The Role of Alkyl Chain Length and Halide Counter Ion in Layered Dion−Jacobson Perovskites with Aromatic Spacers

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joachim Maier, Jovana Milic, Michael Allan Hope, George Cameron Fish, Algirdas Ducinskas, Loï Charles Carbone, Davide Moia

Layered hybrid perovskites based on Dion−Jacobson phases are of interest to various optoelectronic applications. However, the understanding of their structure−property relationships remains limited. Here, we present a systematic study of Dion−Jacobson pero ...

First-principles calculations of iodine-related point defects in CsPbI3

Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

We present here first principles hybrid functional calculations of the atomic and electronic structure of several iodine-related point defects in CsPbI3, a material relevant for photovoltaic applications. We show that the presence of neutral interstitial I ...

Thermochemical Stability of Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

This contribution discusses the chemical stability of methylammonium (MA) halide perovskites (MAPbI(3), MAPbBr(3), and MAPbCl(3)); it considers degradation processes relevant for devices (vs T, O-2, H2O, voltage, illumination) by outlining their thermodyna ...

Slow CH3NH3+ Diffusion in CH3NH3PbI3 under Light Measured by Solid-State NMR and Tracer Diffusion

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

We investigate methylammonium (MA) transport in MA lead iodide under illumination and show this, as in the dark, to be measurable but negligible when compared with the major carriers. H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra show constant line ...

The Nature of Ion Conduction in Methylammonium Lead Iodide: A Multimethod Approach

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

By applying a multitude of experimental techniques including H-1, N-14, Pb-207 NMR and I-127 NMR/NQR, tracer diffusion, reaction cell and doping experiments, as well as stoichiometric variation, conductivity, and polarization experiments, iodine ions are u ...

Hill climbing hysteresis of perovskite-based solar cells: a maximum power point tracking investigation

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Joachim Maier, Fabrizio Giordano, Norman Pellet

The surge of the power conversion efficiency of metal halide lead perovskite solar cells comes with concerns, such as the long-term ecotoxicity of lead compounds, their sensitivity toward moisture and oxygen, or the scarcity of some of their components. Mo ...
