Hydrogen Diffusion in Hybrid Perovskites from Exchange NMR.

ABSTRACT: Ion migration is an important phenomenon affecting the performance of hybrid perovskite solar cells. It is particularly challenging, however, to disentangle the contribution of H⁺ diffusion from that of other ions, and the atomic-scale mechanism remains unclear. Here, we use ²H exchange NMR to prove that ²H⁺ ions exchange between MA⁺ cations on the time scale of seconds for both MAPbI₃ and FA_0.7MA_0.3PbI₃ perovskites. We do this by exploiting ¹⁵N-enriched MA⁺ to label the cations by their ¹⁵N spin state. The exchange rates and activation energy are then calculated by performing experiments as functions of mixing time and temperature. By comparing the measured exchange rates to previously measured bulk H⁺ diffusivities, we demonstrate that, after dissociating, H⁺ ions travel through the lattice before associating to another cation rather than hopping between adjacent cations.

How Strong Is the Hydrogen Bond in Hybrid Perovskites?

Project description:Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites represent a special class of metal-organic framework where a molecular cation is encased in an anionic cage. The molecule-cage interaction influences phase stability, phase transformations, and the molecular dynamics. We examine the hydrogen bonding in four AmBX3 formate perovskites: [Am]Zn(HCOO)3, with Am+ = hydrazinium (NH2NH3+), guanidinium (C(NH2)3+), dimethylammonium (CH3)2NH2+, and azetidinium (CH2)3NH2+. We develop a scheme to quantify the strength of hydrogen bonding in these systems from first-principles, which separates the electrostatic interactions between the amine (Am+) and the BX3- cage. The hydrogen-bonding strengths of formate perovskites range from 0.36 to 1.40 eV/cation (8-32 kcalmol-1). Complementary solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirms that strong hydrogen bonding hinders cation mobility. Application of the procedure to hybrid lead halide perovskites (X = Cl, Br, I, Am+ = CH3NH3+, CH(NH2)2+) shows that these compounds have significantly weaker hydrogen-bonding energies of 0.09 to 0.27 eV/cation (2-6 kcalmol-1), correlating with lower order-disorder transition temperatures.

Hydrogen-bond-mediated structural variation of metal guanidinium formate hybrid perovskites under pressure.

Project description:The hybrid perovskites are coordination frameworks with the same topology as the inorganic perovskites, but with properties driven by different chemistry, including host-framework hydrogen bonding. Like the inorganic perovskites, these materials exhibit many different phases, including structures with potentially exploitable functionality. However, their phase transformations under pressure are more complex and less well understood. We have studied the structures of manganese and cobalt guanidinium formate under pressure using single-crystal X-ray and powder neutron diffraction. Under pressure, these materials transform to a rhombohedral phase isostructural to cadmium guanidinium formate. This transformation accommodates the reduced cell volume while preserving the perovskite topology of the framework. Using density-functional theory calculations, we show that this behaviour is a consequence of the hydrogen-bonded network of guanidinium ions, which act as struts protecting the metal formate framework against compression within their plane. Our results demonstrate more generally that identifying suitable host-guest hydrogen-bonding geometries may provide a route to engineering hybrid perovskite phases with desirable crystal structures. This article is part of the theme issue 'Mineralomimesis: natural and synthetic frameworks in science and technology'.

Superior photo-carrier diffusion dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites revealed by spatiotemporal conductivity imaging.

Project description:The outstanding performance of organic-inorganic metal trihalide solar cells benefits from the exceptional photo-physical properties of both electrons and holes in the material. Here, we directly probe the free-carrier dynamics in Cs-doped FAPbI3 thin films by spatiotemporal photoconductivity imaging. Using charge transport layers to selectively quench one type of carriers, we show that the two relaxation times on the order of 1 μs and 10 μs correspond to the lifetimes of electrons and holes in FACsPbI3, respectively. Strikingly, the diffusion mapping indicates that the difference in electron/hole lifetimes is largely compensated by their disparate mobility. Consequently, the long diffusion lengths (3~5 μm) of both carriers are comparable to each other, a feature closely related to the unique charge trapping and de-trapping processes in hybrid trihalide perovskites. Our results unveil the origin of superior diffusion dynamics in this material, crucially important for solar-cell applications.

