The addition of a polar-hydrophobic methylammonium trifluoroacetate ionic liquid tailors the hydrophobicity of halide-perovskite precursor solutions and assists in grain growth. This unique additive also functionalizes the grain boundaries via polar-polar interactions, thereby enhancing the optoelectronic properties and chemical stability of perovskites. This study opens the door to the solution hydrophobicity control towards high-performance perovskite devices.
