We introduce a general surface passivation mechanism for cesium lead halide perovskite materials (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) that is supported by combined experimental and theoretical study of the nanocrystal chemistry. A variety spectroscopic methods are employed together with ab initio calculations to identify vacancies as predominant source charge trapping. The number traps per quantified 1H NMR spectroscopy, consistent simple trapping model in which create deleterious under-coordinated...
Replacing lead in halide perovskites is of great interest due to concerns about stability and toxicity. Recently, free double which the unit cell doubled two divalent cations are substituted by a combination mono- trivalent have been synthesized as bulk single crystals thin films. Here, we study optical properties all-inorganic cesium silver(I) bismuth(III) chloride bromide nanocrystals with perovskite crystal structure.

Lead toxicity has sparked interest into alternative halide nanomaterials with properties similar to CsPbX3 perovskites. A promising suggested from bulk studies is the family of double perovskites form Cs2AgMX6. Here, we report synthesis colloidal Cs2AgInCl6 and Cs2AgSbCl6 nanocrystals via injection acyl halides a metal acetate solution under atmospheric conditions relatively mild temperatures. We demonstrate single-crystalline cubic ca. 10 nm side length their morphological similarities...

Monitoring of visible light sensitized reduction CO2 at Cu nanoparticles in aqueous solution by rapid-scan ATR FT-IR spectroscopy on the time scale seconds allowed structural identification a one-electron intermediate and demonstrated its kinetic relevancy for first time. Isotopic labeling (12C: 1632, 1358, 1346 cm–1; 13C: 1588, 1326, 1316 cm–1) revealed species carbon dioxide dimer radical anion structure, most likely bound to catalyst surface through carbon. Intermediacy Cu—C(═O)OCO2– is...
Colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals exhibit unique photophysical properties including high quantum yields, tunable emission colors, and narrow photoluminescence spectra that have marked them as promising light emitters for applications in diverse photonic devices. Randomly oriented transition dipole moments limited the outcoupling efficiency of all isotropic sources, perovskites. In this report we design synthesize deep blue emitting, confined, nanoplates analyze their...
Cu nanocrystals as catalysts for CO2 reduction are a subject of considerable contemporary interest, but their stability has not been considered extensively. Herein, we report on the reconstruction during and discuss factors influencing observed changes with computer-based quantitative analysis spectroscopic techniques. The timelines opposing phenomena, sintering declustering, previously reported separately, detailed focus two forces affecting final morphology: applied potential reaction...
The ability to predict and control the formation of bimetallic heterogeneous nanocrystals is desirable for many applications in plasmonics catalysis.

Using air-free scanning transmission electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, distribution Cu Ag positions was...
Core-shell particles with thin noble metal shells represent an attractive material class potential for various applications ranging from catalysis to biomedical and pharmaceutical optical crystals.
