Abstract
Toxicity induced by the presence of lead and the rather poor stability of halide perovskite semiconductors represent the major issues for their large-scale application. We previously reported a new family of lead- and iodide-deficient MAPbI3 and FAPbI3 perovskites called d-HPs (for lead- and iodide-deficient halide perovskites) based on two organic cations: hydroxyethylammonium HO-(CH2)2-NH3+ (HEA+) and thioethylammonium HS-(CH2)2-NH3+ (TEA+). In this article, we report the use of an organic dication, 2-hydroxypropane-1,3-diaminium (2-propanol 1,3 diammonium), named PDA2+, to create new 3D d-HPs based on the MAPbI3 and FAPbI3 network with general formulations of (PDA)0,88x(MA)1-0,76x[Pb1-xI3-x] and (PDA)1,11x(FA)1-1,22x[Pb1-xI3-x], respectively. These d-HPs have been successfully synthesized as crystals, powders, and thin films and exhibit improved air stability compared to their reference MAPbI3 and FAPbI3 perovskite counterparts. PDA2+-based deficient MAPbI3 was also tested in operational perovskite solar cells and exhibited an efficiency of 13.0% with enhanced stability.
