Surface site-limited reaction is critical to modifying hybrid halide perovskites without destroying their bulk properties. However, no surface site-limited reaction on hybrid halide perovskites has been demonstrated and confirmed. Herein, we report one surface-site limited reaction on FA lead iodide with tri-methyl aluminum. The strong coordination between organic cations FA+and trimethyl aluminum, a very strong Lewis acid, is found to be the key for this self-limited reaction behavior. Our results provide a model system to understand the effect of surface species on surface reaction behavior on hybrid halide perovskites.
