Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskites are stoichiometric compounds consisting of alternating inorganic metal-halide sheets and organoammonium cationic layers. This materials class is widely tailorable in composition, structure, and dimensionality and is providing an intriguing playground for the solid-state chemistry and physics communities to uncover structure-property relationships. In this Perspective, we describe semiconducting 2D perovskites containing lead and tin halide inorganic frameworks. In these 2D perovskites, charges are typically confined to the inorganic framework because of strong quantum and dielectric confinement effects, and exciton binding energies are many times greater than kT at room temperature. We describe the role of the heavy atoms in the inorganic framework, the geometry and chemistry of organic cations, and the “softness” of the organic-inorganic lattice on the electronic structure and dynamics of electrons, excitons, and phonons that govern the physical properties of these materials.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have been heavily investigated recently1–7 for their use in solar cells because in just a few years, the efficiency of perovskite-based solar cells has risen to rival commercial silicon solar cells.8 Hybrid perovskites comprise a metal (in recent work, typically Pb or Sn) atom in a corner-sharing octahedral halide cage, with a properly-sized9–12 positively charged organic (or cesium)13 cation occupying the interstitial space. Most solar cells are fabricated from three-dimensional (3D) perovskites that have a uniform structure throughout the material (Figure 1A). In these materials, the Goldschmidt tolerance parameter formalizes the restriction on overall size of the cation: if the cation is too large, a 3D perovskite lattice cannot crystallize.9,10 This restriction limits the degree of tunability that can be provided through cation modifications.14 Perovskite frenzy has brought renewed attention to two-dimensional (2D) analogues that were heavily studied in the 1990s-early 2000s. 2D hybrid perovskites spontaneously form if the length of the organic cation is increased (Figure 1B).11,12,15–17 2D perovskites are typically described as “perfect” quantum well superlattices because these materials have alternating organic and inorganic layers and are stoichiometric compounds that do not have the interfacial roughness common to molecular-beam epitaxially (MBE) grown quantum wells.18,19 Many 2D perovskites have a Type I band alignment of the organic and inorganic frameworks,20–22 with a few reports of Type II heterostructures realized through the introduction of conjugated organic cations.23,24 In addition, 2D perovskites show increased moisture stability compared to 3D analogues because of the inclusion of hydrophobic organic cations.25,26 The relaxation of the restriction on the length of the cation allows the properties of 2D perovskites to be tailored to a much greater degree because in addition to stoichiometric changes in metal and halide composition, there is a much wider range of acceptable organic cations11,24,27–30 and the thickness of the inorganic layers can be varied by controlling the number of inorganic layers n for each organic layer.1,26,31 In this Perspective, we

In conventional semiconductors, the valence band is made up of p-orbitals and the conduction band is made up of s-orbitals. This structure creates complexity in the valence band (e.g., heavy and light hole and spin-orbit bands), but not in the conduction band.47 In contrast, 3D and 2D hybrid perovskites have a valence band made up predominantly of halide p-orbitals hybridized with some metal s-orbital character, and a conduction band predominantly made of metal p-orbitals; in lead iodide hybrid perovskites, the relevant orbitals are I 5p, and Pb 6s and 6p.21,48,49 For a comprehensive discussion of the electronic structure of 3D and 2D perovskites, we refer the reader to Ref. 46, as the band structure depends on the details of the crystal structure of the perovskite.

spin-dependent properties and the possibility of exotic Rashba and Dresselhaus effects.48–52 In the Rashba or Dresselhaus effect, charge carriers experience an effective magnetic field, and the non-centrosymmetric potential can cause one

spin orientation to be stabilized.51 Recently, a “giant” Rashba splitting was claimed to be observed in phenethylammonium lead iodide (PEA2PbI4), indicating the potential for 2D perovskites in spintronics applications.53 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

The correlation between crystal and electronic structures and its influence on optical properties has been most widely explored. We describe the structure-property relationship as the geometry and chemistry of the organic cation and the composition and dimensionality of the inorganic framework are tailored in 2D perovskites. Length of the Organic Cation: 2D perovskites can be synthesized with different chain length L alkylammonium cations. The length L of typical alkylammonium cations CmH2m+1NH3+ where m ≥ 4 has a negligible effect on the optical properties of the perovskite.15 For example, 1.6 K optical absorption spectra of cleaved single crystals of (CmH2m+1NH3)2PbI4 with m = 4, 8, 9, 10, and 12, in which the interlayer Pb-Pb distance (L + d, Figures 1B and C) varies from 15.17 Å to 24.51 Å, show a similar 320±30 meV exciton binding energy.15 Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements show thermally-activated quenching of the free-exciton luminescence intensity with an activation energy near room temperature of 370±50 meV in single crystals of the same materials.15 This higher temperature activation energy has been compared with the low temperature exciton binding energy in support of the insensitivity of the optical properties to alkyl chain length; however, these values may vary as these 2D perovskites undergo a structural phase transition (discussed later in this perspective) between temperatures of 250 K and 310 K that depends on m and correlates with melting of the amine (e.g., m = 4, 8, 9, and 10 are in the low temperature phase and m = 12 is in the high temperature phase), and as the crystals can degrade under illumination during measurements.15 Dielectric Constant of the Organic Cation ($2 ): While simply changing the length L of the organic cation has little effect on the electronic and optical properties, changing the dielectric constant of the organic cation $2 , e.g., by choosing aromatic instead of aliphatic amines, significantly decreases the exciton binding energy in   1 2D perovskites. For instance 10 K absorption spectra of single crystals show a decrease in exciton binding energy from 320 meV in (C10H21NH3)2PbI4 (Figure 2B(i)) to 220 meV in PEA2PbI4 (Figure 2B(ii)), consistent with PEA+ having a higher dielectric constant $2 than alkyl amines including C10H21NH3+.36 The activation energy for PL quenching in PEA2PbI4 single crystals is 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

