Abstract
The continuous progress in the synthesis and characterization of materials in the vast family of hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites have been pushed by their exceptional properties mainly in optoelectronic applications. Here, we have used specific reagents to design and synthesize a low dimensional semiconductor material, [Br(CH2)3N(CH3)3]2ZnBr4 using slow evaporation method which is crystalized in a monoclinic system with a P2/c space group with cell parameters of a = 23.572 (3) Å, b = 9.4987 (10) Å, c = 15.8731 (16) Å, β = 91.440 (4)° and Z = 6 at room temperature. The crystal structure of [Br(CH2)3N(CH3)3]2ZnBr4 was determined to be zero-dimensional (0D). In this structure, the inorganic [ZnBr4]2- anions are completely isolated from each other. These anionic groups are separated by [Br(CH2)3N(CH3)3]+ cations. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of the polycrystalline sample estimates the band gap, which was found to be approximately 3.36 eV. Differential scanning calorimetric analysis exhibits one irreversible phase transition at 358 K. The XRD as function of the temperature confirms this transition by the change of the symmetry of this material. The temperature-dependent Raman scattering study analyzed in detail the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of internal modes of the anions and cations which are connected by intermolecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and an intramolecular C-H⋯Br interaction. The change of energy activation confirms the phase transition. The electrical properties further validate the transition mechanism through the observed change in energy activation using the variation of the conductivity versus temperature.

Large low-field-driven electrocaloric effect in organic-inorganic hybrid TMCM-CdCl 3. Nat Commun 2025; 16:4009. [PMID: 40301308 PMCID: PMC12041295 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-58914-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2025] [Indexed: 05/01/2025] Open
Abstract
Due to environmental-friendliness and high-efficiency, electrocaloric effect (ECE) is widely regarded as a refrigeration technology for tomorrow. Herein, utilizing organic-inorganic hybridization strategy, we achieve the largest low-field-driven ECE and highest directly-measured electrocaloric strength (ECS) via packing sphere-like organic cation (CH3)3NCH2Cl+ (TMCM+) into inorganic one-dimension (1-D) CdCl3 chain framework. Single-crystal X-ray (SC-XRD) diffraction combined with Raman Spectra reveals that the simultaneous order-disorder transition of organic cations and dramatic structure change of inorganic framework are responsible for the large ECE. Moreover, the measured P-E loops and density function theory (DFT) calculations convey that the distinctive electric-field-induced metastable phase and consequential two-step meta-electric transition could lower the transition energy barrier and account for the low driving field. This work shows that the low-symmetry interaction between inorganic framework and organic cations plays a key role in achieving large ECE under low-field, which provides a method for designing high-performance electrocaloric materials via organic-inorganic hybridization.

Abstract
A newly developed indium-based hybrid compound, [(C9H8N)2(InCl6)·2(H2O)], was successfully synthesized using a slow evaporation method at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were employed to observe the morphology and chemical composition of the particles. Structural analysis was performed through crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and revealed that the studied material crystallized in the triclinic P1 space group. The atom packing in this structure was characterized by the presence of alternating organic and inorganic layers along the b-axis. These arrangements were stabilized through multiple hydrogen bonds and centroid-centroid stacking interactions occurring between nearly parallel organic cations. Vibrational and optical properties were also explored using FT-IR and UV-Vis methods, respectively. Additionally, thermal analysis was performed via TGA/DTA and DSC measurements to assess the thermal stability and phase transformation of the title compound. Analysis of the Hirshfeld surface was carried out to examine the interactions between molecules. This allowed a quantitative assessment of the relative contribution of these interactions in the crystal structure. AC conductivity measurements (10-6 Ω-1 cm-1) confirmed the semiconductor character of the compound. The conductivity mechanism was attributed to the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) mechanism. Furthermore, electrical modulus measurements demonstrated the presence of grain effects.

Abstract
Antiferroelectric (AFE) has emerged as a promising branch of electroactive materials, due to intriguing physical attributes stemming from the electric field-induced antipolar-to-polar phase transformation. However, the requirement of extremely high electric field strength to switch adjacent sublattice polarization poses great challenges for exploiting new molecular AFE system. Although photoirradiation is striking as a noncontact and nondestructive manipulation tool to optimize physical properties, optical control of antiferroelectricity still remains unexplored. Here, by adopting light-sensitive I3 - anion into 2D perovskite family, we design a new I3 --intercalated molecular AFE of (t-ACH)2EA2Pb3I10(I3)0.5 ⋅ ((H3O)(H2O))0.5 (1, t-ACH=trans-4-aminomethyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate, EA=ethylammonium). The I3 --intercalating gives an ultra-narrow band gap of 1.65 eV with strong absorption. In term of AFE structure, the anti-parallel alignment of electric dipoles results in a large spontaneous polarization of 4.3 μC/cm2. Strikingly, 1 merely shows AFE behaviour in the dark even under ultrahigh voltage, while the field-induced ferroelectric state can be facilely obtained upon visible illumination. Such unprecedented visible-photo-assisted phase switching ascribes to the incorporation of photoactive I3 - anions that reduces AFE-to-ferroelectric switching barrier. This pioneering work on the photo-assisting transformation of ferroic orders paves a way to develop future photoactive materials with potential applications.

