Abstract

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are currently an active research topic in the field of energy and next-generation electronics. Their selectable organic and inorganic components provide infinite possibilities for designing functional materials with multiple applications. Herein, we present a new one-dimensional BaNiO3-like organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (thiazolidinium)CdBr3 (1), which displays a phase transition at 263 K and a switchable second harmonic generation (SHG) response. Intriguingly, 1 shows a pyroelectric coefficient pe of ∼0.6 μC·cm-2·K-1 and a piezoelectric output voltage of ∼2.0 V for our fabricated piezoelectric generation device, indicating its great potential for pyroelectric sensors, self-powered low-voltage electronic devices, and energy harvesters. Moreover, the presence of a specific thioether donor enables 1 to appropriately adsorb Pd(II) ions, which can be monitored by the corresponding change in phase transition behavior, SHG signal, and pyroelectric response. This work provides a new insight to develop new multifunctional materials, demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites to realize future self-powered low-voltage devices and energy harvesters.
