After the discovery of ferroelectricity in archetypal methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3), the discussion arose, if more advanced derivatives thereof are also ferroelectric and to what extent the polar domains mitigate detrimental charge carrier recombination in perovskite solar cells. Herein, the A‐site cation methylammonium is gradually substituted with formamidinium and cesium. The domain contrast measured by piezoresponse force microscopy is correlated with the distortion of the crystal structure measured by X‐ray diffraction. By Rietveld analysis, a detailed structural model together with texture information is determinded, which reveals an intriguing interplay between lead iodide and the perovskite phases. Finally, the bearing of ferroelectric domains in mixed‐cation perovskites on the solar cell performance is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
