Abstract:
Two-dimensional organic-inorganic perovskites have attracted considerable interest recently. Here, we present a systematic study of the temperature-dependent photoluminescence on phase pure (n-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-5) and (iso-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-3) microplates obtained by mechanical exfoliation. The photoluminescence peak position gradually changes from a red-shift for n = 1 to a blue-shift for n = 5 with an increase in temperature in the (n-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-5) series, while only a monotonous blue-shift has been observed for the (iso-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-3) series, which can be attributed to the competition between the thermal expansion interaction and electron-phonon interaction. In the (n-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-5) series, the thermal expansion interaction and electron-phonon interaction are both gradually enhanced and the former progressively dominates the latter from n = 1 to n = 5, resulting in the band gap versus temperature changing from a red-shift to a blue-shift. In contrast, both of these factors show a weaker layer thickness dependence, leading to the monotonous blue-shift in the (iso-BA)2(MA) n-1Pb nI3 n+1 ( n = 1-3) series.

02:55Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
