چکیده

CH3NH3PbI3 was found to exhibit inverse solubility at high temperatures in γ-butyrolactone. Making use of this unusual, so far unreported phenomenon, we present a facile method for the growth of freestanding crystals of CH3NH3PbI3 from solution without addition of any capping agents or seed particles. Large, strongly faceted crystals could be grown within minutes. This finding may aid in understanding the crystallization process of CH3NH3PbI3 from solution that may lead to improved morphological control of film deposition for a range of device architectures. Our process offers a facile and rapid route to freestanding crystals for use in a broad range of characterization techniques.

Nonstoichiometric acid–base reaction as reliable synthetic route to highly stable CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite film

Perovskite solar cells have received worldwide interests due to swiftly improved efficiency but the poor stability of the perovskite component hampers the device fabrication under normal condition. Herein, we develop a reliable nonstoichiometric acid-base reaction route to stable perovskite films by intermediate chemistry and technology. Perovskite thin-film prepared by nonstoichiometric acid-b...

Chemical decoration of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites with graphene oxides for photodetector applications.

A facile in situ solution method was developed for chemical decoration of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites with reduced graphene oxides (rGOs) to significantly improve the photodetector performance. Such CH3NH3PbI3/rGO molecular hybrids show a 6 times higher ON/OFF ratio and notably faster response speed than neat CH3NH3PbI3.

Inverse gas chromatographic measurement of solubility parameters in liquid crystalline systems.

Inverse gas chromatography, (IGC), has been used to measure interaction parameters in two low-molar-mass liquid crystals and a polymer substituted with the same mesogenic group. Solubility parameters have been calculated. The IGC method is shown to be applicable to this class of compounds and to give meaningful values over a range of temperatures.
