Abstract:
The eco-friendly properties enable two-dimensional (2D) Cu-based perovskites as ideal candidates for next-generation optoelectronics, but practical application is limited by low photoelectric conversion efficiency because of poor carrier transport abilities. Here, we report enhanced structural stability of 2D CuBr4 perovskites under compression up to 30 GPa, without obvious volume collapse or structural amorphization, by inserting organic C6 H5 CH2 NH3 (PMA) groups between layers. The band gap value of (PMA)2 CuBr4 can be effectively tuned from 1.8 to 1.47 eV by employing external pressures, leading to a broadened absorption range of 400-800 nm. Notably, we successfully detected photoconductivity of the photoresponse at pressures from 10 to 40 GPa; the maximum value of 5×10-3 S cm-1 is observed at 28 GPa, indicating potential applications for high performance photovoltaic candidates under extreme conditions.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
