Formamidinium (FA) based perovskites are considered as one of the most promising light-absorbing perovskite materials owing to their narrower band gap and better thermal stability compared to conventional methylammonium-based perovskites. Constant improvement by using various additives stimulates the potential application of these perovskites. Amine molecules with different structures have been widely used as typical additives in FA-based perovskite solar cells, and decent performances have been achieved. Thus, a systematic review focusing on structural regulation and functional construction of amines in FA-based perovskites is of significance. Herein, we analyze the construction mechanism of different structural amines on the functional perovskite crystals. The influence of amine molecules on specific perovskite properties including defect conditions, charge transfer, and moisture resistance are evaluated. Finally, we summarize the design rules of amine molecules for the application in high-performance FA-based perovskites and propose directions for the future development of additive molecules.
