ABSTRACT: Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have various potential applications in fuel cells and solar cells. In this regard, the physicochemical properties of an organic–inorganic [NH3(CH2)6NH3]CuCl4 crystal was conducted. The crystals had a monoclinic structure with space group P21/n and lattice constants a = 7.2224 Å, b = 7.6112 Å, c = 23.3315 Å, β = 91.930°, and Z = 4 at 300 K, and the phase transition temperature (TC) was determined to be 363 K by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry experiments. From the nuclear magnetic resonance experimental results, the changes in the 1H chemical shifts in NH3 and the influence of C1 located close to NH3 in the [NH3(CH2)6NH3] cation near TC are determined to be large, which implies that the structural change of CuCl4 linked to N–H⋯Cl is large. The 1H spin–lattice relaxation time (T1ρ) in NH3 is shorter than that of CH2, and the 13C T1ρ values for C1 close to NH3 are shorter than those of C2 and C3 due to the influence of the paramagnetic Cu2+ ion in square planar geometry CuCl4. The structural mechanism for the phase transition was the change in the N–H⋯Cl hydrogen bond and was associated with the structural dynamics of the CuCl4 anion.

Structural characterization, thermal properties, and molecular motions near the phase transition in hybrid perovskite [(CH2)3(NH3)2]CuCl4 crystals: 1H, 13C, and 14N nuclear magnetic resonance.

Project description:The structural characterization of the [(CH2]3(NH3)2]+ cation in the perovskite [(CH2)3(NH3)2]CuCl4 crystal was performed by solid-state 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The 1H NMR chemical shifts for NH3 changed more significantly with temperature than those for CH2. This change in cationic motion is enhanced at the N-end of the organic cation, which is fixed to the inorganic layer by N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds. The 13C chemical shifts for CH2-1 increase slowly without any anomalous change, while those for CH2-2 move abruptly compared to CH2-1 with increasing temperature. The four peaks of two groups in the 14N NMR spectra, indicating the presence of a ferroelastic multidomain, were reduced to two peaks of one group near TC2 (= 333 K); the 14N NMR data clearly indicated changes in atomic configuration at this temperature. In addition, 1H and 13C spin-lattice have shorter relaxation times (T1ρ), in the order of milliseconds because T1ρ is inversely proportional to the square of the magnetic moment of paramagnetic ions. The T1ρ values for CH2 and NH3 protons were almost independent of temperature, but the CH2 moiety located in the middle of the N-C-C-C-N bond undergoes tumbling motion according to the Bloembergen-Purcell-Pound theory. Ferroelasticity is the main cause for the phase transition near TC2.

Crystal growth, phase transition, and nuclear magnetic resonance of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite NH2(CH3)2CdCl3.

Project description:Understanding the physicochemical properties of organic-inorganic hybrid materials is essential to promote their applications. In this study, a single crystal of NH2(CH3)2CdCl3 was grown, and it exhibited a monoclinic structure. Its phase transition temperatures were 460 and 470 K, and it showed sufficient thermal stability. The changes in the NMR chemical shifts of each atom in the crystal with increasing temperature were determined; the chemical shift of 1H of NH2 in the NH2(CH3)2 cation changed with temperature, which was correlated to the changes in the chemical shift of 14N in NH2. The change in 113Cd chemical shifts indicate the change of six Cl atoms around Cd in CdCl6. Therefore, the change in the coordination geometry of CdCl6 is attributed to the change in the N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond between the NH2(CH3)2 cation and CdCl6 anion. In addition, the 13C activation energies Ea obtained from the spin-lattice relaxation time T1ρ values are smaller than those of the 1H Ea values, suggesting that is free compared to 1H in the cation. We believe that this study furthers our fundamental understanding of organic-inorganic hybrid materials to promote their practical solar cell applications.

Significant THz absorption in CH3NH2 molecular defect-incorporated organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite thin film.

Project description:The valid strong THz absorption at 1.58 THz was probed in the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite thin film, CH3NH3PbI3, fabricated by sequential vacuum evaporation method. In usual solution-based methods such as 2-step solution and antisolvent, we observed the relatively weak two main absorption peaks at 0.95 and 1.87 THz. The measured absorption spectrum is analyzed by density-functional theory calculations. The modes at 0.95 and 1.87 THz are assigned to the Pb-I vibrations of the inorganic components in the tetragonal phase. By contrast, the origin of the 1.58 THz absorption is due to the structural deformation of Pb-I bonding at the grain boundary incorporated with a CH3NH2 molecular defect.

