Traps in the spotlight: How traps affect the charge carrier dynamics in Cs₂AgBiBr₆ perovskite

Suitable optoelectronic properties of lead halide perovskites make these materials interesting semiconductors for many applications. Toxic lead can be substituted by combining monovalent and trivalent cations, such as in Cs₂AgBiBr₆. However, efficiencies of Cs₂AgBiBr₆-based photovoltaics are still...

Effect of Structural Defects and Impurities on the Excited State Dynamics of 2D BA₂PbI₄ Perovskite

In this work, we show that the quality of the precursor and the thin film preparation strongly affect the optoelectronic properties of the 2D perovskite BA₂PbI₄. 2D perovskites with alkylammonium organic cations such as butylammonium (BA) are relatively soft structures that exhibit large dynamic disorder and phase...
