Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and perovskites hold substantial promise for various optoelectronic applications such as light emission, photodetection, and energy harvesting. However, each of these materials possesses certain limitations that can be overcome by synergistically combining them to form heterostructures, thereby unveiling intriguing optical properties. In this study, we present an uncomplicated technique for crafting a van der Waals (vdW) heterojunction comprising monolayer WS2 and a Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite, namely (TEA)2PbI4. By utilizing ultrafast transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy, we explored the charge carrier dynamics within the WS2/(TEA)2PbI4 heterostructure. Our findings uncover a type-II band alignment in the heterostructure, facilitating rapid (within 260 fs) hole transfer from WS2 to the perovskite and leading to the formation of interlayer excitons (IXs) with a much longer lifetime (728 ps). This strategic approach has the potential to contribute to the development of hybrid systems aimed at achieving high-performance optoelectronic devices.
