Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite is a re-emerging material with strongly excitonic absorption and emission properties that are attractive for photonics and optoelectronics. Here we report the experimental observation of excitonic energy transfer (ET) in van der Waals heterostructures consisting of quasi-2D hybrid perovskite (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>PbI<sub>4</sub> (PEPI) and monolayer WS<sub>2</sub>. Photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy reveals a distinct ground exciton resonance feature of perovskite, evidencing ET from perovskite to WS<sub>2</sub>. We find unexpectedly high photoluminescence enhancement factors of up to ∼8, which cannot be explained by single-interface ET. Our analysis reveals that interlayer ET across the bulk of the layered perovskite also contributes to the large enhancement factor. Further, from the weak temperature dependence of the lower-limit ET rate, which we found to be ∼3 ns<sup>-1</sup>, we conclude that the Förster-type mechanism is responsible.
