Abstract
Surface modification via organic molecular layers is an effective strategy for experimentally regulating the work function (Φ) of perovskites. However, achieving precise control over Φ of perovskites remains a significant challenge. In this study, Φ of the FAPbI3 perovskite surface is quantitatively regulated using anilinium (An) and its derivatives. Three factors contribute to the change in Φ (ΔΦ): surface structure relaxation, surface charge exchange, and modified layer potential difference (ΔV). After the modification of perovskite surface with anilinium (An) and its derivatives, ΔΦ of FAPbI3 correlates linearly with ΔV of the modified layer, as the contribution of surface structure relaxation to ΔΦ is negligible, and the contribution of interfacial charge exchange to ΔΦ remains constant. The experimental results also demonstrated that Φ of perovskite surface can be linearly regulated. In addition, the linear relationship between ΔΦ and ΔV applies to other organic groups and their derivatives, as well as other metal halide perovskites. This methodology offers a practical computational strategy to precisely regulate Φ of the perovskite surface by designing ΔV of the modified layer.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