Abstract
Antiferroelectric (AFE) materials, characterized by double electric hysteresis loops, can be transformed to the ferroelectric (FE) phase under an external electric field, making them promising candidates for electronic energy storage and solid-state refrigeration. Additionally, the field-induced strain in AFE materials is contingent upon the direction of the electric field, rendering it with a switching characteristic. Although AFE materials have made progress in the field of energy storage and negative electrocaloric effect, the coexistence of AFE and ferroelasticity is still rarely reported. Here, two isomorphic organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, HDAEPbCl4 and HDAEPbBr4 (HDAE is [2-(hydroxydimethylammonio)ethan-1-aminium]), exhibiting FE-AFE-PE (PE is paraelectric) phase transitions, are presented. Remarkably, the temperature range where AFE and ferroelasticity coexist is significantly broadened from 59.9 K to 115.1 K by strengthening short-range forces via halogen substitution. This discovery extends the family of FE, AFE, and ferroelastic materials, contributing to the development of multifunctional materials and advancing multifunctional material development.

Abstract
With the increasing research on giant dielectric materials, there is growing interest in the development of switching materials with giant dielectric properties. In this study, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid material (Et3NC2H4Br)FeCl4 was synthesized. It was characterized through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in situ temperature-dependent powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), which determined its phase transition temperature (TC) to be 362 K. Temperature-dependent dielectric measurements revealed that the material exhibited switchable dielectric properties, with the real part of the dielectric constant exceeding 106 at 500 Hz and a dielectric switching ratio surpassing 103. The ratio refers to the ratio between the high dielectric state and the low dielectric state of a step-like dielectric anomaly. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis confirmed that the material crystallized in the P21/c space group with a zero-dimensional structure. The optical bandgap, determined through UV-visible spectroscopy, was calculated to be 2.62 eV. Additionally, analysis using Hirshfeld surfaces and 2D fingerprint plots revealed that the predominant intermolecular interactions are H⋯Cl and H⋯H interactions. This study is anticipated to provide insights and hope for the design and application of high-temperature giant dielectric switching materials.

Abstract
Ferroelectricity, which has diverse important applications such as memory elements, capacitors, and sensors, was first discovered in a molecular compound, Rochelle salt, in 1920 by Valasek. Owing to their superiorities of lightweight, biocompatibility, structural tunability, mechanical flexibility, etc., the past decade has witnessed the renaissance of molecular ferroelectrics as promising complementary materials to commercial inorganic ferroelectrics. Thus, on the 100th anniversary of ferroelectricity, it is an opportune time to look into the future, specifically into how to push the boundaries of material design in molecular ferroelectric systems and finally overcome the hurdles to their commercialization. Herein, we present a comprehensive and accessible review of the appealing development of molecular ferroelectrics over the past 10 years, with an emphasis on their structural diversity, chemical design, exceptional properties, and potential applications. We believe that it will inspire intense, combined research efforts to enrich the family of high-performance molecular ferroelectrics and attract widespread interest from physicists and chemists to better understand the structure-function relationships governing improved applied functional device engineering.

Abstract
Polarization photodetection taking advantage of the anisotropy of 2D materials shines brilliantly in optoelectronic fields owing to differentiating optical information. However, the previously reported polarization detections are mostly dependent on external power sources, which is not conducive to device integration and energy conservation. Herein, a 2D polar perovskite (CBA)2CsPb2Br7 (CCPB, CBA = 4-chlorobenzyllamine) has been successfully synthesized, which shows anticipated bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) with an open-circuited photovoltage up to ≈0.2 V. Devices based on CCPB monomorph fulfill a fascinating self-powered polarized photodetection with a large polarization ratio of 2.7 at room temperature. Moreover, CCPB features a high phase-transition temperature (≈475 K) which prompts such self-powered polarized photodetection in a large temperature window of device operation, since BPVE generated by spontaneous polarization can only exist in the polar structure prior to the phase transition. Further computational investigation reveals the introduction of CBA+ with a large dipole moment contributes to quite large polarization (17.5 µC cm-2) and further super high phase transition temperature of CCPB. This study will promote the application of 2D perovskite materials for self-powered polarized photodetection in high-temperature conditions.

