Abstract
One of the primary methods for band gap tuning in metal halide perovskites has been halide (I/Br) mixing. Despite widespread usage of this type of chemical substitution in perovskite photovoltaics, there is still little understanding of the structural impacts of halide alloying, with the assumption being the formation of ideal solid solutions. The FASnI3-xBrx (x = 0-3) family of compounds provides the first example where the assumption breaks down, as the composition space is broken into two unique regimes (x = 0-2.9; x = 2.9-3) based on their average structure with the former having a 3D and the latter having an extended 3D (pseudo 0D) structure. Pair distribution function (PDF) analyses further suggest a dynamic 5s2 lone pair expression resulting in increasing levels of off-centering of the central Sn as the Br concentration is increased. These antiferroelectric distortions indicate that even the x = 0-2.9 phase space behaves as a nonideal solid-solution on a more local scale. Solid-state NMR confirms the difference in local structure yielding greater insight into the chemical nature and local distributions of the FA+ cation. In contrast to the FAPbI3-xBrx series, a drastic photoluminescence (PL) quenching is observed with x ≥ 1.9 compounds having no observable PL. Our detailed studies attribute this quenching to structural transitions induced by the distortions of the [SnBr6] octahedra in response to stereochemically expressed lone pairs of electrons. This is confirmed through density functional theory, having a direct impact on the electronic structure.

Abstract
As the concept of high-entropy alloying (HEA) extends beyond metals, new materials screening methods are needed. Halide perovskites (HP) are a prime case study because greater stability is needed for photovoltaics applications, and there are 322 experimentally observed HP end-members, which leads to more than 1057 potential alloys. We screen HEAHP by first calculating the configurational entropy of 106 equimolar alloys with experimentally observed end-members. To estimate enthalpy at low computational cost, we turn to the delta-lattice parameter approach, a well-known method for predicting III-V alloy miscibility. To generalize the approach for non-cubic crystals, we introduce the parameter of unit cell volume coefficient of variation (UCV), which does a good job of predicting the experimental HP miscibility data. We use plots of entropy stabilization versus UCV to screen promising alloys and identify 102 HEAHP of interest.

Abstract
The development of large-scale, high-quality ferroelectric semiconductor nanowire arrays with interesting light-emitting properties can address limitations in traditional wide-bandgap ferroelectrics, thus serving as building blocks for innovative device architectures and next-generation high-density optoelectronics. Here, we investigate the optical properties of ferroelectric CsGeX3 (X = Br, I) halide perovskite nanowires that are epitaxially grown on muscovite mica substrates by vapor phase deposition. Detailed structural characterizations reveal an incommensurate heteroepitaxial relationship with the mica substrate. Furthermore, photoluminescence that can be tuned from yellow-green to red emissions by varying the halide composition demonstrates that these nanowire networks can serve as platforms for future optoelectronic applications. In addition, the room-temperature ferroelectricity and ferroelectric domain structures of these nanowires are characterized using second harmonic generation (SHG) polarimetry. The combination of room-temperature ferroelectricity with photoluminescence in these nanowire arrays unlocks new avenues for the design of novel multifunctional materials.

Abstract
Low-dimensional Bi/Sb-based organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) have attracted immense attention from the research community because of their structural diversity and efficient luminescence properties. Further understanding of the relationship between the structure and luminescence properties of these materials is of utmost importance for tuning the luminescence properties for various practical applications. Herein, we have synthesized two lead-free Bi/Sb-based novel OIMHs, (3,5-DMP)2BiCl5 and (3,5-DMP)2SbCl5 [(3,5-DMP) = 3,5-dimethylpiperidine], with zero-dimensional (0D) structures and crystallizing in triclinic (P1 ¯ space group) and monoclinic (P21/c space group) crystal systems, respectively. Both the compounds behave as typical semiconductors with indirect optical band gaps of 3.34 and 3.36 eV for pristine Bi and Sb compounds. These compounds exhibit higher environmental and thermal stability at ambient conditions. Gradual substitution of Sb at the Bi site in (3,5-DMP)2Bi1-xSbxCl5 resulted in the introduction of structural strain due to the significant expression of the lone pair effect, thus leading to a structural transition from the triclinic to monoclinic phase. The effect of the structural phase transition on the optical properties is also studied in (3,5-DMP)2Bi1-xSbxCl5. This work may offer new direction and guidance for exploring various 0D hybrid metal halides and tuning the structures for improvement in the luminescence properties.

