As the field of 2D halide perovskites (HPs) matures, state-of-the-art techniques to measure important properties, such as the band gap (Eg) and exciton binding energy (Eb), continue to produce inconsis-tent values. Here, we tackle this long-standing problem by obtaining direct measurements of Eg and Eb for 31 unique HP structures. The Eb values are lower than in previous literature reports and lower than expected from standard theory that assumes excitons are screened by optical-frequency dielectric constants. These low Eb values are shown to be a consequence of unique screening effects, such as superlattice screening and phonon screening. We find a strikingly strong correlation between Eb and Eg and provide design principles to a priori tune Eg and Eb to their optimal values. As such, this work offers a blueprint for Eg-Eb engineering of low -dimen-sional semiconductors as an even more useful replacement for sim-ply band-gap engineering.
