Abstract
The main downfall of perovskite solar cells is that they degrade rapidly when exposed to heat, light, and moisture. Although previous work has elucidated the decomposition pathways of lead halide perovskites, there has been little direct insight into how perovskite decomposition affects device performance. Therefore, in order to better understand this correlation, we performed in situ grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) measurements on methylammonium lead iodide solar cells. We show that the formation of hydrate phases is not the most important device degradation pathway; rather, as water penetrates the cell, the mobility of iodide ions increases, leading to corrosion of the metallic top contact. Furthermore, the work reveals a temperature dependence to the perovskite decomposition pathway, with higher temperatures suppressing the formation of both intermediates and byproducts. The work suggests that the rigorous exclusion of moisture and the design of corrosion-resistant electrodes may help produce longer-lived perovskite solar cells.

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 it
