Phase State Influence on Photoluminescence of MAPb(BrxI1−x)3 Perovskites towards Optimized Photonics Applications

Abstract

Perovskite halide has many advantages that attracted the attention of researchers in the last years, but many challenges prevent the use of halide perovskites in different applications. One of these challenges is the low thermal stability resulting in phase transitions with temperatures. Here, the photoluminescence (PL) characteristics and related phase transitions of different CH3NH3Pb(BrxI1−x)3 (MA(BrxI1−x)3)3 perovskites structures have been investigated under a wide temperature range. The work that has been conducted demonstrates that under temperature, the exciton behavior of the halide anions, I and Br, has a considerable impact on structural phases and the fluorescence process. The obtained results for the temperature dependence of PL for MAPb(BrxI1−x)3 showed a wide range of emission wavelengths, between 500–800 nm with a decrease in PL intensity with increasing temperature. In addition, the ratio of both bromine and iodine in MAPb(BrxI1−x)3 affects the range of phase transition temperatures, where at x = 0.00, 0.25, and 0.50 the first transition occurs below room temperature (orthorhombic to tetragonal) phase and the other occurs above room temperature (tetragonal to cubic) phase. Furthermore, increasing the proportion of bromine causes all the transitions to occur below room temperature. The presented findings suggest a suitable halide component under a temperature-controlled phase transformation to benefit these materials in photonics devices.

A DFT approach to explore the structural, optoelectronic, mechanical, and thermoelectric attributes of lead-free RbInX3 (X = I, Br, Cl) halide perovskites for renewable energy applications

“…Perovskites are an attractive possibility for optoelectronic devices due to their high structural and compositional tunability, as well as their remarkable quantum yields for photoluminescence [1,2]. Perovskites are widely used in solar cells, LED's, photodetectors, and lasers as their exceptional photo-physical characteristics [3][4][5][6].…”

A computational insight into Rb2ASbX6 (A=Tl, Cu & X=I, Cl) double perovskites for energy storage and optoelectronic applications

“…The general formula for double perovskites is A B X , ¢B where A could be occupied with alkaline earth metals, lanthanide alkali metals series atoms, B atom could be d-block atoms or lanthanide series of atoms, and X is generally occupied with halides that have very significant technological applications [14][15][16]. The lead-based double perovskites with their diverse properties are widely reported [17][18][19][20]. The Pb toxicity limited the commercial use of double perovskites and forced the research community to find a substitute for lead.…”
