Guanidinium-Formamidinium Lead Iodide: A Layered Perovskite-Related Compound with Red Luminescence at Room Temperature.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic lead halides perovskite-type compounds have attracted immense scientific interest due to their remarkable optoelectronic properties and tailorable crystal structures. In this work, we present a new layered hybrid lead halide, namely [CH(NH2)2][C(NH2)3]PbI4, wherein puckered lead-iodide layers are separated by two small and stable organic cations: formamidinium, CH(NH2)2+, and guanidinium, C(NH2)3+. This perovskite is thermally stable up to 255 °C, exhibits room-temperature photoluminescence in the red region with a quantum yield of 3.5%, and is photoconductive. This study highlights a vast structural diversity that exists in the compositional space typically used in perovskite photovoltaics.

Temperature Dependent Charge Carrier Dynamics in Formamidinium Lead Iodide Perovskite.

Project description:The fundamental opto-electronic properties of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are strongly affected by their structural parameters. These parameters are particularly critical in formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3), in which its large structural disorder leads to a non-perovskite yellow phase that hinders its photovoltaic performance. A clear understanding of how the structural parameters affect the opto-electronic properties is currently lacking. We have studied the opto-electronic properties of FAPbI3 using microwave conductivity measurements. We find that the mobility of FAPbI3 increases at low temperature following a phonon scattering behavior. Unlike methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3), there are no abrupt changes after the low-temperature β/γ phase transition and the lifetime is remarkably long. This absence of abrupt changes can be understood in terms of the reduced rotational freedom and smaller dipole moment of the formamidinium, as compared to methylammonium.

Volatile organic compound gas sensors based on methylammonium lead iodide perovskite operating at room temperature.

Project description:Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite thin film has been successfully applied to a volatile organic compound (VOC) gas sensor that can operate at room temperature. In this study, ∼100 nm-thick MAPbI3 film shows good reversibility and repeatability as a VOC gas sensor. The resistance of the MAPbI3 film substantially decreases when it is exposed to VOC vapour and recovers back to high resistance when the VOC gas is removed. Adsorption of VOC gas molecules to vacancies in MAPbI3 film might lead to charge trap passivation. The VOC sensor based on perovskite thin film is tested in terms of film thickness, applied bias voltage, and polarity of VOC. We expect that our VOC gas sensor based on solution-processed MAPbI3 operating at room temperature has potential to be developed as a low cost and low power smart gas sensor.

Entropy-driven structural transition and kinetic trapping in formamidinium lead iodide perovskite.

Project description:A challenge of hybrid perovskite solar cells is device instability, which calls for an understanding of the perovskite structural stability and phase transitions. Using neutron diffraction and first-principles calculations on formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3), we show that the entropy contribution to the Gibbs free energy caused by isotropic rotations of the FA+ cation plays a crucial role in the cubic-to-hexagonal structural phase transition. Furthermore, we observe that the cubic-to-hexagonal phase transition exhibits a large thermal hysteresis. Our first-principles calculations confirm the existence of a potential barrier between the cubic and hexagonal structures, which provides an explanation for the observed thermal hysteresis. By exploiting the potential barrier, we demonstrate kinetic trapping of the cubic phase, desirable for solar cells, even at 8.2 K by thermal quenching.

Dismantling the "Red Wall" of Colloidal Perovskites: Highly Luminescent Formamidinium and Formamidinium-Cesium Lead Iodide Nanocrystals.

