Abstract

The excellent intrinsic optoelectronic properties of methylammonium lead halide perovskites (MAPbX₃, X = Br, I), such as high photoluminescence quantum efficiency, long carrier lifetime, and high gain coupled with the facile solution growth of nanowires make them promising new materials for ultralow-threshold nanowire lasers. However, their photo and thermal stabilities need to be improved for practical applications. Herein, we report a low-temperature solution growth of single crystal nanowires of formamidinium lead halide perovskites (FAPbX₃) that feature red-shifted emission and better thermal stability compared to MAPbX₃. We demonstrate optically pumped room-temperature near-infrared (~820 nm) and green lasing (~560 nm) from FAPbI₃ (and MABr-stabilized FAPbI₃) and FAPbBr₃ nanowires with low lasing thresholds of several microjoules per square centimeter and high quality factors of about 1500–2300. More remarkably, the FAPbI₃ and MABr-stabilized FAPbI₃ nanowires display durable room-temperature lasing under ~10⁸ shots of sustained illumination of 402 nm pulsed laser excitation (150 fs, 250 kHz), substantially exceeding the stability of MAPbI₃ (~10⁷ laser shots). We further demonstrate tunable nanowire lasers in wider wavelength region from FA-based lead halide perovskite alloys (FA,MA)PbI₃ and (FA,MA)Pb(I,Br)₃ through cation and anion substitutions. The results suggest that formamidinium lead halide perovskite nanostructures could be more promising and stable materialsmore »« less

Crystal Structure Evolution and Notable Thermal Expansion in Hybrid Perovskites Formamidinium Tin Iodide and Formamidinium Lead Bromide

Journal Article Schueller, Emily C. ; Laurita, Geneva ; Fabini, Douglas H. ; ... - Inorganic Chemistry

The temperature-dependent structure evolution of the hybrid halide perovskite compounds, formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI₃, FA⁺ = CH[NH₂]₂⁺) and formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr₃), has been monitored using high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction between 300 and 100 K.

Tunable Broad Light Emission from 3D “Hollow” Bromide Perovskites through Defect Engineering

Journal Article Spanopoulos, Ioannis ; Hadar, Ido ; Ke, Weijun ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

We report hybrid halide perovskites consisting of corner-sharing metal halide octahedra and small cuboctahedral cages filled with counter cations have proven to be prominent candidates for many high-performance optoelectronic devices. The stability limits of their three-dimensional perovskite framework are defined by the size range of the cations present in the cages of the structure. In some cases, the stability of the perovskite-type structure can be extended even when the counterions violate the size and shape requirements, as is the case in the so-called "hollow" perovskites. In this work, we engineered a new family of 3D highly defective yet crystalline "hollow"more »« less

Stabilization of the Metastable Lead Iodide Perovskite Phase via Surface Functionalization

Journal Article Fu, Yongping ; Wu, Tao ; Wang, Jue ; ... - Nano Letters

Metastable structural polymorphs can have superior properties and applications to their thermodynamically stable phases, but the rational synthesis of metastable phases is a challenge. Here in this paper, a new strategy for stabilizing metastable phases using surface functionalization is demonstrated using the example of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI₃) perovskite, which is metastable at room temperature (RT) but holds great promises in solar and light-emitting applications. We show that, through surface ligand functionalization during direct solution growth at RT, pure FAPbI₃ in the cubic perovskite phase can be stabilized in nanostructures and thin films at RT without cation or anion alloying.more »« less

Triiodide Attacks the Organic Cation in Hybrid Lead Halide Perovskites: Mechanism and Suppression

Journal Article Hu, Junnan ; Xu, Zhaojian ; Murrey, Tucker L. ; ... - Advanced Materials

Abstract Molecular I ₂ can be produced from iodide‐based lead perovskites under thermal stress; triiodide, I ₃ ⁻ , is formed from this I ₂ and I ⁻ . Triiodide attacks protic cation MA ⁺ ‐ or FA ⁺ ‐based lead halide perovskites (MA ⁺ , methylammonium; FA ⁺ , formamidinium) as explicated through solution‐based nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies: triiodide has strong hydrogen‐bonding affinity for MA ⁺ or FA ⁺ , which leads to their deprotonation and perovskite decomposition. Triiodide is a catalyst for this decomposition that can be obviated through perovskite surface treatment with thiol reducing agents. Inmore »« less

Universal Dynamics of Molecular Reorientation in Hybrid Lead Iodide Perovskites

Journal Article Fabini, Douglas H. ; Siaw, Ting Ann ; Stoumpos, Constantinos C. ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

The role of organic molecular cations in the high-performance perovskite photovoltaic absorbers, methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃) and formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI₃), has been an enigmatic subject of great interest. Beyond aiding in the ease of processing of thin films for photovoltaic devices, there have been suggestions that many of the remarkable properties of the halide perovskites can be attributed to the dipolar nature and the dynamic behavior of these cations. Herein, we determine the dynamics of the molecular cations in FAPbI₃ between 4 K and 340 K and the nature of their interaction with the surrounding inorganic cage using amore »« less
