Ion exchange of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite plays a significant role in controlling the performance of materials ant its devices. In this study, an interesting phenomenon was observed that the precipitate in suspension (CH3NH3PbI3−xBrx
in γ-butyrolactone) brought out different colors at high and room temperature. The mechanism study appears that the phenomenon is controlled by temperature sensitive and reversible halide ion exchange in organic-inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbI3−xBrx
mixed-halide perovskite. The results of structure phase, element composition morphology and band gap illustrate that high temperature 55 °C is beneficial to the increasing of I content in MAPbI3−xBrx and room temperature or lower is
advantageous to increasing of Br content in MAPbI3−xBrx. Compared with MAPbI0.76Br2.24 precipitate acquired at room temperature, MAPbI1.17Br1.83 precipitate got at high temperature illustrate wider
lattice spacing, better crystallinity, better morphology and narrower band gap. The results and findings in this study will prompt the interest of readers or experts in the field of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials and related optoelectronic applications.
