Cs0.05FA0.81MA0.14PbBr0.45I2.55

Correct

Cs0.05FA0.81MA0.14PbI2.55Br0.45

X-ions in the wrong order

Cs0.05MA0.14FA0.81PbBr0.45I2.55

A-ions in the wrong order

Cs0.05(FA0.85MA0.15)0.95PbBr0.45I2.55

Unnecessary bracket on the A-side

Cs0.05FA0.81MA0.14Pb(Br0.15I0.85)3

Unnecessary bracket on the X-side

(Cs0.05FA0.95PbBr0.45I2.55)0.85(MAPbBr0.45I2.55)0.15

Unreasonable indication of amalgamation

(CsPbI3)0.05(FAPbI3)0.81(MAPbBr3)0.14

Unreasonable indication of amalgamation

Cs0.05FA0.81MA0.14PbBr0.45ClxI2.55

Inclusion of something that is not in the structure

Combinations of all the above

Leads to a combinatorial number of variations

  1. This represents a small sample of the format variations found in the literature as each example in the table only features one type of error.
