| Resumen: | The synthesis of ethylamine-based perovskites has emerged to attempt to replace the lead in lead-based perovskites for the alkaline earth elements barium and strontium, introducing chloride halide to prepare the perovskites in solar cell technology. X-ray diffraction studies were conducted, and EXPO2014 software was utilized to resolve the structure. Chemical characterization was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photophysical properties were analyzed through ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence properties were determined to confirm the perovskite characteristics. The software employed can determine new crystal structures, as follows: orthorhombic for barium perovskite CH3CH2NH3BaCl3 and tetragonal for strontium perovskite CH3CH2NH3SrCl3. The ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy data demonstrated that a temperature increase (90–110 °C) contributed to reducing the band gap from 3.93 eV to 3.67 eV for barium perovskite and from 4.05 eV to 3.84 eV for strontium perovskite. The results exhibited that new materials can be obtained through gentle chemistry and specialized software like EXPO2014, both of which are capable of conducting reciprocal and direct space analyses for identifying crystal structures using powder X-ray diffraction. |
