The synthesis of perovskite materials with preferred facet orientations is challenging due to randomized nucleation. Here a two-dimensional layered perovskite that initiates controlled lattice growth upon molecular sublimation is synthesized, enabling the formation of large-area films of α-FAPbI3 perovskite with long-range lattice order.
A family of two-dimensional transition metal oxychalcogenides is synthesized from bulk transition metal dichalcogenides by tetrabutylammonium intercalation. The stoichiometry and properties of the two-dimensional transition metal oxychalcogenides can be tuned, enabling high stability and catalytic activity for oxygen evolution in acid.
Symmetry reduction from T to S4 in coordination cages enables selective recognition of higher fullerene isomers, including D2-C76, C2v(2)-C78 and C2v(3)-C78, presenting a promising approach for fullerene identification and enrichment.
