Revealing the Impact of Phase Transition on <i>n</i> = 1 2D Perovskite Photodetectors With Intrinsically Tunable Narrowband Detection
Jones at an applied bias of 20 V. We reveal the existence of two different phases and the gradual transition based on halide compositions, studied how mixing halide drives phase segregation with density functional theory calculations. Although the chloride additive PEACl suppressed phase segregation in mixed halides, it introduced additional traps that reduced photocurrent. The additive enhanced the out-of-plane orientation, disrupting in-plane transport in photoconductors, but significantly improved performance in photodiodes. This work provides the first device-level insight into halide immiscibility in n = 1 2D-perovskites, revealing that overcoming the performance limitations in these systems requires balancing long-range structural order with short-range electronic disorder.
