A rapid synthetic protocol for preparing Cs3Bi2Br9 platelets with clean surfaces and controllable thickness in a dilute H2SO4 solution has been reported. These novel lead-free halide perovskite platelets, with preferential exposure of (00l) facets, can drive the photo-oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde with high selectivity and stability over 36 hours.
Organic ligands with long carbon chains have been widely utilized to mediate the growth of halide perovskite crystals with tunable morphologies. However, the presence of these surfactants on the surface of halide perovskites limits their performance in photocatalytic conversion applications. Herein, a rapid synthetic protocol to prepare Cs3Bi2Br9 platelets with clean surfaces and controllable thickness in a dilute H2SO4 solution after a quick cooling process in liquid nitrogen or mixtures of dry ice is reported. Electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction reveal the preferential exposure of (00l) facets in Cs3Bi2Br9 platelets with variable thickness from 100 to 500 nm. Infrared spectroscopy hints that the selective chemisorption of ethyl acetoacetate on (00l) facets of bismuth perovskites regulates the growth of the crystals. These novel lead-free halide perovskite platelets can drive the photo-oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde with high selectivity (>= 88%) and stability over 36 h.
