Abstract:
Commercial use of lead halide perovskites requires improved ther- mal stability and therefore a better understanding of their degrada- tion mechanisms. The thermal degradation of three clean perovskite single crystal surfaces (MAPbI3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3) was investigated using synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy. Central find- ings are that the halide has a large impact on thermal stability and that the degradation of formamidnium results in the formation of a new organic species at the FAPbBr3 crystal surface.
