Figure 2

(a) Plot of the area of the tracked FA0.85MA0.15PbI2.55Br0.45 perovskite crystal island as a function of time. The tracked island centre is marked with P in b and c. (b) Voronoi cell diagram of perovskite islands at time t0, and the centre of the tracked island is labelled as P. The inset illustrates the topological relationship of Reff+δ<RVor, where Reff is the effective radius of the perovskite island, δ is the solute diffusion length, and RVor is the effective radius of the corresponding Voronoi cell. (c) Voronoi cell diagram of perovskite islands at time t0+9 s, and the centre of the tracked island is labelled as P. The inset depicts the topological relationship of Reff+δ>RVor. (d) Eighteen selected perovskite islands and the corresponding Voronoi cells for tracking the perovskite crystal growth rate as a function of the Voronoi cell area for each crystal island from time Inline graphic to Inline graphic+3 s. (e) Plot of the average growth rate of the eighteen perovskite crystal islands as a function of their Voronoi cell areas. Error bars denote the s.d. of the data collected from time Inline graphic to Inline graphic+3 s.
