Abstract
The substitution of atoms with molecular building blocks to form hybrid organic-inorganic networks has been an important research theme for several decades. ABX3 molecular perovskites (MolPs) are a subclass of hybrid networks, adopting the perovskite structure with cationic and anionic molecules on the A-site and X-site. MolPs such as ((CH3)2NH2)Zn(HCOO)3 or ((n-C3H7)4N)Mn(C2N3)3 show a range of fascinating structure-chemical properties, including temperature-driven phase transitions that include a change of polarity as interesting for ferroelectrics, pressure-driven order-disorder phase transitions as interesting for barocaloric solid-state refrigeration, and most recently, melting-behaviour before decomposition with subsequent glass formation after cooling. In this feature article, we take a more personal perspective, overviewing the field's current state and outlining future directions. We start by comparing the MolPs' structural chemistry with their inorganic parents, a comparison that helps us identify opportunities for material design. After discussing the MolPs' potential as barocalorics, ferroelectrics, and in the area of glasses, we outline some challenges that lie ahead. Beyond their relevance as a hybrid analogue of inorganic perovskites, we find that MolPs' chemical parameter space provides exciting opportunities for systematically developing design guidelines for functional materials.

Naqvi SMKA, Zhu Y, Long H, Nazir Z, Vasiliev RB, Kulakovich O, Chang S. Computational approaches to enhance charge transfer and stability in TPBi-(PEA) 2PbI 4 perovskite interfaces through molecular orientation optimization. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:4149-4159. [PMID: 39114143 PMCID: PMC11302203 DOI: 10.1039/d4na00186a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
The optimization of material interfaces is crucial for the performance and longevity of optoelectronic devices. This study focuses on 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBi), a key component in perovskite devices known for its efficient charge transfer capabilities. We investigate the TPBi-(PEA)2PbI4 heterostructure interfaces to enhance device durability by optimizing interfacial properties. Our findings reveal that those specific TPBi orientations - at 15 and 30 degrees - ensure strong electronic coupling between TPBi and (PEA)2PbI4, which improves stability at these interfaces. Furthermore, orientations at 15 and 60 degrees markedly enhance charge transfer kinetics, indicating reduced recombination rates and potentially increased efficiency in optoelectronic devices. These results not only underscore the importance of molecular orientation in perovskite devices but also open new avenues for developing more stable and efficient hybrid materials in optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
The stability of hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite semiconductors remains a significant obstacle to their application in photovoltaics. To this end, the use of low-dimensional (LD) perovskites, which incorporate hydrophobic organic moieties, provides an effective strategy to improve their stability, yet often at the expense of their performance. To address this limitation, supramolecular engineering of noncovalent interactions between organic and inorganic components has shown potential by relying on hydrogen bonding and conventional van der Waals interactions. Here, the capacity to access novel LD perovskite structures that uniquely assemble through unorthodox S-mediated interactions is explored by incorporating benzothiadiazole-based moieties. The formation of S-mediated LD structures is demonstrated, including one-dimensional (1D) and layered two-dimensional (2D) perovskite phases assembled via chalcogen bonding and S-π interactions. This involved a combination of techniques, such as single crystal and thin film X-ray diffraction, as well as solid-state NMR spectroscopy, complemented by molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory calculations, and optoelectronic characterization, revealing superior conductivities of S-mediated LD perovskites. The resulting materials are applied in n-i-p and p-i-n perovskite solar cells, demonstrating enhancements in performance and operational stability that reveal a versatile supramolecular strategy in photovoltaics.

Abstract
Layered perovskites, a novel class of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, exhibit versatile photophysical properties of great interest in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. However, their instability to environmental factors, particularly water, has limited their utility. In this study, we introduce an innovative solution to the problem by leveraging the unique properties of natural beeswax as a protective coating of 2D-fluorinated phenylethylammonium lead iodide perovskite. These photodetectors show outstanding figures of merit, such as a responsivity of >2200 A/W and a detectivity of 2.4 × 1018 Jones. The hydrophobic nature of beeswax endows the 2D perovskite sensors with an unprecedented resilience to prolonged immersion in contaminated water, and it increases the lifespan of devices to a period longer than one year. At the same time, the biocompatibility of the beeswax and its self-cleaning properties make it possible to use the very same turbidity sensors for healthcare in photoplethysmography and monitor the human heartbeat with clear systolic and diastolic signatures. Beeswax-enabled multipurpose optoelectronics paves the way to sustainable electronics by ultimately reducing the need for multiple components.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites are extensively investigated as efficient solution-processable materials for photovoltaic applications. The greatest stability and performance of these compounds are achieved by mixing different ions at all three sites of the APbX3 structure. Despite the extensive use of mixed lead halide perovskites in photovoltaic devices, a detailed and systematic understanding of the mixing-induced effects on the structural and dynamic aspects of these materials is still lacking. The goal of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge on mixing effects on the structural phase transitions, crystal symmetry, cation and lattice dynamics, and phase diagrams of three- and low-dimensional lead halide perovskites. This review analyzes different mixing recipes and ingredients providing a comprehensive picture of mixing effects and their relation to the attractive properties of these materials.

