Crystal Orientation and Grain Size: Do They Determine Optoelectronic Properties of MAPbI(3) Perovskite?

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Sandy Sanchez Alonso, Michael Saliba

Growing large, oriented grains of perovskite often leads to efficient devices, but it is unclear if properties of the grains are responsible for the efficiency. Domains observed in SEM are commonly misidentified with crystallographic grains, but SEM images ...
