Developments in organometal trihalide perovskites (OTP)
Since photovoltaic's with a DSSC based on CH3NH3PbBr3 by Miyasaka and colleagues from Toin University reported an efficiency of 2.2%. In 2009, replaced 'Br' by 'I' and ceased efficiency was 3.8%, while stability was poor. In 2011, Nam-Gyu Park and co-workers from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) were able to achieve stability with PCE upto 6.5%. Subsequently, Park, Grätzel and other colleagues focused on demerits of electrolytes, introduced solid state hole transporting medium (HTM). A spiro MeOTAD (2,2‘,7,7‘-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9‘-spirobifluorene) HTM was effectively used in solid state dye cell in which HTM solute was used within nanoporous TiO2. The HTM improves the stability with increase stability in PCE 9.7%. In mid 2012, Henry Snaith and co-workers from Oxford University simultaneously exploited spiro-MeOTAD and used mixed halide in perovskite structure for better stability.

The lowest CB (CB1) is the spin-orbit SO band, whereas the higher-lying CB2 comprises HE and LE states, according to References 40 and 45. The dashed blue arrows indicate the partly dipole-allowed transitions VB2 → CB1 and VB1 → CB2 at the R point. (b) Absorption spectrum showing that a continuum of electronic transitions between the R and M valleys leads to strong absorption across the visible range (46). Relaxation toward the R valley gives rise to a photoluminescence peak near 1.6 eV arising from CBM1 → VBM1 transitions at the R point.

Schematic diagram indicating recombination mechanisms active in organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites. (a) Trap-assisted recombination is a monomolecular process involving the capture of either an electron (as shown) or a hole in a specific trap state (e.g., defect). (b) Bimolecular recombination may occur between electrons and holes, from either the relaxed state (CBM → VBM) or states higher in the band. (c) Auger recombination is a higher-order process involving at least three particles. The energy of an electron (or hole) is here transferred to another electron (or hole) to allow nonradiative recombination with a hole (or electron). As indicated, all processes have to satisfy energy and momentum conservation. Abbreviations: CB, conduction band; CBM, conduction band minimum; VB, valence band; VBM, valence band maximum.

SUMMARY POINTS 1.Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites exhibit interesting structure-property relationships deriving from their propensity to undergo structural transformations with relative ease. 2.The exciton binding energy Eb appears to be a function of temperature as a result of the strong temperature dependence of the dielectric function. At room temperature, Eb is in the range of a few milli-electron volts to at most a few tens of milli-electron volts, in accordance with the presence of a free-charge-carrier population. 3.Charge-carrier relaxation dynamics within the first few picoseconds after excitation are marked by thermalization, cooling, and many-body effects. It remains to be explored whether extended hot charge-carrier phases can be utilized in photovoltaic devices that exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit. 4.Trap-assisted (monomolecular) charge-carrier recombination is mostly nonradiative and highly specific to material processing, yielding associated lifetimes from nano- to microseconds. Traps in hybrid lead halide perovskites appear to be mostly shallow (approximately tens of milli-electron volts), arising, for example, from elemental metal, halide, or organic vacancies, and may be present in higher density near interfaces and grain boundaries. 5.Bimolecular charge-carrier recombination is predominantly radiative and exhibits rate constants that defy the Langevin limit by many orders of magnitude. 6.Nonradiative Auger recombination is significant for charge-carrier densities corresponding to the threshold for amplified spontaneous emission. Rate constants show a strong specificity to crystal structure, opening the possibility for the design of materials with low Auger rates from first-principles calculations.
19
In summary, organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites have proven to be a fascinating material system to investigate. Few materials show such inherent flexibility in terms of compositional and structural modification, yet allow for excellent optoelectronic properties, including high charge-carrier mobilities, strong optical absorption, and low trap-assisted recombination rates. Whether perovskite photovoltaic cells will become competitors to current silicon technology, the lessons learned from investigating their photophysics will serve as highly valuable guidelines on how to design effective light-harvesting and light-emitting materials.

Chem. 3,195–210 (1893) ) yet the first crystallographic studies that determined that caesium lead halides had a perovskite structure with the chemical formula CsPbX3(X = Cl, Br or I) were only carried out 64 years later by the Danish scientist Christian Møller. He also observed that these coloured materials were photoconductive, thus suggesting that they behave as semiconductors.

