Abstract

Herein, effects of doping methylamine bismuth iodide (MBI, (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9), a lead-free perovskite halide material, with bismuth (III) iodide with the molar equivalent of tin (II or IV) iodides are investigated. The doping changes optical properties, surface chemical states, and energy band structure of MBI. SnI4 doping shifts the Fermi level toward the valence band, while SnI2 doping shifts it toward the conduction band. Our result demonstrates that Fermi level of a halide perovskite can be modified by doping.
