Perovskites have recently established themselves in a large number of (opto)electronic devices far beyond solar cells, such as gas sensors, transistors, photodetectors and thermoelectrics. However, the low long-term stability of the vast majority of inorganic and hybrid 3D perovskites still represents the main obstacle preventing their commercialisation. One possible solution is low-dimensional perovskites which have been shown to exhibit higher stability and lower ion migration than their 3D counterparts. Additionally, charge confinement allows ZT to be empowered. Thermal conductivity is reduced by scattering of phonons in the low-dimensional lattice, and the Seebeck coefficient is increased and the thermopower reaches its highest value when energy levels are discrete. To ensure technological applications, low-cost deposition processes, such as spin-coating, must be optimized to obtain a) controlled film morphology (roughness, grain size, grain boundaries, defects), b) pure phases and c) orientation of the layered structures parallel to the substrate. We report on the structural study of thin films of two different 1D pseudo-perovskite materials, namely PRSH)PbX3 (X = Br, I) and (TMSO)PbI/Bi3. Combining complementary techniques, such as GIWAXS, Specular XRD, SEM, EDX and XPS, we could describe the crystalline phases, mosaicity and disorder in film systems and their dependence on the solvent used, the concentration of the precursors and the stoichiometry. Furthermore, the time, ultraviolet radiation and moisture stability of the thin films are reported and correlated with the deposition conditions.
