Abstract
AbstractHybrid organic‐inorganic perovskite (HOIPs) has emerged as a great promising class of piezoelectric materials due to their solution processability, ease of structural adjustment, and high piezoelectricity. However, to date, their energy application and ultrasound detection has been relatively unexplored. Here, a pair of chiral two‐dimensional (2D) HOIPs, R‐/S‐[3MeOPEA]2PbBr4 (3MeOPEA=1‐(3‐Methoxyphenyl) ethylamine), were synthesized, and the structure, photoluminescence and piezoelectric properties are reported. Our results demonstrate these materials exhibit consistent broad PL peaks under 360 nm excitation and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal their direct bandgap characteristic. Moreover, the incorporation of chirality into the structure of R‐ and S‐[3MeOPEA]2PbBr4 endows them with significant piezoelectric properties. 5 wt% R‐[3MeOPEA]2PbBr4/PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) composite film can generate a maximum open‐circuit piezoelectric voltages (Voc) of 1.98 V and short circuit currents (Isc) of 0.50 μA upon a loading force of 2 N at 10 Hz. Additionally, the device can sensitively detect ultrasound waves underwater at varying distances of 3, 6, and 9 mm, with corresponding peak‐to‐peak voltage (Vp‐p) responses of 52.3 mV, 41.1 mV, and 31.7 mV, respectively. Our research broadens the potential applications of multifunctional chiral 2D perovskite materials in the fields of piezoelectric energy harvesting and underwater ultra‐sound detection.
