Article Abstract
Birefringent crystals have important applications in optoelectronics areas due to their ability to modulate and polarize light. Despite increasing discovery of the birefringence potential of new crystals, it remains a great challenge to optimize both birefringence and bandgap simultaneously. Herein, a 1D chain-like hybrid perovskite birefringent crystal designed by 3D-to-1D dimensional tailoring, (GAM) PbI ·H O (GAM = C N H ), is presented, showing enlarged birefringence of 0.49@550 nm and enlarged optical bandgap (2.48 eV). Consequently, the birefringent quality factor of (GAM) PbI ·H O is up to 2.8 times that of the template MAPbI . In particular, the birefringence is much larger than those of commercial birefringent crystals and surpasses that of the vast majority of hybrid perovskite known to date. Theoretical calculations reveal that the strongly anisotropic arrangement of (GAM) π-conjugated cations and ordered PbI octahedra contributes to the large birefringence and wide bandgap of (GAM) PbI ·H O. It is believed that this work will provide a new pathway toward the rational design and synthesis of hybrid perovskite birefringent crystals for compact wide-bandgap polarization dependent devices.

2D lead-halide perovskites have garnered considerable attention owing to their superior environmental stability and tunable optoelectronic properties, which can be precisely controlled through varying quantum well (QW) width (denoted by the integer n). However, the commonly observed phenomenon of mixed QW width distributions poses a major obstacle to achieving optimal device performance, necessitating an in-depth understanding of how QW width distributions depend on chemical composition and thermodynamic stability. In this work, a robust machine learning (ML)-based energy model is developed, rigorously benchmarked against first-principles calculations, enabling extensive molecular-level simulations of 2D perovskites with butylammonium (BA) and phenethylammonium (PEA) spacer cations.

We used a hybrid two-step perovskite deposition method that is compatible with industry-standard textured silicon, incorporating a perovskite surface treatment based on 1,3-diaminopropane dihydroiodide. The interaction of this molecule with the perovskite surface increased the majority charge carrier concentration at the electron-selective contact, which reduced interfacial recombination.

This study presents a simple method for embedding inorganic-organic hybrid lead halide perovskite (CHNH)PbX (X = Cl, Br, or I) nanocrystals (NCs) into the interlayer spaces of the layered polysilicate kenyaite. (CHNH)PbX NC-embedded kenyaite composites (MPX@kenyaite) were synthesized by immersing Pb-containing kenyaite in (CHNH)X-containing 2-propanol. According to X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, and scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses, (CHNH)PbX NCs with diameters of 5.

In conventional semiconductors, electrical and thermal conductivity are typically coupled, posing a challenge in optimizing both simultaneously. Overcoming this inherent trade-off enables strategies for advancing electronic applications. Herein, a strategy is demonstrated to decouple electrical and thermal conductivity trade-off by creating heterostructures of highly conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) coated with low conductivity hybrid perovskites.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) offer a promising pathway for the development of low-cost and efficient solar hydrogen production systems. Despite remarkable advancements, poor chemical stability of the OIHPs in aqueous environments limits their practical applications. Herein, we design a photoelectrochemical (PEC) device consisting of layer-by-layer assembled P(VDF-TrFE)/CHNHPbBr (MAPbBr) hybrid films that simultaneously achieve efficient and stable solar water splitting.
