先前的理论计算表明，氮杂环丁烷鎓具有正确的径向尺寸以与卤化铅形成3D钙钛矿[1]，并且已被证明作为ABX 3单元的A位阳离子赋予铁电钙钛矿有益的性质[2]。然而，迄今为止，对其作为卤化铅钙钛矿中的阳离子的用途的研究非常有限。在这篇通讯中，我们报告了氮杂环丁烷基铅混合卤化物钙钛矿胶体纳米晶体的合成和表征。混合卤化物体系是碘和氯，不像文献中其他报道的纳米晶体，其中卤化物体系是碘/溴或溴/氯。紫外-可见吸收数据，补充与光致发光光谱，揭示了一个间接的带隙约1.96 eV的纳米晶体。使用TEM的结构表征示出了两个不同的原子间距离（2.98 +/-0.15埃和3.43 +/-0.16埃）和纳米晶体固有的非正交晶格角（约112度），其具有通过XRD揭示的可能的三斜晶系结构。通过EDS光谱法证实了纳米晶体内氯和碘的存在。最后，光诱导电子顺磁共振（LEPR）光谱与PCBM证实了光致电荷转移能力的纳米晶体。使用氮杂环丁烷鎓作为阳离子形成这种半导体铅混合卤化物钙钛矿表明了具有光电应用（例如太阳能电池和光电探测器）潜力的混合钙钛矿的有前景的子类。
Previous theoretical calculations show azetidinium has the right radial size to form a 3D perovskite with lead halides [1], and has been shown to impart, as the A-site cation of ABX3 unit, beneficial properties to ferroelectric perovskites [2]. However, there has been very limited research into its use as the cation in lead halide perovskites to date. In this communication we report the synthesis and characterization of azetidinium-based lead mixed halide perovskite colloidal nanocrystals. The mixed halide system is iodine and chlorine unlike other reported nanocrystals in the literature where the halide systems are either iodine/bromine or bromine/chlorine. UV-visible absorbance data, complemented with photoluminescence spectroscopy, reveals an indirect-bandgap of about 1.96 eV for our nanocrystals. Structural characterization using TEM shows two distinct interatomic distances (2.98 +/- 0.15 Angstroms and 3.43 +/- 0.16 Angstroms) and non-orthogonal lattice angles (approximately 112 degrees) intrinsic to the nanocrystals with a probable triclinic structure revealed by XRD. The presence of chlorine and iodine within the nanocrystals is confirmed by EDS spectroscopy. Finally, light-induced electron paramagnetic resonance (LEPR) spectroscopy with PCBM confirms the photoinduced charge transfer capabilities of the nanocrystals. The formation of such semiconducting lead mixed halide perovskite using azetidinium as the cation suggests a promising subclass of hybrid perovskites holding potential for optoelectronic applications such as in solar cells and photodetectors.
