The Stability of Hybrid Perovskites with UiO-66 Metal-Organic Framework Additives with Heat, Light, and Humidity.

This study is devoted to investigating the stability of metal-organic framework (MOF)-hybrid perovskites consisting of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPbI 3 ) and UiO-66 without a functional group and UiO-66 with different COOH, NH 2 ,and F functional groups under external influences including heat, light, and humidity. By conducting crystallinity, optical, and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) measurements after long-term aging, all of the prepared MAPbI3@UiO-66 nanocomposites (with pristine UiO-66 or UiO-66 with additional functional groups) were stable to light soaking and a relative humidity (RH) of 50%. Moreover, the UiO-66 and UiO-66-(F) 4 hybrid perovskite films possessed a higher heat tolerance than the other two UiO-66 with the additional functional groups of NH 2 and COOH. Tthe MAPbI3@UiO-66-(F) 4 delivered the highest stability and improved optical properties after aging. This study provides a deeper understanding of the impact of the structure of hybrid MOFs on the stability of the composite films.
