Improved moisture stability with 2D perovskite at grain boundaries. a Photos of the perovskite films incorporating bare FAPbI3, FAPbI3 with 2D perovskite and FA0.98Cs0.02PbI3 with 2D perovskite exposed to relative humidity (RH) of 80 ± 5% at 20 ± 2 °C for different time. b Evolution of absorption of the films at 600 nm under RH 80 ± 5% at 20 ± 2 °C. The error bar indicates standard deviation of the absorbance measured from three films for each condition. c–e Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images of the FA0.98Cs0.02PbI3 film with 1.67 mol% PEA2PbI4. Inset of c demonstrates the lower magnification image showing the polycrystalline nature with grain boundaries. The highlighted area (1) and (2) were investigated in d and e, respectively. Inset of d and e show Fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of the area within boxes, respectively
