1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Compositional heterogeneity in wide-bandgap (1.8 - 2.1 eV) mixed-halide perovskites is a key bottleneck in the processing of high-quality solution-processed thin films and prevents their application in efficient multijunction solar cells. Notably, mixed-cation (formamidinium-methylammonium) wide-bandgap perovskite films are prone to form micrometer-scale wrinkles which can interfere with the smooth surfaces ideal for multijunction devices. Here, we study the formation dynamics of wrinkled mixed-halide perovskite films and its impact on the local composition and optoelectronic properties. We use in situ X-ray scattering during perovskite film formation to show that crystallization of bromide-rich perovskites precedes that of mixed-halide phases in wrinkled films cast using an antisolvent-based process. Using nanoscopic X--ray fluorescence and hyperspectral photoluminescence imaging, we also demonstrate the formation of iodide- and bromide-rich phases in the wrinkled domains. This intrinsic spatial halide segregation results in an increased local bandgap variation and Urbach energy. Morphological disorder and compositional heterogeneity also aggravate the formation of sub-bandgap electronic defects, reducing photostability and accelerating light-induced segregation of iodide and bromide ions in thin films and solar cells.
