Abstract
Controlling the thickness and homogeneity of thin passivation layers on polycrystalline perovskite thin films is challenging. We report CVD polymerization of poly(<italic>p</italic>-xylylene) layers at controlled substrate temperatures for efficient surface passivation of perovskite films.
