ruthenium molecular dye, wide absorption range, direct and tunable bandgaps, superior charge carrier mobility, and long carrier diffusion length. [6,[43][44][45] Although it has been synthesized for over 100 years, Mitzi et al. were the first to investigate the electrical properties of tin-based perovskite in 1994, [46] which was later used in numerous devices, including field effect transistors (FETs) and LEDs. [47][48][49] The attention toward metal halide perovskites sparked yet again in 2009, [42] and they were later named one of the most promising emerging technologies in 2016. In brief, metal halide perovskites can be divided into two types based on their crystal structure motif: (i) 3D-structured perovskite (AMX 3 ) and (ii) 2D-structured perovskite (A 2 MX 4 ). The structure of the perovskite could either be 2D or 3D, while the dimensions of the perovskite probably belong to 0D-3D. The term "perovskite" implies to the general class of materials derived from an elemental composition of AMX 3 and demonstrates the crystal structure of perovskite crystal CaTiO 3 , where the divalent metal M resides at the body center and surrounded by six X-anions located at the face centers in an octahedral cluster. The MX 6 in the octahedral cluster may form an extended 3D structure by all-corner-connected type with A-cation sitting at the center. It could also form a 2D perovskite when the 3D perovskite network is cut into one-layer-thick slices along the 〈100〉 direction and separates them apart. In principle, 2D perovskite is the easiest to synthesize because of its natural layered structure, which is held together by weak van der Waals forces. Dou et al. reported the large-scale synthesis of the monolayer (C 4 H 9 NH 3 ) 2 -PbBr 4 by a chemical method. [50] Along the same lines, several groups have prepared and characterized nanomaterials composed of various forms of perovskites. [51][52][53] Also, our group has recently successfully prepared a low-dimensional mixed 2D/3D perovskite using the protonated salt of amino valeric acid iodide (AVAI) as an organic precursor mixed with PbI 2 , in which a yellowish film was containing needle-like crystallite formed. [54] In this topical review, we present the latest advances in the synthesis of low-dimensional perovskites and the growth mechanism to develop a strategy to achieve best performing devices. Later, we focus the instability and a cost-effective solution to circumvent this problem, which is vital for the eventual deployment of perovskite solar cells to consumers market. We present an analysis of the origins for instability in perovskite solar cells, and present a summary of the main achievements and possible future developments of these low-dimensional perovskite. [2,55] Perovskite solar cells have been heralded as one of the most promising emerging technologies in 2016 because of the very high power conversion efficiency of 22% and the low cost of generating electricity compared to even fossil fuels. These are formed with various dimensionalities and can be fully mani...

“…Rand and co-workers found that, with the percentage of loadings of butylammonium (BA) no more than 20 mol% as compared to the molar amount of the 3D perovskites, the bulky BA cations only play the role of surface ligands that confines the growth rather than participate in the crystallization of the PNC grains. [55,88] Similarly, 3D PNCs of MAPbI 3 and MAPbBr 3 with 5.4 and 6.4 nm in size were also realized at an incorporation molar ratio of 20% with fluorophenylmethylammonium (FPMA) and PEA, respectively (Figure 5b). [89] At higher incorporation amount, however, multilayered RP phases begin to appear with the large OA cations intercalate into the crystal For the excess MABr case, a type I structure was formed with larger bandgap MABr (4.0 eV) and a smaller one for MAPbBr 3 (≈2.2 eV).…”

“…In most cases, quasi 2D "Ruddlesden-Popper (RP)" phase PNCs were reported, [56,[63][64][65][66] which can be treated as a mixture of multilayered PNCs while nanosized 3D PNCs were reported elsewhere. [55] Here, the selection and incorporation concentration of bulky organic cations, the controlling of spin-coating process as well as the antisolvent play an important role in the formation mechanism.…”

“…As mentioned above, the quasi 2D PNC structure can be denoted as L 2 A n−1 B n X 3n+1 . Plenty of investigations have been conducted on the choices of bulky cation L, including PEA, [56,63,64,[89][90][91][92] BA, [55,88,[93][94][95] ethylammonium (EA), [96] phenylmethylamine (PMA), [97] phenylbutylammonium (PBA), [98,99] naphthylmethylamine (NMA) [65,100] and 2-Phenoxyethylamine (POEA). [101] Similar to the pure 2D structure, with the space dimension reduced to nanosized 3D or quasi 2D, the PNCs exhibit strong excitonic behavior.…”

“…Early demonstrations of perovskite LED (PeLED) using polycrystalline films suffer from low external quantum efficiency (EQE) due to nonideal PLQY of the bulk halide perovskites, while PNCs present potential alternatives toward efficient and bright light-emitting devices.

in bulk halide perovskites, long carrier diffusion length, and an absorption range covering the visible solar spectrum, collectively enable the high performance of photo electricity conversion. Compared to the bulk materials, perovskite nanocrystals or quantum dots (usually denoted as PNCs or PQDs) show obvious excitonic features with enhanced photoluminescence (PL) properties due to the well-known size-dependent quantum confinement effects. [14][15][16][17] The combination of color saturated emissions, super high quantum yield (QY), as well as easy processing inspired the intensive exploration of PNCs as light emitters, which is now under spotlights in the field of optical materials.The first perspective aim of PNCs is to alternate the state-of-the-art CdSe or InP quantum dots (QDs) as new generation luminescence materials. [18,19] As shown in Figure 1, these QD materials have been well demonstrated to be potential functional components for photonic and optoelectronic applications, and are currently on the way to industrialization. [20][21][22][23] Specifically, QDs can be employed as fluorescence labels, [24] laser gain media, [25] LED phosphors, [26] and down-shifting films for LCD backlights. [27,28] They can also be processed into thin film for optoelectronic devices including solar cells, [29] photodetectors, [30,31] transistors [32] and LEDs. [33] The PNCs outcompete these conventional QDs in terms of narrower full width at half maximum (FWHM) and low fabrication cost, but most importantly, the ease of in situ preparation. [34,35] Herein, this progress report highlight the developments of in situ fabricated PNCs.Colloidal semiconductor QDs are typically synthesized ex situ in flasks by hot injection method, stabilized by surface ligands. [36][37][38][39] To incorporate such solution based materials into applications usually requires purification, redispersion and surface engineering. For instance, ligand exchange is often employed to disperse QDs into aimed solvent, inducing defects that inevitably derogating the PLQYs. [40] Moreover, the organic ligands themselves also suffer from the risk of disabsorbing, reducing the stability of the QDs and thus the final devices. [41] Because halide perovskite are ionic compounds that can be well dissolved into polar solvents, PNCs can be fabricated through either ex situ routes in flask or in situ strategies on substrates. The in situ fabricated PNCs are adaptable to devices integration due to their scalable and low-cost manufacturing. In this regard, more and more efforts have been made in terms of the controlling synthesis, physical properties and device applications of PNC materials.After over 30 years of development, colloidal quantum dots have now become mature luminescent materials in photonic and optoelectronic operations and start to hit the market. The emerging perovskite nanocrystals are expected to promote large-scale commercialization due to their superior optical properties as well as low cost and easy fabrication. This progress report is focused on the...
