Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites known for their exceptional optoelectronic properties have garnered considerable attention over the years. In this study, the hirshfeld surface analysis has been employed to uncover significant interactions among the organic and inorganic moieties. The Microhardness of the synthesized crystal was estimated using the microhardness indentation method and the crystals lie in the category of hard materials. HOMO-LUMO of the compound was determined to study the diverse interactions among the molecules. Further, the average value of the distortion parameters, were calculated to be DI (Bi-Cl) = 0.061800 and oct * 103 = 4.88, respectively. Impedance spectroscopy and modulus spectroscopy were employed to uncover the charge conduction mechanism in the crystal. The compound’s optical band gap and activation energy were calculated to be 3.5 eV and 0.64 eV, respectively. This thorough investigation has revealed interesting properties, making (CH3CH2CH2NH3)2[BiCl5] a significant advancement in the research of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
