Enhancing Circular Dichroism in Chiral Perovskites via Dual Spacer Cation Engineering for Circularly Polarized Light Detection

Abstract Chiral hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have garnered considerable research interest in the field of optoelectronics, owing to their ability to integrate outstanding optoelectronic characteristics with distinct chiral or spin‐related properties. Although recent years have witnessed the rapid development of chiral perovskites, methods for producing perovskites with high absorption dissymmetry factors (gCD) enabling polarization‐resolved chiroptical applications are still lacking. This study introduces a strategic combination of dual spacer cations, i.e., achiral hexane‐1,6‐diammonium (HDA) and chiral 1‐(chlorophenyl)ethylammonium (ClPEA), for boosting the chiroptical performance of 2D lead iodide HOIPs. Interestingly, ortho‐ClPEA, incapable of forming 2D HOIPs independently, successfully creates 2D structures in collaboration with HDA, exhibiting CD signals aligned wi…
