ABSTRACT
The SO2 adsorption-desorption capacity at room temperature and 1 bar of the metal-organic polyhedron MOP-CDC was investigated. In addition, the qualitative solid-state absorption-emission properties of this material (before and after SO2 exposure) were measured and tested, and it demonstrated remarkable capability for SO2 detection. Our results represent the first example of fluorimetric SO2 detection in a MOP.

Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites have recently emerged as a more stable and more versatile family of materials than three-dimensional (3D) perovskite solar cell absorbers. Although solar cells made with 2D perovskites have yet to improve their power conversion efficiencies to compete with 3D perovskite solar cells, their immense diversity offers great opportunities and avenues for research that will likely close the gap between these two. Further, 2D perovskites can have various roles within a solar cell, either as the primary light absorber, as a capping layer, passivating layer, or within a mixed 2D/3D perovskite solar cell absorber. In this Minireview, we will review the history of 2D perovskites in solar cells, the relevant properties of such materials, the different roles that they can play in a solar cell, as well as current trends and challenges.
