Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have recently gained tremendous interest because of their unique features in contrast to three-dimensional counterparts and traditional 2D materials. However, although some 2D HOIP ferroelectrics have been achieved, the issue of toxic Pb and uniaxial nature impede their further application. Herein, for the first time, we report a lead-free 2D HOIP multiaxial ferroelectric, [3,3-difluorocyclobutylammonium]CuCl (), which shows four ferroelectric axes and eight equivalent polarization directions, more than those of the other 2D HOIP ferroelectrics and even the inorganic perovskite ferroelectric BaTiO (three ferroelectric axes and six equivalent polarization directions). also features a high Curie temperature of 380 K and exhibits remarkable thermochromism of color change from green-yellow to dark brown. To our knowledge, is the first multiaxial lead-free 2D HOIP ferroelectric. This work sheds light on the exploration of better lead-free 2D HOIP ferroelectrics.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) ferroelectrics exhibit polarization reversibility and have a wide range of applications in the fields of smart switches, memorizers, sensors, However, the inherent limitations of small spontaneous polarization ( ) and large coercive field ( ) in ferroelectrics have impeded their broader utilization in electronics and data storage. Molecular ferroelectrics, as a powerful supplement to inorganic ferroelectrics, have shown great potential in the new generation of flexible wearable electronic devices. The important research responsibility is to greatly improve progressiveness and overcome the above limitations.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) ferroelectric materials have great potential for developing self-powered electronic transducers owing to their impressive piezoelectric performance, structural tunability and low processing temperatures. Nevertheless, their inherent brittle and low elastic moduli limit their application in electromechanical conversion. Integration of HOIP ferroelectrics and soft polymers is a promising solution.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) have received tremendous scientific attention because of the phase transition and photovoltaic properties. However, achieving the special perovskite structure with both two-step dielectric response and luminescence characteristics is rarely reported. Herein, we report an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite, [(BA) ⋅ PbI ] (Compound 1, BA=n-butylamine) by introducing flexible organic cations (HBA ), with direct mid-band gap as 2.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) ferroelectrics are attracting considerable interest because of their high performance, ease of synthesis, and lightweight. However, the intrinsic thermodynamic origins of their ferroelectric transitions remain insufficiently understood. Here, we identify the nature of the ferroelectric phase transitions in displacive [(CH)NH][Mn(N)] and order-disorder type [(CH)NH][Mn(HCOO)] via spatially resolved structural analysis and lattice dynamics calculations.
