Abstract Achieving good stability while maintaining excellent properties is one of the main challenges for enhancing competitiveness luminescent perovskite CsPbX 3 (X=Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs). Here, we propose a facile strategy to synthesize ceramic-like stable and highly CsPbBr NCs by encapsulating them into silica derived from molecular sieve templates at high temperature (600–900 o C). The obtained -SiO 2 powders not only show photoluminescence quantum yield (~71%), but also an...

Multicolor tuning of persistent luminescence has been extensively studied by deliberately integrating various luminescent units, known as activators or chromophores, into certain host compounds. However, it remains a formidable challenge to fine-tune the spectra either in organic materials, such small molecules, polymers, metal-organic complexes and carbon dots, doped inorganic crystals. Herein, we present strategy delicately control wavelength engineering sub-bandgap donor-acceptor states...

Abstract For the display applications of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), emission linewidth, and operational stability are main parameters that directly affect performance optoelectronic device. High‐temperature solid‐state synthesis has been regarded as an eco‐friendlier process to prepare NCs than colloidal synthesis. However, it is relatively difficult control sizes size distribution at high temperatures, which usually results in a lower PLQY wider...

The thermal quenching behavior (temperature-dependent luminescence) has severely hindered the practical applications of CsPbX3 nanocrystals. Here, we find that a simple surface treatment using ammonium hexafluorosilicate (AHFS, (NH4)2SiF6) can drastically reduce CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (CPB-NCs) while enhancing their photostability. AHFS-treated sample sustains 90% its original emission intensity as temperature rises to 353 K, which is much better than (17%) pristine sample. Meanwhile,...
