Metal thiocyanate hybrid perovskites can have multiple simultaneous complex orderings and combining these orderings appropriately can produce non-centrosymmetric structures.
The mixing of [V 10 O 28 ] 6À decavanadate anions with a dicationic gemini surfactant (gem) leads to the spontaneous self-assembly of surfactant-templated nanostructured arrays of decavanadate clusters. Calcination of the material under air yields highly crystalline, sponge-like V 2 O 5 (gem-V 2 O 5 ). In contrast, calcination of the amorphous tetrabutylammonium decavanadate allows isolation of a more agglomerated V 2 O 5 consisting of very small crystallites (TBA-V 2 O 5 ). Electrochemical analysis of the materials' performance as lithium-ion intercalation electrodes highlights the role of morphology in cathode performance. The large crystallites and long-range microstructure of the gem-V 2 O 5 cathode deliver higher initial capacity and superior capacity retention than TBA-V 2 O 5 . The smaller crystallite size and higher surface area of TBA-V 2 O 5 allow faster lithium insertion and superior rate performance to gem-V 2 O 5 .

AMX3 compounds are structurally diverse, a notable example being the post-perovskite structure which adopts a two-dimensional framework with corner- and edge-sharing octahedra. Few molecular post-perovskites are known and of these,...
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.
