Broad Orange Emission from Piperazine-Based Layered Halide Perovskites
The excellent optoelectronic properties of layered halide perovskites make them ideal for devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. In this study, we report five two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites: (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>14</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbBr<sub>4</sub>, (C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>18</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbBr<sub>4</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O, (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>14</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbI<sub>4</sub>, 1-(C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>18</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbI<sub>4</sub>, and 2-(C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>18</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbI<sub>4</sub>, (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>14</sub>N<sub>2</sub> = <i>N</i>-Ethylpiperazine, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>18</sub>N<sub>2</sub> = 1-Butylpiperazine). The optical band gaps of these compounds range from 2.63 to 3.35 eV. (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>14</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbBr<sub>4</sub> exhibits broad orange emission with a peak at 624 nm, a full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 246.8 nm, and a Stokes shift of 237 nm. In contrast, (C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>18</sub>N<sub>2</sub>)PbBr<sub>4</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O shows a peak at 640 nm, fwhm of 262.8 nm, and a larger Stokes shift of 286 nm, attributed to exciton self-trapping induced by strong electron-phonon coupling and structural distortions. This significant Stokes shift is a notable feature of 2D materials. Our findings expand the database of layered halide perovskites, providing valuable insights for the development of next-generation optoelectronic technologies.
