Ligand assisted growth of perovskite single crystals with low defect density.

ABSTRACT: A low defect density in metal halide perovskite single crystals is critical to achieve high performance optoelectronic devices. Here we show the reduction of defect density in perovskite single crystals grown by a ligand-assisted solution process with 3-(decyldimethylammonio)-propane-sulfonate inner salt (DPSI) as an additive. DPSI ligands anchoring with lead ions on perovskite crystal surfaces not only suppress nucleation in solution, but also regulate the addition of proper ions to the growing surface, which greatly enhances the crystal quality. The grown CH₃NH₃PbI₃ crystals show better crystallinity and a 23-fold smaller trap density of 7 × 10¹⁰ cm^-3 than the optimized control crystals. The enhanced material properties result in significantly suppressed ion migration and superior X-ray detection sensitivity of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ detectors of (2.6 ± 0.4) × 10⁶ µC Gy^-1air cm^-2 for 60 kVp X-ray and the lowest detectable dose rate reaches (5.0 ± 0.7) nGy s^-1, which enables reduced radiation dose to patients in medical X-ray diagnostics.

Defect-Induced Inhomogeneous Phase Transition in 2D Perovskite Single Crystals at Low Temperatures.

Project description:The temperature-induced phase transition in two-dimensional (2D) layered perovskites was recently found to be incomplete even if the temperature dropped to tens of kelvin. However, its intrinsic cause still remains unclear, and the information on the phase transition in individual single crystals (SCs) is also limited. Herein, we study the phase transition process in individual (n-C4H9NH3)2PbI4 SCs using a home-built photoluminescence (PL)-scanned image microscope. At 83 K, the phase transition is indeed incomplete, leading to the coexistence and inhomogeneous distributions of room-temperature and low-temperature phases. We map the distribution of phase transition degree on individual SCs at 83 K, which exhibits a strong positive (negative) correlation with the distribution of local defects (PL lifetimes) at 293 K, indicating that the phase transition is enhanced by initial defects. Our findings might provide new insight into the phase transition of (n-C4H9NH3)2PbI4 crystals, which is of potential value for applications based on 2D layered perovskites.

Microwave-Assisted Preparation of Organo-Lead Halide Perovskite Single Crystals.

Project description:The efficiency of organo-lead halide perovskite-based optoelectronic devices is dramatically lower for amorphous materials compared to highly crystalline ones. Therefore, it is challenging to optimize and scale up the production of large-sized single crystals of perovskite materials. Here, we describe a novel and original approach to preparing lead halide perovskite single crystals by applying microwave radiation during the crystallization. The microwave radiation primarily causes precise heating control in the whole volume and avoids temperature fluctuations. Moreover, this facile microwave-assisted method of preparation is highly reproducible and fully automated, it and can be applied for various different perovskite structures. In addition, this cost-effective method is expected to be easily scalable because of its versatility and low energy consumption. The crystallization process has low heat losses; therefore, only a low microwave reactor power of 8-15 W during the temperature changes and of less than 1 W during the temperature holding is needed.

Improved Photostability in Fluorinated 2D Perovskite Single Crystals.

Project description:Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are very promising semiconductors for many optoelectronic applications, although their extensive use is limited by their poor stability under environmental conditions. In this work, we synthesize two-dimensional perovskite single crystals and investigate their optical and structural evolution under continuous light irradiation. We found that the hydrophobic nature of the fluorinated component, together with the absence of grain boundary defects, lead to improved material stability thanks to the creation of a robust barrier that preserve the crystalline structure, hindering photo-degradation processes usually promoted by oxygen and moisture.

A polymer controlled nucleation route towards the generalized growth of organic-inorganic perovskite single crystals.

Project description:Recently, there are significant progresses in the growth of organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite single crystals, however, due to their susceptible nucleation and growth mechanisms and solvent requirements, the efficient and generalized growth for these single crystals is still challenging. Here we report the work towards this target with a polymer-controlled nucleation process for the highly efficient growth of large-size high-quality simple ternary, mixed-cations and mixed-halide perovskite single crystals. Among them, the carrier lifetime of FAPbBr3 single crystals is largely improved to 10199 ns. Mixed MA/FAPbBr3 single crystals are synthesized. The crucial point in this process is suggested to be an appropriate coordinative interaction between polymer oxygen groups and Pb2+, greatly decreasing the nuclei concentrations by as much as 4 orders of magnitudes. This polymer-controlled route would help optimizing the solution-based OIHPs crystal growth and promoting applications of perovskite single crystals.

Contactless measurements of photocarrier transport properties in perovskite single crystals.

