In recent years, inorganic perovskite materials based on metallic halides have attracted significant attention due to their non-toxicity and ease of synthesis, making them suitable for various applications. This article describes the slow evaporation approach at room temperature for the fabrication of a non-toxic inorganic perovskite based on metallic halide CsZnCl. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic phase of the space group, as confirmed by room temperature X-ray diffraction.

Article Synopsis
  • - Metallic perovskites, particularly CsMnBr, show promising optical and electrical properties that make them effective semiconductors for solar cell production.
  • - The study finds that CsMnBr has a 3.29 eV bandgap and exhibits semiconductor behavior at high temperatures, with AC conductivity and varying dielectric loss frequencies.
  • - It suggests that the conduction mechanism in CsMnBr involves small polaron tunneling, and emphasizes the need to explore electrical characteristics for a better understanding of its semiconductor nature.

NaFeMnO ( = 1 and 2/3) layered oxides were prepared by an improved solid-state synthesis method. The XRD analysis confirmed the high purity of these samples. The Rietveld refinement of the crystalline structure illustrated that the prepared materials crystallize in a hexagonal system in the space group with the P3 structure for = 1 and in a rhombohedral system with the 6/ space group and P2 structure type for = 2/3.

The disodium cobalt(ii) orthosilicate material (NCS) has been synthesized using improved solid-state (NCS-SS) and co-precipitation (NCS-CP) methods of synthesis. The Rietveld refinement of the XRD pattern of NaCoSiO has demonstrated an orthorhombic crystal system with the space groups 2 and for NCS-SS and NCS-CP respectively. The elemental mapping of microstructures by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) showed the porous morphology and the homogenous particles of the NaCoSiO powders.

LiM(WO) (M = Co, Cu or Ni) materials have been synthesized using the solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed the single phase of the synthesized compounds in the triclinic crystal system (space group 1̄). The SEM analyses revealed nearly spherical morphology with the particle size in the range of 1-10 μm.
