Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Br(2).

ABSTRACT: Single crystals of the title compound, trilead(II) bis-[tellurate(IV)] dibromide, have been grown under hydro-thermal conditions. The structure is isotypic with that of the chloride analogue, Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Cl(2), and consists of three Pb, two Te, two Br and four O atoms in the asymmetric unit. Except for two of the O atoms, all atoms are located on mirror planes. The Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Br(2) structure can be described as being built up from (?) (2)[Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)](2+) layers extending parallel to (20) and Br(-) anions between the layers. Cohesion of the structure is accomplished through Pb-Br contacts of two of the three lead atoms, leading to highly asymmetric coordination polyhedra. The lone-pair electrons of both Te(IV) and Pb(II) atoms are stereochemically active and point towards the anionic halide layers.

Inter-Conversion between Different Compounds of Ternary Cs-Pb-Br System.

Project description:The perovskite CsPbBr₃ attracts great attention due to its potential in optoelectronics. However, stability remains a major obstacle to achieving its effecting application. In this work, we prepared CsPbBr₃ solids through a simple reaction and investigated reversible conversion between CsPbBr₃, Cs₄PbBr₆, and CsPb₂Br₅. We found that CsPbBr₃ can be respectively converted to Cs₄PbBr₆ or CsPb₂Br₅ by reacting with CsBr or PbBr₂. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrated that the chemical reactions above were exothermic and occurred spontaneously. Moreover, the formed Cs₄PbBr₆ could be converted to CsPbBr₃ reversely, and then progressively converted to Cs-deficient CsPb₂Br₅ by extraction of CsBr with water. The CsPb₂Br₅ was converted to CsPbBr₃ reversely under thermal annealing at 400 °C. The thermodynamic processes of these conversions between the three compounds above were clarified. Our findings regarding the conversions not only provide a new method for controlled synthesis of the ternary Cs-Pb-Br materials but also clarify the underlying mechanism for the instability of perovskites CsPbBr₃.

Structural origins of broadband emission from layered Pb-Br hybrid perovskites.

Project description:Through structural and optical studies of a series of two-dimensional hybrid perovskites, we show that broadband emission upon near-ultraviolet excitation is common to (001) lead-bromide perovskites. Importantly, we find that the relative intensity of the broad emission correlates with increasing out-of-plane distortion of the Pb-(μ-Br)-Pb angle in the inorganic sheets. Temperature- and power-dependent photoluminescence data obtained on a representative (001) perovskite support an intrinsic origin to the broad emission from the bulk material, where photogenerated carriers cause excited-state lattice distortions mediated through electron-lattice coupling. In contrast, most inorganic phosphors contain extrinsic emissive dopants or emissive surface sites. The design rules established here could allow us to systematically optimize white-light emission from layered hybrid perovskites by fine-tuning the bulk crystal structure.

Strong superconducting proximity effect in pb-bi(2)te(3) hybrid structures.

Project description:To study the interface between a conventional superconductor and a topological insulator, we fabricated Pb-Bi(2)Te(3)-Pb lateral and sandwiched junctions, and performed electron transport measurements down to low temperatures. The results show that there is a strong superconducting proximity effect between Bi(2)Te(3) and Pb, as that a supercurrent can be established along the thickness direction of the Bi(2)Te(3) flakes (100~300?nm thick) at a temperature very close to the superconducting T(c) of Pb. Moreover, a Josephson current can be established over several microns in the lateral direction between two Pb electrodes on the Bi(2)Te(3 )surface. We have further demonstrated that superconducting quantum interference devices can be constructed based on the proximity-effect-induced superconductivity. The critical current of the devices exhibits s-wave-like interference and Fraunhofer diffraction patterns. With improved designs, Josephson devices of this type would provide a test-bed for exploring novel phenomena such as Majorana fermions in the future.

Unveiling a Novel, Cation-Rich Compound in a High-Pressure Pb-Te Binary System.