Extended carrier lifetimes and diffusion in hybrid perovskites revealed by Hall effect and photoconductivity measurements.

Project description:Impressive performance of hybrid perovskite solar cells reported in recent years still awaits a comprehensive understanding of its microscopic origins. In this work, the intrinsic Hall mobility and photocarrier recombination coefficient are directly measured in these materials in steady-state transport studies. The results show that electron-hole recombination and carrier trapping rates in hybrid perovskites are very low. The bimolecular recombination coefficient (10(-11) to 10(-10) cm(3) s(-1)) is found to be on par with that in the best direct-band inorganic semiconductors, even though the intrinsic Hall mobility in hybrid perovskites is considerably lower (up to 60 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)). Measured here, steady-state carrier lifetimes (of up to 3 ms) and diffusion lengths (as long as 650 μm) are significantly longer than those in high-purity crystalline inorganic semiconductors. We suggest that these experimental findings are consistent with the polaronic nature of charge carriers, resulting from an interaction of charges with methylammonium dipoles.

NMR-based detection of hydrogen/deuterium exchange in liposome-embedded membrane proteins.

Project description:Membrane proteins play key roles in biology. Determination of their structure in a membrane environment, however, is highly challenging. To address this challenge, we developed an approach that couples hydrogen/deuterium exchange of membrane proteins to rapid unfolding and detection by solution-state NMR spectroscopy. We show that the method allows analysis of the solvent protection of single residues in liposome-embedded proteins such as the 349-residue Tom40, the major protein translocation pore in the outer mitochondrial membrane, which has resisted structural analysis for many years.

Monitoring Hydrogen Exchange During Protein Folding by Fast Pressure Jump NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:A method is introduced that permits direct observation of the rates at which backbone amide hydrogens become protected from solvent exchange after rapidly dropping the hydrostatic pressure inside the NMR sample cell from denaturing (2.5 kbar) to native (1 bar) conditions. The method is demonstrated for a pressure-sensitized ubiquitin variant that contains two Val to Ala mutations. Increased protection against hydrogen exchange with solvent is monitored as a function of time during the folding process. Results for 53 backbone amides show narrow clustering with protection occurring with a time constant of ca. 85 ms, but slower protection is observed around a reverse turn near the C-terminus of the protein. Remarkably, the native NMR spectrum returns with this slower time constant of ca. 150 ms, indicating that the almost fully folded protein retains molten globule characteristics with severe NMR line broadening until the final hydrogen bonds are formed. Prior to crossing the transition state barrier, hydrogen exchange protection factors are close to unity, but with slightly elevated values in the β1-β2 hairpin, previously shown to be already lowly populated in the urea-denatured state.

Mapping the energy landscape of repeat proteins using NMR-detected hydrogen exchange.

Project description:Repeat proteins contain tandem arrays of a simple structural motif. In contrast to globular proteins, repeat proteins are stabilized only by interactions between residues that are relatively close together in the sequence, with no "long-range" interactions. Our work focuses on the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR), a 34 amino acid helix-turn-helix motif found in tandem arrays in many natural proteins. Earlier, we reported the design and characterization of a series of consensus TPR (CTPR) proteins, which are built as arrays of multiple tandem copies of a 34 amino acid consensus sequence. Here, we present the results of extensive hydrogen exchange (HX) studies of the folding-unfolding behavior of two CTPR proteins (CTPR2 and CTPR3). We used HX to detect and characterize partially folded species that are populated at low frequency in the nominally folded state. We show that for both proteins the equilibrium folding-unfolding transition is non-two-state, but sequential, with the outermost helices showing a significantly higher probability than inner helices of being unfolded. We show that the experimentally observed unfolding behavior is consistent with the predictions of a simple Ising model, in which individual helices are treated as "spin-equivalents". The results that we present have general implications for our understanding of the thermodynamic properties of repeat proteins.

