Sensitivity-Enhanced 207Pb Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy for the Rapid, Non-Destructive Characterization of Organolead Halide Perovskites
Abstract
Here, organolead halide and mixed halide perovskites (CH 3NH 3PbX 3, CH 3NH 3PbX 3–nY n, X and Y = Cl –, Br –, or I –) are promising materials for photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices. 207Pb solid-state NMR spectroscopy has previously been applied to characterize phase segregation and halide ion speciation in mixed halide perovskites. However, NMR spectroscopy is an insensitive technique that often requires large sample volumes and long signal averaging periods. This is especially true for mixed halide perovskites, which give rise to extremely broad 207Pb solid-state NMR spectra. Here, we quantitatively compare the sensitivity of the various solid-state NMR techniques on pure and mixed halide organolead perovskites and demonstrate that both fast MAS and DNP can provide substantial gains in NMR sensitivity for these materials. With fast MAS and proton detection, high signal-to-noise ratio two-dimensional (2D) 207Pb– 1H heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) NMR spectra can be acquired in less than half an hour from only ca. 4 μL of perovskite material. Modest relayed DNP enhancements on the order of 1 to 20 were obtained for perovskites. The cryogenic temperatures (110 K) used for DNP experiments also provide a significant boost in sensitivity. Consequently, it was possible to obtainmore »

This result demonstrates the possibility of using NMR spectroscopy for characterization of perovskite thin films.},
