ABSTRACT

Stable lead-free hybrid halide double perovskites have sparked widespread interest as a new kind of photoelectric material. Herein, for the first time, we successfully incorporated copper(I) and antimony(III) into two two-dimensional (2D) hybrid bimetallic double perovskite iodides, namely (NH3C6H11)4CuSbI8·H2O (CuSbI-1) and (NH3C6H10NH3)2CuSbI8·0.5H2O (CuSbI-2), using cyclohexylamine and 1,4-cyclohexanediamine as organic components. The band gaps for CuSbI-1 and CuSbI-2 were determined to be 2.22(2) eV and 2.21(2) eV, respectively. Furthermore, these two layered perovskites were readily dissolved in an organic solvent (1 mL DMF can dissolve 1 g sample for each compound) and could form smooth, pinhole-free, and uniform thin films through a facile spin-coating method. Photocurrent experiments with xenon lamp irradiation revealed the obvious photoelectric responses for both 2D double perovskites. The ratio of the photocurrent to the dark current (Ilight/Idark) for CuSbI-1 and CuSbI-2 is about 23 and 10, respectively, further suggesting their potential to be applied as light harvesters or light detectors. More importantly, these 2D double perovskite iodides show high moisture and thermal stabilities, indicating their potential for optoelectronic applications.

ABSTRACT

Bismuth organometal halide perovskites have recently been investigated as potential substitutes for lead perovskite solar-cell absorbers because of their lower toxicity. However, the narrowing of the band gap remains a crucial challenge for their practical application. All known Bi-based perovskites have large band gaps, thereby affording weak visible-light absorption. This study concerns a novel, lead-free, pseudo-3 D perovskite optoelectronic material, (MV)BiI5 (MV2+ =methyl viologen). The pseudo-3 D metal-halogen perovskite-like structure is constructed by connecting [BiI5 ] 2+ units via I⋅⋅⋅I contacts. MV, as a rigid organic amine, is located at the center of each parallelepiped to balance the charge and stabilize the structure. (MV)BiI5 has a narrow band gap of 1.48 eV and a better photoresponse than (MV)BiCl5 with a 1 D structure. (MV)BiI5 is the first Bi-based perovskite compound with a band gap energy comparable with (CH3 NH3 )PbI3 , which is encouraging for optoelectronic applications. This research will open a potential pathway for the design of pseudo-3 D Bi-based perovskites with performances comparable with APbX3 absorbers.

ABSTRACT

Materials that demonstrate near-infrared (NIR) absorption and can simultaneously convert the electromagnetic irradiation into heat are promising for photothermal therapy. Traditionally, such a material is either pure inorganic, such as CuS, Ag2S, and carbon nanotube, or pure organic, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and conjugated polymers. Here we show that strong NIR photothermal effect can also be achieved in inorganic-organic hybrid coordination polymers (CPs) or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Our strategy is to construct CPs with inorganic Ag-S components that are interlinked by the organic ligands into a higher-dimensional hybrid network. Interestingly, the two resulting CPs, [Ag(Py-4-CSS)] n 1 and [Ag2(Py-4-CSS)(Py-4-CSSS)] n 2 (Py-4-CSS = pyridine-4-dithiocarboxylate; Py-4-CSSS = pyridine-4-perthiocarboxylate), show disparate structures due to the varied coordination mode of the pyridine group. For 1, the N atom coordinates to the Ag+ center and forms a two-dimensional square framework, while for 2, such a Ag-N bond is disconnected and forms only a one-dimensional structure. Interestingly, this difference leads to the distinct absorption properties in the NIR region. Under 800 nm radiation, the temperature of 1 can rise up to 24.5 °C in 3 min with photothermal conversion efficiency of 22.1%, which is about 2× that of pure inorganic Ag2S material and among the highest compared to various known inorganic materials, for example, Au nanoshells (13%), nanorods (21%), and Cu2- xSe nanocrystals (22%) irradiated with 800 nm light, while for 2, the NIR absorption is absent. This result first demonstrates that the inorganic-organic hybrid approach can be applied to construct superior NIR photothermal materials, but the control of the structure is vital. Here the coordinating nitrogen atoms in 1 are conceived to be critical in promoting the charge transfer between the dithiocarboxylate ligands. To elucidate the response to NIR irradiation of 1, we measured the heat capacity and dielectric constant of 1 and also performed density functional theory calculations. Significantly, the large dielectric constant and flat energy bands indicates 1 is much easier to be polarized and has a high electron effective mass. Thus, unlike the pure inorganic material, such as Ag2S, in which electron and hole can quantum mechanically combine to give off light, the joint-force of organic ligands in 1 effectively enhances polaronic recombination into heat.
