Rice Researchers Achieve Record Exciton Diffusion in 2D Perovskites (VIDEO)
Caption
A team of researchers has engineered a new class of two-dimensional perovskites with near-perfect crystal symmetry, unlocking record-breaking exciton diffusion beyond 2 micrometers. By eliminating structural distortions at the atomic level, the materials enable charge transport performance on par with leading semiconductors — a major step forward for next-generation optoelectronics, including solar cells and light-emitting devices. Published in Nature Synthesis, this work demonstrates how precise control over crystal structure can dramatically improve energy transport in hybrid materials.
