Description
Summary:Layered two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskites are naturally formed multiple quantum well (QW) materials with promising applications in quantum and optoelectronic devices. In principle, the transport of excitons in 2D perovskites is limited by their short lifetime and small mobility to a distance within a few hundred nanometers. Herein, we report an observation of long-distance carrier transport over 2 to 5 μm in 2D perovskites with various well thicknesses. Such a long transport distance is enabled by trap-induced exciton dissociation into long-lived and nonluminescent electron–hole separated state, followed by a trap-mediated charge transport process. This unique property makes 2D perovskites comparable with 3D perovskites and other traditional semiconductor QWs in terms of a carrier transport property and highlights their potential application as an efficient energy/charge-delivery material.
