MAPb(I1−xBrx)3 is widely used as a window layer in tandem solar cells. Ion migration is one of the most important factors that results in phase separation in MAPb(I1−xBrx)3 and eventually causes a decrease of cell performance. Recent research demonstrates that the doping of Cs+ and the formation of low-dimensional perovskite structures are effective means of inhibiting the migration. To investigate the causes of the migration and its inhibition mechanisms in hybrid halide perovskite materials, large-scale quantum dynamics simulations are conducted on MAPbI3, MAPb(I0.4Br0.6)3 and Cs0.125MA0.875Pb(I0.4Br0.6)3, respectively. By tracking changes in the geometric structures of the perovskite materials before and after doping with Br− and Cs+ in the dynamics processes, the precondition for the ion migration is firstly revealed. The dimension reduction of the perovskite skeleton structures by introducing Cs+ is observed. Furthermore, by combining observations with the variations of the band gap values in all the systems, the inhibition mechanisms of Cs+ doping on ion migration in MAPb(I1−xBrx)3 are revealed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
