Organic- inorganic hybrid perovskite shows promising properties such as optical, electrical, and magnetic. To address issues in the standard methylammonium lead iodide perovskite such as toxicity and stability, lead was replaced with Cu in metal ion part and iodine replaced by chlorine in the anionic position. In this work, methyl ammonium copper chloride (MA2CuCl4) and phenyl ethyl ammonium copper chloride (PEA2CuCl4) were synthesised. Optical and structural property variations of solution obtained by mixing MA2CuCl4 and PEA2CuCl4 in 1:1 ratio was studied. Methylammonium lead iodide has a wide range of applications, particularly in solar cells and photovoltaic systems. Phenylethyl ammonium copper chloride material exhibits both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. Methylammonium copper chloride is hygroscopic and unstable. To increase the stability of the material the organic part can be replaced with higher-order functional groups. Phenylethyl ammonium copper chloride is found to be thermally stable and has more moisture resistance ability compared to methyl ammonium copper chloride. From angle of efficiency, methyl ammonium copper chloride possessed higher performance than phenylethyl ammonium copper chloride, particularly in the field of solar cell perovskites. Uv-vis spectroscopy, FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR characterizations were done.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
