Environmental Surface Stability of the MAPbBr<sub>3</sub> Single Crystal
Organic–inorganic
halide perovskites have emerged as a promising
semiconductor family because of their remarkable performance in optoelectronic
devices. On the other hand, the stability of perovskites remains a
critical issue. In this work, we report a quantitative and systematic
investigation of in situ cleaved MAPbBr<sub>3</sub> single-crystal
degradation processes in X-ray, N<sub>2</sub>, O<sub>2</sub>, and
H<sub>2</sub>O environments. The high-quality crystals were monitored
by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with careful control
of the exposure time and pressure. The detailed electronic structure
and compositional changes of the crystal were tracked throughout the
different exposures, and these studies provided insights into the
various degradation mechanisms. We identified that ∼10% of
the surface MAPbBr<sub>3</sub> degraded to metallic lead under X-rays
in vacuum, while N<sub>2</sub> could protect the sample from the degradation
for 9 h under the same condition. Other measurements showed that while
the surface was not sensitive to pure O<sub>2</sub>, it was susceptible
to H<sub>2</sub>O exposure within the top 0.37 nm and a reaction threshold
of ∼10<sup>8</sup> Langmuir was found. Below the threshold,
H<sub>2</sub>O acted only as an n-type dopant; above it, the surface
began to decompose. These observations highlight possible future directions
to improve the material stability by environmental control
Degradation by Exposure of Coevaporated CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> Thin Films
Degradation
of coevaporated CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> thin films
were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
and X-ray diffraction as the films were subjected to exposure of oxygen,
low pressure atmospheric air, atmospheric air, or H<sub>2</sub>O.
The coevaporated thin films have consistent stoichiometry and crystallinity
suitable for detailed surface analysis. The results indicate that
CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> is not sensitive to oxygen.
Even after 10<sup>13</sup> Langmuir (L, one L equals 10<sup>–6</sup> Torr s) oxygen exposure, no O atoms could be found on the surface.
The film is not sensitive to dry air as well. A reaction threshold
of about 2 × 10<sup>10</sup> L is found for H<sub>2</sub>O exposure,
below which no CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> degradation
takes place, and the H<sub>2</sub>O acts as an n-dopant. Above the
threshold, the film begins to decompose, and the amount of N and I
decrease quickly, leaving the surface with PbI<sub>2</sub>, hydrocarbon
complex, and O contamination

Light-Induced Degradation of CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> Hybrid Perovskite Thin Film
The
stability of CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> was
investigated by observing the degradation in a coevaporated film irradiated
by a blue laser in ultrahigh vacuum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to investigate
the effects of irradiation on the surface. The core levels of CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> were observed to shift toward
a higher binding energy (BE) during the irradiation, suggesting that
the surface became more n-type. A new metallic Pb component in the
XPS spectrum appeared after 120 min of irradiation, indicating that
the film had started to decompose. The decomposition saturated after
about 480 min of irradiation when the ratio of metallic Pb to total
Pb was about 33%. Furthermore, the film was no longer continuous after
irradiation, as the elements gold and oxygen from the substrate were
detected by XPS. SEM images also show a roughened surface after irradiation.
The results strongly indicate that CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3</sub> is sensitive to the laser irradiation and that the light
induced decomposition is a self-limiting process
