Abstract
The desire to commercialize perovskite solar cells continues to mount, motivating the development of scalable production. Evaluations of the impact of open-air processing have revealed a variety of physical changes in the fabricated devices─with few changes having the capacity to be functionalized. Here, we highlight the beneficial role of ambient oxygen during the open-air thermal processing of metastable γ-CsPbI3-based perovskite thin films and devices. Physiochemical-sensitive probes elucidate oxygen intercalation and the formation of Pb-O bonds in the CsPbI3 crystal, entering via iodine vacancies at the surface, creating superoxide (O2-) through electron transfer reactions with molecular oxygen, which drives the formation of a zero-dimensional Cs4PbI6 capping layer during annealing (>330 °C). The chemical conversion permanently alters the film structure, helping to shield the subsurface perovskite from moisture and introduces lattice anchoring sites, stabilizing otherwise unstable γ-CsPbI3 films. This functional modification is demonstrated in γ-CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells, boosting the operational stability and photoconversion efficiency of champion devices from 12.7 to 15.4% when annealed in dry air. Such findings prompt a reconsideration of glovebox-based perovskite solar cell research and establish a scenario where device fabrication can in fact greatly benefit from ambient oxygen.

Structural Features and Optical Properties of All-Inorganic Zero-Dimensional Halides Cs 4PbBr 6-xI x Obtained by Mechanochemistry. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:40762-40771. [PMID: 37595125 PMCID: PMC10472433 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c07707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
Despite the great success of hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite in photovoltaics, ascribed to its excellent optical absorption properties, its instability toward moisture is still an insurmountable drawback. All-inorganic perovskites are much less sensitive to humidity and have potential interest for solar cell applications. Alternative strategies have been developed to design novel materials with appealing properties, which include different topologies for the octahedral arrangements from three-dimensional (3D, e.g., CsPbBr3 perovskite) or two-dimensional (2D, e.g., CsPb2Br5) to zero-dimensional (0D, i.e., without connection between octahedra), as the case of Cs4PbX6 (X = Br, I) halides. The crystal structure of these materials is complex, and their thermal evolution is unexplored. In this work, we describe the synthesis of Cs4PbBr6-xIx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) halides by mechanochemical procedures with green credentials; these specimens display excellent crystallinity enabling a detailed structural investigation from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD) data, essential to revisit some features in the temperature range of 90-298 K. In all this regime, the structure is defined in the trigonal R3̅c space group (#167). The presence of Cs and X vacancies suggests some ionic mobility into the crystal structure of these 0D halides. Bond valence maps (BVMs) are useful in determining isovalent surfaces for both Cs4PbBr6 and Cs4PbI6 phases, unveiling the likely ionic pathways for cesium and bromide ions and showing a full 3D connection in the bromide phase, in contrast to the iodide one. On the other hand, the evolution of the anisotropic displacement parameters is useful to evaluate the Debye temperatures, confirming that Cs atoms have more freedom to move, while Pb is more confined at its site, likely due to a higher covalency degree in Pb-X bonds than that in Cs-X bonds. Diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy shows that the optical band gap can be tuned depending on iodine content (x) in the range of 3.6-3.06 eV. From density functional theory (DFT) simulations, the general trend of reducing the band gap when Br is replaced by I is well reproduced.

Abstract
The contemporary work focuses on embossing the emissive nature of lead halide perovskite materials, specifically Cs4PbBr6 microcrystal powder prepared via single step bulk recrystallization method followed by the solvent evaporation route from gram to kilogram scale. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the formation of phase pure Cs4PbBr6 with a goodness of fit value of 1.51 calculated from Rietveld refinement and the fluorophore powder manifesting an intrinsic band gap of 3.76 eV. The experimental yield of 99.4% indicates the absence of any unreacted precursors. The fabricated flexible, free-standing Cs4PbBr6@PMMA film encompassed better moisture stability without undergoing phase transitions for 400 days. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra denote that 51% of the intensity was retained when cooled back to room temperature after heating it till 180 °C. Moisture studies at two extreme humidity conditions also reveal the appreciable stability of the fluorophore film against moisture. The stability studies with respect to UV irradiation substantiate that the film retained its stability even after exposing it continuously to UV radiation for seven days. The outstanding optical properties of these microcrystals, owing to the higher exciton binding energy, make them a promising candidate as excellent fluorophores for color conversion, backlight, and light-emitting applications. The Cs4PbBr6@PMMA film was employed as the top cover of a commercial blue LED, producing a robust green emission which revealed its possible application as a phosphor material.

Cesium Lead Iodide Perovskites: Optically Active Crystal Phase Stability to Surface Engineering. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:mi13081318.

