Abstract Two‐step‐fabricated FAPbI 3 ‐based perovskites have attracted increasing attention because of their excellent film quality and reproducibility. However, the underlying formation mechanism remains mysterious. Here, crystallization kinetics a benchmark perovskite with sequential A‐site doping Cs + GA is revealed by in situ X‐ray scattering first‐principles calculations. Incorporating first step induces an alternative pathway from δ‐CsPbI to α‐phase, which energetically more favorable...

Abstract α‐Formamidinium lead triiodide (α‐FAPbI 3 ) represents the state‐of‐the‐art for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) but experiences intrinsic thermally induced tensile strain due to a higher phase‐converting temperature, which is critical instability factor. An in situ crosslinking‐enabled strain‐regulating crystallization (CSRC) method with trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMTA) introduced precisely regulate top section of film where largest lattice distortion occurs. In CSRC,...
