Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework Enables Phase-Pure Layered Tin Perovskite Nanowires for Room-Temperature Lasing
Room-temperature lasing is a key milestone in the development of miniaturized optoelectronic and photonic devices. We present a simple approach to synthesize phase-pure quasi-2D layered tin perovskite nanowires with varying quantum well thicknesses (<i>n</i> = 1 to 4). By incorporating a new organic spacer capable of forming a hydrogen-bonded organic framework, this method promoted anisotropic crystal growth and enhanced lattice rigidity. Furthermore, introducing molecular intercalants enabled controlled crystallization into well-defined nanowires that function as Fabry-Pérot cavities. Cavities made from <i>n</i> = 2 to 4 perovskites support efficient and robust near-infrared, room-temperature optically pumped lasing with the threshold as low as 75.8 μJ/cm<sup>2</sup>, cavity quality factor over 3000, and negligible degradation over 10<sup>6</sup> pulses. A cleaved coupled nanolaser was fabricated as a proof-of-concept device for photonic applications.
