A detailed investigation into the synthesis of green-emitting powders Cs4PbBr6 and CsPbBr3 materials by antisolvent precipitation from CsBr–PbBr2 precursor solutions in dimethylformamide (DMF) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is reported. Various solvated lead bromide polybromide species (PbBr2, [PbBr3]−, [PbBr4]2–, possibly [PbBr5]3– or [PbBr6]4–) are detected optical absorbance emission spectroscopies. The solvodynamic size solution strongly solvent-dependent: ∼1 nm were DMSO, while significantly...
Under mild mechanical pressure, halide perovskites show enhanced optoelectronic properties. However, these improvements are reversible upon decompression, and permanent enhancements have yet to be realized. Here, we report antisolvent-assisted solvent acidolysis crystallization that enables us prepare methylammonium lead bromide single crystals showing intense emission at all four edges under ultraviolet light excitation. We study structural variations (edge-vs-center) in using micro-X-ray...
Abstract In recent years remarkable progress has been made on developing low‐dimensional perovskite‐related materials. particular, with the aim of going toward compounds low toxicity, various metal halide nanocrystals have synthesized and investigated. These nanocrystalline crystallize in a plethora structures dimensionalities, many cases exciting optical properties. Thanks to their photoluminescence emission, which is typically broad largely Stokes‐shifted, such can find applications indoor...
The solvent acidolysis crystallization technique is utilized to grow mixed dimethylammonium/methylammonium lead tribromide (DMA/MAPbBr3 ) crystals reaching the highest dimethylammonium incorporation of 44% while maintaining 3D cubic perovskite phase. These show suppression orthorhombic phase and a lower tetragonal-to-cubic phase-transition temperature compared MAPbBr3 . A distinct behavior observed in temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties DMA/MAPbBr3 due different organic cation...
Abstract All inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbX 3 NCs) have excellent optical properties with high quantum yield, size tunable absorption and emission spectra which makes them popular for a wide variety of applications. the commonly used synthesis techniques, such as hot injection ligand assisted reprecipitation method (LARP), use ‘good’ solvent dimethyl formamide, sulfoxide or octadecene to dissolve precursor salts. The CsPbX NCs formation is triggered either by rapid dissolved salt...

We elucidate here the nature of emissive states in Rb7Sb3Cl16 nanocrystals (NCs) for which we report a synthesis. These NCs have crystal structure comprising both isolated [SbCl6]3– octahedra and [Sb2Cl10]4– dimers octahedra. The optical properties are compared with those Sb-doped Rb3InCl6 NCs, latter containing only remarkably similar behaviors two systems indicate that emission materials originates from Density functional theory calculations suggest optically active because local...
Lead-chloride perovskites are promising candidates for optoelectronic applications, such as visible-blind UV photodetection. It remains unclear how the deep defects in this wide-bandgap material impact carrier recombination dynamics. In work, we study defect properties of MAPbCl3 (MA = CH3NH3) based on photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Our investigations show that apart from intrinsic emission, four sub-bandgap emissions emerge, which very likely to originate radiative excitons bound...
Refined structural studies shine light on the factors favouring ion migration in layered methylammonium copper halide materials and their memory devices.
Tailoring the physical properties of hybrid lead metal halide APbX3 perovskites by means compositional engineering is one key factors contributing to development highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells. While beneficial effects partial ionic replacement at A- X-sites are largely demonstrated, Pb2+ less explored. Here, we developed a solution-based procedure prepare thin films mixed-metal MAPb1-aMnaI3 perovskites. Although Mn2+ ions have size that can potentially fit in B-sites...
Using MeV ion irradiation, a PL enhancement effect of MAPbBr<sub>3</sub> single crystals is demonstrated.
One major concern toward the performance and stability of halide perovskite-based optoelectronic devices is formation metallic lead that promotes nonradiative recombination charge carriers. The origin being disputed whether it occurs during perovskite synthesis or only after light, electron, X-ray beam irradiation thermal annealing. Here, we show quantity detected in crystals depends on concentration composition precursor solution. Through a controlled crystallization process, grew...
A method of growth small single crystals which are nearly perfect spheres is presented. The corrections for absorption effects in crystal diffraction peak measurements most easily made with these crystals. Crystals several dlfferent diameters produced one operation, and intensity data taken from different size give information concerning the relative importance primary secondary extinction effects.
