Abstract

Published studies of layered (2D) (100)-oriented hybrid lead-bromide perovskites evidence a correlation between increased inter-octahedral (Pb-Br-Pb) distortions and the appearance of broadband white light emission. However, the impact of distortions within their constituent [PbBr6]4− octahedra has yet to be assessed. Herein, we report two new (100)-oriented 2D Pb-Br perovskites, whose structures display unusually high intra-octahedral distortions, whilst retaining minimal inter-octahedral distortions. Using a combination of temperature-dependent, power-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopic measurements, we show that increased intra-octahedral distortion induces exciton localization processes and leads to formation of multiple photoinduced emissive colour centres. Ultimately, this leads to highly Stokes-shifted, ultrabroad white light emission at room temperature.
