Extending halide perovskites' optoelectronic properties to stimuli-responsive chromism enables switchable optoelectronics, information display, and smart window applications. Here, we demonstrate a band gap tunability (chromism) via crystal structure transformation from three-dimensional FAPbBr3 ⟨110⟩ oriented FAn+2PbnBr3n+2 using mono-halide/cation composition (FA/Pb) tuning. Furthermore, illustrate reversible photochromism in perovskite by modulating the intermediate n phase structure,...

Developing metal–halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) has attracted great interest due to its potential application in optoelectronic devices. Herein, for the first time we report facile synthesis of Fe3+-doped cesium lead chloride (CsPbCl3) NCs along with their exciton relaxation dynamics. Efficient energy transfer occurs from host Fe3+ dopant, leading pink-colored dual emission consisting blue CsPbCl3 exitonic peak (410 nm) and red Fe-dopant state (584 nm). Interestingly, Fe-doping is...