Abstract
Single-crystal membranes (SCMs) show great promise in the fields of sensors, light-emitting diodes, and photodetection. However, the growth of a large-area single-crystal membranes is challenging. We report a new organic-inorganic SCMs [HCMA]2CuBr4 (HCMA = cyclohexanemethylamine) crystallized at the gas-liquid interface. It also has low-temperature ferromagnetic order, high-temperature dielectric anomalies, and narrow band gap indirect semiconductor properties. Specifically, the reversible phase transition of the compound occurs at 350/341 K on cooling/heating and exhibits dielectric anomalies and stable switching performance near the phase transition temperature. The ferromagnetic exchange interaction in the inorganic octahedra and the organic layer enables ferromagnetic ordering at low-temperature 10 K. Finally, the single crystal exhibits an indirect semiconducting property with a narrow band gap of 0.99 eV. Such rich multichannel physical properties make it a potential application in photodetection, information storage and sensors.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202401221. [PMID: 38342759 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202401221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Metal-free molecular antiferroelectric (AFE) holds a promise for energy storage on account of its unique physical attributes. However, it is challenging to explore high-curie temperature (Tc) molecular AFEs, due to the lack of design strategies regarding the rise of phase transition energy barriers. By renewing the halogen substitution strategy, we have obtained a series of high-Tc molecular AFEs of the halogen-substituted phenethylammonium bromides (x-PEAB, x=H/F/Cl/Br), resembling the binary stator-rotator system. Strikingly, the p-site halogen substitution of PEA+ cationic rotators raises their phase transition energy barrier and greatly enhances Tc up to ~473 K for Br-PEAB, on par with the record-high Tc values for molecular AFEs. As a typical case, the member 4-fluorophenethylammonium bromide (F-PEAB) shows notable AFE properties, including high Tc (~374 K) and large electric polarization (~3.2 μC/cm2). Further, F-PEAB also exhibits a high energy storage efficiency (η) of 83.6 % even around Tc, catching up with other AFE oxides. This renewing halogen substitution strategy in the molecular AFE system provides an effective way to design high-Tc AFEs for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Luminescent ferroelectrics are holding exciting prospect for integrated photoelectronic devices due to potential light-polarization interactions at electron scale. Integrating ferroelectricity and long-lived afterglow emission in a single material would offer new possibilities for fundamental research and applications, however, related reports have been a blank to date. For the first time, we here achieved the combination of notable ferroelectricity and afterglow emission in an organic-inorganic hybrid material. Remarkably, the presented (4-methylpiperidium)CdCl3 also shows noticeable antiferroelectric behavior. The implementation of cationic customization and halogen engineering not only enables a dramatic enhancement of Curie temperature of 114.4 K but also brings a record longest emission lifetime up to 117.11 ms under ambient conditions, realizing a leapfrog improvement of at least two orders of magnitude compared to reported hybrid ferroelectrics so far. This finding would herald the emergence of novel application potential, such as multi-level density data storage or multifunctional sensors, towards the future integrated optoelectronic devices with multitasking capabilities.

Abstract
Antiferroelectric materials with an electrocaloric effect (ECE) have been developed as promising candidates for solid-state refrigeration. Despite the great advances in positive ECE, reports on negative ECE remain quite scarce because of its elusive physical mechanism. Here, a giant negative ECE (maximum ΔS ∼ -33.3 J kg-1 K-1 with ΔT ∼ -11.7 K) is demonstrated near room temperature in organometallic perovskite, iBA2EA2Pb3I10 (1, where iBA = isobutylammonium and EA = ethylammonium), which is comparable to the greatest ECE effects reported so far. Moreover, the ECE efficiency ΔS/ΔE (∼1.85 J cm kg-1 K-1 kV-1) and ΔT/ΔE (∼0.65 K cm kV-1) are almost 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of classical inorganic ceramic ferroelectrics and organic polymers, such as BaTiO3, SrBi2Ta2O9, Hf1/2Zr1/2O2, and P(VDF-TrFE). As far as we know, this is the first report on negative ECE in organometallic hybrid perovskite ferroelectric. Our experimental measurement combined with the first-principles calculations reveals that electric field-induced antipolar to polar structural transformation results in a large change in dipolar ordering (from 6.5 to 45 μC/cm2 under the ΔE of 18 kV/cm) that is closely related to the entropy change, which plays a key role in generating such giant negative ECE. This discovery of field-induced negative ECE is unprecedented in organometallic perovskite, which sheds light on the exploration of next-generation refrigeration devices with high cooling efficiency.

Abstract
In the past decade, metal halide materials have been favored by many researchers because of their excellent physical and chemical properties under thermal, electrical, and light stimuli, such as ferroelectricity, dielectric, nonlinearity, fluorescence, and semiconductors, greatly promoting their application in optoelectronic devices. In this study, we successfully constructed an unleaded organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite crystal: [Cl-C6H4-(CH2)2NH3]3SbBr6 (1), which underwent a high-temperature reversible phase transition near Tp = 368 K. The phase transition behavior of 1 was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, accompanied by a thermal hysteresis of 6 K. In addition, variable-temperature Raman spectroscopy analysis and PXRD further verified the sensitivity of 1 to temperature and the phase transition from low symmetry to high symmetry. Temperature-dependent dielectric testing shows that 1 can be a sensitive switching dielectric constant switching material. Remarkably, 1 exhibits strong photoluminescence emission with a wavelength of 478 nm and a narrow band gap of 2.7 eV in semiconductors. As the temperature increases and decreases, fluorescence undergoes significant changes, especially near Tc, which further confirms the reversible phase transition of 1. All of these findings provide new avenues for designing and assembling new phase change materials with high Tp and photoluminescence properties.

