Two-dimensional tin halide perovskites are of significant interest for light emitting applications. Here, we investigate the effect of organic cation A on the stability of different Dion–Jacobson tin-based halide perovskites. The ASnBr4 materials using diammonium cation A with shorter alkyl chains are found to exhibit improved stability, exhibiting dramatic stability difference between the most stable HDASnBr4, where HDA denotes 1,6-hexanediammonium, and two materials with 8- and 10-carbon alkyl chain ammonium cations. The HDASnBr4 powders were thermally stable at 100 °C in an argon environment but exhibited decreasing photoluminescence with time in ambient air at 100 °C. The sample degradation at 100 °C is accelerated compared to room temperature, but it proceeds along similar pathways, namely phase transformation followed by perovskite decomposition. Light emission from HDASnBr4 thin films could be further enhanced by methanol vapor treatment, and warm white emission with Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates (0.37, 0.34) could be obtained by combining HDASnBr4 with a blue-emitting polymer film, while direct mixing of blue phosphor and HDASnBr4 powder yields white emission with CIE coordinates of (0.34, 0.32).

We report on the use of 2D Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites as optoelectronic materials in building-integrated applications, addressing the challenge of balancing transparency, photoluminescence, and stability. With the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), the 2D RP films exhibit superior transparency compared to their 3D counterparts with an average visible transmittance (AVT) greater than 50% and photoluminescence stability under continuous illumination and 85 °C heat for up to 100 h as bare, unencapsulated films. Structural investigations show a stress relaxation in the 3D perovskite films after degradation from thermal aging that is not observed in the 2D RP films, which retain their phase after thermal and light aging. We also demonstrate ultrasmooth, wide-bandgap 2D Dion–Jacobson (DJ) films with PVP incorporation up to 2.95 eV, an AVT above 70%, and roughnesses of ~2 nm. These findings contribute to the development of next-generation solar materials, paving the way for their integration into built structures. Full article

The noteworthy stability of Dion–Jacobson (DJ) phase two-dimensional perovskites marks them as potential contenders for use in optoelectronic applications. Nonetheless, their proliferation is considerably stymied by the constrained charge transport properties inherent to them. This bottleneck is adeptly navigated by deploying 2D-DJ perovskite top layers, seamlessly integrated on 3D perovskite films. We unveil a novel organic cation salt, 4-(Aminomethyl)piperidine (4AMP), as a potent facilitator for treating perovskite photovoltaic films. By employing the annealing technique, we facilitated the in situ creation of a hybrid 2D/3D architecture. Contrasted with conventional 3D architectures, the delineated perovskite heterojunctions with a 2D/3D structure exhibit superior enhanced charge separation, and mitigate photovoltaic losses by proficiently passivating intrinsic defects. The size-graded perovskite 2D/3D structure engineered herein significantly elevates the charge transfer performance, concurrently attenuating the excess lead iodide induced by bulk defects. This precise method resulted in a significant increase in Power Conversion Efficiency, reaching 23.08%, along with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.17 V. Remarkably, the unpackaged modified device robustly retains 92% of its initial PCE post a 3000 h sojourn under ambient conditions. This discourse propounds a novel paradigm for constructing stable planar PSC 2D/3D heterojunctions, thereby enriching the blueprint for advanced perovskite-based photovoltaic systems. Full article

A protonated and hydrated Dion-Jacobson-phase HSr2Nb3O10∙yH2O was used to prepare two series of inorganic–organic derivatives containing non-covalently intercalated n-alkylamines and covalently grafted n-alkoxy groups of different lengths, as they are promising hybrid materials for photocatalytic applications. Preparation of the derivatives was carried out both under the conditions of standard laboratory synthesis and by solvothermal methods. For all the hybrid compounds synthesized structure, quantitative composition, a type of bonding between inorganic and organic parts as well as light absorption range were discussed using powder XRD, Raman, IR and NMR spectroscopy, TG, elemental CHN analysis, and DRS. It was shown that the inorganic–organic samples obtained contain approximately one interlayer organic molecule or group per proton of the initial niobate, as well as some amount of intercalated water. In addition, the thermal stability of the hybrid compounds strongly depends on the nature of the organic component anchoring to the niobate matrix. Although non-covalent amine derivatives are stable only at low temperatures, covalent alkoxy ones can withstand heat up to 250 °C without perceptible decomposition. The fundamental absorption edge of both the initial niobate and the products of its organic modification lies in the near-ultraviolet region (370–385 nm). Full article