Project description:Because of the common oxidation states of group IV elements (+2 or +4) and group VI elements (-2), 1:1 and 1:2 are two typical stoichiometries found in the IV-VI compounds. Particularly, in the Pb-Te binary system, the 1:1 stoichiometric PbTe is believed to be the only stable compound. Herein, using evolutionary algorithms, density functional theory, a laser-heated diamond anvil cell, and synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments, we discovered a novel Pb-Te compound with an unexpected stoichiometry of 3:2 above 20 GPa. This tetragonal Pb3Te2 is the one of the very few cation-rich compounds that has ever been discovered in the entire IV-VI binary system. Further analyses based on electron density distribution, electron localization function, and Bader charge have shown that this newly discovered compound has a mixed character of chemical bonding with a decreased ionicity. By further calculating the electron-phonon interaction, Pb3Te2 is predicted to exhibit a superconducting transition at low temperatures. The discovery of Pb3Te2 paves the way for further explorations of other novel cation-rich IV-VI group compounds.

Mechanochemistry-driven engineering of 0D/3D heterostructure for designing highly luminescent Cs-Pb-Br perovskites.

Project description:Embedding metal-halide perovskite particles within an insulating host matrix has proven to be an effective strategy for revealing the outstanding luminescence properties of perovskites as an emerging class of light emitters. Particularly, unexpected bright green emission observed in a nominally pure zero-dimensional cesium-lead-bromide perovskite (Cs4PbBr6) has triggered intensive research in better understanding the serendipitous incorporation of emissive guest species within the Cs4PbBr6 host. However, a limited controllability over such heterostructural configurations in conventional solution-based synthesis methods has limited the degree of freedom in designing synthesis routes for accessing different structural and compositional configurations of these host-guest species. In this study, we provide means of enhancing the luminescence properties in the nominal Cs4PbBr6 powder through a guided heterostructural configuration engineering enabled by solid-state mechanochemical synthesis. Realized by an in-depth study on time-dependent evaluation of optical and structural properties during the synthesis of Cs4PbBr6, our target-designed synthesis protocol to promote the endotaxial formation of Cs4PbBr6/CsPbBr3 heterostructures provides key insights for understanding and designing kinetics-guided syntheses of highly luminescent perovskite emitters for light-emitting applications.

Study of the Partial Substitution of Pb by Sn in Cs-Pb-Sn-Br Nanocrystals Owing to Obtaining Stable Nanoparticles with Excellent Optical Properties.

Project description:Halide perovskites are revolutionizing the photovoltaic and optoelectronic fields with outstanding performances obtained in a remarkably short time. However, two major challenges remain: the long-term stability and the Pb content, due to its toxicity. Despite the great effort carried out to substitute the Pb by a less hazardous element, lead-free perovskite still remains more unstable than lead-containing perovskites and presents lower performance as well. In this work, we demonstrate the colloidal preparation of Cs-Pb-Sn-Br nanoparticles (NPs) where Sn is incorporated up to 18.8%. Significantly, we have demonstrated that the partial substitution of Pb by Sn does not produce a deleterious effect in their optical performance in terms of photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). We observed for the first time a positive effect in terms of enhancement of PLQY when Sn partially substitutes Pb in a considerable amount (i.e., higher than 5%). PLQYs as high as 73.4% have been obtained with a partial Pb replacement of 7% by Sn. We present a systematic study of the synthesis process in terms of different growth parameters (i.e., precursor concentration, time, and temperature of reaction) and how they influence the Sn incorporation and the PLQY. This high performance and long-term stability is based on a significant stabilization of Sn2+ in the NPs for several months, as determined by XPS analysis, and opens an interesting way to obtain less Pb-containing perovskite NPs with excellent optoelectronic properties.

Axially lattice-matched wurtzite/rock-salt GaAs/Pb1-xSnxTe nanowires.

