The presentation will review recent theoretical, spectroscopy and diffraction results on monocrystals or thin-films of halide perovskites, especially 2D multilayered phases. Optoelectronic devices based on 3D halide perovskites and their alloys have demonstrated attractive photovoltaic and electroluminescence performances, but a number of technological issues have to be solved, related to photo-stability or degradation under ambient conditions. 2D multilayered phases recently demonstrated conversion efficiency in the 10-15% range, but also exhibit solar cell excellent photostability under standard illumination as well as humidity resistance. In 2D multilayered phases, intrinsic quantum and dielectric carrier confinements lead to a stable Wannier exciton at room temperature, which has been investigated in details for a few compounds. Efficient solar cell operation is related to internal exciton dissociation through low energy states, as shown from the investigation of both thin films and small exfoliated single crystals. Chemical engineering offers extensive potential developments for these layered compounds, leading recently to a growing number of multilayered halide perovskites.
