Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) tin halide perovskites are promising semiconductors for field-effect transistors (FETs) owing to their fascinating electronic properties. However, the correlation between the chemical nature of organic cations and charge carrier transport is still far from understanding. In this study, the influence of chain length of linear alkyl ammonium cations on film morphology, crystallinity, and charge transport in 2D tin halide perovskites is investigated. The carbon chain lengths of the organic spacers vary from propylammonium to heptanammonium. The increase of alkyl chain length leads to enhanced local charge carrier transport in the perovskite film with mobilities of up to 8 cm2 V-1 s-1, as confirmed by optical-pump terahertz spectroscopy. A similar improved macroscopic charge transport is also observed in FETs, only to the chain length of HA, due to the synergistic enhancement of film morphology and molecular organization. While the mobility increases with the temperature rise from 100 K to 200 K due to the thermally activated transport mechanism, the device performance decreases in the temperature range of 200 K to 295 K because of ion migration. These results provide guidelines on rational design principles of organic spacer cations for 2D tin halide perovskites and contribute to other optoelectronic applications.

Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:382-418. [PMID: 38105163 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2023.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Despite their excellent environmental stability, low defect density, and high carrier mobility, large-n quasi-two-dimensional halide perovskites (quasi-2DHPs) feature a limited application scope because of the formation of self-assembled multiple quantum wells (QWs) due to the similar thermal stabilities of large-n phases. However, large-n quasi-phase-pure 2DHPs (quasi-PP-2DHPs) can solve this problem perfectly. This review discusses the structures, formation mechanisms, and photoelectronic and physical properties of quasi-PP-2DHPs, summarises the corresponding single crystals, thin films, and heterojunction preparation methods, and presents the related advances. Moreover, we focus on applications of large-n quasi-PP-2DHPs in solar cells, photodetectors, lasers, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors, discuss the challenges and prospects of these emerging photoelectronic materials, and review the potential technological developments in this area.

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
Here, we achieved pinhole-free 2D Ruddlesden-Popper Perovskite (RPP) BA2PbI4 layers with close packed crystalline grains with dimension of about 30 × 30 µm2, which have been demonstrated to be favorable for optoelectronic applications, such as fast response RPP-based metal/semiconductor/metal photodetectors. We explored affecting parameters in hot casting of BA2PbI4 layers, and proved that oxygen plasma treatment prior to hot casting plays a significant role to achieve high quality close packed polycrystalline RPP layers at lower hot cast temperatures. Moreover, we demonstrate that crystal growth of 2D BA2PbI4 can be dominantly controlled by the rate of solvent evaporation through substrate temperature or rotational speed, while molarity of the prepared RPP/DMF precursor is the dominant factor that determines the RPP layer thickness, and can affect the spectral response of the realized photodetector. Benefiting from the high light absorption and inherent chemical stability of 2D RPP layers, we achieved high responsivity and stability, and fast response photodetection from perovskite active layer. We achieved a fast photoresponse with rise and fall times of 189 µs and 300 µs, and the maximum responsivity of 119 mA/W and detectivity of 2.15 × 108 Jones in response to illumination wavelength of 450 nm. The presented polycrystalline RPP-based photodetector benefits from a simple and low-cost fabrication process, suitable for large area production on glass substrate, a good stability and responsivity, and a promising fast photoresponse, even around that of exfoliated single crystal RPP-based counterparts. However, it is well known that exfoliation methods suffer from poor repeatability and scalability, which make them incompatible with mass production and large area applications.

