Abstract
Compared to 3D perovskites, 2D perovskites exhibit excellent stability, structural diversity, and tunable bandgaps, making them highly promising for applications in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. However, the trade-off for worse charge transport is a critical issue that needs to be addressed. This comprehensive review first discusses the structure of 3D and 2D metal halide perovskites, then summarizes the significant factors influencing charge transport in detail and provides a brief overview of the testing methods. Subsequently, various strategies to improve the charge transport are presented, including tuning A'-site organic spacer cations, A-site cations, B-site metal cations, and X-site halide ions. Finally, an outlook on the future development of improving the 2D perovskites' charge transport is discussed.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2304332.

Abstract
The 2D aromatic Dion-Jacobson (DJ) hybrid perovskites combining advantages of high stability, enhanced light absorption, and favorable charge transport, are regarded as a kind of very promising materials for high-performance optoelectronic applications. However, due to the rigidity and large size of the aromatic ring, how to further reduce the interlayer distance to achieve better carrier transport and wider light response window still remain extremely challenging. Here, an interesting DJ-to-ACI (alternating-cations-interaction) reconstruction in 2D aromatic perovskite is first realized by inserting MA+ cations into (4-AP)PbI4 (1, 4-AP = 4-amidinopyridinium), successfully constructing an unprecedented ACI perovskite of (4-AP)(MA)2 Pb2 I8 (2, MA = methylamine). Remarkably, such a DJ-to-ACI reconstruction not only effectively reduces the interlayer spacing from 3.89 to 3.15 Å but also alleviates the structural distortion, which jointly causes a significant bandgap narrowing from 2.22 to 1.95 eV (smaller than all current 2D monolayered DJ perovskites), hence achieving a broad photodetection window over 660 nm. This work reports a novel narrow bandgap 2D ACI perovskite derived from the aromatic DJ motif, which sheds light on future regulations on the structure and properties of hybrid perovskites.

Abstract
The organic spacer molecule is known to regulate the optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) perovskites. We show that the spacer layer thickness determines the nature of optical transitions, direct or indirect, by controlling the structural properties of the inorganic layer. The spin-orbit interactions lead to different electron spin orientations for the states associated with the conduction band minimum (CBM) and the valence band maximum (VBM). This leads to a direct as well as an indirect component of the transitions, despite them being direct in momentum space. The shorter chains have a larger direct component, leading to a better optoelectronic performance. The mixed halide Sn2+ Dion-Jacobson (DJ) perovskite with the shortest 4-C diammonium spacer outshines the photodetection parameters of those having longer (6-C and 8-C) spacers and the corresponding Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases. The DJ system with a 4-C spacer and equimolar Br/I embodies an unprecedentedly high responsivity of 78.1 A W-1 under 3 V potential bias at 485 nm wavelength, among the DJ perovskites. Without any potential bias, this phase manifests the self-powered photodetection parameters of 0.085 A W-1 and 9.9 × 1010 jones. The unusual role of electron spin texture in these high-performance photodetectors of the lead-free DJ perovskites provides an avenue to exploit the information coded in spins for semiconductor devices without any ferromagnetic supplement or magnetic field.

