    Crystal structure and spectroscopic determination of the phase transitions in methylammonium and formamidinium bismuth iodide perovskites
    (Elsevier, 2024-06-24)
    Understanding of the structural properties of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) and their behavior is crucial for their use as photovoltaics and for the design and assembly of solar cells. As part of this work, a detailed study was conducted to further understand bismuth iodide perovskites, with a specific focus on the phase transitions of methylammonium and formamidinium analogs. A detailed analysis of the temperature-dependent IR spectra was also performed in order to analyze the structural changes that occur. The presence of five phases in the methylammonium bismuth iodide (MABiI) and four phases in formamidinium bismuth iodide (FABiI) were determined. An additional confirmation of the reported results was obtained from the differential scanning calorimetry. The ambiguities concerning the crystal structure of FABiI were resolved based on the results by X- ray powder diffraction (XRPD)

    <jats:p>Many analytical methods have been successfully employed for the study of minerals, in particular, vibrational infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The advantages of the vibrational spectroscopic techniques for identifying and characterizing minerals include: rapid and versatile use; qualitative and quantitative chemical signatures; distinctive chemical fingerprint of a material; indirect determination of the crystal features (polymorphism, isomorphism, coordination, degree of deformation of structural polyhedra); small sample quantity (area less than 1 μm2 for Raman); wide coverage of 4,000 – 50 cm−1 region in a single scan; in situ and direct measurements without sample preparation; nondestructive use; etc. On the other hand, XRPD is a destructive technique that, depending on the method used and the density of the material, requires from a few micrograms up to around 5 grams of sample quantity for analysis. In spite of that, it is a rapid and powerful technique used in mineral studies with relatively straightforward interpretation of the results. During the last decade, portable X-ray powder diffractometers for the nondestructive analysis of art and archeological materials have been developed along with the portable and hand-held vibrational spectroscopy instrument. Here, some advantages and limitations in the process of the complementary use of FTIR and Raman vibrational spectroscopy and XRPD for identification and characterization of minerals are outlined.</jats:p>

    Raman spectroscopy as a tool for predicting the dimensionality and octahedra connectivity in lead iodide perovskites
    (2023-12-05)
    Gjorgjevikj, K., Bukleski, M., Dimitrovska-Lazova, S., Aleksovska, S.
    The interesting properties of the perovskite materials, especially the organic-inorganic ones are a consequence of their structural characteristics. In order to define the origin of these properties, a detailed structural characterization involving analysis with vibrational spectroscopy techniques has been undertaken. In this work, several inorganic and organic-inorganic lead iodide perovskites (RbPbI3, CsPbI3, CH3NH3PbI3, CH(NH2)2PbI3, C(NH2)3PbI3, (CH3)2NH2PbI3, (CH2)4NH2PbI3) were investigated by means of vibrational spectroscopy at room and low temperature and X-ray powder diffraction. Focusing on the Raman spectra, we followed the differences appearing in perovskites with different dimensionality. The bands that occur below 200 cm–1, their shape, relative position, intensity and shift can be related to the octahedral connectivity of the PbI6 anions, which, on the other hand, influence the dimensionality of the perovskites. Therefore, Raman spectroscopy can be used as a supporting technique for fast and reliable identification of octahedral connectivity.

    Using the Escape Room game-based approach in chemistry teaching

    In recent years, the Escape Room approach has been applied in teaching of various content. Aside from being enjoyable, the Escape Room activities actively involve all students in the class and promote their creative, critical and logical thinking, problem solving, communication and cooperation, as well as positive attitude towards the subject. To encourage the engagement and motivation of ninth-grade students, activities were developed regarding the topic of exothermic and endothermic reactions, through the use of Google Forms and Breakout Rooms option in MS Teams. The application of this approach helps students to master the teaching content in a more interesting way, encourages discussion and cooperation among students. 244 9th grade students from five primary schools participated in the research. Apart from encouraging engagement and motivation among students, one of the objectives of the research was to examine their opinions regarding the implemented Escape Room activities. For this purpose, the motivation of students towards Science Learning (SMTSL) and Activity Perception Questionnaire (APQ-ER) instruments were implemented. The research results, positive atmosphere during the classes, and high students’ satisfaction after completing the activities indicate numerous benefits of the implementation of the Escape Room approach in chemistry teaching.
