The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $530,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to develop new chiral two-dimensional hybrid perovskite materials with tunable circular dichroism properties. The project aims to synthesize and characterize hybrid perovskites that combine chiral and achiral organic cations, with the goal of expanding the range and amplifying the response of their chiroptical behaviors. The research will investigate the mechanism of chirality transfer from the organic to the inorganic perovskite framework, potentially leading to novel applications such as circular polarized light detection and emission. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and promote research with societal impact. The project is scheduled to be completed by August 31, 2027.
