Abstract:
A thermodynamic band gap-based model for mixed-halide perovskite photosegregation currently explains numerous features of the phenomenon. This includes excitation intensity (Iexc) thresholds for photosegregation as well as Iexc-dependent photosegregation rates and rate constants. An intriguing prediction of the model involves Iexc-dependent terminal halide stoichiometries (xterminal), following photosegregation. Rather than suggest a common terminal value, e.g., xterminal = 0.2, for methylammonium lead iodide/bromide [MAPb(I1-Br)3], the model predicts Iexc-dependent xterminal. This, in principle, allows for the controlled tuning of mixed-halide perovskite photoresponses. More important, though, is the opportunity to study this response to develop deeper insight into the origin of nearly ubiquitous photosegregation in lead-based, mixed-halide perovskites. Here, we demonstrate Iexc-dependent xterminal in formamidinium/cesium, mixed-halide [FACsPb(I1-Br)3] perovskites. We show that modifications to theory, which account for photosegregated domain subpopulations and photocarrier funneling efficiencies, lead to good agreement between measured and predicted Iexc-dependent xterminal values. I-rich phase fractions increase with Iexc and result in asymptotic xterminal versus Iexc. This addresses an open discrepancy between experiment and theory to advance a detailed understanding of light-induced instabilities in mixed-halide perovskites.

02:45Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
02:38Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.
