Description
Summary:Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phase hybrid perovskites (HPs) have achieved impressive performance and high stability in optoelectronics devices. Despite that, research on the relationship between the structure and photoelectric properties of DJ HPs is still rare; particularly, the effect of diammonium cations with different conformations between the interlayers on the structure-activity relationship has not been reported. Herein, three kinds of DJ HP bulk crystals, BDAPbBr 4 ( 1 ), 2AMPPbBr 4 ( 2 ) and 2AMPYPbBr 4 ( 3 ), have been constructed by interlayer cation engineering with the linear diammonium 1,4-butanediammonium (BDA), cyclic aliphatic diammonium 2-(aminomethyl)piperidinium (2AMP) and aromatic diammonium 2-(aminomethyl)pyridinium (2AMPY), respectively. These DJ HPs based on diammonium cations with different conformations exhibit diverse structures and optical and electronic properties. After an in-depth analysis, the photoelectric properties of these DJ HPs have been found to be significantly affected by the interlayer spacing, the insertion depth of the diammonium cations into the inorganic skeleton and the distortion degree of the inorganic layer. Finally, compound 3 constructed using the aromatic diammonium has been found to possess the shortest interlayer spacing (3.404 Å), the deepest insertion (1.147 Å) and the smallest distortion (173.7°), which afford it better photodetection performance (3.2 × 10 11 Jones) than 1 (3.8 × 10 10 Jones) and 2 (1.8 × 10 11 Jones) under 405 nm irradiation. More importantly, it is precisely because of the rigidity and aromaticity of the 2AMPY cations that compound 3 has the best optical and photoelectric performance. These findings provide a foundation for designing optoelectronic devices with distinguished performance in the future. The photodetection ability of Dion-Jacobson hybrid perovskites is regulated by interlayer cation engineering.
