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

Abstract

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 stable 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.
