Abstract
Lead halide perovskites are extensively investigated as efficient solution-processable materials for photovoltaic applications. The greatest stability and performance of these compounds are achieved by mixing different ions at all three sites of the APbX3 structure. Despite the extensive use of mixed lead halide perovskites in photovoltaic devices, a detailed and systematic understanding of the mixing-induced effects on the structural and dynamic aspects of these materials is still lacking. The goal of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge on mixing effects on the structural phase transitions, crystal symmetry, cation and lattice dynamics, and phase diagrams of three- and low-dimensional lead halide perovskites. This review analyzes different mixing recipes and ingredients providing a comprehensive picture of mixing effects and their relation to the attractive properties of these materials.

Abstract
Low light absorption and limited carrier lifetime are critical obstacles inhibiting further performance improvement of 2D layered material (2DLM) based photodetectors, while scalable fabrication is an ongoing challenge prior to commercialization from the lab to market. Herein, wafer-scale SnS/ZIS hierarchical nanofilms, where out-of-plane SnS (O-SnS) is modified onto in-plane ZIS (I-ZIS), have been achieved by pulsed-laser deposition. The derived O-SnS/I-ZIS photodetector exhibits markedly boosted sensitivity as compared to a pristine ZIS device. The synergy of multiple functionalities contributes to the dramatic improvement, including the pronounced light-trapping effect of O-SnS by multiple scattering, the high-efficiency spatial separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs by a type-II staggered band alignment and the promoted carrier transport enabled by the tailored electronic structure of ZIS. Of note, the unique architecture of O-SnS/I-ZIS can considerably expedite the carrier dynamics, where O-SnS promotes the electron transfer from SnS to ZIS whilst the I-ZIS enables high-speed electron circulation. In addition, the interlayer transition enables the bridging of the effective optical window to telecommunication wavelengths. Moreover, monolithic integration of arrayed devices with satisfactory device-to-device variability has been encompassed and a proof-of-concept imaging application is demonstrated. On the whole, this study depicts a fascinating functional coupling architecture toward implementing chip-scale integrated optoelectronics.

Abstract
Organometal halide perovskites are highly promising materials for photovoltaic applications due to the rapid growth of power conversion efficiency in recent years. However, thermal stability is still a major hurdle for perovskite solar cells toward commercialization. Herein, we first explore the slow thermal response of the CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite crystal investigated via Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). AES image mapping directly observes the evolution of morphology and elemental distribution over time. The AES small spot analysis demonstrates the precise initial degradation position of perovskite with both information regarding physical changes in crystals and chemical changes in elemental bonding at the nanometer scale. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to confirm the surface chemical bonding and composition of the perovskite crystals. This work provides the first insights into the physical and chemical changes of perovskites investigated by AES upon long-term exposure to heat under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Perovskite solar cells have exhibited astonishing photoelectric conversion efficiency and have shown a promising future owing to the tunable content and outstanding optoelectrical property of hybrid perovskite. However, the devices with planar architecture still suffer from huge Voc loss and severe hysteresis effect. In this research, Guanidine hydrobromide (GABr) post-treatment is carried out to enhance the performance of MAPbI3 n-i-p planar perovskite solar cells. The detailed characterization of perovskite suggests that GABr post-treatment results in a smoother absorber layer, an obvious reduction of trap states and optimized energy level alignment. By utilizing GABr post-treatment, the Voc loss is reduced, and the hysteresis effect is alleviated effectively in MAPbI3 solar cells. As a result, solar cells based on glass substrate with efficiency exceeding 20%, Voc of 1.13 V and significantly mitigated hysteresis are fabricated successfully. Significantly, we also demonstrate the effectiveness of GABr post-treatment in flexible device, whose efficiency is enhanced from 15.77% to 17.57% mainly due to the elimination of Voc loss.
