Organic–inorganic
hybrid perovskite (OIHP) polycrystalline
films are the key light-absorbing layers of laminated-structure OIHP-based
devices that have attracted increasing attention in photoelectronics
and flexible electronics. Internal stresses induced by the mismatched
responses of laminated layers to long-term and cyclic multiphysical
fields generate time-dependent mechanical deformation in OIHP polycrystalline
films, which makes the mechanical constitution relation of great significance.
However, few studies focus on either the mechanical properties and
behaviors of OIHP polycrystalline films or the underlying mechanism
coupled with the grain structure and ion diffusion. Here, we uncovered
the heterogeneous viscoelasticity of MAPbBr3 films strongly
correlated with the grain structure. Combining experiments and modeling,
we revealed that the organic cation diffusion from grain interiors
to grain boundaries leads to heterogeneity in the chemical distribution
and viscoelastic modulus. Our work provides the nanomechanical understanding
of the OIHP polycrystalline films that are crucial for safety design
and performance optimization in OIHP-based electronics.