Abstract
Realization of highly tunable second-order nonlinear optical responses, e.g., second-harmonic generation and bulk photovoltaic effect, is critical for developing modern optical and optoelectronic devices. Recently, the van der Waals niobium oxide dihalides are discovered to exhibit unusually large second-harmonic generation. However, the physical origin and possible tunability of nonlinear optical responses in these materials remain to be unclear. In this article, we reveal that the large second-harmonic generation in NbOX2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) may be partially contributed by the large band nesting effect in different Brillouin zone. Interestingly, the NbOCl2 can exhibit dramatically different strain-dependent bulk photovoltaic effect under different polarized light, originating from the light-polarization-dependent orbital transitions. Importantly, we achieve a reversible ferroelectric-to-antiferroelectric phase transition in NbOCl2 and a reversible ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition in NbOI2 under a certain region of external pressure, accompanied by the greatly tunable nonlinear optical responses but with different microscopic mechanisms. Our study establishes the interesting external-field tunability of NbOX2 for nonlinear optical device applications.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides for high-temperature phase transition have become increasingly popular owing to their wide operating temperature range in practical applications, e.g., energy storage, permittivity switches and opto-electronic devices. This paper describes the subtle assembly of two new hybrid perovskite crystals, [Cl-C6H4-(CH2)2NH3]2CdX4 (X = Br 1; Cl 2), undergoing high-T reversible phase transformations around 335 K/356 K. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and VT PXRD tests uncover their reversible first-order phase transition behaviors. Furthermore, the compounds exhibit switchable dielectricity near T, making them potential dielectric switching materials. Hirshfeld surface analysis well discloses a distinct difference in hydrogen-bonding interaction between 1 and 2. UV spectra and computational analysis demonstrate that the compounds are a type of direct-band-gap semiconductor. This research will contribute an effective approach to the structure and development of multifunctional molecular hybrid crystals.

J Am Chem Soc 2023; 145:16193-16199. [PMID: 37462120 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.3c05020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
Polarization sensitivity, which shows great potential in photoelectric detection, is expected to be significantly improved by the ferroelectric anomalous photovoltaic (APV) effect. However, it is challenging to explore new APV-active ferroelectrics due to severe polarization fatigue induced by the leakage current of photoexcited carriers. For the first time, we report a strong APV effect in a 2D hybrid perovskite ferroelectric assembled by alloying mixed organic cations, (HA)2(EA)2Pb3Br10 (1, where HA+ is n-hexylammonium and EA+ is ethylammonium), which has a large spontaneous polarization ∼3.8 μC/cm2 and high a Curie temperature ∼378 K. Its ferroelectricity allows a strong APV effect with an above-bandgap photovoltage up to 7.4 V, which exceeds its bandgap (∼2.7 eV). Most strikingly, based on the dependence on polarized-light angle, this strong APV effect renders the highest level of polarization sensitivity with a giant current ratio of ∼25, far beyond other 2D single-phase materials. This study sheds light on the exploration of APV-active ferroelectrics and inspires their future high-performance optoelectronic device applications.

Nat Commun 2023; 14:2420. [PMID: 37105974 PMCID: PMC10140061 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-38007-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Halide double perovskites have recently emerged as an environmentally green candidate toward electronic and optoelectronic applications owing to their non-toxicity and versatile physical merits, whereas study on high-temperature antiferroelectric (AFE) with excellent anti-breakdown property remains a huge blank in this booming family. Herein, we present the first high-temperature AFE of the lead-free halide double perovskites, (CHMA)2CsAgBiBr7 (1, where CHMA+ is cyclohexylmethylammonium), by incorporating a flexible organic spacer cation. The typical double P-E hysteresis loops and J-E curves reveal its concrete high-temperature AFE behaviors, giving large polarizations of ~4.2 μC/cm2 and a high Curie temperature of 378 K. Such merits are on the highest level of molecular AFE materials. Particularly, the dynamic motional ordering of CHMA+ cation contributes to the formation of antipolar alignment and high electric breakdown field strength up to ~205 kV/cm with fatigue endurance over 104 cycles, almost outperforming the vast majority of molecule counterparts. This is the first demonstration of high-temperature AFE properties in the halide double perovskites, which will promote the exploration of new "green" candidates for anti-breakdown energy storage capacitor.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) are very eye-catching due to their chemical tunability and rich physical properties such as ferroelectricity, magnetism, photovoltaic properties and photoluminescence. However, no nickel-based OIHP ferroelectrics have been reported so far. Here, we designed an ABX3 OIHP ferroelectric (3-pyrrolinium)NiCl3, where the 3-pyrrolinium cations are located on the voids surrounded by one-dimensional chains composed of NiCl6-face-sharing octahedra via hydrogen bonding interactions. Such a unique structure enables the (3-pyrrolinium)NiCl3 with a high spontaneous polarization (P s) of 5.8 μC cm-2 and a high Curie temperature (T c) of 428 K, realizing dramatic enhancement of 112 and 52 K compared to its isostructural (3-pyrrolinium)MCl3 (M = Cd, Mn). To our knowledge, remarkably, (3-pyrrolinium)NiCl3 should be the first case of nickel(ii)-based OIHP ferroelectric to date, and its T c of 428 K (35 K above that of BaTiO3) is the highest among all reported one-dimensional OIHP ferroelectrics. This work offers a new structural building block for enriching the family of OIHP structures and will inspire the further exploration of new nickel(ii)-based OIHP ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have attracted tremendous research interest due to their unique structure and promising applications. However, research on the design, synthesis and properties of this kind of metal-free crystalline material is still in the exploratory stage. Herein, two 3D perovskite molecules [1,4-3.2.2-dabcn]NH4Br3 (1) and [1,4-3.2.2-dabcn]NH4I3·0.5H2O (2) were obtained by reacting 1,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane (1,4-3.2.2-dabcn) with NH4X (X = Br and I) in the corresponding concentrated halogen acids. The single X-ray diffraction results demonstrated that the inorganic framework structures in compounds 1 and 2 constructed with NH4Br and NH4I are completely different, caused by the radius of the bromide ion being smaller than that of the iodide ion. The 3D framework of compound 1 is constructed with a coplanar dimer [(NH4)2Br6]2- as the basic building unit, leading to the expanded 3D perovskite framework structure with a larger cavity to accommodate the 1,4-3.2.2-dabcn molecule. Nevertheless, compound 2 adopts a familiar 3D crystal framework structure with corner-sharing [(NH4)I6] octahedra, where the [1,4-3.2.2-dabcn] cations and water solvent molecule are confined in the cavities enclosed by the octahedra. Notably, both compounds exhibit reversible phase transition, dielectric anomaly and the second harmonic generation (SHG) effect. From the perspective of molecular design, this work is of great significance to guide the construction of new 3D metal-free perovskite molecular materials with reversible properties.

