Crystallization of CsPbBr₃ single crystals in water for X-ray detection.

ABSTRACT: Metal halide perovskites have fascinated the research community over the past decade, and demonstrated unprecedented success in optoelectronics. In particular, perovskite single crystals have emerged as promising candidates for ionization radiation detection, due to the excellent opto-electronic properties. However, most of the reported crystals are grown in organic solvents and require high temperature. In this work, we develop a low-temperature crystallization strategy to grow CsPbBr₃ perovskite single crystals in water. Then, we carefully investigate the structure and optoelectronic properties of the crystals obtained, and compare them with CsPbBr₃ crystals grown in dimethyl sulfoxide. Interestingly, the water grown crystals exhibit a distinct crystal habit, superior charge transport properties and better stability in air. We also fabricate X-ray detectors based on the CsPbBr₃ crystals, and systematically characterize their device performance. The crystals grown in water demonstrate great potential for X-ray imaging with enhanced performance metrics.

Growth and High-Performance Photodetectors of CsPbBr3 Single Crystals.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have demonstrated exceptional photovoltaic properties, making them highly promising for solar cells and photodetectors (PDs). However, the organic components of these materials are vulnerable to heat and strong light illumination, limiting their application prospects. All-inorganic cesium-based perovskite PDs, on the other hand, possess enhanced thermal tolerance and stability, making them ideal for perovskite applications. The utilization of a ternary mixture solvent and additives in combination with single crystal (SC) growth has enabled the production of highly crystalline SCs with a defect density of 3.79 × 109 cm-3. The performance of the SC PDs had been evaluated using metal-semiconductor-metal devices, which demonstrated excellent results with a dark current as low as 0.198 μA at 10 V bias, on-off ratios exceeding 103, and a response time of shorter than 1 ms.

Surface versus Bulk Currents and Ionic Space-Charge Effects in CsPbBr3 Single Crystals.

Project description:CsPbBr3 single crystals have potential for application in ionizing-radiation detection devices due to their optimal optoelectronic properties. Yet, their mixed ionic-electronic conductivity produces instability and hysteretic artifacts hindering the long-term device operation. Herein, we report an electrical characterization of CsPbBr3 single crystals operating up to the time scale of hours. Our fast time-of-flight measurements reveal bulk mobilities of 13-26 cm2 V-1 s-1 with a negative voltage bias dependency. By means of a guard ring (GR) configuration, we separate bulk and surface mobilities showing significant qualitative and quantitative transport differences. Our experiments of current transients and impedance spectroscopy indicate the formation of several regimes of space-charge-limited current (SCLC) associated with mechanisms similar to the Poole-Frenkel ionized-trap-assisted transport. We show that the ionic-SCLC seems to be an operational mode in this lead halide perovskite, despite the fact that experiments can be designed where the contribution of mobile ions to transport is negligible.

Reveal the Humidity Effect on the Phase Pure CsPbBr3 Single Crystals Formation at Room Temperature and Its Application for Ultrahigh Sensitive X-Ray Detector.

Project description:Generally, growing phase pure CsPbBr3 single crystals is challenging, and CsPb2 Br5 or Cs4 PbBr6 by-products are usually formed due to the different solubilities of CsBr and PbBr2 in the single solvent. Herein, the growth of high-quality phase pure CsPbBr3 perovskite single crystals at room temperature by a humidity controlled solvent evaporation method is reported first. Meanwhile, the room temperature phase transition process from three dimensional (3D) cubic CsPbBr3 to two dimensional (2D) layered tetragonal CsPb2 Br5 and the detailed mechanism induced by humidity are revealed. Moreover, compared with the organic-inorganic perovskite, the prepared CsPbBr3 single crystals are much more stable under high humidity, which satisfies the long-term working conditions of X-ray detectors. The X-ray detectors based on CsPbBr3 single crystals show a high sensitivity and a low detection limit of 1.89 μGyair s-1 , all of which meet the needs of medical diagnosis.

High-quality all-inorganic CsPbBr3 single crystals prepared by a facile one-step solution growth method.

Project description:In this report, a facile one-step solution growth method has been proposed to synthesize high-quality all-inorganic CsPbBr3 single crystals. High-resolution X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence (PL), and current-voltage techniques have been performed to study the properties of CsPbBr3 single crystals. The results have shown that the as-grown CsPbBr3 single crystals exhibited a narrow X-ray rocking curve with a FWHM (full width at half maximum) of 0.043°, a narrow room-temperature PL spectrum with the FWHM of 18.9 nm, and extremely low density of traps (∼5.1 × 109 cm-3). The results shown in this work will provide a valuable strategy for the fabrication of high-quality all-inorganic CsPbBr3 single crystals.

Characterization of Cl-doped two-dimensional (PEA)2PbBr4 perovskite single crystals for fast neutron and gamma ray detection.

