In this report, we have applied a facile, ligand-free, ambient synthesis protocol toward the fabrication of not only a series of lead-free Ge-based perovskites with the general formulation of MA(1-x)FA(x)GeI(3) (where x was changed from 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, to 1) but also CsGeI3. Specifically, our methodology for producing ABX(3) systems is generalizable, regardless of the identity of either the A site cation or the X site halide ion. Moreover, it incorporates many advantages, including (i) the possibility of efficiently generating pure Ge-based perovskite particles of any desired chemical composition, (ii) the use of readily available, commercial precursors and comparatively lower toxicity solvents, (iii) the practicality of scale up, and (iv) the elimination of the need for any superfluous organic surface ligands or surfactants. In addition to providing mechanistic insights into their formation, we have examined the chemical composition, crystallite size, morphology, surface attributes, oxidation states, and optical properties of our as-prepared perovskites using a combination of diffraction, microscopy, and spectroscopy techniques. Specifically, we noted that the optical band gap could be reliably tuned as a function of chemical composition, via the identity of the A site cation. Moreover, we have probed their stability, not only under standard storage conditions but also, for the first time, when subjected to both e-beam- and X-ray-induced degradation, using cumulative data from sources such as synchrotron-based scanning hard X-ray microscopy. Importantly, of relevance for the potential practical incorporation of these Pb-free perovskites, our work has emphasized the possibility of controlling the chemical composition within Ge-based perovskites as a means of rationally tuning their observed band gaps and optical behavior.
