Understanding the chiral mechanism of chiral hybrid perovskites is a prerequisite for developing relevant chiroptoelectronic applications. Although conventional circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy can be used to characterize chirality in chiral perovskites, it has a low signal-to-noise ratio and can provide only information about macroscopic chirality. Herein, with the aim of revealing the microscopic chiral mechanism in chiral perovskites, we utilize a spacer cation alloying strategy to construct chiral two-dimensional perovskites. For the first time, we demonstrate second-harmonic-generation CD microarea imaging in chiral perovskite thin films to unveil their spatially correlated chirality. In combination with theoretical calculations, it is revealed that the spatially correlated chirality is caused by localized out-of-plane supramolecular orientations. This work will not only advance the understanding of the mechanism of chiroptical activity in chiral perovskites but also provide inspiration for the rational design and synthesis of perovskites for chirality-related nonlinear optoelectronic devices.