Abstract
Fano resonance is one of the most significant physical phenomena that correlates microscopic processes with macroscopic manifestations for experimental observations using different spectroscopic techniques. Owing to its importance, a focused study is required to clearly understand the origin of certain modifications in spectral behaviour, the nature of which is different for different materials. This means that a careful understanding of Fano interactions can enhance the understanding of several technologically important materials, including perovskites, which are also important in the area of energy storage and conversion. In semiconductors and nano materials (including 2-D materials), Fano interactions occur due to the intervalence or interconduction band transitions. However, in perovskites, Fano interactions are dominated by the interaction between polar phonons or excitons with electronic continuum. Raman spectroscopy, being a sensitive and non-destructive tool, detects subtle scale phenomena, such as Fano interactions, by analysing the Raman line shape. Herein, different dimensions associated with the identification and thereafter the origin of the Fano resonance in perovskites, which are used in energy related areas, have been highlighted using Raman scattering.

Abstract
Despite their excellent environmental stability, low defect density, and high carrier mobility, large-n quasi-two-dimensional halide perovskites (quasi-2DHPs) feature a limited application scope because of the formation of self-assembled multiple quantum wells (QWs) due to the similar thermal stabilities of large-n phases. However, large-n quasi-phase-pure 2DHPs (quasi-PP-2DHPs) can solve this problem perfectly. This review discusses the structures, formation mechanisms, and photoelectronic and physical properties of quasi-PP-2DHPs, summarises the corresponding single crystals, thin films, and heterojunction preparation methods, and presents the related advances. Moreover, we focus on applications of large-n quasi-PP-2DHPs in solar cells, photodetectors, lasers, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors, discuss the challenges and prospects of these emerging photoelectronic materials, and review the potential technological developments in this area.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites show remarkable optical properties and useful applications in optoelectronic devices. However, the instability of three-dimensional (3D) metal halide perovskites limits their applications, leading to the emergence of more stable two-dimensional (2D) metal halide perovskites. Herein, we present a facile synthesis of the 2D hybrid metal halide perovskite (EDA)(MA)n-1PbnBr3n+1 (EDA: ethylene diammonium, MA: methylammonium), where n = 1-6, and MAPbBr3 perovskite layers using an anti-solvent co-precipitation technique. The synthesized materials exhibited tunable optical properties, and the color emissions of pure EDAPbBr4 and (EDA)(MA)2Pb3Br10 perovskites were successfully tailored by altering halide anion layers. The band gap decreases as the value of n in the (EDA)(MA)n-1PbnBr3n+1 compound increases from 1 to 6. The as-prepared materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Finally, the stability of the 2D hybrid metal halide perovskite structures was evaluated under ambient conditions over different periods. Their tunable color emission was investigated and robust fluorescence was observed after 55 days. Thus, this study provides valuable insights into the synthesis and characterization of 2D hybrid metal halide perovskites for tunable color emission, highlighting their potential for use in various optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
We explore the crystal structure and luminescent properties of a new 1D organic-inorganic hybrid, MHy2SbI5, based on methylhydrazine. The compound reveals the red photoluminescence (PL) originating from the 5s2 electron pairs of Sb(III) as well as complex structural behavior. MHy2SbI5 crystalizes in two polymorphic forms (I and II) with distinct thermal properties and structural characteristics. Polymorph I adopts the acentric P212121 chiral space group confirmed by SHG, and, despite a thermally activated disorder of MHy, does not show any phase transitions, while polymorph II undergoes reversible low-temperature phase transition and high-temperature reconstructive transformation to polymorph I. The crystal structures of both forms consist of 1D perovskite zig-zag chains of corner-sharing SbI6 octahedra. The intriguing phase transition behavior of II is associated with the unstable arrangement of the [SbI5]2-∞ chains in the structure. The energy band gap (Eg) values, estimated based on the UV-Vis absorption spectra, indicate that both polymorphs have band gaps, with Eg values of 2.01 eV for polymorph I and 2.12 eV for polymorph II.

Abstract
This work highlights the significance of dielectric confinements and exciton binding energy of hybrid layered perovskites (LPs) in controlling the carrier relaxation dynamics of LPs for designing efficient optoelectronic devices. The polarizability of organic spacer cations in LPs modulates the carrier-phonon and carrier-carrier interactions, which eventually control the carrier relaxation dynamics. Here, we have varied the alkyl-ammonium chain length in the LPs to change the dielectric confinement, and the first-principles calculations reveal that the long-chain organic spacer experiences stronger dielectric confinement in comparison to short-chain organic spacer cation-based LPs. Transient absorption spectroscopic analysis suggests that the larger dielectric confinement and higher exciton binding energy exhibit faster carrier relaxation dynamics. The enhanced exciton-phonon interaction leads to faster carrier relaxation dynamics. The much softer phonon modes are responsible for the higher up-conversion of acoustic modes to optical modes, which leads to slower carrier relaxation dynamics in n-butylamine (BA) based LPs.

