This study compared the photoluminescence (PL) stabilities of formamidinium (FA) and methylammonium (MA) in lead iodide perovskite quantum dots (QDs). To exclude other factors, such as size and purity, that may affect stability, MAPbI and FAPbI QDs with nearly identical sizes (~10.0 nm) were synthesized by controlling the ligand concentration and synthesis temperature. Transmission electron microscopy images and X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed homogeneous single-phase perovskite structures. Additionally, the bandgaps and sizes of the synthesized QDs closely matched those of the infinite quantum well model, which guaranteed that the photostability was solely caused by the different organic molecules in the two QDs. We analyzed the PL peak centers and full-width at half maximum of the QDs for 32 days. The enhanced stability of FAPbI was found to be caused by the nearly zero redshift (1.615 eV) of its PL peak, in contrast to the redshift (1.685→1.670 eV) of MAPbI.

Although fullerene bisadducts are promising electron-transporting materials for tin halide perovskite solar cells, they are generally synthesized as a mixture of isomeric products that require a complicated separation process. Here, we introduce a phenylene-bridged bis(pyrrolidino)fullerene, Bis-PC, which forms only a single isomer due to geometrical restriction. When used in a tin perovskite solar cell with a PEAFASnI (PEA: phenylethylammonium and FA: formamidinium) light absorption layer, the resulting open-circuit voltage ( ) was 0.

We report the synthesis of ethylammonium lead iodide (EAPbI) colloidal nanocrystals as another member of the lead halide perovskites family. The insertion of an unusually large -cation (274 pm in diameter) in the perovskite structure, hitherto considered unlikely due to the unfavorable Goldschmidt tolerance factor, results in a significantly larger lattice parameter compared to the Cs-, methylammonium- and formamidinium-based lead halide perovskite homologues. As a consequence, EAPbI nanocrystals are highly unstable, evolving to a nonperovskite δ-EAPbI polymorph within 1 day.

3D mixed perovskites have achieved substantial success in boosting solar cell efficiency, but the complicated perovskite crystal formation pathway remains mysterious. Here we present detailed crystallization kinetics of mixed perovskites FAMAPb(IBr), where FA is formamidinium and MA is methylammonium, with the addition of Cs to form a triple cation perovskite (3-CAT), in a comparison with the perovskite building block MAPbI (MAPI) via static grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) and micro-diffraction measurements. Spin-coated films produced α-perovskite peaks with no PbI or δ-intermediate phases, which was a promising result for the 3-CAT perovskite from micro-diffraction measurements.

Hybrid halide perovskites form a promising class of light-absorbing materials. Among the numerous 3D semiconducting perovskites, there is a group of emerging aziridinium-based hybrids that are considered to be prospective materials for optoelectronic applications. In this work, we report the mixed halide aziridinium perovskites of (AzrH)PbBrxI3-x series (AzrH = aziridinium).

Article Synopsis
  • The deprotonation of methylammonium chloride negatively affects the performance of formamidinium-based perovskite in inverted solar cells, impacting efficiency and stability.
  • A new additive, methyl carbamimidothioate hydroiodide (MCH), enhances perovskite formation by creating a guanylation reaction that produces methyl-substituted guanidine (MSG), leading to improved crystal growth and stability in the perovskite structure.
  • MCH-treated solar cells demonstrated impressive power conversion efficiencies of up to 26.81%, with excellent stability, maintaining over 91% of their initial efficiencies after extensive aging tests.