Abstract
Molecular antiferroelectrics (AFEs) have taken a booming position in the miniaturization of energy storage devices due to their low critical electric fields. However, regarding intrinsic competitions between dipolar interaction and steric hindrance, it is a challenge to exploit room-temperature molecular AFEs with high energy storage efficiency. Here, we present a new 2D hybrid perovskite-type AFE, (i-BA)2(FA)Pb2Br7 (1), which shows ultrahigh energy storage efficiencies at room temperature. Most strikingly, the typical double P-E hysteresis loops afford an ultrahigh storage efficiency up to ∼91% at low critical electric fields (E cr = 41 kV cm-1); this E cr value is much lower than those of state-of-the-art AFE oxides, revealing the potential of 1 for miniaturized energy-storage devices. In terms of the energy storage mechanism, the dynamic ordering and antiparallel reorientation of organic cations trigger its AFE-type phase transition at 303 K, thus giving a large spontaneous electric polarization of ∼3.7 μC cm-2, while the increasement of steric hindrance of the organic branched-chain i-BA+ spacer cations stabilizes its antipolar sublattices. To the best of our knowledge, this exploration of achieving ultrahigh energy storage efficiency at such a low critical electric field is unprecedented in the AFE family, which paves a pathway for miniaturized energy storage applications.

Abstract
Molecular ferroelectrics have gradually aroused great interest in both fundamental scientific research and technological applications because of their easy processing, light weight and mechanical flexibility. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite ferroelectrics (HOIPFs), as a class of molecule-based ferroelectrics, have diverse functionalities owing to their unique structure and have become a hot spot in molecular ferroelectrics research. Therefore, they are extremely attractive in the field of ferroelectrics. However, there seems to be a lack of systematic review of their design, performance and potential applications. Herein, we review the recent development of HOIPFs from lead-based, lead-free and metal-free perovskites, and outline the versatility of these ferroelectrics, including piezoelectricity for mechanical energy-harvesting and optoelectronic properties for photovoltaics and light detection. Furthermore, a perspective view of the challenges and future directions of HOIPFs is also highlighted.

Abstract
Symmetry is an essential concept in physics, chemistry and materials science. Comprehensive, authoritative and accessible symmetry theory can provide a strong impetus for the development of related materials science. Through the sustained efforts of physicists and crystallographers, researchers have mastered the relationship between structural symmetry and ferroelectricity, which demands crystallization in the 10 polar point groups. However, the symmetry requirement for antiferroelectricity is still ambiguous, and polar crystals possessing antiferroelectricity seem contradictory. This work systematically and comprehensively studies the transformation of dipole moments under symmetry operations, using accessible geometric methods and group theory. The results indicate crystals that crystallize in polar point groups 2 (C 2), m (C 1h), mm2 (C 2v), 4 (C 4), 4mm (C 4v), 3m (C 3v), 6 (C 6) and 6mm (C 6v) also possess anti-polar structure and are capable of Kittel-type antiferroelectricity. The anti-polar direction of each point group is also highlighted, which could provide a straightforward guide for antiferroelectric property measurement. Like ferroelectric crystals, antiferroelectric crystals belonging to polar point groups have great potential to become a family of important multifunctional electroactive and optical materials. This contribution refines antiferroelectric theory, will help facilitate and stimulate the discovery and rational design of novel antiferroelectric crystals, and enrich the potential functional applications of antiferroelectric materials.

