Abstract
Phase stability under illumination is important for applications of halide perovskite semiconductors in both solar photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We use hyperspectral photoluminescence microscopy to study compositional heterogeneity and its influence on the photostability of formamidinium (FA)-cesium (Cs) mixed-cation lead halide perovskites. We observe increased lateral photoluminescence heterogeneity of perovskite films made with higher Cs concentrations. We correlate photoluminescence maps with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) depth profiling and show that the redder-photoluminescence regions of the perovskite films are associated with vertical A-site segregation with Cs-rich compositions on top and FA-rich compositions underneath. X-ray diffraction and confocal Raman spectroscopy indicate the presence of nonphotoemissive δ-phase CsPbIxBr3–x in these regions of redder photoluminescence. Under illumination, these Cs-rich cluster regions undergo a faster degradation of their photoluminescence emission. These observations highlight the importance of local A-site compositional heterogeneities on the stability of halide perovskite semiconductors being studied for optoelectronics.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