Abstract
Extensive research has been dedicated to exploring the potential applications of organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides in optoelectronics. This study presents findings on three metal halides based on phenylbutanammonium (PBA). Specifically, (PBA)2MnBr4(H2O)2 and (PBA)2Sn(IV)Cl6 exhibit zero-dimensional structures with P21/c and Pnma space groups, respectively, while (PBA)2Sn(II)Br4 features a two-dimensional structure with P1̅ space group. Under UV excitation, (PBA)2MnBr4(H2O)2 exhibits double emission arising from the 4T1 → 6A1 transitions of Mn2+ in two distinct coordination environments. The emission spectrum of (PBA)2SnCl6 aligns with that of PBACl, suggesting that the luminescence originates from the organic component. The yellow emission of (PBA)2SnBr4 is attributed to the self-trapped excitons. This study introduces the PBA series of compounds, revealing that varying metal ions and halogen combinations can adjust the structural dimensions and influence optical properties. The insights gained from this work serve as a guide for the preparation of efficient white light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
Designing two-dimensional halide perovskites for high-performance optoelectronic applications requires deep understanding of the structure-property relationship that governs their excitonic behaviors. However, a design framework that considers both intra and interlayer structures modified by the A-site and spacer cations, respectively, has not been developed. Here, we use pressure to synergistically tune the intra and interlayer structures and uncover the structural modulations that result in improved optoelectronic performance. Under applied pressure, (BA)2(GA)Pb2I7 exhibits a 72-fold boost of photoluminescence and 10-fold increase of photoconductivity. Based on the observed structural change, we introduce a structural descriptor χ that describes both the intra and interlayer characteristics and establish a general quantitative relationship between χ and photoluminescence quantum yield: smaller χ correlates with minimized trapped excitons and more efficient emission from free excitons. Building on this principle, we design a perovskite (CMA)2(FA)Pb2I7 that exhibits a small χ and an impressive photoluminescence quantum yield of 59.3%.

Abstract
Low-dimensional (LD) organic metal halides (OMHs) have a bright future due to their excellent photoelectric characteristics and unique structure. However, the synthesis and emission control of LD-OMHs are still unclear. Herein, the different dimensional (zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), and three-dimensional (3D)) of OMHs were obtained by the reaction of 1,4-diazabicyclo (2.2.2) octane with PbBr2 in different stoichiometric ratios. This discovery shows that the structure and properties of OMHs can be regulated while maintaining the functional organic cations of OMHs, which broadens the path for the development of functional LD-OMHs. Among them, 0D-OMH 1 and 1D-OMH 3 have narrow-band (full width at half-maximum (fwhm) = 74 nm) and broad-band (fwhm = 201 nm) emission, respectively. We found that when organic cations have no contribution to the formation of conduction band minimum and valence band maximum, and the distances between polyhedrons are larger than the van der Waals diameter of the halogen atom, the effect of phonons on exciton transitions can be reduced to achieve a narrow-band emission. Further, Cu(I)- and Mn (II)-based 0D-OMHs were synthesized, which have high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) (33.97 and 47.33%, respectively). When the emitting of 0D-OMHs produced by the interaction of the metal-center and halogens, the asymmetric planar metal-halogen structure will result in a higher PLQY.

Abstract
ConspectusEmergent metal halides are generating significant interest as novel optical materials, and their diverse applications have brought them to the spotlight of chemistry and material science. The optical properties of semiconducting metal halides are fundamentally dominated by excitonic transitions, which refer to the complex processes of excitonic formation, self-trapping, as well as subsequent transitions of intersystem crossing (ISC) and internal conversion (IC). In this regard, high pressure has recently opened a new research dimension to regulate excitonic transitions in metal halides via continuous structural modulations, to understand the intriguing excitonic emissions from a new perspective. In this Account, we aim to rationalize the fundamental strategy for modulating and optimizing the optical properties of metal halides based on delicate exciton regulation via high-pressure method. First, the band gaps of metal halides that are directly related to the efficiency of excitonic formation, are accurately modulated through contraction, distortion, and destruction of metal-halogen polyhedra under compression. Then, considerable enhancement of self-trapped exciton emission is demonstrated by inducing proper polyhedral distortions via high-pressure method. Furthermore, the emission energy of metal halides could also be controllably and widely tuned through pressure-modulated excitonic transitions. Upon compression on different metal halides, excitonic IC is promoted with sufficient polyhedral distortions, and different sets of ISC could also be achieved. In the end, we emphasize the significance of high-pressure investigations in uncovering the complex excitonic transitions in emergent metal halides and predicting novel metal halides with desired optical properties at ambient conditions. It is expected that these discussions could inspire researchers in different fields to perform interdisciplinary high-pressure studies on novel functional materials.

Abstract
The excellent luminescence properties and structural dynamics driven by the stereoactivity of the lone pair in a variety of low-dimensional ns2 metal halides have attracted growing investigations for optoelectronic applications. However, the structural and photophysical aspects of the excited state associated with the lone pair expression are currently open questions. Herein, zero-dimensional Sn-based halides with static stereoactive 5 s2 lone pairs are selected as a model system to understand the correlations between the distinctive lone pair expression and the excited-state structural relaxation and charge carrier dynamics by continuous lattice manipulation. Lattice compression drives 5 s2 lone pair active switching and self-trapped exciton (STE) redistribution by suppressing excited-state structural deformation of the isolated SnBr4 2- units. Our results demonstrate that the static expression of the 5 s2 lone pair results in a red broadband triplet STE emission with a large Stokes shift, while its dynamic expression creates a sky-blue narrowband emission dominated by the radiative recombination of singlet STEs. Our findings and the photophysical mechanism proposed highlight the stereochemical effects of lone pair expression in controlling light emission properties and offer constructive guidelines for tuning the optoelectronic properties in diverse ns2 metal halides.

