Figure 1. Crystal growth process and powder X-ray diffraction.

Figure 1

(a) Schematic representation of the ITC apparatus in which the crystallization vial is immersed within a heating bath. The solution is heated from room temperature and kept at an elevated temperature (80 °C for MAPbBr3 and 110 °C for MAPbI3) to initiate the crystallization. (b,c) MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3 crystal growth at different time intervals. (d,e) Powder X-ray diffraction of ground MAPbBr3 and MAPbI3 crystals. Insets: pictures of the corresponding crystals grown within a non-constraining vessel geometry.