Abstract
A new organic-inorganic hybrid, AZEMnBr, has been synthesized and characterized. The thermal differential scanning calorimetry, differential thermal analysis, and thermogravimetric analyses indicate one structural phase transition (PT) at 346 and 349 K, on cooling and heating, respectively. AZEMnBr crystallizes at 365 K in the orthorhombic, Pnma, structure, which transforms to monoclinic P21/n at 200 K. Due to the X-ray diffraction studies, the anionic MnBr42- moiety is discrete. The azetidinium cations show dynamical disorder in the high-temperature phase. In the proposed structural PT, the mechanism is classified as an order-disorder type. The structural changes affect the dielectric response. In this paper, the multiple switches between low- and high- dielectric states are presented. In addition, it was also observed that the crystal possesses a mutation of fluorescent properties between phase ON and OFF in the PT's point vicinity. We also demonstrate that EPR spectroscopy effectively detects PTs in structurally diverse Mn(II) complexes. AZEMnBr compounds show DC magnetic data consistent with the S = 5/2 spin system with small zero-field splitting, which was confirmed by EPR measurements and slow magnetic relaxation under the moderate DC magnetic field typical for a single-ion magnet behavior. Given the above, this organic-inorganic hybrid can be considered a rare example of multifunctional materials that exhibit dielectric, optical, and magnetic activity.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional (0D) metal halide hybrids with high exciton binding energy are excellent materials for lighting applications. Controlling/modulating the structure of the constituent metal halide units allows tunability of their photoluminescence properties. 0D manganese halide hybrids are currently attracting research efforts in lighting applications due to their eco-friendly and strong emission. However, structural transformation-induced tunability of their photophysical properties has rarely been reported. Herein, we demonstrate a rational synthetic strategy to modulate the structure and luminescence properties of 0D Mn(II) halide hybrids utilizing the structure-directing d10 metal ions (Cd2+/Zn2+). 0D metal halide hybrids of Cd2+/Zn2+, which act as hosts with tunable structures, accept Mn2+ ions as substitutional dopants. This structural flexibility of the host d10 metal ions is realized by optimizing the metal-to-ligand ratio (Cd/AEPip). This reaction parameter allows structural transformation from an octahedral (AEPipCdMnBrOh) to a tetrahedral (AEPipCdMnBrTd) 0D Mn halide hybrid with tunable luminescence (orange → green) with high photoluminescence quantum yield. Interestingly, when Zn2+ is utilized, a tetrahedral AEPipZnMnBr structure forms exclusively with strong green emission. Optical and single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis of the host and the doped system supports our experimental data and confirms the structure-directing role played by Cd2+/Zn2+ centers. This work demonstrates a rational strategy to modulate the structure/luminescence properties of 0D Mn(II) halide hybrids, which can further be implemented for other 0D metal halide hybrids.

Abstract
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite crystal, [ClC6H4(CH2)2NH3]2CuBr4 (1), having experienced an invertible high-temperature phase transition near Tc (the Curie temperature Tc = 355 K), has been successfully synthesized. The phase-transition characteristics for compound 1 are thoroughly revealed by specific heat capacity (Cp), differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry tests, possessing 16 K broad thermal hysteresis. Multiple-temperature powder X-ray diffraction analysis further proves the phase-transition behavior of compound 1. Moreover, compound 1 exhibits a significant steplike dielectric response near Tc, revealing that it can be deemed to be a promising dielectric switching material. The variable-temperature fluorescence experiments show distinct photoluminescence (PL) changes of compound 1. Further investigation and calculation disclose that the fluorescence lifetime of compound 1 can reach as long as 55.46 μs, indicating that it can be a potential PL material. All of these researches contribute a substitutable avenue in the design and construction of neoteric phase-transition compounds combining high Curie temperature and PL properties.

Abstract
Soft ferroelectrics based on organic and organic-inorganic hybrid materials have gained much interest among researchers owing to their electrically programmable and remnant polarization. This allows for the development of numerous flexible, foldable, and stretchable nonvolatile memories, when combined with various crystal engineering approaches to optimize their performance. Soft ferroelectrics have been recently considered to have an important role in the emerging human-connected electronics that involve diverse photoelectronic elements, particularly those requiring precise programmable electric fields, such as tactile sensors, synaptic devices, displays, photodetectors, and solar cells for facile human-machine interaction, human safety, and sustainability. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments in soft ferroelectric materials with an emphasis on their ferroelectric switching principles and their potential application in human-connected intelligent electronics. Based on the origins of ferroelectric atomic and/or molecular switching, the soft ferroelectrics are categorized into seven subgroups. In this review, the efficiency of soft ferroelectrics with their distinct ferroelectric characteristics utilized in various human-connected electronic devices with programmable electric field is demonstrated.

Abstract
Low-dimensional chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their unique intrinsic properties, including having potential applications in optoelectronic and spintronic devices. However, low-dimensional chiral molecular ferroelectrics are very rare. In this paper, we report a novel zero-dimensional molecular ferroelectric (C9H14N)2CdBr4 (C9H14N+ = protonated 3-phenylpropylamine), which has obvious dielectric and thermal anomalies and shows a high Curie temperature at 395 K. It crystallizes in the P21 space group at room temperature, showing a strong CD signal, large spontaneous polarization (P s = 13.5 μC cm-2), and a clear ferroelectric domain. In addition, it also exhibits a flexible SHG response. The photoluminescence spectrum shows that 1 has broadband luminescence. At the same time, compound 1 has a wide band gap, which is mainly contributed to by the inorganic CdBr4 tetrahedron. The high tunability of low-dimensional chiral molecular ferroelectrics also opens up a way to explore multifunctional chiral materials.

