Abstract
Understanding of the structural properties of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) and their behavior is crucial for their use as photovoltaics and for the design and assembly of solar cells. As part of this work, a detailed study was conducted to further understand bismuth iodide perovskites, with a specific focus on the phase transitions of methylammonium and formamidinium analogs. A detailed analysis of the temperature-dependent IR spectra was also performed in order to analyze the structural changes that occur. The presence of five phases in the methylammonium bismuth iodide (MABiI) and four phases in formamidinium bismuth iodide (FABiI) were determined. An additional confirmation of the reported results was obtained from the differential scanning calorimetry. The ambiguities concerning the crystal structure of FABiI were resolved based on the results by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD).
