Literature Information

Lead-free halide double perovskites (HDPs) have recently been proposed as potential stable and environment-friendly alternatives to lead-based halide perovskites. Bandgap engineering plays a vital role in the optoelectronic applications of HDP materials. In this study, methods combining high-pressure techniques with density functional theory calculations were employed to implement the bandgap engineering of a classic HDP-based (NH4)2SnBr6. Under high pressure, (NH4)2SnBr6 exhibits a redshift of the bandgap with increasing pressure up to 6.3 GPa and a sudden blueshift up to 20.2 GPa, followed by a redshift at higher pressures, which is relevant to the cubic–tetragonal phase transition, direct–indirect transition, and amorphization, respectively. Our results enrich the understanding of the structural–optical properties of (NH4)2SnBr6 and reveal the special role of NH4+ cations in pressure-induced bandgap engineering, thus providing important information for application in optoelectronic devices and helping to design ideal materials with higher efficiency.

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.