Project description:In this paper, a high-quality Cl-doped two-dimensional halide perovskite (PEA)2Pb(Br0.95Cl0.05)4 crystal was prepared using a seed-induced volatile solvent method. On optimizing the Cl- doping concentration, we found that 5% Cl-doping results in (PEA)2PbBr4 with the highest optical and photon yield. Based on the Cl-doped (PEA)2PbBr4 single crystal, the response characterization of the (PEA)2Pb(Br0.95Cl0.05)4 crystal in the mixed field of neutrons and gamma rays (n/γ) has been verified. Using the time-of-flight method and the linear relationship between integral charge and neutron yield, it was proved that (PEA)2Pb(Br0.95Cl0.05)4 crystal can be used for n/γ screening. The time difference between the fast neutron released by a single nuclear reaction and the γ photon arriving at the detector was 130 ns, and the arrival time of the γ photon is earlier than that of the fast neutron. This work has a broad application prospect in the study of nuclear reaction kinetics, the monitoring of the neutron yield of fusion devices and the total energy released by nuclear reactions.

X-Ray-Induced Modification of the Photophysical Properties of MAPbBr3 Single Crystals.

Project description:Methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) perovskite single crystals demonstrate to be excellent direct X-ray and gamma-ray detectors with outstanding sensitivity and low limit of detection. Despite this, thorough studies on the photophysical effects of exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation on this material are still lacking. In this work, we present our findings regarding the effects of controlled X-ray irradiation on the optoelectronic properties of MAPbBr3 single crystals. Irradiation is carried out in air with an imaging X-ray tube, simulating real-life application in a medical facility. By means of surface photovoltage spectroscopy, we find that X-ray exposure quenches free excitons in the material and introduces new bound excitonic species. Despite this drastic effect, the crystals recover after 1 week of storage in dark and low humidity conditions. By means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we find that the origin of the new bound excitonic species is the formation of bromine vacancies, leading to local changes in the dielectric response of the material. The recovery effect is attributed to vacancy filling by atmospheric oxygen and water.

Nucleation-controlled growth of superior lead-free perovskite Cs3Bi2I9 single-crystals for high-performance X-ray detection.

Project description:The organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites have emerged as a series of star materials for solar cells, lasers and detectors. However, the issues raised by the toxic lead element and marginal stability due to the volatile organic components have severely limited their potential applications. In this work, we develop a nucleation-controlled solution method to grow large size high-quality Cs3Bi2I9 perovskite single crystals (PSCs). Using the technique, we harvest some centimeter-sized single crystals and achieved high device performance. We find that X-ray detectors based on PSCs exhibit high sensitivity of 1652.3??C?Gyair-1?cm-2 and very low detectable dose rate of 130?nGyair?s-1, both desired in medical diagnostics. In addition, its outstanding thermal stability inspires us to develop a high temperature X-ray detector with stable response at up to 100?°C. Furthermore, PSCs exhibit high X-ray imaging capability thanks to its negligible signal drifting and extremely high stability.

Ultra-stable CsPbBr3 Perovskite Nanosheets for X-Ray Imaging Screen.

Project description:Wet chemistry methods, including hot-injection and precipitation methods, have emerged as major synthetic routes for high-quality perovskite nanocrystals in backlit display and scintillation applications. However, low chemical yield hinders their upscale production for practical use. Meanwhile, the labile nature of halide-based perovskite poses a major challenge for long-term storage of perovskite nanocrystals. Herein, we report a green synthesis at room temperature for gram-scale production of CsPbBr3 nanosheets with minimum use of solvent, saving over 95% of the solvent for the unity mass nanocrystal production. The perovskite colloid exhibits record stability upon long-term storage for up to 8 months, preserving a photoluminescence quantum yield of 63% in solid state. Importantly, the colloidal nanosheets show self-assembly behavior upon slow solidification, generating a crack-free thin film in a large area. The uniform film was then demonstrated as an efficient scintillation screen for X-ray imaging. Our findings bring a scalable tool for synthesis of high-quality perovskite nanocrystals, which may inspire the industrial optoelectronic application of large-area perovskite film.

Rapid Crystallization of All-Inorganic CsPbBr3 Perovskite for High-Brightness Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Research into perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) has been rapidly gaining momentum since the initial reports of green-emitting methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3)-based devices were published. However, issues pertaining to its stability and morphological control still hamper progress toward high performing devices. Solvent engineering, a technique typically employed to modulate film crystallization, offers little opportunity for scale-up due to the tendency for inhomogeneous film growth and low degree of reproducibility. Here, we propose and show a simple gas-facilitated process to deposit a stable, all-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 film. The formation of smaller and less percolated grains, which gives rise to enhanced optical properties, highlights the importance of spatial charge confinement in the film. Consequently, the performance of our PeLEDs shows great improvement, with luminance as high as 8218 cd m-2 and turn-on voltage as low as 2.4 V. Concomitantly, the current efficiency and EQE of our device were increased to 0.72 cd A-1 and 0.088%, respectively. High reproducibility in the performance of PeLEDs fabricated using this process opens the path for large-area devices.
