Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are promising semiconductors for optoelectronic applications. In LHP solar cells, the focus thus far has been mainly on compositional optimization of the MHP layer, without much understanding of the effects of compositional mixing on structure and texture. This is a serious gap in our knowledge because research has shown that texture underlies the mechanisms of charge carrier and ionic transport. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mechanisms that drive changes in texture in LHPs. This work examines the effect of moisture and composition on the structure and texture of LHPs and their impacts on optoelectronic properties. Exposure to moisture is shown to induce a crystallographic reorientation in the polycrystalline films, which is also dependent on the amount of organic cation material present at the surface. For films with an excess of organic halide, moisture was shown to induce texture in the (001) plane contributing to the enhancement of photocurrents and long-term device stability. This work shows the importance of texture for the electronic properties of LHPs with a special emphasis on charge carrier extraction in optoelectronic devices.