Project description:The remarkable properties of metal halide perovskites arising from their impressive charge carrier diffusion lengths have led to rapid advances in solution-processed optoelectronics. Unfortunately, diffusion lengths reported in perovskite single crystals have ranged widely - from 3 μm to 3 mm - for ostensibly similar materials. Here we report a contactless method to measure the carrier mobility and further extract the diffusion length: our approach avoids both the effects of contact resistance and those of high electric field. We vary the density of quenchers - epitaxially included within perovskite single crystals - and report the dependence of excited state lifetime in the perovskite on inter-quencher spacing. Our results are repeatable and self-consistent (i.e. they agree on diffusion length for many different quencher concentrations) to within ± 6%. Using this method, we obtain a diffusion length in metal-halide perovskites of 2.6 μm ± 0.1 μm.

Mechanism for rapid growth of organic-inorganic halide perovskite crystals.

Project description:Optoelectronic devices based on hybrid halide perovskites have shown remarkable progress to high performance. However, despite their apparent success, there remain many open questions about their intrinsic properties. Single crystals are often seen as the ideal platform for understanding the limits of crystalline materials, and recent reports of rapid, high-temperature crystallization of single crystals should enable a variety of studies. Here we explore the mechanism of this crystallization and find that it is due to reversible changes in the solution where breaking up of colloids, and a change in the solvent strength, leads to supersaturation and subsequent crystallization. We use this knowledge to demonstrate a broader range of processing parameters and show that these can lead to improved crystal quality. Our findings are therefore of central importance to enable the continued advancement of perovskite optoelectronics and to the improved reproducibility through a better understanding of factors influencing and controlling crystallization.

Growth of Low-Defect Nitrogen-Doped Graphene Film Using Condensation-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition Method.

Project description:It is significantly important to modulate the electrical properties of graphene films through doping for building desired electronic devices. One of the effective doping methods is the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of graphene films with heteroatom doping during the process, but this usually results in nitrogen-doped graphene with low doping levels, high defect density, and low carrier mobility. In this work, we developed a novel condensation-assisted CVD method for the synthesis of high-quality nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) films at low temperatures of 400 °C using solid 3,4,5-trichloropyridine as a carbon and nitrogen source. The condensation system was employed to reduce the volatilization of the solid source during the non-growth stage, which leads to a great improvement of quality of as-prepared NG films. Compared to the one synthesized using conventional CVD methods, the NG films synthesized using condensation-assisted CVD present extremely low defects with a ratio of from D- to G-peak intensity (ID/IG) in the Raman spectrum lower than 0.35. The corresponding total N content, graphitic nitrogen/total nitrogen ratio, and carrier mobility reach 3.2 at%, 67%, and 727 cm2V-1S-1, respectively. This improved condensation-assisted CVD method provides a facile and well-controlled approach for fabricating high-quality NG films, which would be very useful for building electronic devices with high electrical performance.

Single-emissive-layer all-perovskite white light-emitting diodes employing segregated mixed halide perovskite crystals.

Project description:Metal halide perovskites have demonstrated impressive properties for achieving efficient monochromatic light-emitting diodes. However, the development of white perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) remains a big challenge. Here, we demonstrate a single-emissive-layer all-perovskite white PeLED using a mixed halide perovskite film as the emissive layer. The perovskite film consists of separated mixed halide perovskite phases with blue and red emissions, which are beneficial for suppressing halide anion exchange and preventing charge transfer. As a result, the white PeLED shows balanced white light emission with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). In addition, we find that the achievement of white light emission from mixed halide perovskites strongly depends on effective modulation of the halide salt precursors, especially lead bromide and benzamidine hydrochloride in our case. Our work provides very useful guidelines for realizing single-emissive-layer all-perovskite white PeLEDs based on mixed halide perovskites, which will spur the development of high-performance white PeLEDs.

Terpyridine-derived perovskite single crystals with tunable structures and electronic dimensionality.

Project description:Dimensionality engineering has proved to be a reliable strategy for addressing the issue of perovskite stability. In this study, a series of previously unreported low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite single crystals were designed and grown by following a simple hydrothermal approach involving solution processing. The as-prepared terpyridine-derived perovskite single crystals displayed tunable structures and electronic dimensionality, which was closely associated with the crystal growth conditions. The performed DFT calculations suggested that the fluctuating conduction band edge demonstrates obvious charge delocalization associated with the π-conjugation effect, a feature promoting efficient charge transport by means of coupling structural dimensionality and electronic dimensionality. This study has provided new ideas for the design of new materials to be used in fields involving photovoltaic devices.