Abstract
We have explored the structural, electronic, charge transport, and optical properties of lead-free 2D hybrid halide perovskites, MASnBr3 and Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites, BAMASn2Br7 monolayers. Under density functional theory (DFT) calculation, we applied mechanical strain, i.e., tensile and compressive strain up to 10% in both cases. The mechanical strain engineering technique is useful for a tuned bandgap of 2D MASnBr3 and 2D BAMASn2Br7. The calculated carrier mobility for the electron is 404 cm2 V-1 s-1 and for the hole is up to 800 cm2 V-1 s-1 for MASnBr3. For BAMASn2Br7 the highest carrier mobility is up to 557 cm2 V-1 s-1 for electrons and up to 779 cm2 V-1 s-1 for the hole, which is 14% and 24% higher than the reported lead-iodide based perovskites, respectively. The calculated solar cell efficiency of 2D MASnBr3 is 23.46%, which is 18% higher than the reported lead-based perovskites. Furthermore, the optical activity of the 2D MASnBr3 and 2D BAMASn2Br7 shows a high static dielectric constant of 2.48 and 2.14, respectively. This is useful to show nanodevice performance. Also, 2D MASNBr3 shows a high absorption coefficient of 15.25 × 105 cm-1 and 2D BAMASn2Br7 shows an absorption coefficient of up to 13.38 × 105 cm-1. Therefore our theoretical results suggest that the systems are under mechanical strain engineering. This is convenient for experimentalists to improve the performance of the 2D perovskites. The study supports these materials as good candidates for photovoltaic and optoelectronic device applications.

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
Herein, we report the two-photon pumped amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in the 2D RPPs flakes at room temperature. We prepared high-quality (BA)2(MA)n-1PbnI3n+1 (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) flakes by mechanical exfoliating from the fabricated crystals. We show that the (BA)2(MA)n-1PbnI3n+1 flakes display a tunable two-photon pumped emission from 527 nm to 680 nm, as n increases from 1 to 5. Furthermore, we demonstrated two-photon pumped ASE from the (BA)2(MA)n-1PbnI3n+1 (n = 3, 4, 5) flakes. The two-photon pumped ASE thresholds of the RPPs are lower than lots of the other semiconductor nanostructures, indicating an excellent performance of the RPPs for two-photon pumped emission. In addition, we investigated the pump-wavelength-dependent two-photon pumped ASE behaviors of the RPPs flakes, which suggest that the near-infrared laser in a wide wavelength range can be converted into visible light by the frequency upconversion process in RPPs. This work has opened new avenues for realizing nonlinearly pumped ASE based on the RPPs, which shows great potential for the applications in wavelength-tunable frequency upconversion.

Abstract
Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) phase metal halide organo perovskites are being extensively studied due to their quasi-two dimensional (2D) nature which makes them an excellent material for several optoelectronic device applications such as solar cells, photo-detectors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers etc. While most of reports show use of linear carbon chain based organic moiety, such as n-Butylamine, as organic spacer in RP perovskite crystal structure, here we report a new series of quasi 2D perovskites with a ring type cyclic carbon group as organic spacer forming RP perovskite of type (CH)2(MA)n−1PbnI3n+1; CH = 2-(1-Cyclohexenyl)ethylamine; MA = Methylamine). This work highlights the synthesis, structural, thermal, optical and optoelectronic characterizations for the new RP perovskite series n = 1–4. The demonstrated RP perovskite of type for n = 1–4 have shown formation of highly crystalline thin films with alternate stacking of organic and inorganic layers, where the order of PbI6 octahedron layering are controlled by n-value, and shown uniform direct bandgap tunable from 2.51 eV (n = 1) to 1.92 eV (n = 4). The PL lifetime measurements supported the fact that lifetime of charge carriers increase with n-value of RP perovskites [154 ps (n = 1) to 336 ps (n = 4)]. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed highly stable nature of reported RP perovskites with linear increase in phase transition temperatures from 257 °C (n = 1) to 270 °C (n = 4). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) are used to investigate the surface morphology and elemental compositions of thin films. In addition, the photodetectors fabricated for the series using (CH)2(MA)n−1PbnI3n+1 RP perovskite as active absorbing layer and without any charge transport layers, shown sharp photocurrent response from 17 nA/cm2 for n = 1 to 70 nA/cm2 for n = 4, under zero bias and low power illumination conditions (470 nm LED, 1.5 mW/cm2). Furthermore, for lowest bandgap RP perovskite n = 4, (CH)2MA3Pb4I13 the photodetector showed maximum photocurrent density of ~ 508 nA/cm2 at 3 V under similar illumination condition, thus giving fairly large responsivity (46.65 mA/W). Our investigations show that 2-(1-Cyclohexenyl)ethylamine based RP perovskites can be potential solution processed semiconducting materials for optoelectronic applications such as photo-detectors, solar cells, LEDs, photobatteries etc.

