Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) perovskite hybrid systems, known for their exceptional optoelectronic properties and stability, are revolutionizing optoelectronic materials research. However, fundamental physics of the 3D/2D interfaces and their dynamics remain poorly understood. We use fluorescence microspectroscopy to study the photoluminescence (PL) properties of 3D/2D nano-heterostructures of CsPbBr3/PEA2PbBr4 formed by postgrowth self-assembly. The in situ PL spectra uncover the presence of new structural phases, quasi-2D PEA2Csn–1PbnBr3n+1 layers of varying n, at the 3D/2D interface and demonstrate their reversible restructuring under light excitation at room temperature. The restructuring is a result of layer-by-layer cation diffusion at the epitaxial interfaces, manifested as reversible spectral shifts occurring on a time scale of seconds. Such dynamics ultimately leads to optimized distribution of the quasi-2D phases in the system for efficient energy transfer from the 2D to the 3D phases. Our findings provide new insights into controlling energy flow in 3D/2D perovskites for next-generation optoelectronic devices.
三维(3D)和二维(2D)包晶石杂化系统以其卓越的光电特性和稳定性而著称,正在为光电材料研究带来革命性的变化。然而,人们对三维/二维界面的基本物理学及其动力学仍然知之甚少。我们利用荧光微光谱技术研究了由生长后自组装形成的铯铋硼3/PEA2PbBr4三维/二维纳米异质结构的光致发光(PL)特性。原位聚光光谱揭示了在三维/二维界面上存在新的结构相,即不同 n 的准二维 PEA2Csn-1PbnBr3n+1 层,并证明了它们在室温光激发下的可逆重组。这种重组是阳离子在外延界面逐层扩散的结果,表现为以秒为单位的可逆光谱移动。这种动态变化最终导致系统中准二维相的优化分布,从而实现从二维相到三维相的高效能量转移。我们的发现为控制三维/二维包晶中的能量流以实现下一代光电器件提供了新的见解。
