RESUMEN
Hybrid metal halides (HMHs) based phase transition materials have received widespread attention due to their excellent performance and potential applications in energy harvesting, optoelectronics, ferroics, and actuators. Nevertheless, effectively regulating the properties of phase transitions is still a thorny problem. In this work, two chiral lead-free HMHs (R-3FP)2 SbCl5 (1; 3FP=3-fluoropyrrolidinium) and (R-3FP)2 SbBr5 (2) were synthesized. By replacing the halide ions in the inorganic skeleton, the phase transition temperature of 2 changes with an increase of about 20â K, compared with 1. Meanwhile, both compounds display reversible dielectric switching properties. Through crystal structure analysis and Hirshfeld surface analysis, their phase transitions are ascribed to the disorder of the cations and deformation of the inorganic chains.
RESUMEN
A two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) material with out-of-plane ferroelectricity is the key to the miniaturization of vertical-sandwich-type ferroelectric optoelectronic devices. However, 2D OIHP ferroelectrics with out-of-plane polarization are still scarce, and effective design strategies are lacking. Herein, we report a novel 2D Dion-Jacobson perovskite ferroelectric semiconductor synthesized by a rigid-to-flexible cationic tailoring strategy, achieving an out-of-plane polarization of 1.7 µC/cm2 and high photoresponse. Integrating out-of-plane ferroelectricity with excellent photoelectric properties affords a promising platform to investigate ferroelectricity-related effects in vertical optoelectronic devices.
RESUMEN
Tuning phase transition temperature is one of the central issues in phase transition materials. Herein, we report a case study of using enantiomer fraction engineering as a promising strategy to tune the Curie temperature (TC) and related properties of ferroelectrics. A series of metal-halide perovskite ferroelectrics (S-3AMP)x(R-3AMP)1-xPbBr4 was synthesized where 3AMP is the 3-(aminomethyl)piperidine divalent cation and enantiomer fraction x varies between 0 and 1 (0 and 1 = enantiomers; 0.5 = racemate). With the change of the enantiomer fraction, the TC, second-harmonic generation intensity, degree of circular polarization of photoluminescence, and photoluminescence intensity of the materials have been tuned. Particularly, when x = 0.70 - 1, a continuously linear tuning of the TC is achieved, showing a tunable temperature range of about 73 K. This strategy provides an effective means and insights for regulating the phase transition temperature and chiroptical properties of functional materials.
