Summary: Inorganic relaxor ferroelectric solid solution single crystals have superior properties that make them suitable for high performance electromechanical devices. However, relaxor ferroelectric single crystals found in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are limited, but achieving these properties in them is significant for functional materials design. Fortunately, the first two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid relaxor ferroelectric single crystal, [Br(CH2)(3)NH3](2)PbBr4 (BPA(2)-PbBr4), demonstrates some of these superior properties, including large relaxation temperature change, low energy loss, and strong second harmonic generation effect. It also exhibits temperature-dependent luminescence with adjustable emitted light color, making it compatible with relaxor ferroelectricity.

Summary: Ferroelectrics can enhance the performance of all-solid-state batteries by reducing the space charge layer through the construction of a built-in electric field. However, the mechanism behind this construction is not well understood. In this study, guanidinium perchlorate (GClO(4)) ferroelectrics are used as cathode coatings in all-solid-state lithium batteries, achieving a specific capacity of 210.6 mAh g(-1) (91.6% of the liquid battery). The flexoelectric effect resulting from lattice mismatch between GClO(4) and LiCoO2 is found to create a vertically downward built-in electric field that facilitates lithium ion transport to the three-phase interface and reduces the space charge layer. These findings highlight the importance of microstructural characteristics in the construction of an effective built-in electric field.

Summary: Recently, the optical properties of organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have attracted attention in the optoelectronic field. In this study, a series of organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides with ferroelectric properties were developed using a simple mechanochemical method. The emission profiles of the metal halides were tunable with different manganese concentrations. The doped samples exhibited diluted magnetic semiconductor behavior and varied emission profiles, which could be modified by heat treatment. The results suggest potential applications of Mn-doped metal halides in solid displays, lighting, and magneto-optical devices.

Summary: Crystalline materials have been crucial for the development of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs), leading to interesting applications like solar cells and optoelectronic devices. Recently, the glassy state of HOIPs, which retains the basic building blocks of crystalline HOIPs but lacks long-range periodic order, has been discovered. The emerging family of glasses formed from HOIPs exhibit diverse properties complementary to their crystalline state. This mini review highlights the chemical diversity of 3D and 2D crystalline HOIPs and showcases the production of glasses from these materials, with a focus on achievements in melt-quenched glasses. Our perspective on the future of this new family of materials is also provided.

Summary: An In-based organic-inorganic hybrid compound, [C3H8N](3)InBr6 (1; C3H8N+ is cyclopropylammonium), has been successfully synthesized and experienced a reversible phase transition at 298 K, as confirmed by DSC measurement. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed different crystal structures at 330 K and 240 K, indicating a disorder-order changes of the cyclopropylammonium cations causing the structural phase transition, with an obvious dielectric anomaly near the transition temperature. This work paves the way for further exploration and design of In-based organic-inorganic hybrid phase transition materials.
