Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials combine the robust electronic properties of extended inorganic solids with the diversity of organic molecules. Their mild synthetic conditions and versatile nature encourage their application as energy storage and conversion materials. I have placed emphasis on understanding the fundamental relationships between structural and electronic properties in these hybrids. To this end, I have utilized gigapascal-scale pressure to explore the structural evolution of halide perovskites under compression and the concomitant changes to their electronic behavior. I have observed dramatic piezochromism, increased conductivity, and the emergence of new photoluminescent states and altered electronic structures, thereby demonstrating the modification of these important semiconductors' thermodynamic and transport properties. In addition to the examination of fundamental structural and electronic correlations in hybrid materials, I have focused on designing, synthesizing, characterizing, and applying new hybrid materials—most often crystalline halide perovskites—as battery electrodes or white-light phosphors.
