Abstract

Chiral perovskite materials have been intensively studied because of their unique properties and wide range of potential applications; however, the synthesis of perovskite nanocrystals with improved chirality has been scarcely investigated. In this Letter, two-dimensional perovskite nanosheets with intrinsic chirality are demonstrated. Inserting chiral amines into the perovskite framework leads to the chirality transfer from amine molecules to perovskite structure. The protecting agent, specifically, achiral octylamine, is found to influence the chiral optical signal or dissymmetric factor of nanosheets significantly. By controlling the amount of octylamine, we have synthesized perovskite nanosheets with the highest g-factor ever reported. We expect our primary demonstration could attract more attention toward the synthesis of intrinsic chiral perovskite nanocrystals and the development of nanocrystal-based chiral-optical devices with improved functions.
