## Abstract

The phase transitions between the various polymorphs of FAPbI$\_{3}$ (FAPI, FA = formamidinium CH(NH$\_{2}$)$\_{2}^+$) are studied by anelastic, dielectric and X--ray diffraction measurements on samples pressed from $\\delta -$FAPI (2H phase) yellow powder. The samples become orange after application of as little as 0.2~GPa, which has been explained in terms of partial transformations to the other hexagonal polymorphs 4H and 6H. The phenomenon is discussed in the light of what is known about the stability of the various polymorphs of hybrid and inorganic perovskites ABX$\_{3}$ with large A cations and hence large tolerance factor $t$. Remarkably, FAPI at room and higher temperature behaves like a perovskite with large $t$, while just below room temperature it behaves like a perovskite with small $t$. The kinetics of the transformations between the polymorphs is enhanced by small amounts of intercalated water. It seems therefore worthy to try improving the atomic diffusion and crystallization during synthesis, and hence the final photovoltaic performance, through controlled small amounts of water that should be thoroughly removed after a sufficiently homogeneous and smooth microstructure is achieved.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