Why Organic Inorganic Perovskites?
In the Sept. 26 Science, Grätzel’s group describes a device that uses sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen gas with 12.3 percent efficiency. That figure puts the device above the 10 percent benchmark for useful solartohydrogen conversion. Hydrogen holds promise as clean fuel to power cars or produce electricity. yields a water-splitting photocurrent density of around 10 milliamperes per square centimeter, corresponding to a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 12.3%.

Interaction types between the organic and inorganic components
In ionic compounds, the organic component is an intimate part of the overall structure and in fact the structure depends on the organic ion for overall charge neutrality. In contrast to the previous group, these compounds have specific stoichiometries, with the organic ions occupying well-defined sites in the crystal lattice. Furthermore, the ionic bond length is substan-tially smaller than typical van der Wads distances, providing the potential for a stronger interaction between the organic and inorganic components. These compounds are mainly formed in divalent transition, main group, and rare earth metal halides with one (1D)-, two (2D)-, or three-dimen- sional (3D) perovskite and related structures

Organic–inorganic Hybrid Perovskites
First three-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite, discovered by replacing caesium in CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br or I) with methylammonium cations (MA = CH3NH3+) by Dieter Weber, in 1978. CH3NH3PbI3 is most common used materials for making high efficiency perovskite solar cells. CH3NH3PbI3 is a semiconducting pigment with a direct bandgap of 1.55 eV with absorption coefficient as high as 104–105 cm−1 Methylammonium (MA) JACS, 136, 622, 2014

Basic structure of organic-inorganic perovskite
The basic building component of the organic-inorganic perovskite family is the ABX3 perovskite structure Taking, for example, a system with one of the largest possible values for R, + R,, B y Pb and X = I [R,, = 1.19 A and R, A (5?)], and using t = 1, we find that R, should not exceed approximately 2.6 A. Given that C-C or C-N bond lengths are of order 1.4 A, only the smallest organic molecules-those consisting of two or three atoms (excluding hydrogens) should fit into the structure. Based on these considerations, the methylammonium cation is expected to be an appropriate choice for the 3D perovskite structure. In fact, the compounds CH~NH~MXJ, with M - Sn and Pb, and X = C1, Br, and I, have all been synthesized and structurally characterized (60-69). Each of these systems adopt (as the highest temperature phase) the cubic perovskite structure. For the lead(I1) compounds, the cubic lattice constants vary from a = 5.657(2) A (X = C1) and a = 5.901(1) A (X = Br), to a = (4) A (X, I) (66, 67). The corresponding tin(I1) compounds have the similar lattice constants, a = 5.89 A (X - Br) and a = 6.240(1) A (X = I) (60, 63). Since the symmetry of the free methylammonium cation does not agree with the Oh site symmetry for the A cation of the cubic perovskite structure,the organic cation must be orientationally disordered in the high-temperature phase. In fact, for cubic CHJNH3PbX3, with X = C1, Br, or I, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadruple resonance (NQR) spectroscopies demonstrate that the methylammonium cation undergoes rapid isotropic reorientation (64, 65, 67). Upon cooling, the structures distort to lower symmetry (Table I) The compound CH~NH~EUI~ has also recently been prepared and at room temperature is isostructural to the tetragonal (room temperature) CH3NH3Pb13 structure, with the lattice parameters, a = 8.917(2) A and c = (4) A (70). As of yet no low-temperature studies have been performed on the europium(I1) material, but the succession of phase transitions is likely to be similar to those observed in the lead(I1) and tin(I1) systems. In addition, the methylammonium cation has been replaced by the larger formamidinium cation in the tin(I1)-based system, NH2CH=NH2SnI3, yielding a room temperature cubic perovskite structure with the lattice constant, a = 6.316(1) A, Methylammonium (MA) JACS, 136, 622, 2014

Organic–inorganic Hybrid Perovskites cont.
The unit cell parameter 𝑎 increases from 5.68 to 5.92 and to 6.27 Å as the size of halide increases from X = Cl to Br and to I, respectively. The large size and aspherical shape of MA cause distortion in network and drives several phase transitions by decreasing T. For T <160 K orthorhombic, K<T< K tetragonal and T > K cubic. Phys. Rev.

Band Gap Tuning Bandgap tuning is required to extend the absorption to longer wavelengths without sacrificing the absorption coefficient.