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

Abstract
Electrocaloric effect driven by electric fields displays great potential in realizing highly efficient solid-state refrigeration. Nevertheless, most known electrocaloric materials exhibit relatively poor cooling performance near room temperature, which hinders their further applications. The emerging family of hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics, which exhibits superior structural diversity, large heat exchange and broad property tenability, offers an ideal platform. Herein, we report an exceptionally large electrocaloric effect near room temperature in a designed hybrid perovskite ferroelectric [(CH3)2CHCH2NH3]2PbCl4, which exhibits a sharp first-order phase transition at 302 K, superior spontaneous polarization (>4.8 μC/cm2) and relatively small coercive field (<15 kV/cm). Strikingly, a large isothermal entropy change ΔS of 25.64 J/kg/K and adiabatic temperature change ΔT of 11.06 K under a small electric field ΔE of 29.7 kV/cm at room temperature are achieved, with giant electrocaloric strengths of isothermal ΔS/ΔE of 0.86 J·cm/kg/K/kV and adiabatic ΔT/ΔE of 370 mK·cm/kV, which is larger than those of traditional ferroelectrics. This work presents a general approach to the design of hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics, as well as provides a family of candidate materials with potentially prominent electrocaloric performance for room temperature solid-state refrigeration.

Abstract
Antiferroelectric (AFE) materials, featuring an antiparallel alignment of electric dipoles in the adjacent sublattices, are keeping a great promise toward solid-state refrigeration applications on account of their electrocaloric (EC) effects. Although extensive studies have been performed on inorganic oxide counterparts (e.g., PbZrO3 and AgNbO3), metal-free molecular AFE alternatives with the above-room-temperature EC activities are quite scarce but urgently demanded in terms of environmental issues. Herein, we present a new metal-free molecular AFE, cyclohexylmethylammonium bromide (CMB), which exhibits the unusual antiferroelectric-ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transitions around 364 and 368 K upon heating. The phase transition temperatures are much higher than the majority of known molecular AFE materials. The practical utilization level of electric polarization (∼6 μC/cm2) is clearly evidenced by the typical double polarization-electric field hysteresis loops. Strikingly, large positive and negative EC responses with the temperature changes (ΔT) of 4.2 and -3 K are achieved under an electric field of 20 kV/cm. The origin of its antiferroelectricity and EC properties is elucidated by the antipolar reorientation of cations along with displacement of bromine anions, being distinct from the known mechanism of inorganic oxides. Such intriguing AFE behaviors, including large polarization and EC effects, reveal great potentials of CMB for the solid-state refrigeration. This study sheds light on further exploration of new AFE candidates toward environmentally friendly solid-state cooling devices.

Abstract
High-Curie-temperature (Tc) ferroelectrics have exhibited broad applications in optoelectronic devices. Recently, two-dimensional multilayered perovskite ferroelectrics with excellent photoelectric attributes are attracting increasing interest as new systems of photoferroelectrics. However, the effective tuning of the Tc value of a multilayered perovskite photoferroelectric system still remains a huge challenge. Here, by a halogen substitution strategy to introduce bromine atoms on n-propylamine cations, the hybrid perovskite photoferroelectric (3-bromopropylaminium)2(formamidinium)Pb2Br7 (BFPB) with a high Tc value (348.5 K) was obtained. It is notable that BFPB adopts a two-dimensional bilayered inorganic framework, with tight linking to the organic cation by C-Br···Br-Pb halogen···halogen interactions and N-H···Br hydrogen bonds. Intriguingly, in comparison with the prototypical compound (n-propylaminium)2(formamidinium)Pb2Br7, a remarkable augmentation of 85.2 K in the resulting Tc value of BFPB is clearly observed, which further broadens the temperature range of its application. In combination with the remarkable ferroelectric and semiconducting attributes, the reversible bulk photovoltaic effect was realized in single crystals of BFPB. This finding can not only enhance the hybrid perovskite ferroelectric family but also further promote the photoelectric application of ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Low-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) possess more localized electronic states and narrower conduction and valence bands to promote self-trapping of excitons and stronger exciton emission; therefore, they are widely used as building blocks for various applications in the fields of optoelectronics, photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, luminescence, fluorescence, and so forth. Despite the past decades of intensive study, the discovered low-dimensional chiral HOIPs are rare as of the 1D chiral HOIP single crystals reported in 2003, as well as the low-dimensional chiral HOIP ferroelectrics are particularly scarce since the first chiral two-dimensional (2D) and/or one-dimensional (1D) HOIP ferroelectrics reported. Herein, two new low-dimensional HOIPs with the same conformational formula [R-MPA]2CdCl4 (R-MPA+ = (R)-(-)-1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamine) were successfully synthetized by means of regulating the stoichiometric proportion of R-MPA and CdCl2 in two ways of 1:1 (1) and 2:1 (2). By combining single-crystal X-ray diffraction, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-dependent dielectric constant, temperature-dependent second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect, polarization-dependent SHG response, and P-E hysteresis loop, we reveal that 1 is a 1D nonchiral molecular ferroelectric and 2 is the first zero-dimensional (0D) chiral ferroelectric with distinct CD signals; meanwhile, 2 exhibits increased properties of high-Tc, large dielectric constant, SHG isotropy, and ferroelectricity than that of 1. These results not only shed light on the high tunability of the low-dimensional HOIP ferroelectrics but also open up an avenue to explore multifunctional chiral ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Antiferroelectric materials, characterized by an antiparallel array of adjacent dipoles, are holding a bright future for solid-state refrigeration based on their electrocaloric (EC) effects. Despite great advances of inorganic oxides and some organic soft polymers, their EC effects are achieved under quite high electric fields that result in too low EC strengths for practical application. Currently, it is a challenge to exploit soft antiferroelectric with strong EC strengths. Here, by the mixed-cation alloying, we present a new perovskite-type soft antiferroelectric, (isopentylammonium)2CsPb2Br7 (1), which incorporates both an organic spacing cation and an inorganic perovskitizer Cs+ moiety. Remarkably, the synergic cooperativity between the reorientation of the organic spacer and atomic displacement of Cs+ cation triggers its multiple ferroelectric-antiferroelectric-paraelectric phase transitions at 321 and 350 K. Their natural polarization vs electric field hysteresis loops are characterized to confirm ferroelectric and antiferroelectric orders of 1, respectively. It is emphasized that, under a low electric field of 13 kV/cm, the antipolar dipole realignment in 1 endows a giant near-room-temperature EC strength (ΔTEC/ΔE) of 15.4 K m MV-1 at antiferroelectric phase. This merit is on par with the record-high value of BaTiO3 (∼16 K m/MV) but far beyond the state-of-the-art soft polymers. The underlying EC mechanism for 1 is ascribed to the extremely low critical field to switch dipoles, involving the reorientation of the organic spacer and the shift of the Cs+ cation. Besides, notable EC entropy change (∼4.1 J K-1 kg-1) and temperature change (∼2 K) reveal potentials of 1 for solid-state refrigeration. As far as we know, this discovery of near-room-temperature EC strengths is unprecedented in the hybrid perovskite family, which sheds light on the exploration of new soft antiferroelectrics toward high-efficiency refrigeration devices.