However, for most of low-D OMHHs, especially the zero-D (0D) compounds, the inferior electronic coupling between organic ligands and inorganic metal halides prevents efficient charge transfer at the hybrid interfaces and thus limits their further tunability of optical and electronic properties. Here, using pressure to regulate the interfacial interactions, efficient charge transfer from organic ligands to metal halides is achieved, which leads to a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) at around 6.0 GPa in a 0D OMHH, [(C6 H5 )4 P]2 SbCl5 . In situ experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations reveal that the pressure-induced electronic coupling between the lone-pair electrons of Sb3+ and the π electrons of benzene ring (lp-π interaction) serves as an unexpected "bridge" for the charge transfer. Our work opens a versatile strategy for the new materials design by manipulating the lp-π interactions in organic-inorganic hybrid systems.

Abstract
Chemical stabilization of a high-pressure metastable state is a major challenge for the development of advanced materials. Although chemical pressure (Pchem) can effectively simulate the effect of physical pressure (Pphy), experimental calibration of the pressure passed to local structural motifs, denoted as local chemical pressure (Pchem-Δ) which significantly governs the function of solid materials, remains absent due to the challenge of probing techniques. Here we establish an innovative methodology to experimentally calibrate the Pchem-Δ and build a bridge between Pchem and Pphy via an optical probe strategy. Site-selective Bi3+-traced REVO4 (RE = Y, Gd) is adopted as a prototype to introduce Bi3+ optical probes and on-site sense of the Pchem-Δ experienced by the REO8 motif. The cell compression of RE0.98Bi0.02VO4 under Pphy is chemically simulated by smaller-ion substitution (Sc3+ → RE3+) in RE0.98-xScxBi0.02VO4. The consistent red shift (Δλ) of the emission spectra of Bi3+, which is dominated by locally pressure-induced REO8 dodecahedral variation in RE0.98Bi0.02VO4 (Pphy) and RE0.98-xScxBi0.02VO4 (Pchem-Δ), respectively, is evidence of their similar pressure-dependent local structure evolution. This innovative Δλ-based experimental calibration of Pchem-Δ in the crystal-field dimension portrays the anisotropic transmission of Pchem to the local structure and builds a bridge between Pchem-Δ and Pphy to guide a new perspective for affordable and practical interception of metastable states.

Abstract
Using compressive mechanical forces, such as pressure, to induce crystallographic phase transitions and mesostructural changes while modulating material properties in nanoparticles (NPs) is a unique way to discover new phase behaviors, create novel nanostructures, and study emerging properties that are difficult to achieve under conventional conditions. In recent decades, NPs of a plethora of chemical compositions, sizes, shapes, surface ligands, and self-assembled mesostructures have been studied under pressure by in-situ scattering and/or spectroscopy techniques. As a result, the fundamental knowledge of pressure-structure-property relationships has been significantly improved, leading to a better understanding of the design guidelines for nanomaterial synthesis. In the present review, we discuss experimental progress in NP high-pressure research conducted primarily over roughly the past four years on semiconductor NPs, metal and metal oxide NPs, and perovskite NPs. We focus on the pressure-induced behaviors of NPs at both the atomic- and mesoscales, inorganic NP property changes upon compression, and the structural and property transitions of perovskite NPs under pressure. We further discuss in depth progress on molecular modeling, including simulations of ligand behavior, phase-change chalcogenides, layered transition metal dichalcogenides, boron nitride, and inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites NPs. These models now provide both mechanistic explanations of experimental observations and predictive guidelines for future experimental design. We conclude with a summary and our insights on future directions for exploration of nanomaterial phase transition, coupling, growth, and nanoelectronic and photonic properties.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) are promising materials in several fields related to electronics, offering long carrier-diffusion lengths, high absorption coefficients, tunable band gaps, and long spin lifetimes. Recently, chiral perovskites have attracted huge interest thanks to the possibility of further widening the applications of HOIPs. Chiral materials, being intrinsically non-centrosymmetric, display several attractive physicochemical properties, including circular dichroism, circularly polarized photoluminescence, nonlinear optics, ferroelectricity, and spin-related effects. Recent studies have shown that chirality can be transferred from the chiral organic ligands into the inorganic perovskite framework, resulting in materials combining the advantages of both chirality and perovskite superior optoelectronic characteristics. As for HOIPs for photovoltaics, strong interest is currently devoted towards the development of lead-free chiral perovskites to overcome any toxicity issue. While considering the basic and general features of chiral HOIPs, this review mainly focuses on lead-free materials. It highlights the first attempts to understand the correlation between the crystal structure characteristics and the chirality-induced functional properties in lead and lead-free chiral perovskites.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials, featuring relaxed phase-matching conditions and highly tunable optical nonlinearity, endow them with potential applications in nanoscale nonlinear optical (NLO) devices. Despite significant progress, fundamental questions in 2D NLO materials remain, such as how structural distortion affects second-order NLO properties, which call for advanced regulation and in situ diagnostic tools. Here, by applying pressure to continuously tune the displacement of Nb atoms in 2D vdW NbOI2, we effectively modulate the polarization and achieve a 3-fold boost of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) at 2.5 GPa. By introducing a Peierls distortion parameter, λ, we establish a quantitative relationship between λ and SHG intensity. Importantly, we further demonstrate that the SHG enhancement can be achieved under ambient conditions by anionic substitution to tune the distortion in NbO(I1-xBrx)2 (x = 0-1) compounds, where the chemical tailoring simulates the pressure effects on the structural optimization. Consequently, NbO(I0.60Br0.40)2 with λ = 0.17 exhibits a giant SHG of over 2 orders of magnitude higher than that in monolayer WSe2, reaching the record-high value among reported 2D vdW NLO materials. This work unambiguously demonstrates the correlation between Peierls distortion and SHG property and, more broadly, opens new paths for the development of advanced NLO materials by manipulating the structure distortions.

