Low-Dimensional Organometal Halide Perovskites

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Organometal halide perovskites have recently emerged as a highly promising class of functional materials for a variety of applications. The exceptional structural tunability enables these materials to possess three- (3D), two- (2D), one- (1D), and zero-dimensional (0D) structures at the molecular level. Remarkable progress has been realized in the research of perovskites in recent years, focusing mainly on 3D and 2D structures but leaving low-dimensional 1D and 0D structures significantly underexplored. Here we offer our perspective on the most exciting developments in the low-dimensional organometal halide perovskites. Due to the strong quantum confinement and site isolation, 1D and 0D perovskites exhibit remarkable and useful properties that are significantly different from those of 3D and 2D perovskites. The excitement about the recent developments lies not only in the specific achievements but also in what these materials represent in terms of a new paradigm in materials design.
