During the last decades, great attention has been devoted to organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHP) due to their special structures and important optical and optoelectronic properties. Since 2009, OIHP represented an exciting new class of low-cost solar absorber materials which have revolutionized the photovoltaic landscape by the exceptional growth of their power conversion efficiency from 3.8 % to more than 22 %1,2 in less than ten years. Moreover, their 2D counterparts exhibit strong photoluminescence, even at room temperature, making them promising candidates for the design of organic-inorganic light emitting diodes (OILED).3 Recently, we have observed a strong white-light emission, even at room temperature, in the 2D lead bromide based-OIHP, under UV irradiation.4 The maximum photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) of this very broad (~ 660 meV) emission was observed around 100K. Later on, we succeeded to partially control the chromaticity of the emission with the choice of halogen and metal.5 The same phenomenon was observed just before by Dohner et al. in some 2D (100)-oriented OIHP and a stable PLQE of 9 % has been measured, even after three months of continuous irradiation.6,7 Our optical and structural investigations suggested that this white-light emission results from self-trapped carriers in a deformable lattice due to the presence a strong electron−phonon coupling. Since these pioneering works, several research groups started exploring deeply this new phenomenon,7-11 which further confirms the great interest of these low-cost single-component white-light emitters in solid state lighting applications.
