Deterministic integration of phase-pure Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites has great significance for realizing functional optoelectronic devices. However, precise fabrications of artificial perovskite heterostructures with pristine interfaces and rational design over electronic structure configurations remain a challenge. Here, the controllable synthesis of large-area ultrathin single-crystalline RP perovskite nanosheets and the deterministic fabrication of arbitrary 2D vertical perovskite heterostructures are reported. The 2D heterostructures exhibit intriguing dual-peak emission phenomenon and dual-band photoresponse characteristic. Importantly, the interlayer energy transfer behaviors from wide-bandgap component to narrow-bandgap component modulated by comprising quantum wells are thoroughly revealed. Functional nanoscale photodetectors are further constructed based on the 2D heterostructures. Moreover, by combining the modulated dual-band photoresponse characteristic with double-beam irradiation modes, and introducing an encryption algorithm mechanism, a light communication system with high security and reliability is achieved. This work can greatly promote the development of heterogeneous integration technologies of 2D perovskites, and could provide a competitive candidate for advanced integrated optoelectronics.

Integration of resistive switching and rectification functions in a single memory device is promising for high writing/readout accuracy with a simplified device architecture, but the realization remains challenging, especially with a low voltage operation. Herein, we developed self-rectifying resistive memory with a single memristive layer that can be operated at ultralow voltages with an excellent rectification ratio. The memristive layer consisted of a phase-separated lateral heterostructure of a ferroelectric polymer, poly(vinylidene fluoride--trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)], and a 2D halide perovskite, butylammonium lead iodide (BAPbI), which could be readily fabricated by spin-casting.

Capitalizing on the nonvolatile, nanoscale controllable polarization, ferroelectric perovskite oxides can be integrated with various functional materials for designing emergent phenomena enabled by charge, lattice, and polar symmetry mediated interfacial coupling, as well as for constructing novel energy-efficient electronics and nanophotonics with programmable functionalities. When prepared in thin film or membrane forms, the ferroelectric instability of these materials is highly susceptible to the interfacial electrostatic and mechanical boundary conditions, resulting in tunable polarization fields and Curie temperatures and domain formation. This review focuses on two types of ferroelectric oxide-based heterostructures: the epitaxial perovskite oxide heterostructures and the ferroelectric oxides interfaced with two-dimensional van der Waals materials.

Development of printed electronics requires understanding and control of the interfaces in heterostructure devices. However, investigation of the interfaces between dissimilar materials to achieve control of intermixing presents challenges. Here, we report investigation of interfaces in inkjet printed heterostructures by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis to provide complementary insights into the intermixing phenomena.

Enriching oxygen species in perovskite catalysts provides more active sites for the catalytic oxidation of air pollutants, but its further application in environmental chemical engineering is still constrained by the inherent lack of oxygen species reactivity and the difficulty of replenishing depleted oxygen species. Herein, we present a scalable one-pot strategy for the in situ fabrication of a homogeneously distributed heterostructure, which brings LaCuO perovskite a 58-fold activity enhancement and robust antisintering/water/coke in toluene oxidation, higher than currently reported perovskite catalysts. Superior to the single "oxygen enrichment" effect of conventional surface-aggregated heterostructures, the homogeneously distributed heterostructures induce the reactivity enhancement of adsorbed oxygen and the backfilling/replenishment of depleted lattice oxygen, which break through the rate-determining steps of the low-temperature Langmuir-Hinshelwood and the high-temperature Mars-van Krevelen mechanisms, respectively.

The atomic configuration of phases and their interfaces is fundamental to materials design and engineering. Here, we unveil a transition metal oxide interface, whose formation is driven by energetic influences─epitaxial tensile strain versus oxygen octahedra connectivity─that compete in determining the orientation of an orthorhombic perovskite film. We study this phenomenon in layers of LaVO grown on (101) DyScO, using atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy to measure intrinsic markers of orthorhombic symmetry.
