摘要
The hybrid halide perovskite methyl ammonium lead iodide thiocyanate - (CH3NH3)Pb(SCN)(2)I-2 - is synthesized both as a powder and as a thin film. The crystal structure and key optical properties (band gap) are determined by diffuse reflectance spectra and X-ray diffraction (Rietveld refinement) measurements and compared to density functional theory (DFT) state-of-the-art calculations. It is found that the refined orthorhombic crystal structure presents 2D-layer confinement, and that the optical band gap presented in this work does confirm some previous reports and rebuts other results, too.
