In this work, we employ a multiscale theoretical approach, combining density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD), to investigate the role of TU in the stabilization of the black α-phase and the passivation of surface defects in formamidinium lead iodide. Calculations reveal that TU forms stable complexes with PbI<sub>2</sub> and the [PbI6]<sup>4-</sup> octahedral fragment via Pb–S coordination and establishes stronger hydrogen bonds with FA<sup>+</sup> cations than with MA<sup>+</sup> cations. The adsorption energy of TU on the α-FAPbI<sub>3</sub>(001) surface is higher than on the α-MAPbI<sub>3</sub>(001) surface, indicating stronger binding and more effective defect passivation. The density of states analysis confirms the elimination of mid-gap trap states through passivation of undercoordinated Pb and I atoms. Also, TU reduces the free-energy difference between α- and δ-phases of FAPbI<sub>3</sub> by 5.79 kJ/mol per formula unit, thereby thermodynamically favoring the photoactive α-phase of FAPbI<sub>3</sub>. MD simulations also demonstrate that TU slows down the nucleation and aggregation of PbI<sub>6</sub> and promotes the growth of larger grains. Thus, TU acts both as a phase stabilizer and as an electronic passivator, thus providing prospects for the rational design of additives aimed at enhancing the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Chemistry","volume":"66 12","pages":"2625 - 2640"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145941546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
