A leading star in photocatalysis has been revealed as lead-free Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) double halide perovskite nanocrystals, owing to its strong visible light absorption and tunable band gap. In this work, this photocatalytic process was facilitated by a unique TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) composite, which was identified as an S-cheme heterojunction. TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) composite was investigated for its structure and photocatalytic behavior. The results showed that when the perovskite dosage is 40%, the photocatalytic rate of TiO_(2) could be boosted to 0.1369 min^(-1). This paper discusses and proposes the band gap matching, carrier separation, and photocatalytic mechanism of TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) composites, which will facilitate the generation of new ideas for improving TiO_(2)’s photocatalytic performance.展开更多

Divalent Sn(II) in CsSnX3 perovskites is easily oxidized to tetravalent Sn(IV), and the resulted Cs2SnCl6 vacancy-ordered perovskite variant exhibits poor photoluminescence property although it has a direct band gap. Controllable doping is an effective strategy to regulate the optical properties of Cs2SnX6. Herein, combining the first principles calculation and spectral analysis, we attempted to understand the luminescence mechanism of Te4+-doped Cs2SnCl6 lead-free perovskite variants. The chemical potential and defect formation energy are calculated to confirm theoretically the feasible substitutability of tetravalent Te4+ ions in Cs2SnCl6 lattices for the Sn-site. Through analysis of the absorption, emission/excitation, and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, the intense green-yellow emission in Te4+:Cs2SnCl6 was considered to originate from the triplet Te(IV) ion 3P1→1S0 STE recombination. Temperature-dependent PL spectra demonstrated the strong electron-phonon coupling that inducing an evident lattice distortion to produce STEs. We further calculated the electronic band structure and molecular orbital levels to reveal the underlying photophysical process. These results will shed light on the doping modulated luminescence properties in stable lead-free Cs2MX6 vacancy-ordered perovskite variants and be helpful to understand the optical properties and physical processes of doped perovskite variants.展开更多

文摘无铅双钙钛矿由于具有较好的稳定性和无毒的特点吸引了很多学者的目光,有希望成为下一代光伏和光电子材料.然而,目前其光电器件性能并不理想.我们报道了一个简单的溶液法用于制备无机双钙钛矿Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)和MA_(2)AgBiBr_(6)微米片.与传统的溶液旋涂法相比,这种方法得到的Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)和MA_(2)Ag Bi Br_(6)微米片具有很好的结晶性.将它们做成光电探测器后,其响应度达到了245 mA W^(-1),比旋涂法制备的器件高出两个量级,且响应时间为145μs.热稳定性研究表明,将Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6)器件在空气中加热到160℃再回到室温,其光电响应并没有受到影响.这些结果表明,溶液法制备无铅双钙钛矿具有更广阔的应用前景.
