Universal approach for diffusion quantification applied to lead halide perovskite single crystals
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A universal approach to calculating diffusion coefficients in lead halide perovskite single crystals, which have ionic and mixed ionic–electronic conductivity, is proposed. Using impedance spectroscopy, it is demonstrated how to model a non-ideal Warburg element and transmission line equivalent circuit to identify ionic diffusion in the material. The proposed method is applicable to samples of any thickness and electrical properties. Additionally, it is shown how to overcome the challenges of low-frequency impedance measurement and the non-ideal behavior of the elements through extrapolative modeling and approximation.
