Halogenation triggering rules in hybrid materials for fluorescence and dielectric phase transitions

Jun-Qin Wang et al.

Summary: Organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been widely used in multifunctional sensors, photovoltaic cells, and switching devices. Among them, organic-inorganic hybrid dielectric materials have gained significant attention. In this study, we synthesized three hybrids with different halogen ions to investigate their effect on phase transitions. The results show that the phase-transition temperature of the compounds increases with the size of the halogen ions. These compounds also exhibit consistent trends in dielectric and photoluminescence properties, indicating a relationship with halogen regulation. This research provides guidance for understanding the composition-structure-property relationship of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites.