Abstract
Quasi-2D perovskites, multiquantum well materials with the energy cascade structure, exhibit impressive optoelectronic properties and a wide range of applications in various optoelectronic devices. However, the insufficient exciton energy transfer caused by the excess of small-n phases that induce nonradiative recombination and the spatially random phase distribution that impedes charge transport severely inhibit the device performance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Here, a faster energy transfer process and efficient carrier recombination are achieved by introducing the multifunctional additive 2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (MTA) to manipulate the crystallization process of perovskites. The introduction of MTA not only constrains the PEA and restrains the formation of small-n phases to improve the energy transfer process but also optimizes the crystal orientation to promote charge transport. As a result, highly efficient pure green quasi-2D perovskite LEDs with a peak EQE of 25.9%, a peak current efficiency of 108.1 cd A-1, and a maximum luminance of 288798 cd m-2 are achieved.

Abstract
Two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper (2D RP) perovskites can form layered protective materials using long organic cations as "barrier" caps, which is expected to solve the problem of instability of perovskites in the working environment. In this work, we systematically studied the 2D Ruddlesden-Popper (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 hybrid perovskites using density functional theory. The results reveal that the 2D (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 perovskites are semiconductors with band gaps of 2.22 eV. The optical absorption peak of the 2D (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 perovskite structure is located at 532 nm in the visible region. Interestingly, the optical absorption spectrum of the 2D (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 perovskite structure enhanced under suitable strains. The highest optical absorption peak appears in 2D (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 under a -2% strain, and its theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency is 28.5%. More interestingly, the replacement of surface I atoms with Br is another ways to enhance the optical absorption spectrum of the 2D (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 perovskite structure. The optical absorption peak blue-shifts to the high energy region, which has higher solar energy flux density than the low energy region. The good stability, tuneable band gap and excellent theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency of the 2D (C6H5CH2NH3)2PbI4 perovskite structure make it a promising candidate for novel 2D hybrid perovskite based photoelectronic devices and solar cells.

Abstract
Layered 2D perovskites are making inroads as materials for photovoltaics and light emitting diodes, but their photophysics is still lively debated. Although their large exciton binding energies should hinder charge separation, significant evidence has been uncovered for an abundance of free carriers among optical excitations. Several explanations have been proposed, like exciton dissociation at grain boundaries or polaron formation, without clarifying yet if excitons form and then dissociate, or if the formation is prevented by competing relaxation processes. Here we address exciton stability in layered Ruddlesden-Popper PEA2PbI4 (PEA stands for phenethylammonium) both in form of thin film and single crystal, by resonant injection of cold excitons, whose dissociation is then probed with femtosecond differential transmission. We show the intrinsic nature of exciton dissociation in 2D layered perovskites, demonstrating that both 2D and 3D perovskites are free carrier semiconductors and their photophysics is described by a unique and universal framework.

Abstract
Organic materials can tune the optical properties in layered (2D) hybrid perovskites, although their impact on photophysics is often overlooked. Here, we use transient absorption spectroscopy to probe the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) and Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) 2D perovskite phases. We show the formation of charge transfer excitons in DJ phases, resulting in a photoinduced Stark effect which is shown to be dependent on the spacer size. By using electroabsorption spectroscopy, we quantify the strength of the photoinduced electric field, while temperature-dependent measurements demonstrate new features in the transient spectra of RP phases at low temperatures resulting from the quantum-confined Stark effect. This study reveals the impact of spacer size and perovskite phase configuration on charge transfer excitons in 2D perovskites of interest to their advanced material design.

Abstract
Because of their better chemical stability and fascinating anisotropic characteristics, Dion-Jacobson (DJ)-layered halide perovskites, which owe crystallographic two-dimensional structures, have fascinated growing attention for solar devices. DJ-layered halide perovskites have special structural and photoelectronic features that allow the van der Waals gap to be eliminated or reduced. DJ-layered halide perovskites have improved photophysical characteristics, resulting in improved photovoltaic performance. Nevertheless, owing to the nature of the solution procedure and the fast crystal development of DJ perovskite thin layers, the precursor compositions and processing circumstances can cause a variety of defects to occur. The application of additives can impact DJ perovskite crystallization and film generation, trap passivation in the bulk and/or at the surface, interface structure, and energetic tuning. This study discusses recent developments in additive engineering for DJ multilayer halide perovskite film production. Several additive-assisted bulk and interface optimization methodologies are summarized. Lastly, an overview of research developments in additive engineering in the production of DJ-layered halide perovskite solar cells is offered.

Abstract
Tin (Sn)-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted extensive attention due to the irlow toxicity and excellent optoelectric properties. Nonetheless, the development of Sn-based PSCs is still hampered by poor film quality due to the fast crystallization and the oxidation from Sn2+ to Sn4+. In this work, we compare and employ three ethylammonium halides, EAX (X = Cl, Br, I) to explore their roles in Sn-based perovskites and solar cells. We find that crystallinity and crystallization orientation of perovskites are optimized with the regulation of EAI. EABr leads to reduced defect density and enhanced crystallinity but also the lowest absorption and the widest band gap owing to the substitution of Br-. Notably, perovskites with EACl exhibit the best crystallinity, lowest defect density, and excellent antioxidant capacity benefiting from the partial substitution of Cl-. Consequently, the EACl-modified device achieves a champion PCE of 12.50% with an improved Voc of 0.79 V. Meanwhile, an unencapsulated EACl device shows excellent shelf stability with negligible efficiency degradation after 5400 h of storage in a N2-filled glovebox, and the encapsulated device retains its initial efficiency after continuous light illumination at the maximum power point for 100 h in air.

