Recently organic-inorganic perovskite hybrid materials have been developed for solar cell applications reaching record efficiencies of more than 23%. Furthermore, these materials allow to move from a fundamentally 3D structure using small organic molecules to essentially 2D layered structures using larger organic molecules. This opens an avenue towards a quite new class of organic-inorganic nanocomposites in which the inorganic perovskite sheet acts as a template for the self-assembly of organic chromophores confined between the sheets of the inorganic layer. Thus the complexity of the organic interlayer in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites can be increased by introducing additional secondary interactions between different organic components, e.g. pi-interactions. A fluent transition of electro-optical properties can be achieved of the inorganic part from confined 2D structures to strongly delocalized quasi-3D structures. The use of carbazole ammonium salts in 2D hybrid perovskites leads to materials for solar cells with enhanced photoconductivity and stronger resistance toward moisture yielding solar cells with enhanced stability [1]. Also, the use of pyrene ammonium salts to synthesize 2D hybrid perovskites has been explored and initial results on the structure and optoelectronic properties will be discussed [2]. In combination with the introduction of extra secondary interactions in the organic layer, a material is obtained with an exceptionally low bandgap.
