Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a three-dimensional germanium-based halide perovskite material, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of functional materials. Background Technology

[0002] Ferroelectrics are an important class of functional materials with wide applications in capacitors, non-volatile memories, and laser frequency converters. The ordered arrangement of dipoles within ferroelectrics creates spontaneous polarization, which can be reversed or reoriented under an applied electric field. Based on this spontaneous polarization, ferroelectric materials often exhibit rich physical properties (such as nonlinear switching effects, pyroelectric effects, piezoelectric effects, electro-optic effects, and photorefractive effects), leading to their widespread application in microelectronics, optoelectronics, sensing technology, aerospace technology, and laser technology, further driving the rapid development of the modern electronic information industry. Therefore, research on ferroelectric materials has become a key research direction integrating chemistry, materials science, and physics, possessing significant scientific value and practical significance for promoting the development of optoelectronics and related industries. Halide perovskite ferroelectrics possess advantages such as light weight, low cost, good mechanical flexibility, ease of low-temperature processing, tunable structure, and biocompatibility, injecting new vitality into the further development of the ferroelectric materials field.

[0003] In recent years, tin-based (Sn) and germanium-based (Ge) hybrid perovskites have gained attention due to their low toxicity and stronger polarizability. 2 The increasingly diverse structures and properties associated with lone pairs of electrons have attracted widespread attention from researchers. In particular, Ge... 2+ 4s 2 The strong stereochemical expression of lone pairs of electrons leads to large octahedral distortions, which in turn results in strong second harmonics and high polarization in germanium-based perovskites. For example, ferroelectricity has been demonstrated in three-dimensional inorganic halide perovskites CsGeX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I), with strong spontaneous polarization (up to 20 μC / cm). 2 (Originating from Ge) 2+ Ion shifts resulting from lone-pair stereochemical activity. Although extensive work has been conducted to investigate the nonlinear optics and ferroelectricity of Ge-based halide perovskites, the ferroelectricity of three-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid germanium-based perovskites remains to be explored.
