System description
Dimensionality: 3D
Sample type: powder

Starting materials: HBr, CH3NH2, Pb(NO3)2

Product: MAPbBr3 Single-crystal

Description: Add concentrated HBr to neutralize 20 g of 40% CH3NH2 aqueous solution. Add 7.1 g (0.021 mol) of Pb(NO3)2 solution drop-wise under vigorous stirring at 100°C to the concentrated CH3NH3Br solution. Red organic crystals form while dripping in the solution. Cool the solution to room temperature and filter out the crystals. Wash crystals firstly with n-butanol and then with benzene; subsequently dry crystals in vacuum. Yield: 9.5 g.

Method: Adiabatic calorimetry

Description: The heat capacities were measured in an adiabatic calorimeter from 30 to 300 K, using sample masses of 12.8235 g MAPbBr3. Refer to Page 414 Table 1.
