Abstract
Metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are one of the most promising emitters for the application of display and nanolight sources. The full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of photoluminescence (PL) emission is essential for color purity, which however remains a difficulty to further reduce the FWHM of the perovskite NCs at room temperature. Here, we show the quasi-sphere perovskite NCs with narrow PL emission at a deep-blue wavelength of ∼430 nm; its PL FWHM reaches ∼11 nm at room temperature, owing to the monodispersion in size distribution as well as the symmetric quasi-sphere morphology of NCs releasing the fine structure splitting-induced inhomogeneous broadening. Through regulating A cations with respect to the ratio of FA (or MA)-to-Cs and Cs-to-Pb, the PL emission of the NCs could be tuned from ∼505 to ∼430 nm combined with varied morphologies from large cube to small quasi-sphere. Such spectroscopic and morphological discrepancies are supposed to be attributed to the different crystalline kinetics that is strongly dependent on the synthetic condition. To be specific, in the case of increasing FA (or MA)-to-Cs, the growth rate of CsPbBr3 and FAPbBr3 (or MAPbBr3) perovskites is determined by the reactivity of transient species, while in the case of decreasing the Cs-to-Pb ratio, the growth rate of perovskites is slowed down by the serious reduction of Cs+ in the precursor. This study provides an effective strategy to adjust the emission across from green to deep-blue color and promotes the perovskite NCs with a narrow FWHM, and tunable PL emission facilitates in application of optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) multilayer Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phase organic inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) have attracted extensive research attention due to the high stability and excellent charge-transport properties in the optoelectronic field. However, the synthesis of 2D multilayer DJ OIHPs is still very challenging. Until now, only few multilayer DJ perovskites have been reported and most of them are based on volatile methylamine (MA) cations. Compared with MA-based OIHPs, the OIHPs constructed with formamidinium (FA) as perovskitizers not only improve the stability but also extend the light absorption range. Meanwhile, the introducing aromatic diamines as spacers could promote the electron-hole separation in such DJ hybrids. However, the DJ OIHP bulk single crystal constructed by using the advantages of FA as perovskitizers and aromatic diamines as spacers is still blank. Herein, we integrate the properties of organic cations and inorganic skeletons at a molecular-scale to construct a broadband-responsive 2D bilayer DJ perovskite (3AMPY)(FA)Pb2I7 [3AMPY = 3-(aminomethyl)pyridinium], which shows a fascinating detectivity from X-ray (5.23 × 104 μC Gyair-1 cm-2 at 200 V bias) and visible light (6 × 1012 jones at 637 nm) to the near-infrared region (2.6 × 109 jones at 780 nm). After an in-depth analysis of structure and optical properties, we found that the distortion degree of Pb-I-Pb bond angles between adjacent PbI6 octahedra plays a crucial role on optical properties; on the other hand, the interlayer spacer cations (3AMPY) and intralayer perovskitizers (FA) mutual participate in the contribution of the conduction band, making (3AMPY)(FA)Pb2I7 have a narrow optical band gap of 1.54 eV. Such a 2D perovskite material with a wide spectra response will be the preferred choice for photodetection under complex conditions.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) halide perovskites have attracted enormous research interest, but the choice of the A-site cations is limited by the Goldschmidt tolerance factor. In order to accommodate cations that lie outside the acceptable range of the tolerance factor, low-dimensional structures usually form. To maintain the favorable 3D connection, the links among the metal-halide octahedra need to be rearranged to fit the large cations. This can result in a departure from the proper corner-sharing perovskite architectures and lead to distinctly different perovskitoid motifs with edge- and face-sharing. In this work, we report four new 3D bromide perovskitoids incorporating linear organic diammonium cations, A'Pb2Br6 (A' is a +2 cation). We propose a rule that can guide the further expansion of this class of compounds, analogous to the notion of Goldschmidt tolerance factor widely adopted for 3D AMX3 perovskites. The fundamental building blocks in A'Pb2Br6 consist of two edge-shared octahedra, which are then connected by corner-sharing to form a 3D network. Different compounds adopt different structural motifs, which can be transformed from one to another by symmetry operations. Electronic structure calculations suggest that they are direct bandgap semiconductors, with relatively large band dispersions created by octahedra connected by corner-sharing. They exhibit similar electronic band structures and dynamic lattice characteristics to the regular 3D AMX3 perovskites. Structures with smaller Pb-Br-Pb angles and larger octahedra distortion exhibit broad photoluminescence at room temperature. The emerging structure-property relationships in these 3D perovskitoids set the foundation for designing and investigating these compounds for a variety of optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
It is well established that the lack of understanding the crystallization process in a two-step sequential deposition has a direct impact on efficiency, stability, and reproducibility of perovskite solar cells. Here, we try to understand the solid-solid phase transition occurring during the two-step sequential deposition of methylammonium lead iodide and formamidinium lead iodide. Using metadynamics, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy, we reveal the microscopic details of this process. We find that the formation of perovskite proceeds through intermediate structures and report polymorphs found for methylammonium lead iodide and formamidinium lead iodide. From simulations, we discover a possible crystallization pathway for the highly efficient metastable α phase of formamidinium lead iodide. Guided by these simulations, we perform experiments that result in the low-temperature crystallization of phase-pure α-formamidinium lead iodide.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites have emerged as outstanding semiconducting materials thanks to their superior stability and structural diversity. However, the ever-growing field of optoelectronic device research using 2D perovskites requires systematic understanding of the effects of the spacer on the structure, properties, and device performance. So far, many studies are based on trial-and-error tests of random spacers with limited ability to predict the resulting structure of these synthetic experiments, hindering the discovery of novel 2D materials to be incorporated into high-performance devices. In this review, we provide guidelines on successfully choosing spacers and incorporating them into crystalline materials and optoelectronic devices. We first provide a summary of various synthetic methods to act as a tutorial for groups interested in pursuing synthesis of novel 2D perovskites. Second, we provide our insights on what kind of spacer cations can stabilize 2D perovskites followed by an extensive review of the spacer cations, which have been shown to stabilize 2D perovskites with an emphasis on the effects of the spacer on the structure and optical properties. Next, we provide a similar explanation for the methods used to fabricate films and their desired properties. Like the synthesis section, we will then focus on various spacers that have been used in devices and how they influence the film structure and device performance. With a comprehensive understanding of these effects, a rational selection of novel spacers can be made, accelerating this already exciting field.

