AI Article Synopsis

  • 2D hybrid perovskites are emerging as key materials for light-harvesting and emitting, but controlling their optical response through electrical doping has been challenging.
  • By creating gate-tunable heterostructures that combine ultrathin perovskite sheets with graphene and boron nitride, researchers can now electrically tune the light absorption and emission of these materials.
  • The study reveals the formation of trions—charged excitons—with strong binding energies and high mobilities, suggesting new possibilities for developing electrically controlled light-emitting devices and exciton-based technologies in layered semiconductors.

Article Abstract

2D hybrid perovskites are currently in the spotlight of material research for light-harvesting and -emitting applications. It remains extremely challenging, however, to externally control their optical response due to the difficulties of introducing electrical doping. Here, an approach of interfacing ultrathin sheets of perovskites with few-layer graphene and hexagonal boron nitride into gate-tunable, hybrid heterostructures, is demonstrated. It allows for bipolar, continuous tuning of light emission and absorption in 2D perovskites by electrically injecting carriers to densities as high as 10  cm . This reveals the emergence of both negatively and positively charged excitons, or trions, with binding energies up to 46 meV, among the highest measured for 2D systems. Trions are shown to dominate light emission and propagate with mobilities reaching 200 cm V s at elevated temperatures. The findings introduce the physics of interacting mixtures of optical and electrical excitations to the broad family of 2D inorganic-organic nanostructures. The presented strategy to electrically control the optical response of 2D perovskites highlights it as a promising material platform toward electrically modulated light-emitters, externally guided charged exciton currents, and exciton transistors based on layered, hybrid semiconductors.