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

Abstract
![]()
The preparation of materials featuring
more than one ferroelectric phase represents a promising strategy
for controlling electrical properties arising from spontaneous polarization,
since it offers an added advantage of temperature-dependent toggling
between two different ferroelectric states. Here, we report on the
discovery of a unique ferroelectric–ferroelectric transition
in diisopropylammonium tetrabromocadmate (DPAC, (C6H16N)2[CdBr4]) with a Tc value of 244 K, which is continuous in nature.
Both phases crystallize in the same polar orthorhombic space group, Iab2. The temperature-resolved second-harmonic-generation
(SHG) measurements using 800 nm femtosecond laser pulses attest to
the polar structure of DPAC on either side of the phase
transition (PT). The dc conductivity parameters were estimated in
both solid phases. The anionic substructure is in the form of [CdBr4]2– discrete complexes (0D), while in the
voids of the structure, the diisopropylammonium cations are embedded.
The ferroelectric properties of phases I and II have been confirmed
by the reversible pyroelectric effect as well as by P–E loop investigations. On the basis of the
dielectric responses, the molecular mechanism of the PT at 244 K has
been postulated to be of mixed type with an indication of its displacive
nature. A novel ferroelectric crystal of (C6H16N)2[CdBr4] has been synthesized,
and a description of its properties (thermal, structural, electric,
second-harmonic generation) is presented. The ferroelectric properties
in phases I and II have been successfully confirmed by the reversible
pyroelectric effect as well as by P−E hysteresis loop investigations and SHG properties.

Abstract
There has been a great deal of recent interest in extended compounds containing Ru3+ and Ru4+ in light of their range of unusual physical properties. Many of these properties are displayed in compounds with the perovskite and related structures. Here we report an array of structurally diverse hybrid ruthenium halide perovskites and related compounds: MA2 RuX6 (X=Cl or Br), MA2 MRuX6 (M=Na, K or Ag; X=Cl or Br) and MA3 Ru2 X9 (X=Br) based upon the use of methylammonium (MA=CH3 NH3 + ) on the perovskite A site. The compounds MA2 RuX6 with Ru4+ crystallize in the trigonal space group R 3 ‾ m and can be described as vacancy-ordered double-perovskites. The ordered compounds MA2 MRuX6 with M+ and Ru3+ crystallize in a structure related to BaNiO3 with alternating MX6 and RuX6 face-shared octahedra forming linear chains in the trigonal P 3 ‾ m space group. The compound MA3 Ru2 Br9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group and displays pairs of face-sharing octahedra forming isolated Ru2 Br9 moieties with very short Ru-Ru contacts of 2.789 Å. The structural details, including the role of hydrogen bonding and dimensionality, as well as the optical and magnetic properties of these compounds are described. The magnetic behavior of all three classes of compounds is influenced by spin-orbit coupling and their temperature-dependent behavior has been compared with the predictions of the appropriate Kotani models.
