The formation of a thin 2D perovskite layer on the surface of 3D perovskite films has become a popular strategy for obtaining a high-efficiency perovskite solar cell (PSC) with an ensured device stability. In this review paper, various experimental methods used for growth of the 2D layer are introduced with the resulting film properties. Furthermore, a variety of organic cation sources for the 2D layer, ranging from alkyl to phenyl ammonium, are explored to investigate their impact on the device stability and photovoltaic performance.

4-N,N-Dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium Tosylate (DAST) organic single crystals controlled by (Z)-Octadec-9-enoic acid (oleic acid, OA) was grown by a slow-cooling method. The as-grown DAST single crystals were systematically characterized by FTIR, X-ray diffraction, second harmonic generation, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Results indicate that addition of OA into the DAST solutions leads to the controlled growth of DAST single crystals and consequently, the crystal quality and optical properties can be modified. Particularly, the DAST crystals grown under the control of OA exhibit larger sizes, higher crystallinities, and better optical qualities with higher optical band gaps and lower defect density, compared with those grown in the absence of OA. These results are helpful for better understanding the controlled growth of DAST organic single crystals and modifying their properties for practical applications.

Organic Framework

The controllable growth of non-centrosymmetric metal organic framework (MOF) beyond the conventional micrometer crystal dimensions would represent an enabling step in the development of MOF-based devices for coherent nonlinear optics. This goal has been elusive so far, as MOF crystal typical self-assemble under metastable synthesis conditions that have several competing crystallization pathways open, and only a modest amount of external control over the crystal nucleation and growth rates is currently possible. We overcome some of these issues and achieve the controlled growth of large single crystals of the non-centrosymmetric MOF Zn(3-ptz)<sub>2</sub>, with surface areas of up to 25 mm<sup>2</sup> in 24 hours, in a single solvothermal reaction with <i>in-situ</i> ligand formation. No additional growth steps are necessary. We carry out a mechanistic study to unravel the reaction steps leading to the self-assembly of Zn(3-ptz)<sub>2</sub> crystals, by identifying and isolating several intermediate crystal structures that directly connect with the target MOF, and reversibly interconverting between them. We identify the synthesis parameters that control the size and morphology of our target MOF crystal and model its nucleation and growth kinetics using <i>ex-situ</i> image processing data. Our work is a step forward is understanding and controlling the factors that stabilize the growth of high-quality MOF crystals with sizes that are relevant for coherent optics, thus untapping possible applications of metal-organic frameworks in classical and quantum communication technology.
