One recent development to improve optoelectronic properties of perovskites is to use a larger cation for multication engineering. The chain-like ethylammonium (EA) [(CH)NH] cation is more likely to form a one-dimensional perovskite structure; however, there is no remarkable evidence in this connection. Therefore, in this work, for the first time, the EA cation as an alternative cation was introduced into FAPbBr cubic crystals to explore the stabilities and optoelectronic properties of mixed FA EAPbBr perovskites. The results indicate that replacing FA with EA is a more effective way to realize band gap tuning and morphology transformation between the cubic shape and microwires. The tuned band gap of perovskite is due to the variation of Pb-Br-Pb angles induced by the insertion of the larger EA cation. We highlight that this work provides new physical insights into the correlation between the engineering of organic cations and the formation of perovskite microwires and the tunable band gap. This observation will help us to find new ways to grow perovskite microwires and subsequently study the optoelectronic performance of low-dimensional perovskites devices.

Perovskite crystals-with their exceptional nonlinear optical properties, lasing and waveguiding capabilities-offer a promising platform for integrated photonic circuitry within the strong-coupling regime at room temperature. Here we demonstrate a versatile template-assisted method to efficiently fabricate large-scale waveguiding perovskite crystals of arbitrarily predefined geometry such as microwires, couplers and splitters. We non-resonantly stimulate a condensate of waveguided exciton-polaritons resulting in bright polariton lasing from the transverse interfaces and corners of our perovskite microstructures.
