MIXED-HALIDE PEROVSKITES

Shining more light on photoinduced segregation

Nature Materials volume 20, pages 6–7 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Light is known to induce segregation of iodine and bromine in mixed-halide perovskites. Counterintuitively, it is now shown that irradiation at higher intensity reverses this process, leading to halide remixing.
