  • Photoluminescence spectroscopy to analyze exciton properties.
  • Thickness-dependent bandgap energy measurements.

Main Results:

  • Few-layer PbI2 flakes and nanoparticles demonstrate unique exciton properties.
  • Bandgap energy evolution with layer thickness was observed in PbI2 flakes (≥3 layers).
  • PbI2 nanoparticles exhibit an ultranarrow photoluminescence line width (~1 meV) due to lateral quantum confinement.

Conclusions:

  • Chemically synthesized PbI2 offers a potent 2D platform complementary to transition-metal dichalcogenides.
  • The findings highlight the potential of PbI2 for novel fundamental physics and device applications.
  • Lateral quantum confinement significantly influences the energy-level structures in 2D semiconductors.