Project description:Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) of APbX3-type lead halide perovskites [A = Cs+, CH3NH3+ (methylammonium or MA+) or CH(NH2)2+ (formamidinium or FA+); X = Cl-, Br-, I-] have recently emerged as highly versatile photonic sources for applications ranging from simple photoluminescence down-conversion (e.g., for display backlighting) to light-emitting diodes. From the perspective of spectral coverage, a formidable challenge facing the use of these materials is how to obtain stable emissions in the red and infrared spectral regions covered by the iodide-based compositions. So far, red-emissive CsPbI3 NCs have been shown to suffer from a delayed phase transformation into a nonluminescent, wide-band-gap 1D polymorph, and MAPbI3 exhibits very limited chemical durability. In this work, we report a facile colloidal synthesis method for obtaining FAPbI3 and FA-doped CsPbI3 NCs that are uniform in size (10-15 nm) and nearly cubic in shape and exhibit drastically higher robustness than their MA- or Cs-only cousins with similar sizes and morphologies. Detailed structural analysis indicated that the FAPbI3 NCs had a cubic crystal structure, while the FA0.1Cs0.9PbI3 NCs had a 3D orthorhombic structure that was isostructural to the structure of CsPbBr3 NCs. Bright photoluminescence (PL) with high quantum yield (QY > 70%) spanning red (690 nm, FA0.1Cs0.9PbI3 NCs) and near-infrared (near-IR, ca. 780 nm, FAPbI3 NCs) regions was sustained for several months or more in both the colloidal state and in films. The peak PL wavelengths can be fine-tuned by using postsynthetic cation- and anion-exchange reactions. Amplified spontaneous emissions with low thresholds of 28 and 7.5 ?J cm-2 were obtained from the films deposited from FA0.1Cs0.9PbI3 and FAPbI3 NCs, respectively. Furthermore, light-emitting diodes with a high external quantum efficiency of 2.3% were obtained by using FAPbI3 NCs.

High-Performance Photodiode-Type Photodetectors Based on Polycrystalline Formamidinium Lead Iodide Perovskite Thin Films.

Project description:Photodetectors based on three dimensional organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites have recently received significant attention. As a new type of light-harvesting materials, formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) is known to possess excellent optoelectronic properties even exceeding those of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). To date, only a few photoconductor-type photodetectors based on FAPbI3 single crystals and polycrystalline thin films in a lateral structure have been reported. Here, we demonstrate low-voltage, high-overall-performance photodiode-type photodetectors in a sandwiched geometry based on polycrystalline α-FAPbI3 thin films synthesized by a one-step solution processing method and post-annealing treatment. The photodetectors exhibit a broadband response from the near-ultraviolet to the near-infrared (330-800 nm), achieving a high on/off current ratio of 8.6 × 104 and fast response times of 7.2/19.5 μs. The devices yield a photoresponsivity of 0.95 AW-1 and a high specific detectivity of 2.8 × 1012 Jones with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) approaching 182% at -1.0 V under 650 nm illumination. The photodiode-type photodetectors based on polycrystalline α-FAPbI3 thin films with superior performance consequently show great promise for future optoelectronic device applications.

Achieving Order in Disorder: Stabilizing Red Light-Emitting α-Phase Formamidinium Lead Iodide.

Project description:While formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) halide perovskite (HP) exhibits improved thermal stability and a wide band gap, its practical applicability is chained due to its room temperature phase transition from pure black (α-phase) to a non-perovskite yellow (δ-phase) when exposed to humidity. This phase transition is due to the fragile ionic bonding between the cationic and anionic parts of HPs during their formation. Herein, we report the synthesis of water-stable, red-light-emitting α-phase FAPbI3 nanocrystals (NCs) using five different amines to overcome these intrinsic phase instabilities. The structural, morphological, and electronic characterization were obtained using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The photoluminescence (PL) emission and single-particle imaging bear the signature of dual emission in several amines, indicating a self-trapped excited state. Our simple strategy to stabilize the α-phase using various amine interfacial interactions could provide a better understanding and pave the way for a novel approach for the stabilization of perovskites for prolonged durations and their multifunctional applications.

Photoexcitation dynamics in solution-processed formamidinium lead iodide perovskite thin films for solar cell applications.

