Open AccessPhotoluminescence Study of the Photoinduced Phase Separation in Mixed-Halide Hybrid Perovskite CH3NH3Pb(BrxI1−x)3 Crystals Synthesized via a Solvothermal Method
We systematically synthesized mixed-halide hybrid perovskite CH3NH3Pb(BrxI1−x)3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) crystals in the full composition range by a solvothermal method. The as-synthesized crystals retained cuboid shapes, and...
