Product Information:

SKU: MS100990

4-Methylphenethylammonium iodide (4-MePEAI) is a novel perovskite precursor complementing Greatcell Solar Materials’ Phenethylammonium precursor series, which includes the popular Phenethylammonium iodide.

The presence of a methyl group in the position 4 of the organic spacer cation Phenethylammonium (PEA) brings the following improvements
 

• The electro-donating property of the methyl group will increase electron density on the amine, enhancing the molecular dipole and thus increasing the interaction between the ammonium and the halide anions. 
• The presence of the methyl group in position 4 will lead to a more homogeneous spatial distribution of the organic cations in the quasi-2D perovskite precursor solution and the resulting film.
• The presence of the methyl group in position 4 will increase of the lipophilic characteristic of the phenethyl moiety.
