The solution-based fabrication of reproducible, high-quality lead iodide perovskite films demands a detailed understanding of the crystallization dynamics, which is mainly determined by the perovskite precursor solution and its processing conditions. A systematic in situ study is conducted during the critical phase before the nucleation in solution to elucidate the formation dynamics of lead iodide […]
