Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) hold a great potential for scientific and technological endeavors in the field of ferroelectrics, solar cells, and electroluminescent devices, because of their structural diversity, low cost of manufacture, and ease of fabrication. However, lead iodide perovskite ferroelectrics with narrow band gap have rarely been reported. Here, we present a new two-dimensional (2D) layered lead iodide perovskite ferroelectric, (4,4-DFHHA)(2)PbI4 (4,4-DFHHA = 4,4-difluorohexahydroazepine), with a spontaneous polarization (P-s) of 1.1 mu C/cm(2) at room temperature, a direct bandgap of 2.32 eV, and a high Curie temperature T-c of 454 K (beyond that of BaTiO3, 393 K). On the basis of the nonferroelectrics (HHA)I, (4-FHHA)I, and (4,4-DFHHA)I (HHA = hexahydroazepine, 4-FHHA = 4-fluorohexahydroazepine), we assembled them with PbI2, to form lead iodide perovskites. Because the space between adjacent one-dimensional (1D) chains is relatively large and the confinement effect is not obvious, the cations are still in a disordered state, and 1D OIHPs (HHA)PbI3 and (4-FHHA)PbI3 are also nonferroelectrics at room temperature. In the confined environment of the 2D PbI42- framework for (4,4-DFHHA)(2)PbI4, the 4,4-DFHHA cations become ordered, and their asymmetric distribution leads to the spontaneous polarization. This work offers an efficient strategy for enriching the family of lead iodide perovskite ferroelectrics through the confinement effect and should inspire further exploration of the interplay between ferroelectricity and photovoltaics.