Abstract
Copper(I)-based halides have recently attracted increasing attention as a substitute for lead halides, owing to their nontoxicity, abundance, unique structure, and optoelectric properties. However, exploring an effective strategy to further improve their optical activities and revealing structure-optical property relationships still remain a great concern. Here, by using high pressure technique, a remarkable enhancement of self-trapped exciton (STE) emission associated with the energy exchange between multiple self-trapped states in zero-dimensional lead-free halide Cs3 Cu2 I5 NCs is successfully achieved. Furthermore, high-pressure processing endows the piezochromism of Cs3 Cu2 I5 NCs by experiencing a white light and a strong purple light emission, which is able to be stabilized at near-ambient pressure. The distortion of [Cu2 I5 ] clusters composing of tetrahedral [CuI4 ] and trigonal planar [CuI3 ] and the decreased Cu-Cu distance between the adjacent Cu-I tetrahedron and triangle are responsible for the significant STEs emission enhancement under high pressure. The experiments combined with first-principles calculations not only shed light on the structure-optical property relationships of [Cu2 I5 ] clusters halide, but also provide guidance for improving emission intensity that is highly desirable in solid-state lighting applications.

Abstract
Pressure-induced emission (PIE) associated with self-trapping excitons (STEs) in low-dimensional halide perovskites has attracted great attention for better materials-by-design. Here, using 2D layered double perovskite (C6 H5 CH2 CH2 NH3 + )4 AgBiBr8 as a model system, we advance a fundamental physicochemical mechanism of the PIE from the perspective of carrier dynamics and excited-state behaviors of local lattice distortion. We observed a pressure-driven STE transformation from dark to bright states, corresponding a strong broadband Stokes-shifted emission. Further theoretical analysis demonstrated that the suppressed lattice distortion and enhanced electronic dimensionality in the excited-state play an important role in the formation of stabilized bright STEs, which could manipulate the self-trapping energy and lattice deformation energy to form an energy barrier between the potential energy curves of ground- and excited-state, and enhance the electron-hole orbital overlap, respectively.

Tailoring the high-brightness "warm" white light emission of two-dimensional perovskite crystals via a pressure-inhibited nonradiative transition. Chem Sci 2023; 14:2652-2658. [PMID: 36908947 PMCID: PMC9993844 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc06982b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Efficient warm white light emission is an ideal characteristic of single-component materials for light-emitting applications. Although two-dimensional hybrid perovskites are promising candidates for light-emitting diodes, as they possess broadband self-trapped emission and outstanding stability, they rarely achieve a high photoluminescence quantum yield of warm white light emissions. Here, an unusual pressure-induced warm white emission enhancement phenomenon from 2.1 GPa to 9.9 GPa was observed in two-dimensional perovskite (2meptH2)PbCl4, accompanied by a large increase in the relative quantum yield of photoluminescence. The octahedral distortions, accompanied with the evolution of organic cations, triggered the structural collapse, which caused the sudden emission enhancement at 2.1 GPa. Afterwards, the further intra-octahedral collapse promotes the formation of self-trapped excitons and the substantial suppression of nonradiative transitions are responsible for the continuous pressure-induced photoluminescence enhancement. This study not only clearly illustrates the relationship between crystal structure and photoluminescence, but also provides an experimental basis for the synthesis of high-quality warm white light-emitting 2D metal halide perovskite materials.

Abstract
The unique intermolecular van der Waals force in emerging two-dimensional inorganic molecular crystals (2DIMCs) endows them with highly tunable structures and properties upon applying external stimuli. Using high pressure to modulate the intermolecular bonding, here we reveal the highly tunable charge transport behavior in 2DIMCs for the first time, from an insulator to a semiconductor. As pressure increases, 2D α-Sb2 O3 molecular crystal undergoes three isostructural transitions, and the intermolecular bonding enhances gradually, which results in a considerably decreased band gap by 25 % and a greatly enhanced charge transport. Impressively, the in situ resistivity measurement of the α-Sb2 O3 flake shows a sharp drop by 5 orders of magnitude in 0-3.2 GPa. This work sheds new light on the manipulation of charge transport in 2DIMCs and is of great significance for promoting the fundamental understanding and potential applications of 2DIMCs in advanced modern technologies.

