2 Estimation of 2θ positions of (00l) reflections for the series of layered hybrid perovskite (PEA) 2 (MA) m-1 (Pb m I 3m+1 ) The previously reported layered perovskite compounds (PEA) 2 (MA) m-1 (Pb m I 3m+1 ) with m = 1, 2, 3 exhibit (00l) reflections, where the position of the peaks shifts to lower angles with increasing m (m = number of [PbI 6 ] octahedra sheets). The interplanar distance for the (002) crystallographic planes in the layered perovskite (LPK) structures is increased by approximately 6.1 Å for each additional octahedra layer, which coincides with the distance of two axial iodine atoms along the c-axis. 1 Following this trend and by employing the Bragg equation, 2d sin θ = n λ with d as the interplanar distance, θ as the diffraction angle, n as the order of diffraction and λ as the wavelength of the X-rays, we estimated the 2θ positions of (00l) peaks for the layered perovskite series (PEA) 2 (MA) m-1 (Pb m I 3m+1 ) with m = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in order to identify the lowangle reflections in the experimental XRD pattern of the treated MAPI film.

The diffraction peaks of PEAMAPI and BAMAPI are marked with asterisks, respectively. Estimation of the crystallite size of the layered perovskite phase The crystallite size of the layered perovskite BAMAPI or PEAMAPI formed on top of a MAPI film can be estimated by analyzing the peak breadth of the corresponding X-ray diffraction peaks according the Scherrer equation: 2 D = K B cos where D is the average crystallite size, K being the Scherrer shape factor, the wavelength of the used X-ray, B the full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) value of the peak in radians and the Bragg angle of the (hkl) reflection. We fit the most intense (00l) reflection of PEAMAPI with a Gaussian function to extract the FWHM of the peak. Since the (002) peak of BAMAPI is a superposition of two phases with the [PbI 6 ] octahedra layer thickness being m = 3 and m = 4, two Gaussians were fitted and a crystal size value for each phase was estimated. The instrument broadening of the peak was taken into account by fitting a Gaussian function to the (001) 3

4 reflection of a highly crystalline methylammonium lead bromide sample. The measured peak broadening was considered as a convolution of two Gaussian functions correlating to the instrument contribution and the layered perovskite sample, respectively. The corrected FWHM B sample can be calculated as following: 3 B sample = B total 2 B instrument 2 where B instrument was found to be A commonly used shape factor of K = 0.9 was employed and the determined crystallite sizes for different concentrations of the casting solution is summarized in Table S2.

5 Details on the calculation of the PEAMAPI layer thickness via GIWAXS analysis: The azimuthal integration was performed around q = 1 Å -1 and around q = 2.2 Å -1 which correspond to the Debye-Scherrer rings arising from the (002)/(110) and (213)/(114)/(310)/(222) lattice plane reflections of the MAPI crystals. For simplicity they are denoted as (002) and (222), respectively (c.f. Figure 2c). In order to quantify the amount of oriented crystals for the (002) peak, the data were fit with a Gaussian function. The 2σ range of the Gaussian was defined as the oriented part as it accounts for 95% of the area underneath the peak. The 2σ range is marked in Figure 2c by dashed lines which divide the graph into three areas. The intensities of these individual areas were integrated and normalized by the total intensity, thus determining the ratio of randomly and preferentially oriented crystallites for the MAPI and the MAPI/PEAMAPI samples, respectively. We find that around 33% of the crystals in the MAPI sample have a (002) orientation (c-axis perpendicular to the substrate), whereas about 40% of the crystallites are oriented in the MAPI/PEAMAPI sample. Integration over the (222) peak showed the typical profile of a Gaussian function, thus justifying the use of this function for amending the inaccessible area around the azimuthal angle χ = 0. The ratios of the integrated intensities agree very well for the (002) and (222) peaks with only slight deviations, which serve as an estimate for the uncertainty of the presented analysis. Assuming that the increase of oriented crystals is due to the formation of highly oriented PEAMAPI (as reasoned in the main text), 7.00±0.47% of the initial MAPI film is estimated to be converted into the LPK. 5