Abstract
In recent years, 2D Ruddlesden-Popper (2DRP) perovskite materials have been explored as emerging semiconductor materials in solar cells owing to their excellent stability and structural diversity. Although 2DRP perovskites have achieved photovoltaic efficiencies exceeding 19%, their widespread use is hindered by their inferior charge-carrier transport properties in the presence of diverse organic spacer cations, compared to that of traditional 3D perovskites. Hence, a systematic understanding of the carrier transport mechanism in 2D perovskites is critical for the development of high-performance 2D perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, the recent advances in the carrier behavior of 2DRP PSCs are summarized, and guidelines for successfully enhancing carrier transport are provided. First, the composition and crystal structure of 2DRP perovskite materials that affect carrier transport are discussed. Then, the features of 2DRP perovskite films (phase separation, grain orientation, crystallinity kinetics, etc.), which are closely related to carrier transport, are evaluated. Next, the principal direction of carrier transport guiding the selection of the transport layer is revealed. Finally, an outlook is proposed and strategies for enhancing carrier transport in high-performance PSCs are rationalized.

Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) layered organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted extensive attention, owing to their excellent optoelectronic tunability and moisture stability compared with three-dimensional perovskite counterparts and show great potential for application in photodetectors (PDs). However, owing to the unavoidable grain boundary defects of perovskite polycrystalline films, the photocurrent is limited by poor light absorption and charge mobility. Therefore, the preparation of quasi-2D perovskite films with strong light trapping and high charge mobility has been challenging. In this study, novel broadband quasi-2D perovskite (BA)2(FA)n-1PbnI3n+1 hybrid-structure PDs with good stability were fabricated by combining both monolayer graphene and Au square nanoarrays. The hybrid system using both graphene and Au square nanoarrays effectively improved the carrier mobility and light absorption and simultaneously maximized light trapping and light-induced carrier extraction, which resulted in PDs with greatly enhanced photocurrent in the visible and near-infrared range. The graphene-Au array-perovskite-based PDs had a low dark current of 10-10 A, large on/off ratio of 104, high responsivity of 18.71 A W-1, and detectivity of 2.21 × 1013 Jones. The responsivity and detectivity were two orders of magnitude higher than those of PDs based only on perovskites. This work demonstrates a promising and feasible device based on the coupling of a gold array, layered graphene, and quasi-2D perovskites, which shows great potential for the development of high-performance broadband perovskite PDs.

Abstract
Although there are recent advances in many areas of quasi-2D halide perovskites, photodetectors based on these materials still cannot achieve satisfactory performance for practical applications where high responsivity, fast response, self-powered nature, and excellent mechanical flexibility are urgently desired. Herein, utilizing one-step spin-coating method, self-assemble quasi-2D perovskite films with graded phase distribution in the order of increasing number of metal halide octahedral layers are successfully prepared. Gradient type-II band alignments along the out-of-plane direction of perovskites with spontaneous separation of photo-generated electrons and holes are obtained and then employed to construct self-powered vertical-structure photodetectors for the first time. Without any driving voltage, the device exhibits impressive performance with the responsivity up to 444 mA W-1 and ultrashort response time down to 52 µs. With a bias voltage of 1.5 V, the device responsivity becomes 3463 mA W-1 with the response speed as fast as 24 µs. Importantly, the device's mechanical flexibility is greatly enhanced since the photocurrent prefers flowing through the metal halide octahedral layers between the top and bottom contact electrodes in the vertical device structure, being more tolerant to film damage. These results evidently indicate the potential of graded quasi-2D perovskite phases for next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The physical properties of two-dimensional (2D) lead halide based hybrid perovskites are quite exciting and challenging. Further, the role of organic cations in 2D perovskites is still in a debate. We investigated layered (CH3(CH2)3NH3)2(CH3NH3)Pb2I7 2D Ruddlesden-Popper (2DRP) phase (M1) and 2D derivative of CH3NH3PbI3 (M2) using density functional theory. The spin orbit coupling mediates the significantly large Rashba splitting energy of 328.5 meV for M2, which is higher than earlier 2D hybrid perovskites. At the picosecond time scale, the dynamical Rashba effect was observed due to organic and inorganic cation dynamics. Two step absorption suggests an indirect optical gap of 2.38 and 2.15 eV for M1 and M2, respectively and solar performance depicts excellent power conversion efficiency of 14.92% and 19.75% for M1 and M2, respectively. For the first time, we explored the thermoelectric properties of 2D hybrid perovskites and perceived high power factor for p-type doping in M2. Our findings suggest that these novel 2D perovskites have the potential to be used in solar and heat energy harvesting.