Abstract
Mono-metal phosphorus trichalcogenides (MPX3) have attracted intensive interest due to their intriguing magnetic properties and potential applications. Generally, single-layer two-dimensional (2D) MPX3 are believed to be centrosymmetric. However, we discovered that unexpected spontaneous symmetry breaking may occur in some 2D MPX3, i.e., vertical P-P dimers move out of the plane and become tilted, leading to the structural stability being enhanced, the inversion symmetry being simultaneously broken, and ferroelectricity or ferroelasticity emerging. By systematically investigating the family (176) of 2D MPX3, we found that 34 members undergo such symmetry breaking during geometric optimization, in which ten are identified to be dynamically stable. We show that the mismatch between the triangular sublattice of P-P dimers and the hexagonal sublattice of M atoms and the variable accommodation of P lone-pair electrons in different valence states of M atoms play dominant roles in the inversion symmetry breaking and the emergence of ferroicity. We obtained a ferroic atlas of the whole 2D MPX3 family, which also includes many stable antiferromagnetic and non-ferroic members that have never been reported. Our work not only presents ferroelectricity in the 2D MPX3 family but also reveals how diverse ferroicity emerges with various spontaneous symmetry breakings, which will be helpful for further exploration of 2D ferroic materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor heterostructures are key building blocks for many electronic and optoelectronic devices. Reconfiguring the band-edge states and modulating their interplay with charge carriers at the interface in a continuous manner have long been sought yet are challenging. Here, using organic semiconductor-incorporated 2D halide perovskites as the model system, we realize the manipulation of band-edge states and charge distribution via mechanical-rather than chemical or thermal-regulation. Compression induces band-alignment switching and charge redistribution due to the different pressure responses of organic and inorganic building blocks, giving controllable emission properties of 2D perovskites. We propose and demonstrate a "pressure gating" strategy that enables the control of multiple emission states within a single material. We also reveal that band-alignment transition at the organic-inorganic interface is intrinsically not well resolved at room temperature owing to the thermally activated transfer and shuffling of band-edge carriers. This work provides important fundamental insights into the energetics and carrier dynamics of hybrid semiconductor heterostructures.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) metal halide perovskites are promising tunable semiconductors. Previous studies have focused on Pb-based structures, whereas the multilayered Sn- and Ge-based analogues are largely unexplored, even though they potentially exhibit more diverse structural chemistry and properties associated with the more polarizable ns2 lone-pair electrons. Herein, we report the synthesis and structures of 2D tin iodide perovskites (BA)2(A)Sn2I7, where BA = n-butylammonium and A = methylammonium, formamidinium, dimethylammonium, guanidinium, or acetamidinium, and those of 2D germanium iodide perovskites (BA)2(A)Ge2I7, where A = methylammonium or formamidinium. By comparing these structures along with their Pb counterparts, we establish correlations between the effect of group IV-cation's lone-pair stereochemical activity on the perovskite crystal structures and the resulting semiconducting properties such as bandgaps and carrier-phonon interactions and nonlinear optical properties. We find that the strength of carrier-phonon interaction increases with increasing lone-pair activity, leading to a more prominent photoluminescence tail on the low-energy side. Moreover, (BA)2(A)Ge2I7 exhibit strong second harmonic generation with second-order nonlinear coefficients of ∼10 pm V-1 that are at least 10 times those of Sn counterparts and 100 times those of Pb counterparts. We also report the third-order two-photon absorption coefficients of (BA)2(A)Sn2I7 to be ∼10 cm MW-1, which are one order of magnitude larger than those of the Pb counterparts and traditional inorganic semiconductors. These results not only highlight the role of lone-pair activity in linking the compositions and physical properties of 2D halide perovskites but also demonstrate 2D tin and germanium iodide perovskites as promising lead-free alternatives for nonlinear optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional hybrid metal halides (0D HMHs) are attractive due to their intriguing self-trapped exciton (STE) emission properties. However, the effect of organic cations on the emission of 0D HMHs is relatively underexplored. Herein, we report two types of 0D hybrid tin bromides, (BMe)2SnBr6 (BMe = C8N2H18) and (MeH)2SnBr6 (MeH = C7N2H16), which share similar structural features with different hydrogen bonding (HB) interactions between [SnBr6]4- anions and organic cations. The (BMe)2SnBr6 with weak HB interactions exhibits only STE emission, while the (MeH)2SnBr6 exhibits both STE and charge transfer exciton emissions owing to the strong HB interactions, resulting in an excitation-dependent emission at cryogenic conditions. Detailed structural analyses and Hirshfeld surface calculations confirm that the enhanced HB interactions are essential to obtain the multiple emissions in (MeH)2SnBr6.

Abstract
Solids can be generally categorized by their structures into crystalline and amorphous states with different interactions among atoms dictating their properties. Crystalline-amorphous hybrid structures, combining the advantages of both ordered and disordered components, present a promising opportunity to design materials with emergent collective properties. Hybridization of crystalline and amorphous structures at the sublattice level with long-range periodicity has been rarely observed. Here, we report a nested order-disorder framework (NOF) constructed by a crystalline matrix with self-filled amorphous-like innards that is obtained by using pressure to regulate the bonding hierarchy of Cu12Sb4S13. Combined in situ experimental and computational methods demonstrate the formation of disordered Cu sublattice which is embedded in the retained crystalline Cu framework. Such a NOF structure gives a low thermal conductivity (~0.24 W·m−1·K−1) and a metallic electrical conductivity (8 × 10−6 Ω·m), realizing the collaborative improvement of two competing physical properties. These findings demonstrate a category of solid-state materials to link the crystalline and amorphous forms in the sublattice-scale, which will exhibit extraordinary properties. The synthesis and characterization of new crystalline-amorphous hybrid materials is challenging. Here, the authors report the preparation of a nested order-disorder framework by applying high pressure to a nested copper chalcogenide Cu12Sb4S13.