Advances in physicochemical characterization of lead-free hybrid perovskite [NH3(CH2)3NH3]CuBr4 crystals.

Project description:To support the development of eco-friendly hybrid perovskite solar cells, structural, thermal, and physical properties of the lead-free hybrid perovskite [NH3(CH2)3NH3]CuBr4 were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The crystal structure confirmed by XRD was monoclinic, and thermodynamic stability was observed at approximately 500 K without any phase transition. The large changes in the 1H chemical shifts of NH3 and those in C2 close to N are affected by N-H∙∙∙Br hydrogen bonds because the structural geometry of CuBr4 changed significantly. The 1H and 13C spin-lattice relaxation times (T1ρ) showed very similar molecular motions according to the Bloembergen-Purcell-Pound theory at low temperatures; however, the 1H T1ρ values representing energy transfer were about 10 times lesser than those of 13C T1ρ. Finally, the 1H and 13C T1ρ values of [NH3(CH2)3NH3]MeBr4 (Me = Cu, Zn, and Cd) were compared with those reported previously. 1H T1ρ was affected by the paramagnetic ion of the anion, while 13C T1ρ was affected by the MeBr4 structure of the anion; 13C T1ρ values in Me = Cu and Cd with the octahedral MeBr6 structure had longer values than those in Me = Zn with the tetrahedral MeBr4 structure. We believe that these detailed insights on the physical properties will play a crucial role in the development of eco-friendly hybrid perovskite solar cells.

Processing on crystal growth, structure, thermal property, and nuclear magnetic resonance of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite type [NH3(CH2)6NH3]ZnCl4 crystal.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid compounds have recently gained significant attention in recent years due to their diverse applications. Herein, [NH3(CH2)6NH3]ZnCl4 crystals were grown, and their triclinic structure, phase transition temperature (TC = 408 K), and high thermal stability (Td = 584 K) was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry measurements. By analyzing the chemical in response to temperature changes, we observed that the coordination geometry around 1H and 13C were highly symmetric below TC, whereas their symmetry was lowered above TC. The change of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond from XRD results and the change of 14N NMR chemical shifts was due to the changes to the coordination geometry of Cl- around Zn2+ in the ZnCl4 anion. The activation energy of 1H was three times greater than that of 13C, and this result indicates that the energy transfer of 13C was easier than those of 1H. We compared the results for [NH3(CH2)nNH3]ZnCl4 (n = 6) studied here with those for n = 2, 3, 4, and 5 obtained from previous studies. The characteristics of the length of CH2 in the methylene chain are expected to be used for potential applications in the near future.

Hybrid Chlorides with Methylhydrazinium Cation: [CH3NH2NH2]CdCl3 and Jahn-Teller Distorted [CH3NH2NH2]CuCl3.

Project description:The synthesis, structural, phonon, optical, and magnetic properties of two hybrid organic-inorganic chlorides with monoprotonated methylhydrazinium cations (CH3NH2NH2+, MHy+), [CH3NH2NH2]CdCl3 (MHyCdCl3), and [CH3NH2NH2]CuCl3 (MHyCuCl3), are reported. In contrast to previously reported MHyMIICl3 (MII = Mn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+) analogues, neither compound undergoes phase transitions. The MHyCuCl3 has a crystal structure familiar to previous crystals composed of edge-shared 1D chains of the [CuCl5N] octahedra. MHyCuCl3 crystallizes in monoclinic P21/c symmetry with MHy+ cations directly linked to the Cu2+ ions. The MHyCdCl3 analogue crystallizes in lower triclinic symmetry with zig-zag chains of the edge-shared [CdCl6] octahedra. The absence of phase transitions is investigated and discussed. It is connected with slightly stronger hydrogen bonding between cations and the copper-chloride chains in MHyCuCl3 due to the strong Jahn-Teller effect causing the octahedra to elongate, resulting in a better fit of cations in the accessible space between chains. The absence of structural transformation in MHyCdCl3 is due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding between two neighboring MHy+ cations, which has never been reported for MHy+-based hybrid halides. Optical investigations revealed that the bandgaps in Cu2+ and Cd2+ analogues are 2.62 and 5.57 eV, respectively. Magnetic tests indicated that MHyCuCl3 has smeared antiferromagnetic ordering at 4.8 K.

Physicochemical properties and structural dynamics of organic-inorganic hybrid [NH3(CH2)3NH3]ZnX4 (X = Cl and Br) crystals.