Abstract
Quasi-2D halide perovskites, especially the Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPPs), have attracted great attention because of their promising properties for optoelectronics; however, there are still serious drawbacks, such as inefficient charge transport, poor stability, and unsatisfactory mechanical flexibility, restricting further utilization in advanced technologies. Herein, high-quality quasi-2D halide perovskite thin films are successfully synthesized with the introduction of the unique bication ethylenediammonium (EDA) via a one-step spin-coating method. This bication EDA, with short alkyl chain length, can not only substitute the typically bulky and weakly van der Waals-interacted organic bilayer spacer cations forming the novel Dion-Jacobson phase to enhance the mechanical flexibility of the quasi-2D perovskite (e.g., EDA(MA)n-1PbnI3n+1; MA = CH3NH3+) but also serve as a normal cation to achieve the more intact films (e.g., (iBA)2(MA)3-2x(EDA)xPb4I13). When fabricated into photodetectors, these optimized EDA-based perovskites deliver an excellent responsivity of 125 mA/W and a fast response time down to 380 μs under 532 nm irradiation. More importantly, the device with the Dion-Jacobson phase perovskite can be bent down to a radius of 2 mm and processed with 10,000 cycles of the bending test without any noticeable performance degradation because of its superior structure to RPPs. Besides, these films do not exhibit any material deterioration after ambient storage for 30 days. All these performance parameters are already comparable or even better than those of the state-of-the-art RPPs recently reported. This work provides valuable design guidelines of the quasi-2D perovskites to obtain high-performance flexible photodetectors for next-generation optoelectronics.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently been considered as one of the most competitive contenders to commercial silicon solar cells in the photovoltaic field. The deposition process of a perovskite film is one of the most critical factors affecting the quality of the film formation and the photovoltaic performance. A hot-casting technique has been widely implemented to deposit high-quality perovskite films with large grain size, uniform thickness, and preferred crystalline orientation. In this review, we first review the classical nucleation and crystal growth theory and discuss those factors affecting the hot-casted perovskite film formation. Meanwhile, the effects of the deposition parameters such as temperature, thermal annealing, precursor chemistry, and atmosphere on the preparation of high-quality perovskite films and high-efficiency PSC devices are comprehensively discussed. The excellent stability of hot-casted perovskite films and integration with scalable deposition technology are conducive to the commercialization of PSCs. Finally, some open questions and future perspectives on the maturity of this technology toward the upscaling deposition of perovskite film for related optoelectronic devices are presented.