Abstract
The electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction in lead halide perovskites (LHPs) plays a role in a variety of physical phenomena. Unveiling how the local lattice distortion responds to charge carriers is a critical step toward understanding the e-ph interaction in LHPs. Herein, we advance a fundamental understanding of the e-ph interaction in LHPs from the perspective of stereochemical activity of 6s2 lone-pair electrons on the Pb2+ cation. We demonstrate a model system based on three LHPs with distinctive lone-pair activities for studying the structure-property relationships. By tuning the A-cation chemistry, we synthesized single-crystal CsPbBr3, (MA0.13EA0.87)PbBr3 (MA+ = methylammonium; EA+ = ethylammonium), and (MHy)PbBr3 (MHy+ = methylhydrazinium), which exhibit stereo-inactive, dynamic stereo-active, and static stereo-active lone pairs, respectively. This gives rise to distinctive local lattice distortions and low-frequency vibrational modes. We find that the e-ph interaction leads to a blue shift of the band gap as temperature increases in the structure with the dynamic stereo-active lone pair but to a red shift in the structure with the static stereo-active lone pair. Furthermore, analyses of the temperature-dependent low-energy photoluminescence tails reveal that the strength of the e-ph interaction increases with increasing lone-pair activity, leading to a transition from a large polaron to a small polaron, which has significant influence on the emission spectra and charge carrier dynamics. Our results highlight the role of the lone-pair activity in controlling the band gap, phonon, and polaronic effect in LHPs and provide guidelines for optimizing the optoelectronic properties, especially for tin-based and germanium-based halide perovskites, where stereo-active lone pairs are more prominent than their lead counterparts.

Pressure-Enhanced Photocurrent in One-Dimensional SbSI via Lone-Pair Electron Reconfiguration. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113845. [PMID: 35683147 PMCID: PMC9182005 DOI: 10.3390/ma15113845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Understanding the relationships between the local structures and physical properties of low-dimensional ferroelectrics is of both fundamental and practical importance. Here, pressure-induced enhancement in the photocurrent of SbSI is observed by using pressure to regulate the lone-pair electrons (LPEs). The reconfiguration of LPEs under pressure leads to the inversion symmetry broken in the crystal structure and an optimum bandgap according to the Shockley–Queisser limit. The increased polarization caused by the stereochemical expression of LPEs results in a significantly enhanced photocurrent at 14 GPa. Our research enriches the foundational understanding of structure–property relationships by regulating the stereochemical role of LPEs and offers a distinctive approach to the design of ferroelectric-photovoltaic materials.

Abstract
Piezochromic luminescence materials with optical properties can be adjusted (the colors most sensitive to the human eye range from red to green) to provide powerful means for information acquisition in various applications. Inorganic quantum dots, typically based on heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, have congenital advantages as luminescence materials, including strong inoxidizability and excellent photoelectric properties. However, small band-gap shifts under pressure have hindered the development of inorganic-based piezochromic materials. Herein, we combined in situ high-pressure photoluminescence (PL) and absorption measurements with synchrotron X-ray scattering spectra to elucidate the remarkable modulation of optical properties and morphologies by pressure, particularly that of the piezochromic luminescence, in all-inorganic core-shell InP/ZnSe nanocrystals (NCs). We observed a stepwise PL color change from red to green, and an ultrabroad bandgap tunability of 0.46 eV was observed from 1.99 to 2.45 eV in the pressure range of 14.2 GPa for InP/ZnSe NCs. Moreover, two-dimensional (2D) InP/ZnSe nanosheets were synthesized by the stress-driven attachment of nanoparticles. These results demonstrate the ability of the pressure-stimulus response to trigger remarkable piezochromic luminescence and 2D nanosheet assembly in InP/ZnSe NCs, which paves the way for new applications of all-inorganic InP-based semiconductor NCs.

Abstract
Organic solid-state luminescent materials exhibit numerous exciting photoelectric properties that are central to emergent organic light-emitting diodes, smart sensors, and data encryption. However, the luminescence of pure organic rotor-free materials has been afflicted with strong intermolecular π-π stacking interactions. Herein, an unprecedented pressure-induced emission enhancement (PIEE) is realized in a system of rigid planar pure polycyclic aromatics, i.e., truxene crystals. The emission intensity is enhanced 7-fold below 3.0 GPa with a photoluminescence quantum yield increased to 10.17% compared with the initial value of 1.78%, and the emission colors change from green (520 nm) to red (640 nm) within 11.8 GPa. Spectral characterizations and first-principles calculations reveal that the PIEE and piezochromism can mainly be attributed to the restricted intermolecular vibration and the decreased energy gap. Our findings enrich the PIEE mechanism and provide a new guideline for designing pressure-responsive luminescent materials in advancing their photoelectric applications.

Abstract
Perovskite-related materials with various dimensionalities have attracted sustained attention owing to their extraordinary electronic and optoelectronic properties, but it is still challenging in the synthesis of compounds with desired compositions and structures. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) CsPb2I5 perovskite has been synthesized by the conversion of CsPbI3 at high-pressure and high-temperature (high P-T) conditions, which is quenchable at ambient conditions. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction shows that high-pressure monoclinic CsPbI3 converts into tetragonal CsPb2I5 and cubic CsI at 8.7 GPa upon heating from 644 to 666 K. Keeping the tetragonal structure stable, CsPb2I5 exhibits tunable optical properties with the bandgap changing from ∼2.4 eV at ambient pressure to ∼1.4 eV at 36.9 GPa. Further experiments demonstrate similar structural evolution in the typical three-dimensional CsPbBr3 perovskite into 2D CsPb2Br5 at high P-T conditions, indicating that the conversion of CsPbX3 (X = Br and I) into CsPb2X5 is ubiquitous.

LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2022; 11:69.

Abstract
Emission thermal quenching is commonly observed in quasi-2D perovskite emitters, which causes the severe drop in luminescence efficiency for the quasi-2D perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) during practical operations. However, this issue is often neglected and rarely studied, and the root cause of the thermal quenching has not been completely revealed now. Here, we develop a passivation strategy via the 2,7-dibromo-9,9-bis (3'-diethoxylphosphorylpropyl)-fluorene to investigate and suppress the thermal quenching. The agent can effectively passivate coordination-unsaturated Pb2+ defects of both surface and bulk of the film without affecting the perovskite crystallization, which helps to more truly demonstrate the important role of defects in thermal quenching. And our results reveal the root cause that the quenching will be strengthened by the defect-promoted exciton-phonon coupling. Ultimately, the PeLEDs with defect passivation achieve an improved external quantum efficiency (EQE) over 22% and doubled operation lifetime at room temperature, and can maintain about 85% of the initial EQE at 85 °C, much higher than 17% of the control device. These findings provide an important basis for fabricating practical PeLEDs for lighting and displays.

Abstract
As a potential multifunctional phase transition material, the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Here, we report the single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition and excitation-wavelength-dependent emission (EDE) of layered perovskite (COOH(CH2)3NH3)2PbI4. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction indicated that the crystal structure changes from layered Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) at 302 K to "X" network composed of face-sharing and corner-sharing [PbX6]4- octahedra at 425 K. The material exhibits thermochromic change from orange to yellow at higher temperature. Considering the thermochromism of the material, we apply it for anticounterfeiting and information encryption. The material exhibits EDE properties with a fluorescence color changing from green to red upon 420 and 546 nm excitation, respectively. Time-dependent density functional theory indicated that this phenomenon is mainly related to the laser-induced crystal structural transfer. Our research shows that the (COOH(CH2)3NH3)2PbI4 crystal has a potential application for multifunctional devices.

Abstract
Developing single-component materials with bright-white emission is required for energy-saving applications. Self-trapped exciton (STE) emission is regarded as a robust way to generate intrinsic white light in halide perovskites. However, STE emission usually occurs in low-dimensional perovskites whereby a lower level of structural connectivity reduces the conductivity. Enabling conventional three-dimensional (3D) perovskites to produce STEs to elicit competitive white emission is challenging. Here, we first achieved STEs-related emission of white light with outstanding chromaticity coordinates of (0.330, 0.325) in typical 3D perovskites, Mn-doped CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs), through pressure processing. Remarkable piezochromism from red to blue was also realized in compressed Mn-doped CsPbBr3 NCs. Doping engineering by size-mismatched Mn dopants could give rise to the formation of localized carriers. Hence, high pressure could further induce octahedra distortion to accommodate the STEs, which has never occurred in pure 3D perovskites. Our study not only offers deep insights into the photophysical nature of perovskites, it also provides a promising strategy towards high-quality, stable white-light emission.

Abstract
As low-dimensional lead-free hybrids with higher stability and lower toxicity than those of three-dimensional lead perovskites, organic antimony(III) halides show great application potential in opt-electronic field owing to diverse topologies along with exceptional optical properties. We report herein an antimony(III) hybrid (MePPh3 )2 SbCl5 with a zero-dimensional (0D) structure, which exhibits brilliant orange emission peaked at 593 nm with near-unity photoluminescent quantum yield (99.4 %). The characterization of photophysical properties demonstrates that the broadband emission with a microsecond lifetime (3.24 μs) arises from self-trapped emission (STE). Electrically driven organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on neat and doped films of (MePPh3 )2 SbCl5 were fabricated. The doped devices show significant improvement in comparison to non-doped OLEDs. Owing to the much improved surface morphology and balanced carrier transport in light-emitting layers of doped devices, the peak luminance, current efficiency (CE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) are boosted from 82 cd m-2 to 3500 cd m-2 , 1.1 cd A-1 to 6.8 cd A-1 , and 0.7 % to 3.1 % relative to non-doped devices, respectively.

Abstract
Maximizing the regeneration of singlet excitons remains a considerable challenge in deep-blue emission systems to obtain low-cost, high-efficiency fluorescent materials. However, the formation of the long-lifetime triplet excitons generally dominates the radiative process, making it greatly difficult to harvest deep-blue emission with high color purity because of the depression of singlet excitons. Here, a very bright deep-blue emission in double perovskite Cs2Na0.4Ag0.6InCl6 alloyed with Bi doping (CNAICB) was successfully achieved by pressure-driven reverse intersystem crossing (RISC), an abnormal photophysical process of energy transfer from the excited triplet state back to the singlet. Therein, the inherently broad emission of CNAICB was associated with the self-trapped excitons (STEs) at excited triplet states, whereas the radiative recombination of STEs populated in excited singlet states was responsible for the observed deep-blue emission. Moreover, the deep-blue emission corresponds to Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates (0.16, 0.06) at 5.01 GPa, which meets the requirement of Rec. 2020 display standards. Likewise, pressure was introduced as an efficient tool to rule out the possibility of the recombination of free excitons and clarify the long-standing conventional dispute over the origin of the low-wavelength emission of Cs2AgInCl6. Our study not only demonstrates that pressure can be a robust means to boost the deep-blue emission but also provides deep insights into the structure-property relationship of lead-free CNAICB double perovskites.

