Abstract

Herein, we report a novel layered lead bromide, (CH3CH2)3N+Br−(CH2)2NH3+)PbBr3, where bulky organic cations, (CH3CH2)3N+Br−(CH2)2NH3+), amino-ethyl triethyl ammonium [aetriea] were not only incorporated between the inorganic layers but also sandwiched within the inorganic [PbBr6]4− octahedral layered structure. The UV-Visible, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) result show that the new perovskitoid has a microrod shape with an estimated bandgap of ~3.05 eV. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the [aetriea]PbBr3 perovskitoid were further corroborated by first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data show good stability of the [aetriea]PbBr3 perovskitoid. Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) decays from new [aetriea]PbBr3perovskitoid showing 6 ns average lifetime. These results suggest that doubly charged cation hybrid perovskite materials are potential candidates for optoelectronic applications.
