Effective Enhancement of Mechanical Properties via H/F Substitution in 3D Cyanide Hybrid Perovskites
Abstract
Three-dimensional cyano-bridged organic-inorganic hybrid double perovskites (CHOIPs) show ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and dielectric switching but lack mechanical properties studies. Here, we report a giant enhancement of mechanical properties in CHOIPs compounds through H/F substitution. The elastic modulus and hardness of fluorinated compound (FCH2CH2NH3)2[KFe(CN)6] are up to twice those in (CH3CH2NH3)2[KFe(CN)6].
