Stability and electronic properties of two-dimensional metal–organic perovskites in Janus phase

Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid metal–organic perovskites have been widely studied due to their good stability and unique optoelectronic properties. By incorporating different ligands on opposite sides of the inorganic octahedron plane, we construct a novel 2D Janus perovskite (2D-JP) exhibiting structu...