Exploring Lysine Incorporation as a Strategy to Mitigate Postsynthetic Halide Exchange in Lead-Halide Hybrid Perovskites.

Project description:Lead-halide hybrid perovskites (RNH3PbX3, X = halide, e.g., Cl, Br, I; R = organic moiety) show promise for next-generation optoelectronic devices due to their simple synthesis routes, strong light absorption, and high photoluminescence quantum yield. However, postsynthetic halide exchange in lead-halide perovskites poses a challenge for the functionality of many perovskite devices. For example, in all-perovskite heterostructures, halide diffusion results in the formation of undesired mixed alloys rather than sharp interfaces required for many optoelectronic applications. To address this issue, we incorporated lysine molecules, one of the 20 common amino acids, into a hybrid perovskite MAPbBr3 (MA = CH3NH3) host and investigated their impact on the host's ability to undergo postsynthetic halide exchange. We immersed lysine-incorporated MAPbBr3 crystals in solutions containing Cl- or I- for varying durations and analyzed subsequent halide exchange-related changes using ion chromatography, high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Our findings unanimously indicate that incorporated lysine significantly impedes postsynthetic Cl- and I- diffusion into bulk MAPbBr3. Our new bioinspired approach opens a route toward mitigating postsynthetic halide exchange in lead-halide hybrid perovskites and improving the suitability of perovskite devices for optoelectronic applications.

Amide proton solvent protection in amylin fibrils probed by quenched hydrogen exchange NMR.

Project description:Amylin is an endocrine hormone that accumulates in amyloid plaques in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes. The amyloid plaques have been implicated in the destruction of pancreatic β-cells, which synthesize amylin and insulin. To better characterize the secondary structure of amylin in amyloid fibrils we assigned the NMR spectrum of the unfolded state in 95% DMSO and used a quenched hydrogen-deuterium exchange technique to look at amide proton solvent protection in the fibrils. In this technique, partially exchanged fibrils are dissolved in 95% DMSO and information about amide proton occupancy in the fibrils is determined from DMSO-denatured monomers. Hydrogen exchange lifetimes at pH 7.6 and 37°C vary between ∼5 h for the unstructured N-terminus to 600 h for amide protons in the two β-strands that form inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between amylin monomers along the length of the fibril. Based on the protection data we conclude that residues A8-H18 and I26-Y37 comprise the two β-strands in amylin fibrils. There is variation in protection within the β-strands, particularly for strand β1 where only residues F15-H18 are strongly protected. Differences in protection appear to be due to restrictions on backbone dynamics imposed by the packing of two-layers of C2-symmetry-related β-hairpins in the protofilament structure, with strand β1 positioned on the surface and β2 in the interior.

Residual Structure of Unfolded Ubiquitin as Revealed by Hydrogen/Deuterium-Exchange 2D NMR.

Project description:The characterization of residual structures persistent in unfolded proteins in concentrated denaturant solution is currently an important issue in studies of protein folding because the residual structure present, if any, in the unfolded state may form a folding initiation site and guide the subsequent folding reactions. Here, we studied the hydrogen/deuterium (H/D)-exchange behavior of unfolded human ubiquitin in 6 M guanidinium chloride. We employed a dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-quenched H/D-exchange NMR technique with the use of spin desalting columns, which allowed us to perform a quick medium exchange from 6 M guanidinium chloride to a quenching DMSO solution. Based on the backbone resonance assignment of ubiquitin in the DMSO solution, we successfully investigated the H/D-exchange kinetics of 60 identified peptide amide groups in the ubiquitin sequence. Although a majority of these amide groups were not protected, certain amide groups involved in a middle helix (residues 23-34) and an N-terminal β-hairpin (residues 2-16) were significantly protected with a protection factor of 2.1-4.2, indicating that there were residual structures in unfolded ubiquitin and that these amide groups were more than 52% hydrogen bonded in the residual structures. We show that the hydrogen-bonded residual structures in the α-helix and the β-hairpin are formed even in 6 M guanidinium chloride, suggesting that these residual structures may function as a folding initiation site to guide the subsequent folding reactions of ubiquitin.
