Water uptake behaviour of semiconducting glasses formed from hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites

Here we present the uptake behaviour of mechanochemically synthesised crystalline HOIPs, of the form [TAlA][M(dca)₃] (TAlA = tetraalkylammonium, M = Mn²⁺ and Fe²⁺, dca = [C₂N₃⁻] (dicyanamide)), and their melt-quenched glassy derivatives. The semiconducting nature of these materials, alongside their response to environmentally relevant stimuli, was explored using optoelectronic techniques alongside electrochemical analyses.