Abstract
2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites have attracted wide attention recently because of tunable optoelectronic properties and have been used as alternatives to their 3D counterparts in various optoelectronic devices. Here, a series of (PEA)2(MA) n -1Pb n I3 n +1 perovskite thin films is designed and fabricated by a convenient hot-casting method to obtain gradient n in the films, which leads to the formation of vertical heterojunctions that can enhance charge separation in the films under light illumination. Based on a single gradient perovskite film, a highly sensitive and stable photodetector with a responsivity up to 149 AW-1 and a specific detectivity of 2 × 1012 Jones is obtained. This work paves a way to realizing high-performance optoelectronic devices with enhanced charge separation by introducing compositional gradient in a perovskite film.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites have attracted significant attention due to their compositional flexibility and electronic diversity. Understanding the structure-property relationships in 2D double perovskites is essential for their development for optoelectronic applications. In this work, we observed the emergence of pressure-induced emission (PIE) at 2.5 GPa with a broad emission band and large Stokes shift from initially nonfluorescent (BA)4 AgBiBr8 (BA=CH3 (CH2 )3 NH3 + ). The emission intensity increased significantly upon further compression up to 8.2 GPa. Moreover, the band gap narrowed from the starting 2.61 eV to 2.19 eV at 25.0 GPa accompanied by a color change from light yellow to dark yellow. Analysis of combined in situ high-pressure photoluminescence, absorption, and angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction data indicates that the observed PIE can be attributed to the emission from self-trapped excitons. This coincides with [AgBr6 ]5- and [BiBr6 ]3- inter-octahedral tilting which cause a structural phase transition. High-pressure study on (BA)4 AgBiBr8 sheds light on the relationship between the structure and optical properties that may improve the material's potential applications in the fields of pressure sensing, information storage and trademark security.

Abstract
Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin film is a promising material for optoelectronic devices. In this work, we fabricate Mo/CZTSSe/CdS/ZnO/ITO (ITO, indium tin oxide) heterojunction photodetectors with favorable self-powered characteristics. The photodetector exhibits exceptional high-frequency photoresponse performance whose -3 dB bandwidth and rise/decay time have reached 1 MHz and 240/340 ns, respectively. For further improvement, ultrathin Al2O3 layer prepared via atomic layer deposition (ALD) process is introduced at the Mo/CZTSSe interface. The influence of ALD-Al2O3 layer thickness and its role on the photoresponse performance are investigated in detail. The interfacial layer proved to serve as a protective layer preventing selenization of Mo electrode, resulting in the reduction of MoSe2 transition layer and the decrease of series resistance of the device. Accordingly, the -3 dB bandwidth is remarkably extended to 3.5 MHz while the rise/decay time is dramatically improved to 60/77 ns with 16 cycles of ALD-Al2O3 layer, which is 4-5 orders of magnitude faster than the other reported CZTSSe photodetectors. Simultaneously, it is revealed that the ALD-Al2O3 interfacial layer acts as an electron blocking layer which leads to the effective suppression of carrier recombination at the rear surface. Consequently, the responsivity and detectivity are enhanced in the entire range while the maximum values are up to 0.39 AW-1 and 2.04 × 1011 Jones with 8 cycles of ALD-Al2O3, respectively. Finally, the CZTSSe photodetector is successfully integrated into a visible light communication system and obtains a satisfying transfer rate of 2 Mbps. These results indicate the satisfying performance of CZTSSe-based thin film photodetectors with great potential applications for communication.

Abstract
2D hybrid perovskites have shown great promise in the photodetection field, due to their intriguing attributes stemming from unique structural architectures. However, the great majority of detectors based on this 2D system possess a relatively low response speed (≈ms), making it extremely urgent to develop new candidates for superfast photodetection. Here, a new organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite, (PA)2 (FA)Pb2 I7 (EFA, where PA is n-pentylaminium and FA is formamidine), which features the 2D Ruddlesden-Popper type perovskite framework that is composed of the corner-sharing PbI6 octahedra is reported. Significantly, photodetectors fabricated on highly oriented thin films, which exhibit a perfect orientation parallel to 2D inorganic perovskite layers, exhibit a superfast response time up to ≈2.54 ns. To the best of the knowledge, this figure-of-merit catches up with that of the top-ranking commercial materials, and sets a new record for 2D hybrid perovskite photodetectors. Moreover, extremely high photodetectivity (≈1.73 × 1014 Jones, under an incident power intensity of ≈46 µW cm-2 ), considerable switching ratios (>103 ), and low dark current (≈10 pA) are also achieved in the detector, indicating its great potential for high-efficiency photodetection. These results shed light on the possibilities to explore new 2D candidates for assembling future high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Bottom-up epitaxy has been widely applied for transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) growth. However, this method usually leads to a high density of defects in the crystal, which limits its optoelectronic performance. Here, we show the effect of growth temperature on the defect formation, optical performance, and crystal stability in monolayer WSe2 via a combination of Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy study. We found that the defect formation and distribution in monolayer WSe2 are closely related to the growth temperature. These defect density and distribution can be controlled by adjusting the growth temperature. Aging experiments directly demonstrate that these defects are an active center for the decomposition process. Instead, monolayer WSe2 grown under optimal conditions shows a strong and uniform emission dominated by neutral exciton at room temperature. The results provide an effective approach to optimize TMDCs growth.

