Modulating, structural, optical band gap, luminescence, and electrical properties of perspective synthesized lead-free halide perovskite CsSnCl3/Cs2O nanocomposites
摘要
This study investigates the structural characteristics, optical band gap, luminescence, and electrical properties of a newly synthesized lead-free halide CsSnCl3 perovskite semiconductor/ Cs2O nanocomposite. The XRD patterns show that there is a monoclinic crystal phase of the perovskite semiconductor CsSnCl3 as well as a rhombohedral phase of Cs2O at 400 °C in an argon environment. Moreover, the XPS spectra of the sample at 400 °C reveal the presence of Cs 3d, Sn 3d, Cl 2p, and O 1s, indicating the production of both substances. HRTEM and FESEM enable the visualization of both the structural details and size variations in quantum dot-like materials. The optical band gap of synthesized nanocomposite compositions shows a clear red shift in the absorption spectra, which lowers the band gap from 2.7 eV to 1.37 eV. An influential and tunable photoluminescence emission was found at ambient temperature, spanning a broad spectrum from the visible to near-infrared area. When exposed to an argon environment at 400 °C, the material’s structural features changed significantly. In the lower frequency range, the permittivity exceeded 106, and the DC conductivity increased to 6.15 × 10−6 S/cm. This research examines the multifunctional potential of CsSnCl3/Cs2O nanocomposites, investigating their optical, luminescent, and electrical properties.
