Article Abstract

Changing the capping ligands of CdS nanocrystals during their synthesis controls the optical properties of these nanocrystals. Addition of a little amount of CdCl:Phosphonic Acid (PA) completely eliminates the surface state emission with an increase in quantum yield of band edge emission from these nanocrystals. The role of halide ions in surface passivation along with the structural dependance of these nanocrystals on surface states has also been studied. These as prepared nanocrystals are uniform as well as monodispersed and their size can be tuned by varying the reaction time. These nanocrystals have been well characterized using a combination of optical and structural techniques.

Sequential deposition technique is widely used to fabricate perovskite films with large grain size in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Residual lead halide (PbI) in the perovskite film tends to be decomposed into metallic lead (Pb) under long-term heating or light soaking. Here, a chiral levetiracetam (LEV) dopant containing α-amide and pyrrolidone groups is introduced into the PbI precursor solution.

Inorganic halide perovskites have been the subject of intensive research for their unique properties. Most current research focuses on halide ion exchange to modify the luminescence band gap and optical features. They are obtained mainly in colloids or thin layers, resulting in small grains with a narrow distribution.

Phase segregation remains one of the most critical challenges limiting the performance and long-term operational stability of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This issue is especially pronounced in 1.84 eV wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites, where severe halide phase segregation leads to compositional heterogeneity and accelerated device degradation.

Organic-inorganic hybrid thiocyanates include a variety of compositions and structure types. To develop a better understanding of the interactions that control the crystal structure in this family of materials, six hybrid thiocyanate halide compounds with the general formula ACd(SCN)X (A = CHNH, CHCHNH, CH(CH)NH, CH(CH)NH; X = Cl, Br) have been synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that five of the six compounds crystallize with triclinic 1̅ symmetry, the lone exception being (CH(CH)NH)Cd(SCN)Cl which adopts 2/ symmetry.
