Resistive switching random-access memory (ReRAM) devices based on organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) have emerged as a new class of data storage devices. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) OIHPs have attracted much attention for ReRAM applications because of their structural diversity and superior stability. Here, the RS characteristics of ReRAM devices fabricated utilizing pure 2D Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite crystals, namely (TEA)PbBr and (TEA)PbI, are reported.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and perovskites hold substantial promise for various optoelectronic applications such as light emission, photodetection, and energy harvesting. However, each of these materials possesses certain limitations that can be overcome by synergistically combining them to form heterostructures, thereby unveiling intriguing optical properties. In this study, we present an uncomplicated technique for crafting a van der Waals (vdW) heterojunction comprising monolayer WS and a Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite, namely (TEA)PbI.

We investigate the hot carrier and exciton dynamics in two-dimensional (2D) metal halide perovskites using time-resolved spectroscopy. 2D perovskite films were prepared with and without dimethyl sulfoxide treatment to elucidate the effect of film processing techniques on optoelectronic properties. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements reveal that the charge carrier dynamics are different in the two samples, and excitons survive for a longer time in the treated sample than the untreated one.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with superior performance have been recognized as a potential candidate in photovoltaic technologies. However, defects in the active perovskite layer induce nonradiative recombination which restricts the performance and stability of PSCs. The construction of a thiophene-based 2D structure is one of the significant approaches for surface passivation of hybrid PSCs that may combine the benefits of the stability of 2D perovskite with the high performance of three-dimensional (3D) perovskite.
