Which consequence results when excess halide ions enter a lead halide perovskite?

A)Increased trap state formation
B)Enhanced electron-hole recombination
C)Increased material phase purity
D)Improved device operational stability

💡 Explanation

Increased trap state formation is an outcome when excess halide ions introduce defects within the perovskite structure, because the excess halides occupy interstitial sites, therefore creating energy levels within the bandgap, rather than maintaining a stoichiometric ratio which would reduce defects.