Abstract
The inherent instability of UV-induced degradation in TiO2-based perovskite solar cells was largely improved by replacing the anatase-phase compact TiO2 layer with an atomic sheet transport layer (ASTL) of two-dimensional (2D) Ti1-δO2. The vital role of microscopic carrier dynamics that govern the UV stability of perovskite solar cells was comprehensively examined in this work by performing time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. In conventional perovskite solar cells, the presence of a UV-active oxygen vacancy in compact TiO2 prohibits current generation by heavily trapping electrons after UV degradation. Conversely, the dominant vacancy type in the 2D Ti1-δO2 ASTL is a titanium vacancy, which is a shallow acceptor and is not UV-sensitive. Therefore, it significantly suppresses carrier recombination and extends UV stability in perovskite solar cells with a 2D Ti1-δO2 ASTL. Other carrier dynamics, such as electron diffusion, electron injection, and hot hole transfer processes, were found to be less affected by UV irradiation. Quantitative pump-probe data clearly show a correlation between the carrier dynamics and UV aging of perovskite solar cells, thus providing a profound insight into the factors driving UV-induced degradation in perovskite solar cells and the origin of its performance.

Abstract
Controlled synthesis of lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanostructures not only benefits fundamental research but also offers promise for applications. Among many synthesis techniques, although catalytic vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth is recognized as an effective route to achieve high-quality nanostructures, until now, there is no detailed report on VLS grown LHP nanomaterials due to the emerging challenges in perovskite synthesis. Here, we develop a direct VLS growth for single-crystalline all-inorganic lead halide perovskite ( i.e., CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, or I) nanowires (NWs). These NWs exhibit high-performance photodetection with the responsivity exceeding 4489 A/W and detectivity over 7.9 × 1012 Jones toward the visible light regime. Field-effect transistors (FET) based on individual CsPbX3 NWs are also fabricated, where they show the superior hole mobility of up to 3.05 cm2/(V s), higher than other all-inorganic LHP devices. This work provides important guidelines for the further improvement of these perovskite nanostructures for utilizations.

Abstract
Two-dimensional organic-inorganic perovskites have attracted considerable interest recently. Here, we present a systematic study of the temperature-dependent photoluminescence on phase pure (n-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-5) and (iso-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-3) microplates obtained by mechanical exfoliation. The photoluminescence peak position gradually changes from a red-shift for n = 1 to a blue-shift for n = 5 with an increase in temperature in the (n-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-5) series, while only a monotonous blue-shift has been observed for the (iso-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-3) series, which can be attributed to the competition between the thermal expansion interaction and electron-phonon interaction. In the (n-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-5) series, the thermal expansion interaction and electron-phonon interaction are both gradually enhanced and the former progressively dominates the latter from n = 1 to n = 5, resulting in the band gap versus temperature changing from a red-shift to a blue-shift. In contrast, both of these factors show a weaker layer thickness dependence, leading to the monotonous blue-shift in the (iso-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-3) series.

Abstract
Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been widely used in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), due to their high quantum yield (QY), tunable bandgap, and simple preparation. However, the red-emitting perovskite QDs are usually containing iodine (I), which is not stable under continuous light irradiation. Herein, perovskite-based WLED is fabricated by lead-free bismuth (Bi)-doped inorganic perovskites Cs2SnCl6 and less-lead Mn-doped CsPbCl3 QDs, which emits white light with color coordinates of (0.334, 0.297). The Bi-doped Cs2SnCl6 and Mn-doped CsPbCl3 QDs both show excellent stability when kept in the ambient air. As benefits from this desired characteristic, the as-prepared WLED shows excellent stability along with operating time. These results can promote the application of inorganic perovskite QDs in the field of WLEDs.
