The possibility to combine organic semiconducting materials with inorganic halide perovskites opens exciting pathways toward tuning optoelectronic properties. Exploring stable and nontoxic, double perovskites as a host for electroactive organic cations to form two-dimensional (2D) hybrid materials is an emerging opportunity to create both functional and lead-free materials for optoelectronic applications. By introducing naphthalene and pyrene moieties into Ag-Bi-I and Cu-Bi-I double perovskite lattices, intrinsic electronic challenges of double perovskites are addressed and the electronic anisotropy of 2D perovskites can be modulated. (POE)4AgBiI8 containing pyrene moieties in the 2D layers was selected from a total of eight new 2D double perovskites, exhibiting a favorable electronic band structure with a type IIb multiple quantum well system based on a layer architecture suitable for out-of-plane conductivity and leading to a photocurrent response ratio of almost 3 orders of magnitude under AM1.5G illumination. Finally, an exclusively parallelly oriented thin film of (POE)4AgBiI8 was integrated into a device to construct the first pure n = 1 Ruddlesden-Popper 2D double perovskite solar cell.
