“…Recently, the integration of more substantial ionic liquid cationssuch as ammonium, pyrrolidinium (Py), piperidinium, imidazolium, and pyridiniuminto organo-halide perovskites has unveiled unique electronic, luminescent, and stability characteristics. − Particularly, pyrrolidine hydroiodide (PyI), with a bulky five-membered heterocycle ring, has been used to produce perovskites with high stability, for single-crystal PyPbI 3 , and for methylammonium- and formamidinium-based perovskites with 1D stabilizing additives. − Unlike smaller organic ions, the Py π electrons can form anion-π and π–π interactions within the large heterocycle, yielding a more rigid structure . Such bonding interactions result in a hydrophobic ring, which provides high temperature and moisture stability without significant distortion of the band gap. , Taking advantage of these effects, Xu et al showed that PyPbI 3 single crystals were stable in water for 4 months .…”
