Chalcohalide Antiperovskite Thin Films with Visible Light Absorption and High Charge-Carrier Mobility Processed by Solvent-Free and Low-Temperature Methods

Silver chalcohalide antiperovskites represent a rather unexplored alternative to lead halide perovskites and other semiconductors based on toxic heavy metals. All synthetic approaches reported so far for Ag3SI and Ag3SBr require long synthesis times (typically days, weeks, or even months) and high temperatures. Herein, we report the synthesis of these materials using a fast and low-temperature method involving mechanochemistry. Structural and optical properties are examined experimentally and supported by first-principles calculations. Furthermore, we deposit Ag3SI as thin films by pulsed laser deposition and characterize its optoelectronic properties using optical-pump-terahertz-probe measurements, revealing a high charge-carrier mobility of 49 cm2 V-1 s-1. This work paves the way to the implementation of chalcohalide antiperovskites in various optoelectronic applications

Este IDN E-Briefing Paper pretende divulgar os resultados do seminário internacional “Shifts in world geopolitics: cooperation and competition in the Atlantic”, organizado pelo Centro do Atlântico, o Instituto da Defesa Nacional e a Universidade dos Açores, a 25 de fevereiro de 2022 em Ponta Delgada, nos Açores. Este seminário visou identificar áreas de convergência e divergência de interesses, face a um Atlântico em rápida evolução. Procurou também fornecer indicações importantes sobre como valorizar a posição estratégica dos Açores, em consonância com o atual contexto geopolítico.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
