Possible decomposition pathway of hybrid halide perovskites in the presence of water. A water molecule, a, is required to initiate the process with the decomposition being driven by the phase changes of both hydrogen iodide, (b, soluble in water) and the methylammonia (c, volatile and soluble in water). This pathway results in the formation of a yellow solid, which corresponds the experimentally observed PbI2, d.