Abstract
The recently emerged metal-halide hybrid perovskite (MHP) possesses superb optoelectronic features, which have obtained great attention in solid-state lighting, photodetection, and photovoltaic applications. Because of its excellent external quantum efficiency, MHP has promising potential for the manifestation of ultralow threshold optically pumped laser. However, the demonstration of an electrically driven laser remains a challenge because of the vulnerable degradation of perovskite, limited exciton binding energy (Eb), intensity quenching, and efficiency drop by nonradiative recombinations. In this work, based on the paradigm of integration of Fabry-Perot (F-P) oscillation and resonance energy transfer, we observed an ultralow-threshold (∼250 μWcm-2) optically pumped random laser from moisture-insensitive mixed dimensional quasi-2D Ruddlesden-Popper phase perovskite microplates. Particularly, we demonstrated an electrically driven multimode laser with a threshold of ∼60 mAcm-2 from quasi-2D RPP by judicious combination of a perovskite/hole transport layer (HTL) and an electron transport layer (ETL) having suitable band alignment and thickness. Additionally, we showed the tunability of lasing modes and color by driving an external electric potential. Performing finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations, we confirmed the presence of F-P feedback resonance, the light trapping effect at perovskite/ETL, and resonance energy transfer contributing to laser action. Our discovery of an electrically driven laser from MHP opens a useful avenue for developing future optoelectronics.

Abstract
We have explored the structural, electronic, charge transport, and optical properties of lead-free 2D hybrid halide perovskites, MASnBr3 and Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites, BAMASn2Br7 monolayers. Under density functional theory (DFT) calculation, we applied mechanical strain, i.e., tensile and compressive strain up to 10% in both cases. The mechanical strain engineering technique is useful for a tuned bandgap of 2D MASnBr3 and 2D BAMASn2Br7. The calculated carrier mobility for the electron is 404 cm2 V-1 s-1 and for the hole is up to 800 cm2 V-1 s-1 for MASnBr3. For BAMASn2Br7 the highest carrier mobility is up to 557 cm2 V-1 s-1 for electrons and up to 779 cm2 V-1 s-1 for the hole, which is 14% and 24% higher than the reported lead-iodide based perovskites, respectively. The calculated solar cell efficiency of 2D MASnBr3 is 23.46%, which is 18% higher than the reported lead-based perovskites. Furthermore, the optical activity of the 2D MASnBr3 and 2D BAMASn2Br7 shows a high static dielectric constant of 2.48 and 2.14, respectively. This is useful to show nanodevice performance. Also, 2D MASNBr3 shows a high absorption coefficient of 15.25 × 105 cm-1 and 2D BAMASn2Br7 shows an absorption coefficient of up to 13.38 × 105 cm-1. Therefore our theoretical results suggest that the systems are under mechanical strain engineering. This is convenient for experimentalists to improve the performance of the 2D perovskites. The study supports these materials as good candidates for photovoltaic and optoelectronic device applications.

Abstract
Recently, halide perovskites (HPs) and layered two-dimensional (2D) materials have received significant attention from industry and academia alike. HPs are emerging materials that have exciting photoelectric properties, such as a high absorption coefficient, rapid carrier mobility and high photoluminescence quantum yields, making them excellent candidates for various optoelectronic applications. 2D materials possess confined carrier mobility in 2D planes and are widely employed in nanostructures to achieve interfacial modification. HP/2D material interfaces could potentially reveal unprecedented interfacial properties, including light absorbance with desired spectral overlap, tunable carrier dynamics and modified stability, which may lead to several practical applications. In this review, we attempt to provide a comprehensive perspective on the development of interfacial engineering of HP/2D material interfaces. Specifically, we highlight the recent progress in HP/2D material interfaces considering their architectures, electronic energetics tuning and interfacial properties, discuss the potential applications of these interfaces and analyze the challenges and future research directions of interfacial engineering of HP/2D material interfaces. This review links the fields of HPs and 2D materials through interfacial engineering to provide insights into future innovations and their great potential applications in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The emerging Ruddlesden-Popper two-dimensional perovskite (2D PVK) has recently joined the family of 2D semiconductors as a potential competitor for building van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures in future optoelectronics. However, to date, most of the reported heterostructures based on 2D PVKs suffer from poor spectral response that is caused by intrinsic wide bandgap of constituting materials. Herein, a direct heterointerface bandgap (∼0.4 eV) between 2D PVK and ReS2 is demonstrated. The strong interlayer coupling reduces the energy interval at the heterojunction region so that the heterostructure shows high sensitivity with the spectral response expanding to 2000 nm. The large type-II band offsets exceeding 1.1 eV ensure fast photogenerated carriers separation at the heterointerface. When this heterostructure is used as a self-driven photodetector, it exhibits a record high detectivity up to 1.8 × 1014 Jones, surpassing any reported 2D self-driven devices, and an impressive external quantum efficiency of 68%.

Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites of type (C 6H 9C 2H 4NH 3) 2(CH 3NH 3) n-1Pb nI 3n+1 (n = 1-4) for optoelectronic applications. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2176. [PMID: 35140250 PMCID: PMC8828857 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-06108-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) phase metal halide organo perovskites are being extensively studied due to their quasi-two dimensional (2D) nature which makes them an excellent material for several optoelectronic device applications such as solar cells, photo-detectors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers etc. While most of reports show use of linear carbon chain based organic moiety, such as n-Butylamine, as organic spacer in RP perovskite crystal structure, here we report a new series of quasi 2D perovskites with a ring type cyclic carbon group as organic spacer forming RP perovskite of type (CH)2(MA)n−1PbnI3n+1; CH = 2-(1-Cyclohexenyl)ethylamine; MA = Methylamine). This work highlights the synthesis, structural, thermal, optical and optoelectronic characterizations for the new RP perovskite series n = 1–4. The demonstrated RP perovskite of type for n = 1–4 have shown formation of highly crystalline thin films with alternate stacking of organic and inorganic layers, where the order of PbI6 octahedron layering are controlled by n-value, and shown uniform direct bandgap tunable from 2.51 eV (n = 1) to 1.92 eV (n = 4). The PL lifetime measurements supported the fact that lifetime of charge carriers increase with n-value of RP perovskites [154 ps (n = 1) to 336 ps (n = 4)]. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed highly stable nature of reported RP perovskites with linear increase in phase transition temperatures from 257 °C (n = 1) to 270 °C (n = 4). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) are used to investigate the surface morphology and elemental compositions of thin films. In addition, the photodetectors fabricated for the series using (CH)2(MA)n−1PbnI3n+1 RP perovskite as active absorbing layer and without any charge transport layers, shown sharp photocurrent response from 17 nA/cm2 for n = 1 to 70 nA/cm2 for n = 4, under zero bias and low power illumination conditions (470 nm LED, 1.5 mW/cm2). Furthermore, for lowest bandgap RP perovskite n = 4, (CH)2MA3Pb4I13 the photodetector showed maximum photocurrent density of ~ 508 nA/cm2 at 3 V under similar illumination condition, thus giving fairly large responsivity (46.65 mA/W). Our investigations show that 2-(1-Cyclohexenyl)ethylamine based RP perovskites can be potential solution processed semiconducting materials for optoelectronic applications such as photo-detectors, solar cells, LEDs, photobatteries etc.

Abstract
Two-dimensional organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites are generating great interest due to their optoelectronic characteristics such as high solar energy conversion efficiency and a tunable direct band gap in the visible regime. However, the presence of defect states within the two-dimensional crystal structure can affect these properties, resulting in changes to their band gap emission as well as the emergence of nonlinear optical phenomena. Here, we have investigated the effects of the presence of defect states on the nonlinear optical phenomena of the 2D hybrid perovskite (BA)2(MA)2Pb3Br10. When two pulses, one narrowband pump pulse centered at 800 nm and one supercontinuum pulse with bandwidth from 800-1100 nm, are incident on a perovskite flake, degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) occurs, with peaks corresponding to the energy levels of the defect states present within the crystal. The longer carrier lifetime of the defect state, in comparison to that of virtual transitions that take place in nonresonant FWM processes, allows for a larger population of electrons to be excited by the second pump photon, resulting in increased FWM signal at the defect energy levels. The quenching of the two-photon luminescence as flake thickness increases is also observed and attributed to the increased presence of defects within the flake at larger thicknesses. This technique shows the potential of detecting defect energy levels in crystals using FWM for a variety of optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
0D perovskites have gained much attention in recent years due to their fascinating properties derived from their peculiar structure with isolated metal halide octahedra or metal halide clusters. However, the systematic discussion on the crystal and electronic structure of 0D perovskites to further understand their photophysical characteristics and the comprehensive overview of 0D perovskites for their further applications are still lacking. In this review, the unique crystal and electronic structure of 0D perovskites and their diverse properties are comprehensively analyzed, including large bandgaps, high exciton binding energy, and largely Stokes-shifted broadband emissions from self-trapped excitons. Furthermore, the photoluminescence regulation are discussed. Then, the various synthetic methods for 0D perovskite single crystals, nanocrystals, and thin films are comprehensively summarized. Finally, the emerging applications of 0D perovskites to light-emitting diodes, solar cells, detectors, and some others are illustrated, and the outlook on future research in the field is also provided.

Abstract
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on perovskite quantum dots have shown external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of over 23% and narrowband emission, but suffer from limited operating stability1. Reduced-dimensional perovskites (RDPs) consisting of quantum wells (QWs) separated by organic intercalating cations show high exciton binding energies and have the potential to increase the stability and the photoluminescence quantum yield2,3. However, until now, RDP-based LEDs have exhibited lower EQEs and inferior colour purities4-6. We posit that the presence of variably confined QWs may contribute to non-radiative recombination losses and broadened emission. Here we report bright RDPs with a more monodispersed QW thickness distribution, achieved through the use of a bifunctional molecular additive that simultaneously controls the RDP polydispersity while passivating the perovskite QW surfaces. We synthesize a fluorinated triphenylphosphine oxide additive that hydrogen bonds with the organic cations, controlling their diffusion during RDP film deposition and suppressing the formation of low-thickness QWs. The phosphine oxide moiety passivates the perovskite grain boundaries via coordination bonding with unsaturated sites, which suppresses defect formation. This results in compact, smooth and uniform RDP thin films with narrowband emission and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This enables LEDs with an EQE of 25.6% with an average of 22.1 ±1.2% over 40 devices, and an operating half-life of two hours at an initial luminance of 7,200 candela per metre squared, indicating tenfold-enhanced operating stability relative to the best-known perovskite LEDs with an EQE exceeding 20%1,4-6.

