Article Abstract
Mixed iodide-bromide methylammonium lead perovskite (MAPbIBr) nanocrystals (NCs) hold promise for use in light-emitting applications owing to the size- and composition-tunability of their bandgap. However, the segregation of halides during light exposure causes their band gaps to become unstable and narrow. Here, we use transient absorption spectroscopy to track excited-state dynamics during photoinduced halide segregation. The Auger recombination dynamics are observed to accelerate as the bandgap narrows, suggesting enhanced electron-hole overlap. We simulate the motion of iodide within the NC and estimate the evolving bandgap and electron-hole overlap during two possible mechanisms of halide segregation. Our results support a segregation mechanism in which iodide anions form a domain within the NC, rather than a mechanism in which iodide anions independently segregate toward the NC surface. Such mechanistic insight will contribute to future NC bandgap stabilization strategies.

Phase segregation remains one of the most critical challenges limiting the performance and long-term operational stability of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This issue is especially pronounced in 1.84 eV wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites, where severe halide phase segregation leads to compositional heterogeneity and accelerated device degradation.

Mixed-halide perovskites of formula MAPb(BrI), where MA is methylammonium, are of great interest for optoelectronic applications (particularly high-efficiency solar cells) due to their finely tunable bandgap, which enables precise control over light absorption. However, their stability remains a critical challenge, notably due to reversible photoinduced halide segregation. Under continuous illumination, this process leads to the formation of Br- and I-rich domains, which lower device performance by introducing low-bandgap regions that trap charge carriers.

Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit in tandem solar cells (TSCs), but phase segregation under continuous illumination limits their stability. Using in-situ microscopic characterizations, we investigate the dynamics of photon-induced phase segregation. Initial light soaking drives iodide diffusion into a metastable state, but continued redistribution increases the phase separation energy barrier, resulting in a more stable, segregation-resistant state.

Narrowband photodetectors with precise spectral control offer significant potential for applications such as color imaging and machine vision. However, existing demonstrations have encountered challenges due to restricted absorption, the need for additional filters, or the inclusion of thick absorbing layers to facilitate charge collection filtering mechanisms. These constraints have resulted in suboptimal detectivity, inadequate color control, or slow response.

Scalable fabrication of high-efficiency all-perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs) remains challenging due to notable voltage deficits in wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells, primarily driven by severe halide segregation during the large-scale blade coating process. Here, we introduce 4-aminobenzylphosphonic acid as a functional "2H-imprison" additive that selectively bypasses the formation of the 2H phase (an iodine-rich structure) and promotes the direct crystallization of the desired 3C phase, resulting in a homogeneous phase and halide distribution. Consequently, blade-coated 1.
