Interplay of Kinetic and Thermodynamic Reaction Control Explains Incorporation of Dimethylammonium Iodide into CsPbI₃.

ABSTRACT: CsPbI₃ is a promising material for optoelectronics owing to its thermal robustness and favorable bandgap. However, its fabrication is challenging because its photoactive phase is thermodynamically unstable at room temperature. Adding dimethylammonium (DMA) alleviates this instability and is currently understood to result in the formation of DMA _x Cs_1-x PbI₃ perovskite solid solutions. Here, we use NMR of the ¹³³Cs and ¹³C local structural probes to show that these solid solutions are not thermodynamically stable, and their synthesis under thermodynamic control leads to a segregated mixture of yellow one-dimensional DMAPbI₃ phase and δ-CsPbI₃. We show that mixed-cation DMA _x
