    Electrical properties of CuPbBr3
    ( Solid State Ionics, 1989-05) kuku, T.A; Chioba, E.R; Chiodelli, G.
    Electrolyte characterisation of CuPbBr3 has shown the material to be appreciably conductive with a room temperature conductivity of 2.3×10−4(Ω cm)−1, and a value of 1.37×10−2 (Ω cm)−1 at 210°C. Conductivity is mainly by anionic type defects, with ionic transport numbers greater than 0.98 for all temperatures considered in the range from 22 to 215°C. The activation energy for bromine vacancy motion is 0.27 eV. X-ray, DTA and TG analyses also show that the material is characterised by a cubic lattice with lattice parameter a0 = 9.08 Å, melts at 271°C and is thermally stable up to 450°C.

    Structural and ionic transport properties of some A2BX4 (A=Cu, B=Pb, Sn, X=Br, I) compounds.
    (1990) Kuku, T.A; Erharhine, P.O; Chiodelli, G.; Akande, A.R.
    The compounds Cu2PbBr4, Cu2SnI4, and Cu2PbI4 have been synthesized as stable phases in the CuBr-PbBr2, CuI-SnI2, or CuI-PbI2 binary systems. Cu2PbBr4 is cubic (a0=9.170 A ̊), whereas Cu2SnI4 and Cu2PbI4 are hexagonal with a=9.050, c =9.706 A ̊, and a=8.064, c=15.128 A ̊, respectively. These materials are characterized mainly by a rather high anionic defect conductivity over the temperature range 20-270°C. The activation energy for the ionic defect mobility is 0.27 eV for Cu2PbBr4, 0.28 eV for Cu2SnI4 and 0.31 eV for Cu2PbI4
