Piezoelectric materials are a class of important functional materials applied in high-voltage sources, sensors, vibration reducers, actuators, motors, and so on. Herein, [(CH ) S] Bi Br is a brilliant semiconducting organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite-type non-ferroelectric piezoelectric with excellent piezoelectricity. Strikingly, the value of the piezoelectric coefficient d is estimated as ≈18 pC N . Such a large piezoelectric coefficient in non-ferroelectric piezoelectric has been scarcely reported and is comparable with those of typically one-composition non-ferroelectric piezoelectrics such as ZnO (3pC N ) and much greater than those of most known typical materials. In addition, 1 exhibits semiconducting behavior with an optical band gap of ≈2.58 eV that is lower than the reported value of 3.37 eV for ZnO. This discovery opens a new avenue to exploit molecular non-ferroelectric piezoelectric and should stimulate further exploration of non-ferroelectric piezoelectric due to their high stability and low loss characteristics.
压电材料是一类重要的功能材料,应用于高压电源、传感器、减振器、执行器、电动机等领域。本文中,[(CH ) S] Bi Br 是一种具有优异压电性能的新型半导体有机-无机混合钙钛矿型非铁电压电材料。值得注意的是,该材料的压电系数 d 值约为 18 pC N ,这在非铁电压电材料中极为罕见,与 ZnO(3pC N )等典型的单一成分非铁电压电材料相当,远大于大多数已知典型材料的系数。此外,1 表现出半导体行为,光学带隙约为 2.58 eV,低于 ZnO 的报道值 3.37 eV。这一发现为开发分子非铁电压电材料开辟了新途径,由于其高稳定性和低损耗的特点,应该会进一步激发对非铁电压电材料的探索。
