Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) has been widely investigated in near-infrared (NIR) photodetection and X-ray detection due to its superior optoelectronic properties. However, the preparation of high-quality MAPbI3 crystals remains...
Significantly slow hot-carrier-cooling happens in a multiphase quasi two-dimensional (2D) perovskite film of (BA) 2 (FA) n−1 Pb n I 3n+1 , where BA is butylammonium, FA is formamidinium, and n = 3 nominally. Due to this phenomenon, a linearly polarized multi-peak emission from phases of n = 2, 3, and 4 emerges and the ever-present one from n = ∞ phase blueshifts in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra, excited using a nanosecond pulsed laser with increasing excitation intensities. Furthermore, hot-carrier PL from small n materials also emerges using a continuous wave laser with an intensity of ∼100 mW/cm 2 ; consequently, the abnormal enhancement of the open-circuit voltage through hot-carrier extraction above 300 mW/cm 2 is achieved. Our work may prove that the FA-based 2D perovskite gives a direction to fabricating hot-carrier solar cells that potentially boost the power conversion efficiency.
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.
