Quantum confinement effect of two-dimensional all-inorganic halide perovskites

Ultralow thermal conductivity in all-inorganic halide perovskites.

Controlling the flow of thermal energy is crucial to numerous applications ranging from microelectronic devices to energy storage and energy conversion devices. Here, we report ultralow lattice thermal conductivities of solution-synthesized, single-crystalline all-inorganic halide perovskite nanowires composed of CsPbI3 (0.45 ± 0.05 W·m-1·K-1), CsPbBr3 (0.42 ± 0.04 W·m-1·K-1), and CsSnI3 (0.38 ...

Singe-crystal microplates of two-dimensional organic-inorganic lead halide layered perovskites for optoelectronics

Ruddlesden-Popper Phase in Two-Dimensional Inorganic Halide Perovskites: A Plausible Model and the Supporting Observations.

A Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) type structure is well-known in oxide perovskites and is related to many interesting properties such as superconductivity and ferroelectricity. However, the RP phase has not yet been discovered in inorganic halide perovskites. Here, we report the direct observation of unusual structure in two-dimensional CsPbBr3 nanosheets which could be interpreted as the RP phase base...

Two-Dimensional Halide Perovskites: Tuning Electronic Activities of Defects.

Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites are emerging as promising candidates for nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. To realize their full potential, it is important to understand the role of those defects that can strongly impact material properties. In contrast to other popular 2D semiconductors (e.g., transition metal dichalcogenides MX2) for which defects typically induce harmful traps, we...

Optical Properties of All-inorganic Metal-halide Perovskites and Metal Chalcogenides Colloidal Nano-crystals

Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) are of considerable interest due to their size-dependent optical and electronic properties, which allow their implementation in photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes, photo-detectors and more. Along with the development of the synthesis procedures, numerous investigations have explored the optical and electronic properties of different NCs, involving the study o...
