Metal halide perovskites are among the most promising candidates in next-generation photovoltaics owing to the significant progress in terms of their efficiency. (1) Nowadays, the best performing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) use the benefit of lead as the B-site cation in the ABX3 structure of the perovskite. (2) Nonetheless, toxicity and stability are two major drawbacks impeding PSCs’ progress toward commercialization. (3) Among all instability origins, presence of mobile ions within the perovskite has been confirmed to be the primary factor, contributing to device degradation (4,5) as well as healing and metastability. (5−9) Perovskites are soft semiconductors with loose bonds, making them similar to electrolytes with low activation energy for anions and cations, which …
