Abstract

The present disclosure relates to coated particles. The teachings thereof may be embodied in coated particles, a method for their production, and the use of the coated particles in X-ray detectors, gamma detectors, UV detectors, or solar cells. For example, some embodiments include particles comprising: perovskite crystals of the type ABX 3 or AB 2 X 4 ; wherein A comprises at least one monovalent, divalent, or trivalent element from the fourth or a higher period in the periodic table or mixtures thereof; B comprises a monovalent cation, the volumetric parameter of which is sufficient, with the respective element A, for perovskite lattice formation; and X is selected from the group consisting of halides and pseudohalides, and mixtures thereof; and a coating of at least one semiconductor material surrounding a nucleus comprising the perovskite crystals.

5. The coated particle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor material comprises at least one electron-conducting material or a hole-conducting material.

6. A method for producing coated particles, the method comprising:

producing a nucleus of perovskite crystals of the type ABX 3 or AB 2 X 4 , where A comprises at least one monovalent, divalent, or trivalent element from the fourth or a higher period in the periodic table and/or mixtures thereof, B comprises a monovalent cation, the volumetric parameter of which is sufficient, with the respective element A, for perovskite lattice formation, the monovalent cation comprising monovalent amino group-containing, positively charged carbon compounds, amidinium ions, guanidinium ions, isothiuronium ions, formamidinium ions, or primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternized organic ammonium ions, and X is selected from among the halides and pseudohalides;

coating the nucleus comprising with at least one semiconductor material by:

bringing the at least one semiconductor material into solution by means of at least one first solvent;

adding the nuclei comprising perovskite crystals to the solution;

subsequently, precipitating the coated particles by the addition of a further substance; and

removing the first solvent and the further substance.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the nuclei comprising perovskite crystals are not soluble in the first solvent.