Project description:We investigate the full and half-shells of Pb1-xSnxTe topological crystalline insulator deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on the sidewalls of wurtzite GaAs nanowires (NWs). Due to the distinct orientation of the IV-VI shell with respect to the III-V core the lattice mismatch between both materials along the nanowire axis is less than 4%. The Pb1-xSnxTe solid solution is chosen due to the topological crystalline insulator properties above some critical concentrations of Sn (x ≥ 0.36). The IV-VI shells are grown with different compositions spanning from binary SnTe, through Pb1-xSnxTe with decreasing x value down to binary PbTe (x = 0). The samples are analysed by scanning transmission electron microscopy, which reveals the presence of (110) or (100) oriented binary PbTe and (100) Pb1-xSnxTe on the sidewalls of wurtzite GaAs NWs.

Semiconducting Chalcogenide Alloys Based on the (Ge, Sn, Pb) (S, Se, Te) Formula with Outstanding Properties: A First-Principles Calculation Study.

Project description:Very recently, a new class of the multicationic and -anionic entropy-stabilized chalcogenide alloys based on the (Ge, Sn, Pb) (S, Se, Te) formula has been successfully fabricated and characterized experimentally [Zihao Deng et al., Chem. Mater. 32, 6070 (2020)]. Motivated by the recent experiment, herein, we perform density functional theory-based first-principles calculations in order to investigate the structural, mechanical, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties. The calculations of the cohesive energy and elasticity parameters indicate that the alloy is stable. Also, the mechanical study shows that the alloy has a brittle nature. The GeSnPbSSeTe alloy is a semiconductor with a direct band gap of 0.4 eV (0.3 eV using spin-orbit coupling effect). The optical analysis illustrates that the first peak of Im(ε) for the GeSnPbSSeTe alloy along all polarization directions is located in the visible range of the spectrum which renders it a promising material for applications in optical and electronic devices. Interestingly, we find an optically anisotropic character of this system which is highly desirable for the design of polarization-sensitive photodetectors. We have accurately predicted the thermoelectric coefficients and have calculated a large power factor value of 3.7 × 1011 W m-1 K-2 s-1 for p-type. The high p-type power factor is originated from the multiple valleys near the valence band maxima. The anisotropic results of the optical and transport properties are related to the specific tetragonal alloy unit cell.

Te/C nanocomposites for Li-Te Secondary Batteries.

Project description:New battery systems having high energy density are actively being researched in order to satisfy the rapidly developing market for longer-lasting mobile electronics and hybrid electric vehicles. Here, we report a new Li-Te secondary battery system with a redox potential of ~1.7?V (vs. Li(+)/Li) adapted on a Li metal anode and an advanced Te/C nanocomposite cathode. Using a simple concept of transforming TeO2 into nanocrystalline Te by mechanical reduction, we designed an advanced, mechanically reduced Te/C nanocomposite electrode material with high energy density (initial discharge/charge: 1088/740?mA h cm(-3)), excellent cyclability (ca. 705?mA h cm(-3) over 100 cycles), and fast rate capability (ca. 550?mA h cm(-3) at 5C rate). The mechanically reduced Te/C nanocomposite electrodes were found to be suitable for use as either the cathode in Li-Te secondary batteries or a high-potential anode in rechargeable Li-ion batteries. We firmly believe that the mechanically reduced Te/C nanocomposite constitutes a breakthrough for the realization and mass production of excellent energy storage systems.

A pressure-induced topological phase with large Berry curvature in Pb1-x Sn x Te.

Project description:The picture of how a gap closes in a semiconductor has been radically transformed by topological concepts. Instead of the gap closing and immediately reopening, topological arguments predict that, in the absence of inversion symmetry, a metallic phase protected by Weyl nodes persists over a finite interval of the tuning parameter (for example, pressure P). The gap reappears when the Weyl nodes mutually annihilate. We report evidence that Pb1-x Sn x Te exhibits this topological metallic phase. Using pressure to tune the gap, we have tracked the nucleation of a Fermi surface droplet that rapidly grows in volume with P. In the metallic state, we observe a large Berry curvature, which dominates the Hall effect. Moreover, a giant negative magnetoresistance is observed in the insulating side of phase boundaries, in accord with ab initio calculations. The results confirm the existence of a topological metallic phase over a finite pressure interval.
