Anion exchange offers great flexibility and high precision in phase control, compositional engineering, and optoelectronic property tuning. Different from previous successful anion exchange process in liquid solution, herein, a vapor‐phase anion‐exchange strategy is developed to realize the precise phase and bandgap control of large‐scale inorganic perovskites by using gas injection cycle, producing some perovskites such as CsPbCl3 which has never been reported in thin film morphology. Ab initio calculations also provide the insightful mechanism to understand the impact of anion exchange on tuning the electronic properties and optimizing the structural stability. Furthermore, because of precise control of specific atomic concentrations, intriguing tunable photoluminescence is observed and photodetectors with tunable photoresponse edge from green to ultraviolet light can be realized accurately with an ultrahigh spectral resolution of 1 nm. Therefore, a new, universal vapor‐phase anion exchange method is offered for inorganic perovskite with fine‐tunable optoelectronic properties.
Distinguished from CsSnI3 perovskite systems, the most stable non-centrosymmetric trigonal structure (space group of R3m) of CsGeI3 perovskite system is found in our calculations. We systematically study the differences between...
Na2FePO4F, an iron‐based fluorophosphate with facile 2D sodium ion channels, is considered as a promising cathode material for sodium‐ion batteries because of low cost, resource abundance, and nontoxicity. However, its application is considerably restricted by the limited intrinsic electronic conductivity and specific capacity. Herein, a doping strategy represented by Cu2+ is proposed to boost the electrochemical performance, attributed to the derivation of a new active Na3 site originated from the inert Na1 site and the band gap reduction due to the d‐orbital hybridization. Consequently, the as‐obtained Na2Fe0.95Cu0.05PO4F/C composite can deliver an excellent rate capacity of 74 mAh g⁻1 at 20 C and a decent specific capacity of 119 mAh g⁻1 at 0.1 C, which is superior to the previously reported Na2FePO4F‐based cathode materials. This study sheds new light on developing high performance fluorophosphates cathode materials via regulating the Na site and electronic structure.
We theoretically investigated the structural and electronic properties of the all-inorganic perovskite CsSn1−xPbxBr3, compared with the mixed perovskite compound MAyCs1−ySn1−xPbxBr3, based on first-principle calculations.
