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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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

Project description: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.

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-(?-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.

Novel Stable Compounds in the C-H-O Ternary System at High Pressure.

Project description:The chemistry of the elements is heavily altered by high pressure, with stabilization of many new and often unexpected compounds, the emergence of which can profoundly change models of planetary interiors, where high pressure reigns. The C-H-O system is one of the most important planet-forming systems, but its high-pressure chemistry is not well known. Here, using state-of-the-art variable-composition evolutionary searches combined with quantum-mechanical calculations, we explore the C-H-O system at pressures up to 400 GPa. Besides uncovering new stable polymorphs of high-pressure elements and known molecules, we predicted the formation of new compounds. A 2CH4:3H2 inclusion compound forms at low pressure and remains stable up to 215 GPa. Carbonic acid (H2CO3), highly unstable at ambient conditions, was predicted to form exothermically at mild pressure (about 1 GPa). As pressure rises, it polymerizes and, above 314 GPa, reacts with water to form orthocarbonic acid (H4CO4). This unexpected high-pressure chemistry is rationalized by analyzing charge density and electron localization function distributions, and implications for general chemistry and planetary science are also discussed.

Thermal Decomposition of Ternary Sodium Graphite Intercalation Compounds.

Project description:Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are often used to produce exfoliated or functionalised graphene related materials (GRMs) in a specific solvent. This study explores the formation of the Na-tetrahydrofuran (THF)-GIC and a new ternary system based on dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Detailed comparisons of in situ temperature dependent XRD with TGA-MS and Raman measurements reveal a series of dynamic transformations during heating. Surprisingly, the bulk of the intercalation compound is stable under ambient conditions, trapped between the graphene sheets. The heating process drives a reorganisation of the solvent and Na molecules, then an evaporation of the solvent; however, the solvent loss is arrested by restacking of the graphene layers, leading to trapped solvent bubbles. Eventually, the bubbles rupture, releasing the remaining solvent and creating expanded graphite. These trapped dopants may provide useful property enhancements, but also potentially confound measurements of grafting efficiency in liquid-phase covalent functionalization experiments on 2D materials.

Spontaneous inter-conversion of insulin fibril chirality.

Project description:Amyloid fibrils are associated with many neurodegenerative diseases and are considered to be the energetically most favorable form of proteins. Here we report that a small pH change initiates spontaneous transformation of insulin fibrils from one polymorph to another. As a result, fibril supramolecular chirality overturns both accompanying morphological and structural changes.

Notch signalling regulates asymmetric division and inter-conversion between lgr5 and bmi1 expressing intestinal stem cells.

Project description:Rapidly cycling LGR5+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of crypts are the primary driver of regeneration. Additionally, BMI1 expression is correlated with a slow cycling pool of ISCs located at +4 position. While previous reports have shown interconversion between these two populations following tissue injury, we provide evidence that NOTCH signaling regulates the balance between these two populations and promotes asymmetric division as a mechanism for interconversion in the mouse intestine. In both in vitro and in vivo models, NOTCH suppression reduces the ratio of BMI1+/LGR5+ ISCs while NOTCH stimulation increases this ratio. Furthermore, NOTCH signaling can activate asymmetric division after intestinal inflammation. Overall, these data provide insights into ISC plasticity, demonstrating a direct interconversion mechanism between slow- and fast-cycling ISCs.

Lead-Halide Scalar Couplings in 207Pb NMR of APbX3 Perovskites (A?=?Cs, Methylammonium, Formamidinium; X?=?Cl, Br, I).

Project description:Understanding the structure and dynamics of newcomer optoelectronic materials - lead halide perovskites APbX3 [A?=?Cs, methylammonium (CH3NH3+, MA), formamidinium (CH(NH2)2+, FA); X?=?Cl, Br, I] - has been a major research thrust. In this work, new insights could be gained by using 207Pb solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at variable temperatures between 100 and 300?K. The existence of scalar couplings 1JPb-Cl of ca. 400?Hz and 1JPb-Br of ca. 2.3?kHz could be confirmed for MAPbX3 and CsPbX3. Diverse and fast structure dynamics, including rotations of A-cations, harmonic and anharmonic vibrations of the lead-halide framework and ionic mobility, affect the resolution of the coupling pattern. 207Pb NMR can therefore be used to detect the structural disorder and phase transitions. Furthermore, by comparing bulk and nanocrystalline CsPbBr3 a greater structural disorder of the PbBr6-octahedra had been confirmed in a nanoscale counterpart, not readily captured by diffraction-based techniques.

Synthetic approach of ternary magnesium niobate (Mg-Nb-O) compounds.

Project description:Magnesium based niobium oxides (Mg-Nb-O) were prepared by solid-state reactions owing to understand the function of transition metal oxides as promoters/catalysts for practical application. Magnesium niobate (Mg3Nb6O11) was synthesized for the first time in nearly pure form reported in this context. MgNb2O6 and Mg4Nb2O9 were prepared in oxidizing conditions; on the contrary, Mg3Nb6O11 preferred reducing environment. Stoichiometric mixtures of the precursor materials MgO, Nb2O5 and/or metallic Nb were annealed for the syntheses which revealed the effect of temperature on phase formation, reaction kinetics and heat of reaction. The products were examined by ex-situ, in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Crystallographic parameters of various binary and ternary compounds (Mg/Nb/O) formed in different calcination conditions, were extracted by Rietveld method. In-situ experiment results in single step reaction for the MgNb2O6 synthesis and the heat of formation of the solid-state reaction obtained to be minimum (93 kJ/mol). In contrast, the formation of Mg4Nb2O9 and Mg3Nb6O11 compounds towards pure phases rather complicated due to multistep reactions and corresponding heat of formation were estimated to be 140 and 190 kJ/mol. Experimental results have been discussed based on kinetic and thermodynamic constrains.
