Further breakthroughs in perovskite solar cells require advances in new compositions and underpinning materials science. Indeed, a deeper understanding of these complex hybrid perovskites requires atomic-scale characterization of their transport, electronic and stability behaviour. This presentation will describe combined atomistic modelling and experimental studies on hybrid perovskites [1-5] in two related areas: (i) pathways and energetics of iodide ion transport and the effect of incorporating different sized A-cations including guanidinium-doped and ‘hollow’ type systems; (ii) structure–electronic property relationships and degradation mechanisms in Pb- and Sn-based iodide perovskites including 2D Ruddlesden-Popper type structures.
