Abstract:
A two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) material with out-of-plane ferroelectricity is the key to the miniaturization of vertical-sandwich-type ferroelectric optoelectronic devices. However, 2D OIHP ferroelectrics with out-of-plane polarization are still scarce, and effective design strategies are lacking. Herein, we report a novel 2D Dion-Jacobson perovskite ferroelectric semiconductor synthesized by a rigid-to-flexible cationic tailoring strategy, achieving an out-of-plane polarization of 1.7 μC/cm2 and high photoresponse. Integrating out-of-plane ferroelectricity with excellent photoelectric properties affords a promising platform to investigate ferroelectricity-related effects in vertical optoelectronic devices.
