromide/iodide perovskites with varying halide ratios, we demonstrate identical compositional thresholds ( ∼ 0.4 in the CsPb(BrI) system) for iodide oxidation, light-induced halide segregation, and photolysis. Our findings reveal the correlation between these light-induced instabilities and unambiguously explain the photolysis mechanism of mixed-halide perovskites. We also show that photolysis renders the perovskite film more -type without involving lead reduction. This study introduces a powerful methodology for quantitatively analyzing the mass loss kinetics of halide perovskites under both practical operational and accelerated aging conditions, offering deeper insights into the mechanisms of perovskite degradation.

2D Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites, upon inclusion of a chiral amine, exhibit chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). Although alloying at the halogen site in MBA-based RPs (MBA: methylbenzylammonium) is one of the suitable routes to tune the CISS effect, the mixed-halide RP perovskites exhibited complete suppression of chirality when probed through circular dichroism (CD). Here, we present the CISS effect in a series of mixed-halide RP perovskites.

The band gap energy of halide perovskite semiconductors is manipulated by controlling the halide composition, and mixed halide perovskites are receiving much attention as top cell materials for tandem solar cells. To understand dynamic aspects of photoinduced halide segregation in mixed-halide perovskite films, we use a hyperspectral imaging technique. We reveal the space- and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CsFAPbIBr perovskite films during prolonged light illumination.

Ion migration in semiconductor devices is facilitated by the presence of point defects and has a major influence on electronic and optical properties. It is important to understand and identify ways to mitigate photoinduced and electrically induced defect-mediated ion migration in semiconductors. In this Perspective, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of defect-mediated ion migration and diffusion as understood through atomistic simulations.

High efficiency and stable wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are crucial for the development of perovskite-based tandem solar cells. However, the efficiency and stability of WBG PSCs are compromised by significant phase segregation and surface defects. In this study, we introduce a cation engineering strategy for WBG perovskite, employing a two-step sequential method that incorporates dimethylamine hydroiodide (DMAI) into the lead halide complex during the initial step.