Abstract
Transition-metal containing halides with Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite structures have received extensive attention owing to their emerging and anisotropic photoelectric functionalities. Among them, A2 CuX4 (A=alkali metal or organic cations, X=Cl, Br, I) series are particular, because of the Jahn-Teller distortion of Cu2+ sensitive to external stimuli such as temperature and pressure. In this article, we report the structure evolution and physical property responses of RP perovskites Rb2 CuCl4-x Brx (x=1, 2) to external pressure. Dramatic structural phase transitions from orthorhombic to monoclinic occur around 3.0 GPa in both materials regardless of their distinct compositions. Structure analyses reveal the suppression and final vanishing of the Jahn-Teller distortion of Cu2+ cations under compression and crossing the phase transition, respectively. Rb2 CuCl4-x Brx perovskites exhibit abrupt bandgap narrowing (from reddish-brown to black) along with the structural phase transition, and an overall bandgap narrowing of 75% up to ∼27 GPa but still keeping semiconductive. During the compression processes, the resistances of Rb2 CuCl4-x Brx have been greatly reduced by 5-orders of magnitude. Moreover, all of the pressure-induced phenomena in Rb2 CuCl4-x Brx perovskites are reversible upon decompression and no obvious difference is observed for the pressure responses between [CuCl4 Br2 ] and [CuCl4 (Cl,Br)2 ] coordination environments. The impact of pressure on the structural and physical properties in two-dimensional Rb2 CuCl4-x Brx provides in-depth understanding on the structure design of functional halide perovskites at ambient conditions.

Abstract
Layered hybrid perovskites based on Dion-Jacobson phases are of interest to various optoelectronic applications. However, the understanding of their structure-property relationships remains limited. Here, we present a systematic study of Dion-Jacobson perovskites based on (S)PbX4 (n = 1) compositions incorporating phenylene-derived aromatic spacers (S) with different anchoring alkylammonium groups and halides (X = I, Br). We focus our study on 1,4-phenylenediammonium (PDA), 1,4-phenylenedimethylammonium (PDMA), and 1,4-phenylenediethylammonium (PDEA) spacers. Systems based on PDA did not form a well-defined layered structure, showing the formation of a 1D structure instead, whereas the extension of the alkyl chains to PDMA and PDEA rendered them compatible with the formation of a layered structure, as shown by X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the control of the spacer length affects optical properties and environmental stability, which is enhanced for longer alkyl chains and bromide compositions. This provides insights into their design for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
In the last decade, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have undergone unprecedented rapid development and become a promising candidate for a new-generation solar cell. Among various PSCs, typical 3D halide perovskite-based PSCs deliver the highest efficiency but they suffer from severe instability, which restricts their practical applications. By contrast, the low-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite-based PSCs have recently raised increasing attention due to their superior stability. Yet, the efficiency of RP perovskite-based PSCs is still far from that of the 3D counterparts owing to the difficulty in fabricating high-quality RP perovskite films. In pursuit of high-efficiency RP perovskite-based PSCs, it is critical to manipulate the film formation process to prepare high-quality RP perovskite films. This review aims to provide comprehensive understanding of the high-quality RP-type perovskite film formation by investigating the influential factors. On this basis, several strategies to improve the RP perovskite film quality are proposed via summarizing the recent progress and efforts on the preparation of high-quality RP perovskite film. This review will provide useful guidelines for a better understanding of the crystallization and phase kinetics during RP perovskite film formation process and the design and development of high-performance RP perovskite-based PSCs, promoting the commercialization of PSC technology.

Abstract
2D organic-inorganic hybrid Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPPs) have recently attracted increasing attention due to their excellent environmental stability, high degree of electronic tunability, and natural multiquantum-well structures. Although there is a rapid development of photoelectronic applications in solar cells, photodetectors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers based on 2D RPPs, the state-of-the-art performance is far inferior to that of the existing devices because of the limited understanding on fundamental physics, especially special photophysics in carrier dynamics, excitonic fine structures, excitonic quasiparticles, and spin-related effect. Thus, there is still plenty of room to improve the performances of photoelectronic devices based on 2D RPPs by enhancing knowledge on fundamental photophysics. This review highlights the special photophysics of 2D RPPs that is fundamentally different from the conventional 3D congeners. It also provides the most recent progress, debates, challenges, prospects, and in-depth understanding of photophysics in 2D perovskites, which is significant for not only boosting performance of solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, but also future development of applications in lasers, spintronics, quantum information, and integrated photonic chips.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskites have received great attention in light-emitting applications due to their excellent properties, including high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), tunable emission wavelength, and facile solution preparation. In spite of excellent characteristics, the presence of toxic element lead directly obstructs their further commercial development. Hence, exploiting lead-free halide perovskite materials with superior properties is urgent and necessary. In this review, the deep-seated reasons that benefit light emission for halide perovskites, which help to develop lead-free halide perovskites with excellent performance, are first emphasized. Recent advances in lead-free halide perovskite materials (single crystals, thin films, and nanocrystals with different dimensionalities) from synthesis, crystal structures, optical and optoelectronic properties to applications are then systematically summarized. In particular, phosphor-converted LEDs and electroluminescent LEDs using lead-free halide perovskites are fully examined. Ultimately, based on current development of lead-free halide perovskites, the future directions of lead-free halide perovskites in terms of materials and light-emitting devices are discussed.

