Thermodynamic origin of instability in hybrid halide perovskites
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Degradation of hybrid halide perovskites under the influence of environmental factors impairs future prospects of using these materials as absorbers in solar cells. First principle calculations can be used as a guideline in search of new materials, provided we can rely on their predictive capabilities. We show that the instability of perovskites can be captured using ab initio total energy calculations for reactants and products augmented with additional thermodynamic data to account for finite temperature effects. Calculations suggest that the instability of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 in moist environment is linked to the aqueous solubility of the CH 3 NH 3 I salt, thus making other perovskite materials with soluble decomposition products prone to degradation. Properties of NH 3 OHPbI 3 , NH 3 NH 2 PbI 3 , PH 4 PbI 3 , SbH 4 PbI 3 , CsPbBr 3 , and a new hypothetical SF 3 PbI 3 perovskite are studied in the search for alternative solar cell absorber materials with enhanced chemical stability.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
