Assembling different kinds of 2D nanosheets into heterostructures presents a promising way of designing novel artificial materials with new and improved functionalities by combining the unique properties of each component. In the past few years, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) have been recognized as a highly feasible 2D material with outstanding electronic properties, a tunable bandgap, and strong in‐plane anisotropy, highlighting their suitability as a material for constructing heterostructures. In this study, recent progress in the construction of BPNS‐based heterostructures ranging from 2D hybrid structures to 3D networks is discussed, emphasizing the different types of interactions (covalent or noncovalent) between individual layers. The preparation methods, optical and electronic properties, and various applications of these heterostructures—including electronic and optoelectronic devices, energy storage devices, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, and biological applications—are discussed. Finally, critical challenges and prospective research aspects in BPNS‐based heterostructures are also highlighted.
Perovskites
have attracted much attention due to their remarkable
optical properties. While it is well established that excitons dominate
their optical response, the impact of higher excitonic states and
formation of phonon sidebands in optical spectra still need to be
better understood. Here, we perform a theoretical study of excitonic
properties of monolayered hybrid organic perovskitessupported
by temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements. Solving the
Wannier equation, we obtain microscopic access to the Rydberg-like
series of excitonic states including their wave functions and binding
energies. Exploiting the generalized Elliot formula, we calculate
the photoluminescence spectra demonstrating a pronounced contribution
of a phonon sideband for temperatures up to 50 K, in agreement with
experimental measurements. Finally, we predict temperature-dependent
line widths of the three energetically lowest excitonic transitions
and identify the underlying phonon-driven scattering processes.
