Abstract
So-called “perovskite-inspired” materials share structural motifs with perovskites but often lack their defining crystallographic attributes. This leads to a variety of different properties, and classifying them under the same label creates possibilities for misinterpretation. A key example is broadband luminescence, which is frequently attributed to the recombination of self-trapped excitons (STEs). In addition to a crucial distinction between defect-mediated luminescence and STEs, which has long been neglected, there is a lack of attention to how exciton localization varies across these materials. Differentiation between Wannier–Mott and Frenkel excitons is often lacking. By refining the language used to describe these excitons in “perovskite-inspired” materials, we can better capture the fundamental differences governing light emission in these exciting compounds.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
