Organic-inorganic Metal Halides


Our recent researches on hybrid metal halides involve the following aspects:

  • Understanding composition/structure relationship influence on physical properties
  • Photoelectric chemistry for solar fuels.
  • Create chiral semiconductors to control electron spin and generate circular polarized light.

  • Photoelectrochemistry of Organic-Inorganic Halide Perovskites for Solar Fuels
     

    • Protection Layer & sandwich setup
    • Using nonpolar solvent (ex. DCM)
    • Using concentrated hydrohalic acid solution
