Abstract

In recent times, methylammonium lead chloride (CH3NH3PbCl3) perovskites have great significance as the optoelectronic material. Besides all the promising advantages, there are some problems which need to be resolved, one of such problem is to synthesize well-crystalline, highly homogeneous and the less-defective surface of the perovskites by reducing the synthesis complexity. In this continual search of better properties, we have synthesized of CH3NH3PbCl3 film by replacing traditional halide source of lead with a non-halide source of lead. We have also analysed their structural, morphological and optical properties of the film using XRD, FEG-SEM and DRS UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The detailed study confirms the cubic structure of the as-prepared film without any contamination. Surface morphology shows the formation of homogeneous spherical particles with an average size of 0.165 µm. DRS UV-Vis data shows a wide bandgap of 3.7 eV and due to that high transparency in the visible region of light. These outcomes open up the door for CH3NH3PbCl3 film as a vital transparent conductor.
