Despite the significant progress in fabricating hybrid organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells, their toxicity and low stability remain as major drawbacks, thereby hindering large-scale commercialization. Given the isoelectronic nature of lead­(II) and bismuth­(III) ions, potentially st...