found to be 220±30 meV. The electronic band gap also decreases,36 in accord with dielectric confinement.44 The local environment of the perovskite sample also affects the exciton binding energy. A recent study on butylammonium lead iodide (BA2PbI4, BA=C4H9NH3+) single crystals found an exciton binding energy of 370 meV that is enhanced substantially to 490 meV upon exfoliation and transfer such that the perovskite layer is bounded by silica (ϵ  2.13) on one side and air (ϵ  1) on the other.54 The increase in dielectric confinement created by the sample environment should also increase the band gap of the exfoliated layer compared to that of the crystal, though this is hard to directly compare at low temperatures

inorganic octahedra (Figure 1B, green). For example, in 2D lead iodide perovskites, the maximum cross-sectional area is on the order of

40 Å2.12 The limited cross-sectional area available to host the organic cation can also be harnessed to tailor the optical properties of the perovskite by straining the inorganic framework. Increasing the crosssectional area of the organic cation will change the orientation of the cations in the organic framework, and for the perovskite to crystallize, the inter-octahedral metal-halide-metal bond angle must change to accommodate the larger cation (Figure 3A), though it is possible for the cation to be too large for a perovskite structure to form.11 Reduction of the metal-halide-metal bond angle from the ideal 180° alters the band structure and increases the band gap of the perovskite.27 This effect has been seen experimentally in 2D tin-halide perovskites.27–29 Experimental exciton resonances in SnI4-based 2D perovskites with

functionalized aromatic moieties and ethylammonium tethers are plotted against the Sn-I-Sn bond angle in Figure 3B.27 Strain effects are also reported in 2D lead halide perovskites. A recent study found that in 2D lead halide perovskites containing aromatic cations, the length of the alkyl tether connecting the ammonium cation to the aromatic moiety has a much larger effect on the band gap than the number of aromatic rings on the cation.19 A methyl tether results in more strain and a smaller Pb-X-Pb (X=Cl, Br, I) bond angle than an ethyl tether.19 We are not aware of any studies quantitatively probing the effect of strain on the exciton binding energy. However, akin to strain engineering in conventional Si electronics55 and in 3D perovskites56 which warps the light and heavy hole bands, we expect strain in 2D perovskites will modify the band structure, changing the carrier effective masses and therefore the exciton binding energy. Mixed Cation Systems: The properties of 2D hybrid perovskites can be further tuned through mixedcation systems. For instance, perovskites have been fabricated using multiple cations that differ in crosssectional area or dielectric constant. Xu and Mitzi demonstrated that by tailoring the ratio of A = 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenethylammonium (5FPEA) and A = 2-napthyleneethylammonium (NEA) cations in A2SnI4 2D perovskites, the energy of the excitonic resonance can be continuously tuned from 572 nm (pure 5FPEA) to 602 nm (pure NEA).57 They also fabricated thin films of a perovskite containing five different cations that form a single-phase film and suggested that incorporating multiple cations may prove beneficial in perovskite-based devices because adding cations containing thiols or hydroxyls, for example, could favorably interact with substrates, contacts, or other interfaces while also maintaining the broad optical tunability.57

Diammonium Cations: In addition to cations that contain a single positively charged nitrogen atom, diammonium cations can be employed to remove the van der Waals gap and directly link layers together. Diammonium cations have been extensively studied in 2D perovskite systems containing metals such as Cd and Cu,16 but only limited studies have been carried out on Pb and Sn perovskites.11,32 If the cations are assumed to be rigid, monoammonium cations will result in a

