2-(Aminomethyl pyridine)SbI5: An emerging visible-light driven organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite for photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic applications

Abstract

A novel hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite, 2-(aminomethyl pyridine)SbI5 is synthesized by sol–gel method. This material with band gap of 1.82 eV demonstrated an improved photostability and photocatalytic efficiencies towards H2 generation under solar light. This work is first to report the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties of this type of pyridine incorporated organic–inorganic perovskite.
