Article Abstract

Double perovskite crystals are promising alternatives for lead-based perovskites that has potential to address toxicity and instability issues. In this study, CsAgBiClnanocrystals (NCs) with high absorption coefficients were synthesized by hot-injection method. The bandgap engineering was realized by tuning the halide composition in CsAgBiClto CsAgBiBr. Both NCs were used as light-absorbing layers in lead-free perovskite photodiodes that exhibit wavelength-selectivity for UV-visible light operatable even at a bias voltage of 0 V. CsAgBiBr-based photodiode exhibits a characteristic detection peak at 340 nm with a responsivity of 3.21 mA W, a specific detectivity up to 8.91 × 10Jones and a fast response speed with a rise/fall time of 30/35 ms. The excellent performance of self-driven photodiodes lights up the prospect of lead-free perovskite NCs in highly efficient optoelectronic devices.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, most of the reported MOFs have low electrical conductivity and poor stability, and therefore addressing these problems is crucial for achieving higher electrocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, direct observations of the electrocatalytic behavior, which is of great significance to the understanding of the electrocatalytic mechanism, remain highly challenging.
