2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are exciting materials for optoelectronic device applications due to their higher chemical and structural adjustability. Precise control over carrier concentrations necessitates the electronic doping of these materials through the incorporation of extrinsic dopants. Conversely, the undesirable presence of intrinsic defects can adversely affect electronic doping efficiencies. In this study, we investigate intrinsic point defects and extrinsic dopants (e.g., Bi, Sn [PRX Energy, 2, 023010 (2023)]) both in isolation and as combined defects in phenylethylammonium lead iodide (PEA2PbI4). Employing spin-orbit-coupled hybrid density functional theory (DFT) and supercell models scaling up to 3,383 atoms, we identify the anticipated positions of dopant-derived electronic levels within the bandgap. Complementary experimental findings reinforce hypotheses of compensation mechanisms and limiting factors derived from DFT.
