Abstract:
The technique for growing CH3NH3PbI3 single crystals from saturated solutions in concentrated hydroiodic acid is improved by introducing a reducing agent (hypophosphorous acid). The structure of perovskite is confirmed by single crystal XRD. By energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy it is established that the stoichiometry of the grown crystals corresponds to the CH3NH3PbI3 compound. Changes in the photoluminescence intensity during in-air measurements show that the crystals synthesized using the reducing agent are more stable in the external environment with laser exposure than without it.
