Photo-induced halide redistribution in 2D halide perovskite lateral heterostructures
Joule(2023)
Abstract
An improved understanding of the degradation pathways under external stimuli is needed to address stability challenges in twodimensional (2D) perovskite semiconductor materials. In this study, in situ synchrotron nanoprobe X-ray fluorescence (nano-XRF) is used to investigate the evolution of halide redistribution within various 2D halide perovskite (n = 1-3) lateral heterostructures under ultraviolet (UV) exposure. The results show that iodine (I) experiences a loss in all cases, with the rate of change following the perovskite dimensionality monotonically. In contrast, bromine (Br) is relatively more stable than I in n = 2 and 3 heterostructures, with no significant change in the total Br concentration but a visible amount of Br diffusion to the previously I-rich regime. Combining nano-XRF and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we found a reduction of dimensionality in crystals with n > 1 after UV exposure, indicating significant structural reconfiguration beyond ion migration.
