The synthesized 1D-perovskite-type (C6H7NBr)3[CdBr5] shows a broad-band white light emission with an extra-high CRI of 98 and chromaticity coordinates (0.30, 0.32).
Lead halide perovskites are attractive pigments to fabricate solar cells in the laboratory owing to their high power conversion efficiency. However, such materials also possess a high level of toxicity that is carcinogenic for humans and aquatic life due to the presence of Pb. Arguably, this hampers their acceptability for immediate commercialization. Here, we report the synthesis of twodimensional copper-based perovskite as an environmentally benign alternative to lead-based perovskites. We evaluated their optoelectronic properties and photovoltaic parameters. The (CH3NH3)2CuCl4-xBrx with X = 0.3 and 0.66 are derivatives of the stable MA2CuCl4. The single crystals and powders diffractograms suggest compositions with varying Cl/Br ratios and different bromine localization in the inorganic framework. We noted a narrow absorption for copper mixed halide perovskite with a bandgap from 2.85 − 2.65 eV related to the halide ratio variation (crystal color variation). Our findings demonstrate the impact of halide to optimize the stability of methyl-ammonium copper perovskite and provide an effective pathway to design eco-friendly perovskites for electrooptical application.
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.
