Defect chemistry of methylammonium lead iodide

The present work deals with the defect chemistry and charge transport properties in halide perovskites, and in particular in the archetypal methylammonium lead iodide. These materials are extensively researched due to their very promising application as li ...

First-principles calculations of iodine-related point defects in CsPbI3

Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

We present here first principles hybrid functional calculations of the atomic and electronic structure of several iodine-related point defects in CsPbI3, a material relevant for photovoltaic applications. We show that the presence of neutral interstitial I ...

The Nature of Ion Conduction in Methylammonium Lead Iodide: A Multimethod Approach

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

By applying a multitude of experimental techniques including H-1, N-14, Pb-207 NMR and I-127 NMR/NQR, tracer diffusion, reaction cell and doping experiments, as well as stoichiometric variation, conductivity, and polarization experiments, iodine ions are u ...

Operando Observation of (Bi)carbonate Precipitation during Electrochemical CO2 Reduction in Strongly Acidic Electrolytes

Corsin Battaglia, Alessandro Senocrate, Nukorn Plainpan

Precipitation of (bi)carbonate salts during the electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) has been identified as a major cause of degradation and one of the main challenges to be overcome before implementing this technology on the industrial scale. Recently, t ...

Slow CH3NH3+ Diffusion in CH3NH3PbI3 under Light Measured by Solid-State NMR and Tracer Diffusion

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

We investigate methylammonium (MA) transport in MA lead iodide under illumination and show this, as in the dark, to be measurable but negligible when compared with the major carriers. H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra show constant line ...

Thermochemical Stability of Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Joachim Maier, Alessandro Senocrate

This contribution discusses the chemical stability of methylammonium (MA) halide perovskites (MAPbI(3), MAPbBr(3), and MAPbCl(3)); it considers degradation processes relevant for devices (vs T, O-2, H2O, voltage, illumination) by outlining their thermodyna ...
