Published: July 2023

A new process is reported for the incorporation of a fluoropolymer into a solid perovskite film. Poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate) [CHC(CH)(COCHCF)] was delivered to methylammonium lead iodide (CHNHPbI) perovskite films by crystallizing the film in supercritical carbon dioxide/ethanol containing the dissolved fluoropolymer. The surface was characterized before and after fluoropolymer exposure using scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. The results indicate that the fluoropolymer was incorporated into the perovskite film during the supercritical fluid crystallization process. The incorporation of a hydrophobic fluoropolymer into perovskite has the potential to improve resistance to environmental degradation.

Heterogeneous Cluster Energetics and Nonlinear Thermodynamic Response in Supercritical Fluids.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA.

Microstructural heterogeneities arising from molecular clusters directly affect the nonlinear thermodynamic properties of supercritical fluids. We present a physical model to elucidate the relation between energy exchange and heterogeneous cluster dynamics during the transition from liquidlike to gaslike conditions. By analyzing molecular-dynamics data and employing physical principles, the model considers contributions from three key processes, namely, changing cluster density, cluster separation, and transfer of molecules between clusters.
