description

Fully inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite thin films were prepared by an easy, fast and dry process based on single-source vacuum deposition. We investigated the structural and optical characteristics of the so-formed films as a function of chemical composition (chloride, bromide and iodide films were formed), post-deposition thermal annealing, as well as previous mechanosynthesis of perovskite powders. We found out that the CsPbX3 perovskite was preferentially formed for the smaller halides and favored by previous ball-milling of CsX and PbX2 precursors. When bigger halides were used and/or CsX and PbX2 precursors were simply mixed without previous mechanosynthesis, PbX2-rich compounds such as CsPb2X5 were preferentially formed in the thin films.
