Abstract
Summary Hybrid perovskites are outstanding candidates for use in optoelectronic devices. Nonetheless, hybrid perovskites present numerous fundamental issues that are not yet fully understood. This study seeks to address this problem by reporting on the occurrence of ultraslow dynamic orientation changes in the methylammonium (MA) cations and the corresponding changes in the inorganic lattice of MAPbI3 perovskite crystals occurring over a time scale of 100 s under continuous illumination based on in situ single-crystal 2H nuclear magnetic resonance and in situ X-ray diffraction results. The demonstrated ultraslow dynamic changes in MAPbI3 are far slower than elementary molecular motions typically having time scales of femtoseconds and picoseconds and have never been reported previously. The ultraslow dynamic changes have been correlated with the reduction of band gap and the increase of absorption coefficient of MAPbI3, providing the molecular origins of the stabilization process in the photoresponse of the MAPbI3 device.