Abstract
Two dimensional (2D) layered hybrid lead halide perovskites are a fascinating class of semiconductors displaying a plethora of interesting optoelectronic properties with potential for application in solar cells, light emitting diodes, etc. Most of these properties can be linked to their repeating quantum well-like structures providing 2D excitons. In this perspective, we discuss how dielectric confinement of excitons originates in these layered hybrid perovskites, and then, how it can be used to tune the excitonic properties. In particular, we discuss the recent theoretical and experimental advances correlating dielectric confinement with chemical composition, excitonic binding energy, and optoelectronic property. The freedom from the restrictions of the Goldsmith tolerance factor allows the synthesis of hundreds of compositions of 2D layered hybrid perovskites by independently varying the organic and inorganic layers. We envisage that the combination of this compositional flexibility with the concepts of dielectric confinement discussed in this perspective would be a path forward for designing novel optoelectronic materials.

Abstract
Recently, halide perovskites have appeared as a superior class of materials for diverse applications, mainly in optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Perovskite halides are broadly classified as hybrid organic-inorganic and all-inorganic analogues depending on the chemical nature of the A cation in the ABX3-type structure. Immense progress has already been achieved in halide perovskites focusing mainly on the hybrid equivalents and all-inorganic three-dimensional (3D) structures, however all-inorganic two-dimensional (2D) layered halide perovskites are relatively new and their nanostructures have gained significant attention in the last few years. In this minireview, we presented a discussion on the recently developed all-inorganic 2D layered halide perovskites highlighting their crystal structure, synthetic methodologies, chemical transformations, and optical properties. We have demonstrated a significant number of examples of Pb-free 2D halide perovskite nanostructures. Strategies for the shape-controlled synthesis of nanostructures and their excitonic properties are discussed in detail. Thermal conductivity and thermoelectric properties are emphasized along with the magnetic properties of layered transition-metal based perovskites. We have also mentioned the recent examples of all-inorganic 2D halide perovskites as photocatalysts for solar-driven CO2 reduction. Finally, we have concluded the article with an outlook for the further progress in 2D all-inorganic halide perovskites toward the structural diversity and prospective new applications.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites feature crystalline-like electronic band structures and liquid-like physical properties. The crystal–liquid duality enables optoelectronic devices with unprecedented performance and a unique opportunity to chemically manipulate the structure with low energy input. In this work, we leverage the low formation energy of metal halide perovskites to demonstrate multicolor reversible chromism. We synthesized layered Ruddlesden-Popper FAn+1PbnX3n+1 (FA = formamidinium, X = I, Br; n = number of layers = 1, 2, 3 … ∞) and reversibly tune the dimensionality (n) by modulating the strength and number of H-bonds in the system. H-bonding was controlled by exposure to solvent vapor (solvatochromism) or temperature change (thermochromism), which shuttles FAX salt pairs between the FAn+1PbnX3n+1 domains and adjacent FAX “reservoir” domains. Unlike traditional chromic materials that only offer a single-color transition, FAn+1PbnX3n+1 films reversibly switch between multiple colors including yellow, orange, red, brown, and white/colorless. Each colored phase exhibits distinct optoelectronic properties characteristic of 2D superlattice materials with tunable quantum well thickness. Metal halide perovskites feature crystalline-like electronic band structures and liquid-like physical properties that allow chemical manipulation of the structure with low energy input. Here, the authors leverage the low formation energy of 2D metal halide perovskites to demonstrate films that reversibly switch between multiple colors using tunable quantum well thickness.

Abstract
![]()
Low-dimensional hybrid perovskite
materials offer significantly
improved stability as well as an extensive compositional space to
explore. However, they suffer from poor photovoltaic performance as
compared to the 3D perovskite materials because of poor charge-transport
properties. Herein, we present the concept of internal dye-sensitized
hybrid perovskite compounds involving five novel low-dimensional perovskite-type
materials 1–5 incorporating triarylmethane,
phenazinium and near-infrared (NIR) cyanine cationic dyes, respectively.
The synthesis characterization and theoretical analysis of these compounds
are presented. Theoretical calculations provide interesting insights
into the effects of these dyes on the band structure of the low-dimensional
anionic metal-halides and especially highlight compound 1 as a promising photovoltaic candidate. Solar cell investigation
of devices based on 1 were conducted. The results show
an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of about 0.1%, which
is among the highest reported for a 1D material despite the use of
undoped Spiro-OMeTAD as the hole-transport material (HTM). Incident
photon-to-electron efficiency (IPCE) spectra confirm the contribution
of the dye to the overall photocurrent of the solar cell. Moreover,
examination of solar cell devices based on the bismuth-based compound 5 resulted in PCEs in the range of 0.1%. This illustrates
the potential of this concept to be exploited for lead-free photovoltaics.
Finally automated robotized screening of low-dimensional hybrid perovskite
materials through the screening robot PROTEUS has emerged as a powerful
tool in the search for novel perovskite-like materials. Our work highlights
that the use of cationic dyes could induce interesting sensitizing
properties to low-dimensional metal-halide chains and may therefore
provide inspiration and new design strategies for the synthesis of
new lead-free photovoltaic materials

