Abstract
Lead-free hybrid double perovskite iodides (HDPIs) have piqued increasing research interest due to their environmental friendliness and high stability. However, such antimony-based HDPIs with strong photocurrent response are currently very limited. Here, we successfully design and construct five Ag(I)-Sb(III)-based HDPIs using two types of cyclic aliphatic amines as A-site templates. Interestingly, these Ag(I)-Sb(III) HDPIs exhibit relatively narrow band gaps, preferred orientation, and high stability after being processed into thin films on the indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. Notably, under illuminations of a xenon lamp, all HDPIs exhibit considerable photocurrent responses, reaching a maximum difference of 17 μA·cm-2 for ASI 1, which is the highest among lead-free halogen-based organic-inorganic hybrid compounds to date. Combining the considerable photocurrents and the high stability, the optoelectronic applications of two-dimensional Ag(I)-Sb(III) HDPIs can be expected.
