“…In this context,, the possibility of produc-ing ultrathin OIPC sheets via mechanical exfoliation was recently reported. 27 Here, we demonstrate the formation of ultrathin crystalline layers of (C 4 H 9 NH 3 ) 2 PbI 4 OIPCs by mechanical exfoliation. These exfoliated nanosheets (NS) are produced by the same mechanical exfoliation technique as has been successfully applied to other van-der-Waals materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene.…”

We demonstrate the formation of large sheets of layered organic-inorganic perovskite (OIPC) crystals, as thin as a single unit cell, prepared by mechanical exfoliation. The resulting 2D OIPC nano sheets of 2.4 nm thickness are direct semiconductors with an optical band gap of 2.4 eV. They exhibit unusually strong light-matter interaction with an optical absorption as high as 25% at the main excitonic resonance, as well as bright photoluminescence. We extract an exciton binding energy of 490 meV from measurement of the series of excited exciton states. The properties of the excitons are shown to be strongly influenced by the changes in the dielectric surroundings. The environmental sensitivity of these ultrathin OIPC sheets is further reflected in the strong suppression of a thermally driven phase transition present in the bulk crystals.

“…Several approaches, including mechanical exfoliation [87,88], chemical vapor deposition [89], solutionprocessing [8,90,91], and colloidal methods [92] have been developed to prepare 2D perovskites. As compared to mechanical exfoliation and chemical vapor deposition techniques, solution-processing approach was more effective to achieve high-quality crystals [93].…”

Organic-inorganic metal halide hybrids have emerged as new generation functional materials with exceptional structure and property tunability for a variety of applications. Besides the most investigated ABX 3 metal halide perovskites, a variety of hybrids consisting of a wide range of organic cations and metal halide anions have been developed and studied recently. Here, we provide an overview of these new materials possessing various crystallographic structures, including double perovskites, low dimensional hybrids, and other perovskite-related materials. We discuss their syntheses, functional properties, and optoelectronic applications. Challenges and opportunities are then laid out for these hybrid materials beyond perovskites. IMPACT STATEMENTBy choosing appropriate organic cations and metal halide anions, single crystalline ionically bonded hybrid materials can be assembled to possess various structures beyond the well-known ABX 3 perovskite. These hybrid materials exhibit exciting new properties with potential applications in a variety of areas. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…To investigate the occurrence of two-dimensionally conned properties, ultra-thin CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 perovskite single-crystal akes have been prepared through mechanical exfoliation, 18 chemical vapour deposition (CVD) 19,20 and solution selfassembly. 21 The high crystal quality and symmetrical geometries of CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 perovskites result in high quality factors (Q), which can result in random lasing in whispering gallery mode.…”

Following intense research on two-dimensional (2D) materials, there has been a resurgence of interest in 2D layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. These 2D perovskites have direct band gaps regardless of their thickness. Excitons are confined to monolayers because of the materials' selforganized quantum-well electronic structure. Gaining insight into the exciton dynamics is central to understanding the light-matter interactions in 2D organic-inorganic perovskites. Herein, we investigate the free-exciton dynamics in 2D layered CH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 NH 3 PbI 4 perovskite, demonstrating an anomalous temperature variation of the photoluminescence (PL) energy, which deviates from the conventional Varshni formula and is consistent with the behaviour of Bose-Einstein oscillators. The acoustic phonons induced by the coherent lattice motion of the atoms result in a positive temperature variation. Two-pulse emission modulation measurements reveal the excitation mechanism of the strong two-photon PL in CH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 NH 3 PbI 4 perovskite, in which two photons are simultaneously absorbed through a virtual state.
