Constructing Photoferroelectric Semiconductor by Regulating Non-Covalent Interactions through Halogen Substitution
The advantages of molecular ferroelectrics lie in the "designability" and "multifunctionality", and the molecular-level regulation ability has opened up a brand-new dimension for ferroelectric materials. Non-covalent interactions play a crucial role in the construction of molecular ferroelectrics. However, there remain significant challenges in balancing the strength and reversibility of non-covalent interactions, as well as achieving long-range ordered arrangements. Therefore, a systematic study of non-covalent interactions in the structure is the key to construct high-performance molecular ferroelectrics. Here, we introduced halogenated amines with large dipole moments into adjacent inorganic layers to regulate the non-covalent interactions in the structure, thereby inducing the generation of ferroelectricity. Through a halogen substitution strategy to introduce chlorine (Cl) atom on PA+ (n-propylaminium) cation, hybrid perovskite photoferroelectric semiconductor (Cl-PA)2PbBr4 (Cl-PA+ is 3-chloropropylaminiu) with large piezoelectric response (d33 = 36 pC/N) and high Curie temperature (Tc = 365 K) was obtained. Compared with non-ferroelectric (PA)2PbBr4 (μPA = 1.2 D), the larger dipole moment (μCl-PA = 3.3 D) and the directional ordered arrangement of Cl-PA+ in (Cl-PA)2PbBr4 synergistically induce its ferroelectricity. More importantly, when Cl replaces H, it affects the hydrogen bonds network between the organic cation and the inorganic layer, enhancing the dynamic freedom of the Cl-PA+ cations, making the structure of (Cl-PA)2PbBr4 more prone to phase transitions when the temperature changes. The hydrogen bonding and halogen-halogen interactions in (Cl-PA)2PbBr4 leads to the directional and ordered arrangement of Cl-PA+ cations, breaking the centrosymmetric structure and synergistically promoting the generation of ferroelectricity. This work has confirmed the significance of non-covalent interactions in the construction of ferroelectrics.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
