The efficiency of perovskite-based solar cells has increased dramatically over the past decade to as high as 25%, making them very attractive for commercial use. Vapor deposition is a promising technique that potentially enables fabrication of perovskite solar cells on large areas. However, to implement a large-scale deposition method, understanding and controlling the specific growth mechanisms are essential for the reproducible fabrication of high-quality layers. Here, we study the structural and optoelectronic kinetics of MAPbI 3 , employing in-situ photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and grazing-incidence small/wide-angle X-ray scattering (GI-SAXS/WAXS) simultaneously during perovskite vapor deposition. Such a unique combination of techniques reveals MAPbI 3 formation from the early stages and uncovers the morphology, crystallographic structure, and defect density evolution. Furthermore, we show that the nonmonotonous character of PL intensity contrasts with the increasing volume of the perovskite phase during the growth, although bringing valuable information about the presence of defect states.