High-quality, uniaxially oriented, and flexible PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) films were fabricated on flexible RbLaNb2O7/BaTiO3 (RLNO/BTO)-coated polyimide (PI) substrates. All layers were fabricated by a photo-assisted chemical solution deposition (PCSD) process using KrF laser irradiation for photocrystallization of the printed precursors. The Dion–Jacobson perovskite RLNO thin films on flexible PI sheets were employed as seed layers for the uniaxially oriented growth of PZT films. To obtain the uniaxially oriented RLNO seed layer, a BTO nanoparticle-dispersion interlayer was fabricated to avoid PI substrate surface damage under excess photothermal heating, and the RLNO has been orientedly grown only at around 40 mJ·cm−2 at 300 °C. The prepared RLNO seed layer on the BTO/PI substrate showed very high (010)-oriented growth with a very high Lotgering factor (F(010) = 1.0). By using the flexible (010)-oriented RLNO film on BTO/PI, PZT film crystal growth was possible via KrF laser irradiation of a sol–gel-derived precursor film at 50 mJ·cm−2 at 300 °C. The obtained PZT film showed highly (001)-oriented growth on the flexible plastic substrates with F(001) = 0.92 without any micro-cracks. The RLNO was only uniaxial-oriented grown at the top part of the RLNO amorphous precursor layer. The oriented grown and amorphous phases of RLNO would have two important roles for this multilayered film formation: (1) triggering orientation growth of the PZT film at the top and (2) the stress relaxation of the underneath BTO layer to suppress the micro-crack formation. This is the first time that PZT films have been crystallized directly on flexible substrates. The combined processes of photocrystallization and chemical solution deposition are a cost-effective and highly on-demand process for the fabrication of flexible devices. Full article

Lead-free two-dimensional metal halide perovskites have recently emerged as promising light-emitting materials due to their improved stability and attractive optical properties. Herein, a facile room temperature wet milling method has been developed to make Dion–Jacobson (DJ) phase ODASnBr4 perovskite microcrystals, whose crystallization was accomplished via the aid of introduced primary alcohols: ethanol, butanol, pentanol, and hexanol. Due to the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the use of ethanol promoted the formation of non-doped ODASnBr4 microcrystals, with an emission peaked at 599 nm and a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) of 81%. By introducing other primary alcohols with weaker intermolecular hydrogen bonding such as butanol, pentanol, and hexanol, [SnBr6]4− octahedral slabs of the DJ perovskite microcrystals experienced various degrees of expansion while forming O–H…Br hydrogen bonds. This resulted in the emission spectra of these alcohol-doped microcrystals to be adjusted in the range from 572 to 601 nm, while keeping the PL QY high, at around 89%. Our synthetic strategy provides a viable pathway towards strongly emitting lead-free DJ perovskite microcrystals with an improved stability. Full article

The photocatalytic activity of layered perovskite-like oxides in water splitting reaction is dependent on the hydration level and species located in the interlayer slab: simple or complex cations as well as hydrogen-bonded or non-hydrogen-bonded H2O. To study proton localization and dynamics in the HCa2Nb3O10·yH2O photocatalyst with different hydration levels (hydrated—α-form, dehydrated—γ-form, and intermediate—β-form), complementary Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques were applied. 1H Magic Angle Spinning NMR evidences the presence of different proton containing species in the interlayer slab depending on the hydration level. For α-form, HCa2Nb3O10·1.6H2O, 1H MAS NMR spectra reveal H3O+. Its molecular motion parameters were determined from 1H spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T) using the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) correlation function with stretching exponent β = 0.28: Ea=0.2102 eV, τ0=9.01 × 1012 s. For the β-form, HCa2Nb3O10·0.8H2O, the only 1H NMR line is the result of an exchange between lattice and non-hydrogen-bonded water protons. T(1/T) indicates the presence of two characteristic points (224 and 176 K), at which proton dynamics change. The γ-form, HCa2Nb3O10·0.1H2O, contains bulk water and interlayer H+ in regular sites. 1H NMR spectra suggest two inequivalent cation positions. The parameters of the proton motion, found within the KWW model, are as follows: Ea=0.2178 eV, τ0=8.29 × 1010 s. Full article

The phase behavior of the layered perovskite CsBi0.6La0.4Nb2O7, of the Dion-Jacobson family, has been studied by high-resolution powder neutron diffraction between the temperatures of 25 < T < 850 °C. At ambient temperature, this material adopts the polar space group P21am; this represents an example of hybrid improper ferroelectricity caused by the interaction of two distinct octahedral tilt modes. Within the limits of our data resolution, the thermal evolution of the crystal structure is consistent with a first-order transition between 700 and 750 °C, with both tilt modes vanishing simultaneously, leading to the aristotype space group P4/mmm. This apparent “avalanche transition” behavior resembles that seen in the related Aurivillius phase SrBi2Nb2O9. Full article