Abstract
Among perovskites, the research on cesium lead iodides (CsPbI3) has attracted a large research community, owing to their all-inorganic nature and promising solar cell performance. Typically, the CsPbI3 solar cell devices are prepared at various heterojunctions, and working at fluctuating temperatures raises questions on the material stability-related performance of such devices. The fundamental studies reveal that their poor stability is due to a lower side deviation from Goldschmidt's tolerance factor, causing weak chemical interactions within the crystal lattice. In the case of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, where their stability is related to the inherent chemical nature of the organic cations, which cannot be manipulated to improve the stability drastically whereas the stability of CsPbI3 is related to surface and lattice engineering. Thus, the challenges posed by CsPbI3 could be overcome by engineering the surface and inside the CsPbI3 crystal lattice. A few solutions have been proposed, including controlled crystal sizes, surface modifications, and lattice engineering. Various research groups have been working on these aspects and had accumulated a rich understanding of these materials. In this review, at first, we survey the fundamental aspects of CsPbI3 polymorphs structure, highlighting the superiority of CsPbI3 over other halide systems, stability, the factors (temperature, polarity, and size influence) leading to their phase transformations, and electronic band structure along with the important property of the defect tolerance nature. Fortunately, the factors stabilizing the most effective phases are achieved through a size reduction and the efficient surface passivation on the delicate CsPbI3 nanocrystal surfaces. In the following section, we have provided the up-to-date surface passivating methods to suppress the non-radiative process for near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield, while maintaining their optically active phases, especially through molecular links (ligands, polymers, zwitterions, polymers) and inorganic halides. We have also provided recent advances to the efficient synthetic protocols for optically active CsPbI3 NC phases to use readily for solar cell applications. The nanocrystal purification techniques are challenging and had a significant effect on the device performances. In part, we summarized the CsPbI3-related solar cell device performances with respect to the device fabrication methods. At the end, we provide a brief outlook on the view of surface and lattice engineering in CsPbI3 NCs for advancing the enhanced stability which is crucial for superior optical and light applications.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have emerged as a promising group of materials for optoelectronic applications such as photovoltaics, light emission, and photodetectors. So-far, in particular, the stability of light-emitting devices is limited, which is in part attributed to the intrinsic ionic conductivity of these materials. High-performance devices inevitably contain heterojunctions similar to other optoelectronic devices based on oxide perovskites, II-VI, or III-V group semiconductors. To enable efficient heterojunctions, ion exchange at the interface between different layers should be controlled. Herein, we report a method that enables to control and monitor the extent of anion intermixing between solution-processed lead bromide and vacuum-deposited lead chloride perovskite films. Taking advantage of the ability to fine tune the layer thicknesses of the vacuum-deposited films, we systematically study the effect of film thickness on anionic intermixing. Using these multiple layers, we prepare proof of principle light-emitting devices exhibiting green and blue electroluminescence.

Abstract
Inorganic metal halide perovskite system is considered as a promising candidate for applications from display to biomedical industry. Intrinsic inorganic lead halides possess small Stokes shift or self-absorption, providing negative impact for both photo voltaic and biomedical applications. Therefore, the development of an inorganic halide perovskite system with large Stokes shift is a significant venture. This review aims to provide an updated survey of the Stokes shift phenomena in the inorganic lead halide perovskites. The first section focuses about the mechanism, the second section gives different approaches in preparing inorganic perovskites with distinct Stokes shift, while the third section highlights the potential applications in both photovoltaic and biomedical areas. This review provides deep insight about the importance and usefulness of such phenomena in inorganic lead halides, essential for various applications.

Abstract
The low formation energies inherent in metal halide perovskites enable the structure to be easily broken and remade with little energy input. In this work, we leverage low formation energy to demonstrate 0D/3D structural transformations induced by reversible intercalation of methanol to yield dramatic control of visible light absorption. We identify a methanolated structure that features sheets of 0D isolated [PbI6]4- octahedra separated by MAI and methanol. Methanol and water reversibly displace each other in the 0D complex by controlling the chemical potential of the system via Le Chatelier's principle. The weaker H-bonding of methanol compared to water effectively reduces the complex dissociation temperature from 70 to 50 °C, rendering the methanol complex more desirable for an array of next-generation applications spanning low-power-consumption memory to switchable photovoltaics.

Abstract
In recent decades, many technological advances have been enabled by nanoscale phenomena, giving rise to the field of nanotechnology. In particular, unique optical and electronic phenomena occur on length scales less than 10 nanometres, which enable novel applications. Halide perovskites have been the focus of intense research on their optoelectronic properties and have demonstrated impressive performance in photovoltaic devices and later in other optoelectronic technologies, such as lasers and light-emitting diodes. The most studied crystalline form is the three-dimensional one, but, recently, the exploration of the low-dimensional derivatives has enabled new sub-classes of halide perovskite materials to emerge with distinct properties. In these materials, low-dimensional metal halide structures responsible for the electronic properties are separated and partially insulated from one another by the (typically organic) cations. Confinement occurs on a crystal lattice level, enabling bulk or thin-film materials that retain a degree of low-dimensional character. In particular, quasi-zero dimensional perovskite derivatives are proving to have distinct electronic, absorption, and photoluminescence properties. They are being explored for various technologies beyond photovoltaics (e.g. thermoelectrics, lasing, photodetectors, memristors, capacitors, LEDs). This review brings together the recent literature on these zero-dimensional materials in an interdisciplinary way that can spur applications for these compounds. The synthesis methods, the electrical, optical, and chemical properties, the advances in applications, and the challenges that need to be overcome as candidates for future electronic devices have been covered.

Abstract
Flexible semiconductor materials, where structural fluctuations and transformation are tolerable and have low impact on electronic properties, focus interest for future applications. Two-dimensional thin layer lead halide perovskites are hailed for their unconventional optoelectronic features. We report structural deformations via thin layer buckling in colloidal CsPbBr3 nanobelts adsorbed on carbon substrates. The microstructure of buckled nanobelts is determined using transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. We measured significant decrease in emission from the buckled nanobelt using cathodoluminescence, marking the influence of such mechanical deformations on electronic properties. By employing plate buckling theory, we approximate adhesion forces between the buckled nanobelt and the substrate to be Fadhesion ∼ 0.12 μN, marking a limit to sustain such deformation. This work highlights detrimental effects of mechanical buckling on electronic properties in halide perovskite nanostructures and points toward the capillary action that should be minimized in fabrication of future devices and heterostructures based on nanoperovskites.
