Bulk Assembly of Organic Metal Halide Nanoribbons
Organic metal halide hybrids with low-dimensional structures at the molecular
level have received great attention recently for their exceptional structural
tunability and unique photophysical properties. Here we report for the first
time the synthesis and characterization of a one-dimensional (1D) organic metal
halide hybrid material, which contains metal halide nanoribbons with a width of
three octahedral units. It is found that this material with a chemical formula
CHNPbCl shows a dual emission with a
photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) of around 25% under ultraviolet
(UV) light irradiation. Photophysical studies and density functional theory
(DFT) calculations suggest the coexisting of delocalized free excitons and
localized self-trapped excitons in metal halide nanoribbons leading to the dual
emission. This work shows once again the exceptional tunability of organic
metal halide hybrids that bridge between molecular systems with localized
states and crystalline ones with electronic bands.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, plus supporting informatio
Surface Effects on Anisotropic Photoluminescence in One-Dimensional Organic Metal Halide Hybrids
One-dimensional (1D) organic metal halide hybrids exhibit strongly
anisotropic optical properties, highly efficient light emission, and large
Stokes shift, holding promises for novel photodetection and lighting
applications. However, the fundamental mechanisms governing their unique
optical properties and in particular the impacts of surface effects are not
understood. Here, we investigate 1D C4N2H14PbBr4 by polarization-dependent
time-averaged and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectroscopy, as a
function of photoexcitation energy. Surprisingly, we find that the emission
under photoexcitation polarized parallel to the 1D metal halide chains can be
either stronger or weaker than that under perpendicular polarization, depending
on the excitation energy. We attribute the excitation-energy-dependent
anisotropic emission to fast surface recombination, supported by
first-principles calculations of optical absorption in this material. The fast
surface recombination is directly confirmed by TRPL measurements, when the
excitation is polarized parallel to the chains. Our comprehensive studies
provide a more complete picture for a deeper understanding of the optical
anisotropy in 1D organic metal halide hybrids
