Abstract

Among many riddles posed by halide perovskites, the surprising apparent near-absence of harmful defects stands out. This is commonly explained by invoking defect tolerance (DT), but the term is used loosely, sometimes interchangeably with self-healing (SH). Also, the relation between underlying physical and chemical mechanisms and device behavior is often murky. Here, we offer our views as to what DT and SH constitute, the evidence for and against them, and what research challenges remain.
