Abstract
A high throughput combinatorial synthesis utilizing inkjet printing of precursor inks was used to rapidly evaluate Bi-alloying into double perovskite oxides for enhanced visible light absorption. The fast visual screening of photo image scans of the library plates identifies 4-metal oxide compositions displaying an increase in light absorption, which subsequent UV–vis spectroscopy indicates is due to bandgap reduction. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy demonstrates that the visually darker composition range contains Bi-alloyed Sm₂MnNiO₆ (double perovskite structure), of the form (Bi,Sm)₂MnNiO₆. Bi alloying not only increases the visible absorption but also facilitates crystallization of this structure at the relatively low annealing temperature of 615 °C. Investigation of additional seven combinations of a rare earth (RE) and a transition metal (TM) with Bi and Mn indicates that Bi-alloying on the RE site occurs with similar effect in the family of rare earth oxide double perovskites.
