Composition-dependent photoluminescence intensity and prolonged recombination lifetime of perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx films

Mixed halide perovskites CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx (x = 0.6-12) with different compositions of halogens exhibit drastically changed optical properties. In particular, the thin films prepared with these perovskites demonstrate extraordinary photoluminescence emission intensities and prolonged recombination lifetimes up to 446 ns, which are desirable for light emitting and photovoltaic applications.
