Herein we demonstrate the dry synthesis of CsBi3I10 both as a free-standing material and in the form of homogeneous thin films, deposited by thermal vacuum deposition. Chemical and optical characterization shows high thermal stability, phase purity, and photoluminescence centered at 700 nm, corresponding to a bandgap of 1.77 eV. These characteristics make CsBi3I10 a promising low-toxicity material for wide bandgap photovoltaics. Nevertheless, the performance of this material as a semiconductor in solar cells remains rather limited, which can be at least partially ascribed to a low charge carrier mobility, as determined from pulsed-radiolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity. Further developments should focus on understanding and overcoming the current limitations in charge mobility, possibly by compositional tuning through doping and/or alloying, as well as optimizing the thin film morphology which may be another limiting factor.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive.
