Metal-halide perovskites have rapidly emerged as one of the most promising materials 21st century, with many exciting properties and great potential for a broad range applications, from photovoltaics to optoelectronics photocatalysis. The ease which metal-halide can be synthesized in form brightly luminescent colloidal nanocrystals, well their tunable intriguing optical electronic properties, has attracted researchers different disciplines science technology.

We report the nontemplated colloidal synthesis of single crystal CsPbBr3 perovskite nanosheets with lateral sizes up to a few micrometers and thickness just unit cells (i.e., below 5 nm), hence in strong quantum confinement regime, by introducing short ligands (octanoic acid octylamine) together longer ones (oleic oleylamine). The size is tunable varying ratio shorter over ligands, while mainly unaffected this parameter stays practically constant at 3 nm all syntheses conducted short-to-long...

Abstract Polarized light is critical for a wide range of applications, but usually generated by filtering unpolarized light, which leads to substantial energy losses and requires additional optics. Here we demonstrate the direct emission linearly polarized from light-emitting diodes made CsPbI 3 perovskite nanoplatelet superlattices. The use solvents with different vapour pressures enables self-assembly nanoplatelets fine control over their orientation (either face-up or edge-up) therefore...
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are an emerging class of materials that have gained wide interest due to their facile color tuning and high photoluminescence quantum yield. However, the lack techniques translate performance into solid films restricts successful exploitation such in optoelectronics applications. Here, we report a heat-up large-scale synthesis quantum-confined, blue-emitting CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) self-assemble stacked lamellar structures. Spin-coated fabricated from...
Quantum-confined CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) are extremely promising for use in low-cost blue light-emitting diodes, but their tendency to coalesce both solution and film form, particularly under operating device conditions with injected charge-carriers, is hindering adoption. We show that employing a short hexyl-phosphonate ligand (C6H15O3P) heat-up colloidal approach pure, blue-emitting quantum-confined NPLs significantly suppresses these coalescence phenomena compared particles capped...
Optoelectronic devices based on lead halide perovskites are processed in facile ways, yet remarkably efficient. There extensive research efforts investigating lead-free perovskite and perovskite-related compounds, there challenges to synthesize these materials forms that can be directly integrated into thin film rather than as bulk powders. Here, we report the colloidal synthesis characterization of lead-free, antifluorite Cs2ZrX6 (X = Cl, Br) nanocrystals readily films. We use transmission...

Here, this issue addressed by performing, first time, a comprehensive study using...
Abstract Emerging functional materials such as halide perovskites are intrinsically unstable, causing long-term instability in optoelectronic devices made from these materials. This leads to difficulty capturing useful information on device degradation through time-consuming optical characterization their operating environments.
