Abstract [en]
The understanding of the interfacial properties in perovskite devices under irradiation is crucial for their engineering. In this study we show how the electronic structure of the interface between CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) and Au is affected by irradiation of X-rays, near-infrared (NIR), and ultraviolet (UV) light. The effects of X-ray and light exposure could be differentiated by employing low-dose X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Apart from the common degradation product of metallic lead (Pb0), a new intermediate component (Pbint) was identified in the Pb 4f XPS spectra after exposure to high intensity X-rays or UV light. The Pbint component is determined to be monolayer metallic Pb on-top of the Au substrate from underpotential deposition (UPD) of Pb induced from the breaking of the perovskite structure allowing for migration of Pb2+.
