Article Abstract

Utilizing the manipulation of perovskite dimensions has been proven as an effective approach in regulating perovskite properties. Nevertheless, achieving precise control over the dimensions of perovskites within the same system poses a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a sophisticated method to attain precise dimensional control in metal-free perovskites (MFPs), specifically through the process of octahedron tailoring by compositional engineering. Accordingly, we successfully instigated a transition from HPIP-NHI ⋅ HO (3D), HPIP-NHI (2D) and HPIP-NHI (1D) structures. Notably, HPIP-NHI is the first 2D MFP. As anticipated, these perovskites exhibited completely distinct fluorescence and X-ray detection capabilities due to their differing dimensions. Remarkably, the 2D HPIP-NHI device effectively hindered ion migration perpendicular to the 2D layers, achieving the lowest detection limit of 12.2 nGy s among metal-free single crystals-based detectors. This study expands the dimensionality control strategies for MFPs and introduces, for the first time, the potential of 2D MFPs as high-performance X-ray detectors, thereby enriching the diversity of the MFPs family.

The ferroelectric diammonium hypodiphosphate, (NH)(HPO) (3), is the only known so far ammonium salt of hypodiphosphoric acid, HPO. A series of seven new ammonium salts is reported: triclinic (P1) (1) and monoclinic (C2/c) (2) polymorphs of monoammonium (NH)(HPO), isostructural (NH)(HPO)(HPO)·HO (4) and (NH)(HPO) (5), and tetraammonium (NH)(PO) (6), (NH)(PO)·HO (7) and (NH)(PO)·2HO (8). Monoammonium hypodiphosphates 1 and 2 crystallize in perovskite-type structures.

The development of photoelectrochemical water oxidation (PEC) systems has gained significant relevance in recent years due to the quest for clean fuels, where green hydrogen is one of the main actors in the energy transition. Particularly, there has been a need for precious metal-free electrodes and photoelectrodes that demonstrate high efficiency and stability aiming at having large-scale and low-cost green hydrogen production systems. This work shows advances toward this goal by using nonprecious catalysts and solution-processed materials to achieve efficient, low-cost, and stable photoelectrodes.

Metal-free perovskite (MFP) X-ray detectors have attracted attention due to biocompatibility and synthesizability. However, the necessity of high voltages for MFP X-ray detectors affects stability and safety. Although, the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) with spontaneous electric field is a potential alternative for X-ray detection without high voltage, the constitutive relationship of BPVE in MFP remains unclear.
