Search for resource-efficient materials in vast compositional spaces is an outstanding challenge in creating environmentally stable perovskite semiconductors. We demonstrate a physics-constrained sequential learning framework to subsequently identify the most stable alloyed organic-inorganic perovskites. We fuse data from high-throughput degradation tests and first-principle calculations of phase thermodynamics into an end-to-end Bayesian optimization algorithm using probabilistic constraints. By sampling just 1.8% of the discretized CsxMAyFA1-x-yPbI3 (MA, methylammonium; FA, formamidinium) compositional space, perovskites centered at Cs0.17MA0.03FA0.80PbI3 show minimal optical change under increased temperature, moisture, and illumination with >17-fold stability improvement over MAPbI3. The thin films have 3-fold improved stability compared with state-of-the-art multi-halide Cs0.05(MA0.17FA0.83)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3, translating into enhanced solar cell stability without compromising conversion efficiency. Synchrotron-based X-ray scattering validates the suppression of chemical decomposition and minority phase formation achieved using fewer elements and a maximum of 8% MA. We anticipate that this data fusion approach can be extended to guide materials discovery for a wide range of multinary systems.
