Inter-Domain Charge Transfer as a Rationale for Superior Photovoltaic Performances of Mixed Halide Lead Perovskites

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Fabrizio Giordano, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban, Eric Vauthey

Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites containing a mixture of iodide and bromide anions consistently perform better in donor-acceptor heterojunction solar cells than the standard methylammonium lead triiodide material. This observation is counterintuit ...

Charge migration and charge transfer in molecular systems

Majed Chergui, Ursula Röthlisberger, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Andrea Cannizzo, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Joël Teuscher, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Pablo Lopez Tarifa, Elisa Liberatore

The transfer of charge at the molecular level plays a fundamental role in many areas of chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. Today, more than 60 years after the seminal work of R. A. Marcus, charge transfer is still a very active field of res ...