length (e.g., Figure 1B), but diammonium cations would result in an eclipsed structure because of the rigid linkers (Figure 4).16 In reality, cations are not rigid, so this general principle does not always hold.11 The 2D diammonium lead iodide perovskites NH3(CH2)mNH3PbI4 (m = 4, 6, 8) have been recently synthesized and characterized.58 These perovskites exhibit the typical corner-sharing perovskite structure, though the inorganic framework is slightly corrugated,58 which likely originates from the geometrical constraints imposed by the diammonium cation. As m increases from 4 to 6 to 8, the band gap increases.58 The authors hypothesized that the increase in band gap may be related to an increase in quantum confinement (i.e., a reduction in tunneling between inorganic layers) with longer cations;58 an increase in dielectric confinement would have a similar effect. The interlayer distance (d + L) in NH3(CH3)mNH3PbI4 for 4 ≤ m ≤ 8 ranges from 10.38 Å to 13.73 Å,58 which are all shorter than the 15.17 Å interlayer distance for the BA2PbI4 compound.15 Even though (CmH2m+1NH3)2PbI4 (m ≥ 4) do not show an increase in quantum or dielectric confinement effects with increasing m, it is possible that for NH3(CH3)mNH3PbI4 (m = 4, 6, 8) the alkyl diammonium cations are short enough that adjacent inorganic layers are somewhat

electronically coupled. The increase is likely not caused by greater strain because the Pb-I-Pb bond angle decreases only slightly as m increases.58 We are not aware of any detailed studies of tunneling or of the reduction in dielectric confinement as the distance between adjacent inorganic layers in 2D perovskites decreases. However, the use of even shorter diammonium cations (m = 2, 3) is expected to result in stronger coupling between adjacent inorganic layers and provide further flexibility in tuning the bandgap and exciton binding energy of 2D perovskites and perhaps allow for the generation of indirect excitons.59 In the Cu-based 2D perovskite NH3C2H4NH3CuBr4, the interlayer Br-Br distance (L) is 3.602 Å, which is almost 0.3 Å smaller than two times the van der Waals radius of Br, and in NH3C3H6NH3CuBr4, the interlayer Br-Br distance is 4.063 Å, only slightly larger than the sum of Br van der Waals radii.11,60 However, an investigation into the effects of very short cations must be done carefully because lattice distortions introduced by short diammonium cations may be significant enough to dominate reductions in quantum and dielectric confinement. More complicated diammonium Pb and Sn halides have also been synthesized. A tin iodide perovskite (CH3)3NCH2CH2NH3SnI4 has been formed, where the cation contains one primary and one quaternary amine headgroup.61 This cation results in a short iodine-iodine distance of 4.19 Å between adjacent inorganic layers (compared to 16.30 Å in PEA2SnI4)62 as well as an average Sn-I-Sn bond angle of 166.9° and an excitonic absorption transition of 630 nm, compared to 156.5° and 609 nm in PEA2SnI4.61 The lower energy excitonic transition has been attributed to interactions between iodine atoms in adjacent layers as well as a reduction in strain, indicated by the larger bond angle.27,61 The electronic band gap has not been reported,61 so we are unable to dissect the exciton binding energy and band gap separately. Cationic Phase Transitions: We already described examples above where, in addition to tuning the length and dielectric constant, for some organic cations the perovskite undergoes a phase transition upon cooling.15,63,64 We highlight these phase transitions here as they drive changes in band structure that complicate the evaluation of temperature-dependent optical properties.46 The influence of the structural 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

phase transition on band gap is readily seen by eye at temperatures between 235 and 310 K in alkylammonium lead halide perovskites [(CmH2m+1NH3)2PbI4, m = 4, 8, 9, 10, and 12] as a change in color from orange at high temperature to yellow at low temperature.15 Notably, this phase transition is absent for (C6H13NH3)2PbI4.15 In addition, no phase transition is observed in PEA2PbI4,36 demonstrating the influence of the cation on the thermodynamic properties of 2D hybrid perovskites. Interactions between 2D perovskites and the surrounding environment also affect phase transitions. The interaction of an exfoliated sheet with a silica substrate suppresses the freezing/melting phase transition in BA2PbI4,54 and this distinction must be taken into account when comparing the temperature-dependent optical properties of exfoliated sheets and larger single crystals. Halide and Metal Substitutions: The band gap of 2D perovskites can be tuned through halide substitution. Replacing iodide with bromide or chloride results in an increase in the band gap,11,19,32,65 as it does in 3D hybrid perovskites, and is consistent with lowering of the valence band maximum that has predominantly halide p-character.66 Mixed halide systems can also be used to further tailor the optical and electronic properties. By using two halides in PEA-based 2D perovskites and varying the proportion z in (PEA2PbX4(1-z)Y4z, X, Y = Cl, Br, I), the band gap can be continuously tuned.67 We are not aware of quantitative studies of the halide-dependent exciton binding energy in 2D perovskites.

mass and in inverse proportion to the square of the dielectric constant. Although studies of effective mass do not conclusively show a difference between lead iodide and lead bromide perovskites,38,68,69 as iodide is replaced by bromide and then chloride and the band gap increases, % and 9 and therefore EB are anticipated to increase for perovskites with similar crystal and band structures.70 Increases in the carrier effective masses will also reduce the carrier mobility. In the 3D perovskites, the dielectric constants trend as $:;?@ < $:; 175 Um in Solution-Grown CH3NH3PbI3 Single Crystals. Science 2015, 347, 967–970.
