Abstract Stability of perovskite-based photovoltaics remains a topic requiring further attention. Cation engineering influences perovskite stability, with the present-day understanding impact cations based on accelerated ageing tests at higher-than-operating temperatures (e.g. 140°C). By coupling high-throughput experimentation machine learning, we discover weak correlation between high/low-temperature stability stability-reversal behavior. At high temperatures, increasing organic cation...
