Adsorption of light metal atoms like Be on a borophene nanosheet can stabilize the sheet structurally and electronically, leading to a graphene like planar honeycomb structure.
The affinity of chloride/iodide ions to replace the lattice sites of bromide ions in the CsPbBr3 nanocrystals by anion exchange reactions is investigated. In the presence of an equal number of iodide and chloride ions, the absorption and emission of lead halide perovskites are found to be red‐shifted as a result of the preferential anion exchange with the iodide ions. In order to initiate the anion exchange reactions with the chloride ions from a mixture of chloride and iodide ions, a minimum of 66 % of chloride ions, is essential to observe a significant change. The differential affinity of chloride/iodide ions to substitute bromide ions in CsPbBr3 perovskite is also substantiated using density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Understanding the interactions in the crystal structure of lead halide perovskites can give directions to tune the material properties in the nanoscale for various applications in science and technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
