Recent progress of two‐dimensional lead halide perovskite single crystals: Crystal growth, physical properties, and device applications

Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, research on organic‐inorganic lead halide two‐dimensional (2D) perovskites has been blossoming. 2D perovskites have completely different layered structures from three‐dimensional perovskites, with interleaved organic and inorganic layers, leading to 2D perovskite materials being more stable and possessing anisotropic electrical transport. Meanwhile, 2D organic‐inorganic lead halide perovskite single crystals are receiving increasing attention because of their remarkable properties, such as long charge carrier lifetime, low defect density, and high photoluminescence quantum yield, increasing their potential for optoelectronic applications. Previously, a series of material systems based 2D perovskites single crystals has been synthesized and applied in various device applications. In this review, the preparation methods of organic‐inorganic lead halide 2D perovskite single crystals, the growth principles, their photoelectric properties and several device applications are discussed.image
