Abstract
Luminescent Mn(II)-based organic-inorganic hybrid halides have drawn attention as potential materials for sensing and photonics applications. Here, the synthesis and characterization of methylammonium (MA) manganese bromide ((MA)nBrxMn(H2O)2, (n = 1, 4 and x = 3, 6)) with different stoichiometries of the organic cation and inorganic counterpart, are reported. While the Mn2+ centers have an octahedral conformation, the two coordinating water molecules are found either in cis (1) or in trans (2) positions. The photophysical behavior of 1 reflects the luminescence of Mn2+ in an octahedral environment. Although Mn2+ in 2 also has octahedral coordination, at room temperature dual emission bands at ≈530 and ≈660 nm are observed, explained in terms of emission from Mn2+ in tetragonally compressed octahedra and self-trapped excitons (STEs), respectively. Above the room temperature, 2 shows quasi-tetrahedral behavior with intense green emission, while at temperatures below 140 K, another STE band emerges at 570 nm. Time-resolved experiments (77-360 K) provide a clear picture of the excited dynamics. 2 shows rising components due to STEs formation equilibrated at room temperature with their precursors. Finally, the potential of these materials for the fabrication of color-tunable down-converted light-emitting diode (LED) and for detecting polar solvent vapors is shown.

Abstract
In this work, doping 3-amino-propyl triethoxysilane (APTES) into a perovskite precursor is proven to be an effective strategy, which can passivate crystal defects, control the crystallization rate, and improve the morphology. APTES can form oligomers through hydrolysis and a condensation reaction, thus blocking the invasion of external water molecules. In addition, the lone pair electrons on the N atom in the amino group of APTES form a coordination bond with perovskite by sharing the empty 6p orbital on Pb2+, which can effectively passivate the defects of the film and realize a highly uniform and dense perovskite film with preferential crystal growth orientation. The film exhibits high (110) crystal plane orientation and long carrier lifetime and mobility, which improves the performance of flexible perovskite solar cells. Using this approach, the champion device presents an optimal power conversion efficiency of 19.84% with much promoted air stability. Moreover, the efficiency of flexible devices does not decrease after maximum power point irradiation for 360 s.
