13.1 Introduction

Perovskites are materials with the crystal structure ABX3. Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites are those where the A‐cation is an organic molecule, the B‐cation is typically a divalent metal, and the X anion is a halide. Organic A‐cations include methylammonium (MA) and formamidinium (FA). Pb and Sn are commonly used for the B‐site cation, and the halogen (X) is usually iodine, bromine, or a combination of the two (known as mixed‐halide).

Single‐cation perovskites such as MAPbI3, FAPbI3, or CsPbI3, while showing some promising ...
