Short-range ion dynamics in methylammonium lead iodide by multinuclear solid state NMR and 127I NQR
Literature Information

We explore the short-range ion dynamics in methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3, the archetypal halide perovskite) by means of solid-state NMR (1H, 13C, 14N, 15N and 207Pb) and Nuclear Quadrupolar Resonance (127I NQR), in combination with molecular dynamics simulations. We focus on the rotational motion of the methylammonium (MA) cation, and on the interaction between MA and the inorganic lattice, since these processes are linked to electronic carrier lifetimes, optical and electronic properties and even structural stability of this promising solar cell material. We show that the motion of the MA cation can be described by a bi-axial rotation, with similar interactions of CH3 and NH3+ groups with the inorganic framework. This motion becomes nearly isotropic above the cubic phase transition, dominating the spin–lattice relaxation of 1H, 13C and 15N through spin-rotational interactions. In addition, we observe strong cross-relaxation between 207Pb and 127I, which fully controls spin–spin and spin–lattice relaxation in 207Pb.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
