Optoelectronic Properties of (CH3NH3)3Sb2I9 Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract
We present solution-based fabrication and characterization of the lead-free perovskite-related methylammonium antimony iodide (CH 3 NH 3 ) 3 Sb 2 I 9 compound. By photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), we determined a peak absorption coefficient α ≈ 10 5 cm –1 and an optical band gap of 2.14 eV for amorphous films of (CH 3 NH 3 ) 3 Sb 2 I 9 . Compared to the related Bi compound, the Sb-perovskite shows no exciton peak in its absorption spectrum. The photoluminescence emission (PL) is observed at 1.58 eV, and the Urbach tail energy of this amorphous compound is E u = 62 meV, indicating a substantial amount of energetic disorder. We fabricate a planar heterojunction solar cell with a (CH 3 NH 3 ) 3 Sb 2 I 9 absorber layer that yields a power conversion efficiency of η ≈ 0.5%, already featuring a decent fill factor (FF) of 55% and open-circuit voltage of 890 mV but low photocurrent densities. The result of this basic study on (CH 3 NH 3 ) 3 Sb 2 I 9 shows that this compound is a possible starting point for further research into Sb-based lead-free perovskite solar cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