Project description:Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) is a newly developed hybrid perovskite that potentially can be used in high-efficiency solution-processed solar cells. Here, the temperature-dependent dynamic optical properties of three types of FAPbI3 perovskite films (fabricated using three different precursor systems) are comparatively studied. The time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectra reveal that FAPbI3 films made from the new precursor (a mixture of formamidinium iodide and hydrogen lead triiodide) exhibit the longest lifetime of 439 ns at room temperature, suggesting a lower number of defects and lower non-radiative recombination losses compared with FAPbI3 obtained from the other two precursors. From the temperature-dependent PL spectra, a phase transition in the films is clearly observed. Meanwhile, exciton-binding energies of 8.1 and 18 meV for the high- and low-temperature phases are extracted, respectively. Importantly, the PL spectra for all of the samples show a single peak at room temperature, whereas at liquid-helium temperature the emission features two peaks: one in higher energy displaying a fast decay (0.5 ns) and a second red-shifted peak with a decay of up to several microseconds. These two emissions, separated by ~18 meV, are attributed to free excitons and bound excitons with singlet and triplet characters, respectively.

Localized incorporation of cesium ions to improve formamidinium lead iodide layers in perovskite solar cells.

Project description:For the perovskite solar cells with formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) as a light harvester, cesium ions (Cs+) can be used to stabilize the perovskite crystal structure of FAPbI3. However, the incorporation of Cs+ ions usually reduces the grain size and degrades the crystallization of FAPbI3 layers, and this is harmful to the photovoltaic performance of solar cells. In this work, we incorporate Cs+ ions into FAPbI3 layers using the interfacial doping method, which is different from the mixed solution doping method in previous reports. Elemental analysis indicates that Cs+ dopants cannot be detected at the outer surfaces of perovskite layers, and the majority of Cs+ dopants should be localized in the vicinity of TiO2/perovskite interfaces, which is remarkably different from the distribution of Cs+ dopants in the perovskite layers prepared using the mixed solution doping method. It is found that interfacial doping method can avoid the blue shift of the light absorption edge and can improve the crystallization of FAPbI3 layers. For the optimized conditions, Cs x FA1-x PbI3 solar cells prepared using the interfacial doping method achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.1%, which is better than the PCE of Cs x FA1-x PbI3 devices prepared using the mixed solution doping method.

Structural, electronic, and optical properties of cubic formamidinium lead iodide perovskite: a first-principles investigation.

Project description:Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have been one of the most active areas of research into photovoltaic materials. Despite the extremely fast progress in this field, the electronic properties of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite (FAPbI3) that are key to its photovoltaic performance are relatively poorly understood when compared to those of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). In this study, first-principles total energy calculations based on density functional theory were used to investigate the favored orientation of FA. Different theoretical methods, with or without incorporation of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects, were used to study the structure, electronic properties, and charge-carrier effective mass. Also the SOC-induced Rashba k-dependent band splitting, density of states and optical properties are presented and discussed. These results are useful for understanding organic-inorganic lead trihalide perovskites and can inform the search for new materials and design rules.

Perovskite seeding growth of formamidinium-lead-iodide-based perovskites for efficient and stable solar cells.

Project description:Formamidinium-lead-iodide (FAPbI3)-based perovskites with bandgap below 1.55 eV are of interest for photovoltaics in view of their close-to-ideal bandgap. Record-performance FAPbI3-based solar cells have relied on fabrication via the sequential-deposition method; however, these devices exhibit unstable output under illumination due to the difficulty of incorporating cesium cations (stabilizer) in sequentially deposited films. Here we devise a perovskite seeding method that efficiently incorporates cesium and beneficially modulates perovskite crystallization. First, perovskite seed crystals are embedded in the PbI2 film. The perovskite seeds serve as cesium sources and act as nuclei to facilitate crystallization during the formation of perovskite. Perovskite films with perovskite seeding growth exhibit a lowered trap density, and the resulting planar solar cells achieve stabilized efficiency of 21.5% with a high open-circuit voltage of 1.13 V and a fill factor that exceeds 80%. The Cs-containing FAPbI3-based devices show a striking improvement in operational stability and retain 60% of their initial efficiency after 140 h operation under one sun illumination.
