Abstract
Halide perovskite materials, especially lead-based perovskites, have been widely used for optoelectronic and catalytic applications. However, the high toxicity of the lead element is a major concern that directs the research work toward lead-free halide perovskites, which could utilize bismuth as a promising candidate. Until now, the replacement of lead by bismuth in perovskites has been well studied by designing bismuth-based halide perovskite (BHP) nanomaterials with versatile physical-chemical properties, which are emerging in various application fields, especially heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this mini-review, we present a brief overview of recent progress in BHP nanomaterials for photocatalysis under visible light. The synthesis and physical-chemical properties of BHP nanomaterials have been comprehensively summarized, including zero-dimensional, two-dimensional nanostructures and hetero-architectures. Later, we introduce the photocatalytic applications of these novel BHP nanomaterials with visible-light response, improved charge separation/transport and unique catalytic sites. Due to advanced nano-morphologies, a well-designed electronic structure and an engineered surface chemical micro-environment, BHP nanomaterials demonstrate enhanced photocatalytic performance for hydrogen generation, CO2 reduction, organic synthesis and pollutant removal. Finally, the challenges and future research directions of BHP nanomaterials for photocatalysis are discussed.

Abstract
The remarkable material stability and structural diversity of two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) constitute a vast available library of versatile materials. In particular, ferroelastic property, for which the spontaneous strain can be transformed by applying mechanical stress, is very promising for extensive nanotechnological applications. However, integrating ferroelastic property into 2D OIHPs is still in its infancy. Herein, we designed two new 2D OIHPs (C3 H5 CH2 NH3 )2 [MCl4 ] (M=Mn for 1 and Cd for 2), which undergo reversible ferroelastic phase transitions with an Aizu expression 4/mmmFmmm. The templating influence of the more distorted inorganic framework on the disordering of organic cations and the stronger hydrogen bonds has a key role in the striking improvement of Curie temperature from 246 K in 1 to 273 K in 2. Meanwhile, the minimized alteration of structural motif ensures the well maintaining of the ferroelastic performance in the forms of crystals and thin films, as demonstrated by the identifiable evolution of domain structures. This work will provide a fertile new ground for enlarging the limited number of 2D ferroelastic OIHPs with better practical utility.

Abstract
The electroluminescence performance and long-term stability of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are greatly affected by the film quality of perovskite emitting layer. Herein, the authors employ an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([BMIm]OTf), to manipulate the growth of quasi-2D perovskite films by providing heterogeneous nucleation sites. The [BMIm]OTf molecules simultaneously realize uniform perovskite films by reducing the contact angles of precursor solution on the hole transport layer (HTL), and eliminate defect states through bonding [BMIm]+ cations to negatively-charged uncoordinated Br and OTf- anions to uncoordinated Pb2+ defects that effectively suppresses the defect states assisted nonradiative recombination in perovskite films. As a result, the efficiency and the operational lifetime of the resultant PeLED are enhanced by more than twofold and threefold, respectively, achieving a maximum external quantum efficiency of 17.6% and an operational lifetime of over 500 min at an initial brightness of 100 cd m-2 .

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed the great success achieved by metal halide perovskites (MHPs) in photovoltaic and related fields. However, challenges still remain in further improving their performance, as well as, settling the stability issue for future commercialization. Recently, MHP/2D material heterostructures that combining MHPs with the low-cost and solution-processable 2D materials have demonstrated unprecedented improvement in both performance and stability due to the distinctive features at hetero-interface. The diverse fabrication techniques of MHPs and 2D materials allow them to be assembled as heterostructures with different configurations in a variety of ways. Moreover, the large families of MHPs and 2D materials provide the opportunity for the rational design and modification on compositions and functionalities of MHP/2D materials heterostructures. Herein, a comprehensive review of MHP/2D material heterostructures from syntheses to applications is presented. First, various fabrication techniques for MHP/2D material heterostructures are introduced by classifying them into solid-state methods and solution-processed methods. Then the applications of MHP/2D heterostructures in various fields including photodetectors, solar cells, and photocatalysis are summarized in detail. Finally, current challenges for the development of MHP/2D material heterostructures are highlighted, and future opportunities for the advancements in this research field are also provided.

Smoothing the energy transfer pathway in quasi-2D perovskite films using methanesulfonate leads to highly efficient light-emitting devices. Nat Commun 2021; 12:1246.

Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites such as BA2Csn–1PbnBr3n+1 (BA = butylammonium, n > 1) are promising emitters, but their electroluminescence performance is limited by a severe non-radiative recombination during the energy transfer process. Here, we make use of methanesulfonate (MeS) that can interact with the spacer BA cations via strong hydrogen bonding interaction to reconstruct the quasi-2D perovskite structure, which increases the energy acceptor-to-donor ratio and enhances the energy transfer in perovskite films, thus improving the light emission efficiency. MeS additives also lower the defect density in RP perovskites, which is due to the elimination of uncoordinated Pb2+ by the electron-rich Lewis base MeS and the weakened adsorbate blocking effect. As a result, green light-emitting diodes fabricated using these quasi-2D RP perovskite films reach current efficiency of 63 cd A−1 and 20.5% external quantum efficiency, which are the best reported performance for devices based on quasi-2D perovskites so far. Owing to large exciton binding energy, quasi-2D perovskite is promising for light-emitting application, yet inhomogeneous phases distribution limits the potential. Here, the authors improve the performance by using MeS additive to regulate the phase distribution and to reduce defect density in the films.

Abstract
Three-dimensional perovskite AMX3 has great potential in photoelectric applications, but the poor stability is a major problem that restricts its practical application. The emergence of lower dimensional perovskite solves this problem. Here, we have synthesized a group of novel low-dimensional perovskites with diverse structures. Different amino acids were incorporated in the perovskite cage. The formulas of the compounds are (A')mPbIm+2 (A' = COOH(CH2)nNH2, n = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). These families of materials demonstrate structure-related stability, tunable bandgap, and different photoluminescence. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction indicated that the five materials employ different structure types varying from edge-sharing structures to face- and corner-sharing Pb/I structures by adjusting the number of C atoms in organic cations, and the level of [PbI6]4- octahedral distortion was also identified. The film prepared using these materials with longer carbon chains (n = 5, 7, 9) showed better stability, and they did not decompose within one year at 75% RH, 40 °C. The bifunctional organic ions containing carboxyl groups as spacer cations will form additional hydrogen bonding between perovskite layers, resulting in higher stability of the material. The band gaps of these materials vary from 2.19 to 2.6 eV depending on the octahedral connection mode and [PbI6]4- octahedral distortion level, density functional theory calculations (DFT) are consistent with our experimental trends and suggest that the face-sharing structure has the maximum band gap due to its flatter electron band structure. Bright green fluorescence was observed in (COOH(CH2)7NH3)2PbI4 and (COOH(CH2)9NH3)2PbI4 when excited by 365 nm UV light. A thorough comprehension of the structure-property relationships is of great significance for further practical applications of perovskites.
