Understanding how excess lead iodide precursor improves halide perovskite solar cell performance

Excess lead iodide in the mixed halide perovskites solar cells leads to high device performance but its origin remains elusive. Here Park et al. unveil the underlying microscopic mechanism to be promoting the oriented growth of the perovskites crystals and reducing the defect concentration.
