Growth and Optical Properties Modulation of I- Doped Cs3Bi2Br9 Crystals
In this study, I- doped Cs3Bi2Br9 crystals (Cs3Bi2I x Br9-x ) were successfully grown using the solution cooling method. The influence of I- doping on the crystal structure, thermal stability, and optical properties of Cs3Bi2Br9 was systematically investigated. The Cs3Bi2I x Br9-x crystals obtained through growth have a size of 5 mm.The doped crystal exhibits an orange-red color, which is distinctly different from the yellow color of the undoped crystal. The XRD results show that the doped crystal still maintains a hexagonal structure with the P3m1 space group, while displaying a shift of diffraction peaks towards smaller angles, indicating lattice expansion due to the difference in radius between the I- and Br-. Thermal analysis shows that the crystal remains stable up to 475.2 ℃, slightly higher than that of Cs3Bi2Br9. Optical tests reveal that after doping, the crystal absorption cut-off edge redshift from 486 nm to 590 nm, resulting in a decrease in the bandgap from 2.61 eV to 2.18 eV, thus significantly broadening the photoresponse range. The main photoluminescence (PL) peak blue shifts to 447 nm (with a full width at half maximum of 97.7 nm, CIE coordinates (0.27, 0.24)), and the fluorescence lifetime exhibits a double exponential decay (τ1=2.18 ns, 38%; τ2=32.32 ns, 62%). This study confirms that I- doping can achieve an optimization of the thermal stability and optoelectronic properties of Cs3Bi2Br9 crystals, providing a new pathway for the application of lead-free perovskites in the field of optoelectronic devices.
