Chiral 2D and quasi-2D hybrid organic inorganic perovskites: from fundamentals to applications

Abstract

Chiral 2D and quasi-2D hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) are emerging as promising materials for a variety of applications principally related to optoelectronics and spintronics, thanks to the combined benefits deriving from both the chiral cation and the perovskite structure. Since its recent birth, this research field is tremendously growing, focalizing on the chemical composition tuning to unveil its influence on the related functional properties as well as on developing devices for practical applications. In this review, we focused on the properties of 2D and quasi-2D chiral HOIPs, firstly providing an overview on their chiroptical behaviour followed by their potential exploitation in devices investigated so far for various applicative fields.
