The fundamental opto-electronic properties of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are strongly affected by their structural parameters. These parameters are particularly critical in formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI), in which its large structural disorder leads to a non-perovskite yellow phase that hinders its photovoltaic performance. A clear understanding of how the structural parameters affect the opto-electronic properties is currently lacking. We have studied the opto-electronic properties of FAPbI using microwave conductivity measurements. We find that the mobility of FAPbI increases at low temperature following a phonon scattering behavior. Unlike methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI), there are no abrupt changes after the low-temperature β/γ phase transition and the lifetime is remarkably long. This absence of abrupt changes can be understood in terms of the reduced rotational freedom and smaller dipole moment of the formamidinium, as compared to methylammonium.

Hybrid organohalide perovskites have received considerable attention due to their exceptional photovoltaic (PV) conversion efficiencies in optoelectronic devices. In this study, we report the development of a highly sensitive, self-powered perovskite-based photovoltaic photodiode (PVPD) fabricated by incorporating a poly(amic acid)-polyimide (PAA-PI) copolymer as an interfacial layer between a methylammonium lead iodide (CHNHPbI, MAPbI) perovskite light-absorbing layer and a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) hole injection layer. The PAA-PI interfacial layer effectively suppresses carrier recombination at the interfaces, resulting in a high power conversion efficiency () of 11.

Lead-free cesium bismuth iodide (CsBiI) perovskite exhibits extraordinary optoelectronic properties and attractive potential in various optoelectronic devices, especially the application for photodetectors. However, most CsBiIphotodetectors demonstrated poor detection performance due to the difficulty in obtaining high-quality polycrystalline films. Therefore, it makes sense to modulate the preparation of high-quality CsBiIpolycrystalline films and expand its applications.

Systematic Study of the Synthesis of Monodisperse CsPbI Perovskite Nanoplatelets for Efficient Color-Pure Light Emitting Diodes.

Metal halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) possess ultra-narrow photoluminescence (PL) bands tunable over the entire visible spectral range, which makes them promising for utilization in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with spectrally pure emission colors. This calls for development of synthetic methods toward perovskite NPls with a high degree of control over both their thickness and lateral dimensions. A general strategy is developed to obtain such monodisperse CsPbI NPls through the control over the halide-to-lead ratio during heating-up reaction.

Enhanced Efficiency and Stability in Blade-Coated Perovskite Solar Cells through Using 2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorophenylethylammonium Halide Additives.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells is sensitive to their method of fabrication as well as the combination of materials in the perovskite layer. Air knife-assisted blade coating enables good quality perovskite films to be formed but the device efficiencies still tend to lag behind those fabricated using spin-coated perovskite layers. Herein we report the use of three 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenylethylammonium halides (FEAX, where X = I, Br or Cl) as additives in nitrogen knife-assisted blade-coated methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI) perovskite solar cells.

Porous lead iodide (PbI) film is crucial for the complete reaction between PbI and ammonium salts in sequential-deposition technology so as to achieve high crystallinity perovskite film. Herein, it is found that the tensile stress in tin (IV) oxide (SnO) electron transport layer (ETL) is a key factor influencing the morphology and crystallization of PbI films. Focusing on this, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) is used as an interfacial modifier in the SnO/PbI interface to decrease the tensile stress to reduce the necessary critical Gibbs free energy for PbI nuclei formation.