Abstract
New perovskite phases having diverse optoelectronic properties are the need of the hour. We present five variations of R2AgM(iii)X8, where R = NH3C4H8NH3 (4N4) or NH3C6H12NH3 (6N6); M(iii) = Bi3+ or Sb3+; and X = Br- or I-, by tuning the composition of (4N4)2AgBiBr8, a structurally rich hybrid layered double perovskite (HLDP). (4N4)2AgBiBr8, (4N4)2AgSbBr8, and (6N6)2AgBiBr8 crystallize as Dion-Jacobson (DJ) HLDPs, whereas 1D (6N6)SbBr5, (4N4)-BiI and (4N4)-SbI have trans-connected chains by corner-shared octahedra. Ag+ stays out of the 1D lattice either when SbBr63- distortion is high or if Ag+ needs to octahedrally coordinate with I-. Band structure calculations show a direct bandgap for all the bromide phases except (6N6)2AgBiBr8. (4N4)2AgBiBr8 with lower octahedral tilt shows a maximum UV responsivity of 18.8 ± 0.2 A W-1 and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6360 ± 58%, at 2.5 V. When self-powered (0 V), (4N4)-SbI has the best responsivity of 11.7 ± 0.2 mA W-1 under 485 nm visible light, with fast photoresponse ≤100 ms.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite materials demonstrate immense potential for photovoltaic and electronic applications. In particular, two-dimensional (2D) layered metal halide perovskites have advantages over their 3D counterparts in optoelectronic applications due to their outstanding stability, structural flexibility with a tunable bandgap, and electronic confinement effect. This review article first analyzes the crystallography of different 2D perovskite phases [the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase, the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phase, and the alternating cations in the interlayer space (ACI) phase] at the molecular level and compares their common electronic properties, such as out-of-plane conductivity, crucial to vertical devices. This paper then critically reviews the recent development of optoelectronic devices, namely solar cells, photodetectors and field effect transistors, based on layered 2D perovskite materials and points out their limitations and potential compared to their 3D counterparts. It also identifies the important application-specific future research directions for different optoelectronic devices providing a comprehensive view guiding new research directions in this field.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have emerged as multifunctional materials with remarkable optical and electronic properties. In particular, 2D-layered lead iodide-based HOIPs possess great practical application potential in the photoelectric field. In this work, we report H/F substitution-induced 1D-to-2D increment of lead iodide HOIPs. The enantiomeric HOIPs, S- and R-FPPbI3 (FP = 3-fluoropyrrolidinium), were achieved by monofluoride substitution on the spacer cations of the parent HOIP, PyPbI3 (Py = pyrrolidinium), showing mirror image structural relationship and reversible solid-state phase transition. A 2D-layered HOIP, (DFP)2PbI4 (DFP = 3,3-difluoropyrrolidinium), was achieved with a low band gap of 2.09 eV through difluoride substitution, thanks to the expansion of the Pb-I network from 1D to 2D. This work highlights the exploration of 1D chiral and 2D-layered HOIP materials with reversible phase transitions through H/F substitution strategies.

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
Although research on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) has grown exponentially in the past two decades, the high phase transition temperature of OIHP materials is still one of the insurmountable difficulties. Herein, a series of A2BX4 type OIHP materials [(2,n-DFBA)2PbCl4] (n = 3, for 1; n = 4, for 2; n = 5, for 3; n = 6, for 4) have been prepared by reactions of double-substituted difluorobenzylamine (difluorobenzylamine = DFBA) with lead chloride in concentrated HCl aqueous solution. It was found the OIHP compounds 1-3 proceed a switchable phase transition with phase transition temperatures (Tc) at 449 K (1), 462 K (2) and 500 K (3), higher than that of the parent compound [(BA)2PbCl4] (BA = benzylammonium) at 438 K, but compound 4 exhibits no phase transition. A crystal structure analysis elucidated that the organic template ligands DFBA lead in the inorganic part in compounds 1-3 to a two-dimensional (2D) perovskite structure, while that in compound 4 leads to a one-dimensional (1D) chain structure. The different double-substituted positions of fluorine atoms on benzylamine have important influences on the phase transition in compounds 1-4.

Abstract
Crystalline materials have received extensive attention due to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. Among them, phase transition materials have attracted great attention in the fields of photovoltaic, switchable dielectric devices, and ferroelectric memories, etc. However, many of them suffer from low phase transition temperatures, which limits their practical application. In this work, we systematically designed crystalline materials, (TMXM)2 PtCl6 (X=F, Cl, Br, I) through halogen substitution on the cations, aiming to improving phase transition temperature. The resulting phase transition of (TMXM)2 PtCl6 (X=F, Cl, Br, I) get a significant enhancement, compared to the parent compound [(CH3 )4 N]2 PtCl6 ((TM)2 PtCl6 ). Such phase transition temperature enhancement can be attributed to the introduction of halogen atoms that increase the potential energy barrier of the cation rotation. In addition, (TMBM)2 PtCl6 and (TMIM)2 PtCl6 have a low symmetry and crystallize in the space group C2 /c and P21 21 21 , respectively. This work highlights the halogen substitution in designing crystal materials with high phase transition temperature.

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.

Phase transitions of hybrid materials have aroused widespread concern and call for an in-depth study on its structure design, because the structure and characteristics are closely related, which promote potential applications in the field of temperature sensors, dielectric switches, and actuators. However, designing materials with multiple phase transitions and a high phase transition temperature (Tr) remains a huge challenge. In order to deal with this key hurdle, we tried to regulate the structural components and successfully synthesized [MASD]2[CdCl4] (1, MASD = 8-methyl-5-azoniaspiro[4,5]decane), which displays multiple phase transitions occurring at 273.8 K and 395.9 K separately. The Tr has significantly increased compared with the parent compounds reported previously. As the temperature sensitivity of compound 1 is constant at different frequencies, it can be applied for detectors or sensors under frequency-independent or wide frequency conditions. Moreover, methylation design strategy evidently triggered the dual dielectric switch and improved the Tr, which opens a new path for finding and adjusting ideal materials of multiple phase transition.