Abstract
Temperature-responsive materials with switching physical properties have been widely researched. Among them, the switchable dielectric perovskite materials show potential applications in the electrical and electronic industries and even the intelligence industries. However, perovskite oxides and hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, as the most representative switchable dielectric materials, are limited by bad biocompatibility. Herein, we report temperature-dielectric-responsive metal-free perovskite (H2dabco)(NH4)[BF4]3 constructed by the strategy of substituting the B site in the general formula ABX3 (doubly protonated 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane = H2dabco). Meanwhile, structurally similar hybrid material (H2dabco)Rb[BF4]3 was designed as a control. They exhibit similar phase-transition characteristics and dielectric response behaviors around 333 K. More interestingly, the ordered-disordered transformation of their organic "spherical" cations (H2dabco) was deemed to produce their phase transitions and dielectric response switching. Given its ability to generate a dielectric response, (H2dabco)(NH4)[BF4]3 will show the potential application of metal-free perovskite in a future thermal sensing device.

Abstract
The development of visible-light active photocatalysts is a current challenge especially energy and environmental-related fields. Herein, methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAIPb) was chosen as the novel semiconductor material for its ability of absorbing visible-light. An easily reproducible and efficient method was employed to synthesize the as-mentioned material. The sample was characterized by various techniques and has been used as visible-light photocatalyst for degradation of two model pollutants: rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene-blue (MB). The photo-degradation of RhB was found to achieve about 65% after 180 min of treatment. Moreover, the efficiency was enhanced to 100% by assisting the process with a small amount of H2O2. The visible-light activity of the photocatalyst was attributed to its ability to absorb light as well as to enhance separation of photogenerated carriers. The main outcome of the present work is the investigation of a hybrid perovskite as photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Hybrid halide perovskites (HP) have emerged in the last decade as a new class of semiconductors with superior performances in photovoltaic and electronic devices. The literature about these halide semiconductors is abundant and a lot of names/expressions are used to define networks, structures, or materials. In this context, there is a need to offer some discussions about the relevance of using the word "perovskite" and the associated expressions ("RP" (Ruddlesden-Popper), "DJ" (Dion-Jacobson), "ACI" (alternating cations in the interlayer space), "hexagonal perovskites", "hollow perovskites", "d-HP" (deficient 3D HP),…). Moreover, the description of perovskite networks through elimination/substitution processes from the ABX3 structure will be compared to the known dimensional reduction concept.

Abstract
Hybrid halide perovskites are now superstar materials leading the field of low-cost thin film photovoltaics technologies. Following the surge for more efficient and stable 3D bulk alloys, multilayered halide perovskites and colloidal perovskite nanostructures appeared in 2016 as viable alternative solutions to this challenge, largely exceeding the original proof of concept made in 2009 and 2014, respectively. This triggered renewed interest in lower-dimensional hybrid halide perovskites and at the same time increasingly more numerous and differentiated applications. The present paper is a review of the past and present literature on both colloidal nanostructures and multilayered compounds, emphasizing that availability of accurate structural information is of dramatic importance to reach a fair understanding of quantum and dielectric confinement effects. Layered halide perovskites occupy a special place in the history of halide perovskites, with a large number of seminal papers in the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years, the rationalization of structure-properties relationship has greatly benefited from new theoretical approaches dedicated to their electronic structures and optoelectronic properties, as well as a growing number of contributions based on modern experimental techniques. This is a necessary step to provide in-depth tools to decipher their extensive chemical engineering possibilities which surpass the ones of their 3D bulk counterparts. Comparisons to classical semiconductor nanostructures and 2D van der Waals heterostructures are also stressed. Since 2015, colloidal nanostructures have undergone a quick development for applications based on light emission. Although intensively studied in the last two years by various spectroscopy techniques, the description of quantum and dielectric confinement effects on their optoelectronic properties is still in its infancy.

Abstract
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives as promising hole transport materials in assembling hybrid halide perovskite solar cells have attracted great attention; however, electron transfer or charge-transfer (CT) between TTF and metal halides has been studied with less detail at the molecular level. Using molecular models, we herein report four new TTF-bismuth-halides assembled by methylated or protonated bis(4'-pyridyl)-tetrathiafulvalene cations, (MePy)2TTF or (HPy)2TTF, and bismuth-halide anions. Single crystal analysis showed that the cations are stacked to form a TTF column, and the bismuth-halide anions are inlaid between the TTF columns with anion-cation interactions. In these compounds, the main contribution to CT is the intracation CT, namely intramolecular CT (IMCT) from TTF moiety to pyridinium group. However, the anion to cation CT (ACCT) has a significant effect on the IMCT and physical properties. The different anion-cation interaction modes result in different synergistic effects of IMCT and ACCT, which modified the band gaps and photocurrent properties of the hybrids. The research gives a clear image of structure-property relationship and provides a perspective on the design of new perovskite materials at the molecular level.
