Organometal halide perovskites are attracting a great deal of attention because of their long carrier diffusion lengths, wide wavelength tunability, and narrow-band emission.
In this study, lead‐free perovskite CsSn(IxBr1−x)3 films with photoluminescence emission wavelengths from 677 to 887 nm are prepared. The influence of air exposure on their characteristics is also investigated. It is found that CsSnI3 can be transformed to Cs2SnI6 upon increasing the air exposure time. The decomposition and oxidation mechanisms are confirmed by the X‐ray diffraction pattern due to the presence of CsI peak. It is observed that devices based on the CsSn(IxBr1−x)3 film with increased Br− ratio and the CsSnI3 film with prolonged air exposure time show inferior performance. These results are mainly attributed to the highest occupied molecular orbital levels of CsSn(IxBr1−x)3 and Cs2SnI6. Defect density of state and binding energy of these materials are also investigated and reported in this study.
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.
