2D perovskites have emerged as more stable analogues for photovoltaic applications as their 3D counterparts. However, in contrast to the free charge carriers in 3D perovskites, the confined space of the layered 2D perovskites leads to the formation of excitonic excited states. To harvest the energy of the excitonic excited state in a solar cell, transport of the excitons to charge-separating interfaces is required. Understanding the transport of excitons in 2D perovskites is therefore a crucial step for the development of perovskite photovoltaics containing 2D phases which benefit from both improved stability and maximized efficiency. 

In this talk I will present our recent efforts to visualize exciton diffusion dynamics in a variety of 2D perovskite materials using Transient Photoluminescence Microscopy (TPLM). [1-4] TPLM combines diffraction limited excitation with time and spatially resolved detection of excitonic emission to reconstruct a movie-like representation of exciton transport with sub-nanosecond and few-nanometer resolution. Using this technique, a number of important structure-property relationships for exciton transport in 2D perovskites have been revealed, including the importance of lattice rigidity [1], the influence of trap states [3] and halide mixing [4], as well as the influence of doping strategies. I will highlight the importance of our use of Brownian dynamics simulations to explain the various anomalous transport regimes that can be encountered in these materials.
