Halide perovskites with reduced-dimensionality (e.g., quasi-2D, Q-2D) have promising stability while retaining their high performance as compared to their three-dimensional counterpart. Generally, they are obtained in (A 1 ) 2 (A 2 ) n −1 Pb n I 3 n +1 thin films by adjusting A site cations, however, the underlying crystallization kinetics mechanism is less explored. In this manuscript, we employed ternary cations halides perovskite (BA) 2 (MA,FA) 3 Pb 4 I 13 Q-2D perovskites as an archetypal model, to understand the principles that link the crystal orientation to the carrier behavior in the polycrystalline film. We reveal that appropriate FA + incorporation can effectively control the perovskite crystallization kinetics, which reduces nonradiative recombination centers to acquire high-quality films with a limited nonorientated phase. We further developed an in situ photoluminescence technique to observe that the Q-2D phase ( n = 2, 3, 4) was formed first followed by the generation of n = ∞ perovskite in Q-2D perovskites. These findings substantially benefit the understanding of doping behavior in Q-2D perovskites crystal growth, and ultimately lead to the highest efficiency of 12.81% in (BA) 2 (MA,FA) 3 Pb 4 I 13 Q-2D perovskites based photovoltaic devices.