Abstract
Earth-abundant antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3), or simply antimonite, is a promising material for capturing natural energies like solar power and heat flux. The layered structure, held up by weak van-der Waals forces, induces anisotropic behaviors in carrier transportation and thermal expansion. Here, we used stress as mechanical stimuli to destabilize the layered structure and observed the structural phase transition to a three-dimensional (3D) structure. We combined in situ x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations to study the evolution of structure and bandgap width up to 20.1 GPa. The optical band gap energy of Sb2S3 followed a two-step hierarchical sequence at approximately 4 and 11 GPa. We also revealed that the first step of change is mainly caused by the redistribution of band states near the conduction band maximum. The second transition is controlled by an isostructural phase transition, with collapsed layers and the formation of a higher coordinated bulky structure. The band gap reduced from 1.73 eV at ambient to 0.68 eV at 15 GPa, making it a promising thermoelectric material under high pressure.

Abstract
Pressure-induced emission (PIE) is extensively studied in halide perovskites or derivative hybrid halides. However, owing to the soft inorganic lattice of these materials, the intense emission is barely retained under ambient conditions, thus largely limiting their practical applications in optoelectronics at atmospheric pressure. Here, remarkably enhanced emission in microtubules of the 0D hybrid halide (C5 H7 N2 )2 ZnBr4 ((4AMP)2 ZnBr4 ) is successfully achieved by means of pressure treatment at room temperature. Notably, the emission, which is over ten times more intense than the emission in the initial state, is retained under ambient conditions upon the complete release of pressure. Furthermore, the pressure processing enables the tuning of "sky blue light" before compression to "cool daylight" with a remarkable quantum yield of 88.52% after decompression, which is of considerable interest for applications in next-generation lighting and displays. The irreversible electronic structural transition, induced by the steric hindrance with respect to complexly configurational organic molecules [4AMP], is highly responsible for the eventual retention of PIE and tuning of the color temperature. The findings represent a significant step toward the capture of PIE under ambient conditions, thus facilitating its potential solid-state lighting applications.

Abstract
Low-dimensional hybrid metal halides are emerging as a highly promising class of single-component white-emitting materials for their unique broadband emission from self-trapped excitons (STEs). Despite substantial progress in the development of these metal halides, many challenges remain to be addressed to obtain a better fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship and realize the full potentials of this class of materials. Here, via pressure regulation, a near 100% photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of broadband emission is achieved in a corrugated 1D hybrid metal halide C5 N2 H16 Pb2 Br6 , which possesses a highly distorted structure with an initial PLQY of 10%. Compression reduces the overlap between STE states and ground state, leading to a suppressed phonon-assisted non-radiative decay. The PL evolution is systematically demonstrated to be controlled by the pressure-regulated exciton-phonon coupling which can be quantified using Huang-Rhys factor S. Detailed studies of the S-PLQY relation for a series of 1D hybrid metal halides (C5 N2 H16 Pb2 Br6 , C4 N2 H14 PbBr4 , C6 N2 H16 PbBr4 , and (C6 N2 H16 )3 Pb2 Br10 ) reveal a quantitative structure-property relationship that regulating S factor toward 28 leads to the maximum emission.

Abstract
Orthosilicates adopt the zircon structure types (I41/amd), consisting of isolated SiO4 tetrahedra joined by A-site metal cations, such as Ce and U. They are of significant interest in the fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, nuclear waste form development, and material science. Stetindite (CeSiO4) and coffinite (USiO4) can be formed under hydrothermal conditions despite both being thermodynamically metastable. Water has been hypothesized to play a significant role in stabilizing and forming these orthosilicate phases, though little experimental evidence exists. To understand the effects of hydration or hydroxylation on these orthosilicates, in situ high-temperature synchrotron and laboratory-based X-ray diffraction was conducted from 25 to ∼850 °C. Stetindite maintains its I41/amd symmetry with increasing temperature but exhibits a discontinuous expansion along the a-axis during heating, presumably due to the removal of water confined in the [001] channels, which shrink against thermal expansion along the a-axis. Additional in situ high-temperature Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy also confirmed the presence of the confined water. Coffinite was also found to expand nonlinearly up to 600 °C and then thermally decompose into a mixture of UO2 and SiO2. A combination of dehydration and dehydroxylation is proposed for explaining the thermal behavior of coffinite synthesized hydrothermally. Additionally, we investigated high-temperature structures of two coffinite-thorite solid solutions, uranothorite (UxTh1-xSiO4), which displayed complex variations in composition during heating that was attributed to the negative enthalpy of mixing. Lastly, for the first time, the coefficients of thermal expansion of CeSiO4, USiO4, U0.46Th0.54SiO4, and U0.9Th0.1SiO4 were determined to be αV = 14.49 × 10-6, 14.29 × 10-6, 17.21 × 10-6, and 17.23 × 10-6 °C-1, respectively.