Project description:The physical properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid crystals having the formula [NH3(CH2)3NH3]ZnX4 (X = Cl, Br) were investigated. The phase transition temperatures (TC; 268K for Cl and 272K for Br) of the two crystals bearing different halogen atoms in their skeletons were determined through differential scanning calorimetry. The thermodynamic properties of the two crystals were investigated through thermogravimetric analysis. The structural dynamics, particularly the role of the [NH3(CH2)3NH3] cation, were probed through 1H and 13C magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a function of temperature. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts did not show any changes near TC. In addition, the 1H spin-lattice relaxation time (T1ρ) varied with temperature, whereas the 13C T1ρ values remained nearly constant at different temperatures. The T1ρ values of the atoms in [NH3(CH2)3NH3]ZnCl4 were higher than those in [NH3(CH2)3NH3]ZnBr4. The observed differences in the structural dynamics obtained from the chemical shifts and T1ρ values of the two compounds can be attributed to the differences in the bond lengths and halogen atoms. These findings can provide important insights or potential applications of these crystals.

Organic-inorganic hybrid [NH3(CH2)6NH3]ZnBr4 crystal: structural characterization, phase transitions, thermal properties, and structural dynamics.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid [NH3(CH2)6NH3]ZnBr4 crystals were prepared by slow evaporation; the crystals had a monoclinic structure with space group P21/c and lattice constants a = 7.7833 Å, b = 14.5312 Å, c = 13.2396 Å, β = 90.8650°, and Z = 4. They underwent two phase transitions, at 370 K (T C1) and 430 K (T C2), as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction patterns at various temperatures; the crystals were stable up to 600 K. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, obtained using the magic-angle spinning method, demonstrated changes in the 1H and 13C chemical shifts were observed near T C1, indicating changing structural environments around 1H and 13C. The spin-lattice relaxation time, T 1ρ, increased rapidly near T C1 suggesting very large energy transfer, as indicated by a large thermal displacement around the 13C atoms of the cation. However, the environments of 1H, 14N, and C1 located close to NH3 in the [NH3(CH2)6NH3] cation did not influence it significantly, indicating a minor change in the N-H⋯Br hydrogen bond with the coordination geometry of the ZnBr4 anion. We believe that the information on the physiochemical properties and thermal stability of [NH3(CH2)6NH3]ZnBr4, as discussed in this study, would be key to exploring its application in stable, environment friendly solar cells.

Investigation on the organic-inorganic hybrid crystal [NH2(CH3)2]2CuBr4: structure, phase transition, thermal property, structural geometry, and dynamics.

Project description:Understanding the physical properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid [NH2(CH3)2]2CuBr4 is essential to expand its applications. The single [NH2(CH3)2]2CuBr4 crystals were grown and their comprehensive properties were investigated. The crystals had a monoclinic structure with the space group P21/n and lattice constants of a = 8.8651 (5) Å, b = 11.9938 (6) Å, c = 13.3559 (7) Å, and β = 91.322°. The transition temperature from phase I to phase II was determined to be 388 K. Variations in the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of NH2 and 14N NMR chemical shifts according to the temperature changes in the cation were attributed to vibrations of NH2 groups at their localization sites. The 1H and 13C spin-lattice relaxation times (T1ρ) in phase II changed significantly with temperature, indicating that these values are governed by molecular motion. The T1ρ values were much longer in phase I than in phase II, which means energy transfer was difficult. Finally, the activation energies for phases I and II were considered. According to the basic mechanism of [NH2(CH3)2]2CuBr4 crystals, organic-inorganic materials may have potential applications in various fields.

The crucial role of density functional nonlocality and on-axis CH3NH3 rotation induced I2 formation in hybrid organic-inorganic CH3NH3PbI3 cubic perovskite.

Project description:Effects of electronic nonlocality in density functional theory study of structural and energetic properties of a pseudocubic CH3NH3PbI3 are investigated by considering coherent rotation around C-N axis of a CH3NH3 cation. A number of truly non-local and semi-local exchange correlation density functionals are examined by comparing calculated structural parameters with experimental results. The vdW-DF-cx which takes into account the non-local van der Waals correlation and consistent exchange shows the best overall performance for density functional theory study of this system. Remarkable distinctions between results from vdW-DF-cx and those from PBEsol exchange correlation functionals are observed and indicate the need of including the non-local interaction in the study of this system, especially its dynamical properties. The obtained rotational barriers are 18.56 meV/formula and 27.71 meV/formula which correspond to rotational frequencies of 3.71 THz and 2.60 THz for vdW-DF-cx and PBEsol calculations, respectively. Interestingly, the maximally localised Wannier function analysis shows the hydrogen bonding assisted covalent character of two iodide anions at a moderate rotational angle which can lead to I2 formation and then material degradation.
