Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites remain one of the most promising semiconductor materials in photovoltaics, yet their instability under operating conditions obstructs their application.[1] To address this challenge, we rely on supramolecular tools to purposefully tailor noncovalent interactions with organic components that template hybrid perovskite frameworks, such as through π-based interactions and host-guest complexation, which has been uniquely assessed by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and crystallography.[2–4] In addition, we employ these strategies to form low-dimensional perovskite architectures with enhanced functionalities that further alter the stabilities of materials as well as their photovoltaic performances.[2,5] As a result, we have achieved perovskite solar cells with superior operational stabilities without compromising their performances,[2,3] which provides fundamental insights for a versatile strategy in advancing perovskite photovoltaics.