Abstract
Three-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have been demonstrated as great materials for applications in optoelectronics and photonics. However, their inherent instabilities in the presence of moisture, light, and heat may hinder their commercialization. Alternatively, emerging two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have recently attracted increasing attention owing to their great environmental stability and inherent natural quantum-well structure. In this work, we have synthesized a high-quality long-chain organic diammonium spacer assisted 2D hybrid perovskite FA-(N-MPDA)PbBr4 (FA = formamidinium and N-MPDA = N-methylpropane-1,3-diammonium) by the slow evaporation at constant temperature method. The millimeter-sized single-crystalline microrods demonstrate low threshold random lasing behavior at room temperature. The single-crystalline 2D hybrid perovskite random laser achieved a very narrow linewidth (∼0.1 nm) with a low threshold (∼0.5 μJ cm-2) and a high quality factor (∼5350). Furthermore, the 2D hybrid microrod laser shows stable lasing emission with no measurable degradation after at least 2 h under continuous illumination, which substantially proves the stability of 2D perovskites. Our results demonstrate the promise of 2D organic-inorganic microrod-shaped perovskites and provide an important step toward the realization of high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Recently, newly emerging lead halide perovskites have attracted great attention as a new class of light emitters in luminescent devices because of their superior photoluminescence quantum yield, adjustable emission wavelength, high charge-carrier transport ability, and low-temperature processing technique. However, the poor stability and lead toxicity of such materials severely restrict their practical applications and future commercialization. Therefore, recent efforts have been devoted to developing lead-free metal halide perovskites and their derivatives to address the above hurdles. In this Perspective, we first review the recent progress on the lead-free metal halide materials and their optical properties. We then discuss the stability issues of lead-free perovskites against heat, ultraviolet light, oxygen, and moisture. Further, we give a demonstration of the preliminary achievements and limitations in lead-free material-based light-emitting devices. Finally, we present current existing challenges and possible development opportunities in this field based on lead-free material systems.

Abstract
Currently, the blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) suffer from a compromise in lead toxicity and poor operation stability, and most previous studies have struggled to meet the crucial blue NTSC standard. In this study, electrically driven deep-blue LEDs (∼445 nm) based on zero-dimensional (0D) Cs3Cu2I5 nanocrystals (NCs) were demonstrated with the color coordinates of (0.16, 0.07) and a high external quantum efficiency of ∼1.12%, comparable with the best-performing blue LEDs based on lead-halide perovskites. Encouraged by the remarkable stability of Cs3Cu2I5 NCs against heat and environmental oxygen/moisture, the proposed device was operated in a continuous current mode for 170 h, producing a record half-lifetime of ∼108 h. The device stability was further verified by an aggressive thermal cycling test (300-360-300 K) and a 35-day storage test. Together with the eco-friendly features and facile colloidal synthesis technique, the 0D Cs3Cu2I5 NCs can be therefore regarded as a promising candidate for deep-blue LEDs applications.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is pivotal in multiple gas-involved energy conversion technologies, such as water splitting, rechargeable metal-air batteries, and CO2 /N2 electrolysis. Emerging anion-redox chemistry provides exciting opportunities for boosting catalytic activity, and thus mastering lattice-oxygen activation of metal oxides and identifying the origins are crucial for the development of advanced catalysts. Here, a strategy to activate surface lattice-oxygen sites for OER catalysis via constructing a Ruddlesden-Popper/perovskite hybrid, which is prepared by a facile one-pot self-assembly method, is developed. As a proof-of-concept, the unique hybrid catalyst (RP/P-LSCF) consists of a dominated Ruddlesden-Popper phase LaSr3 Co1.5 Fe1.5 O10-δ (RP-LSCF) and second perovskite phase La0.25 Sr0.75 Co0.5 Fe0.5 O3-δ (P-LSCF), displaying exceptional OER activity. The RP/P-LSCF achieves 10 mA cm-2 at a low overpotential of only 324 mV in 0.1 m KOH, surpassing the benchmark RuO2 and various state-of-the-art metal oxides ever reported for OER, while showing significantly higher activity and stability than single RP-LSCF oxide. The high catalytic performance for RP/P-LSCF is attributed to the strong metal-oxygen covalency and high oxygen-ion diffusion rate resulting from the phase mixture, which likely triggers the surface lattice-oxygen activation to participate in OER. The success of Ruddlesden-Popper/perovskite hybrid construction creates a new direction to design advanced catalysts for various energy applications.
