Abstract
Formamidinium lead halide (FAPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite materials have recently drawn an increased amount of attention owing to their superior optoelectronic properties and enhanced material stability as compared with their methylammonium-based (MA-based) analogues. Herein, we report a study of thepressure-induced structural and optical evolutions of FAPbI3 hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) using a synchrotron-based X-ray scattering technique coupled to in situ absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies. As a result of their unique structural stability and soft nature, FAPbI3 NCs exhibit a wide range of band-gap tunability (1.44-2.17 eV) as a function of pressure (0-13.4 GPa). The study presented here not only provides an efficient and chemically orthogonal means to controllably engineer the band gap of FAPbI3 NCs using pressure but more importantly sheds light on how to strategically design the band gaps of FA-based hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites for various optoelectronic applications.
