Abstract
Organic on-surface syntheses promise to be a useful method for direct integration of organic molecules onto 2-dimensional (2D) flat surfaces. In the past years, there has been an increasing understanding of the mechanistic details of reactions on surfaces, however, mostly under ultra-high vacuum on very defined surfaces. Herein, we expand the scope to gold nanoparticles (AuNps) in solution via an Ullmann reaction of aryl halides connected via N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to AuNps. Through design and syntheses of various organic precursors, we address the influence of the contact angle, reactivity of the halogen and the proximity of the entire coupling partner on on-surface reactivities, thus, establishing general parameters governing organic on-surface syntheses on AuNps in solution, in comparison with the reactivity on defined surfaces under ultra-high vacuum. The retention of such halogenated Nps even at higher reaction temperatures holds great promise in the fields of materials engineering, nanotechnology and molecular self-assembly, while expanding the toolbox of organic chemistry synthesis in accessing various covalent architectures.

Abstract
The lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) research area is flourishing due to their exceptional properties and great potential for a wide range of applications in optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Yet, despite the momentum in the field, perovskite devices are not yet ready for commercialization due to degradation caused by intrinsic phase transitions and external factors such as moisture, temperature, and ultraviolet (UV) light. To attain long-term stability, we analyze the origin of instabilities and describe different strategies such as surface modification, encapsulation, and doping for long-term viability. We also assess how these stabilizing strategies have been utilized to obtain optoelectronic devices with long-term stability. This Mini-Review also outlines the future direction of each strategy for producing highly efficient and ultrastable LHP NCs for sustainable applications.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are promising luminescent materials for electronic color displays due to their high luminescence efficiency, widely-tunable emission wavelengths, and narrow emission linewidth. Their application in emerging display technologies necessitates precise micron-scale patterning while maintaining good optical performance. Although photolithography is a well-established micro-patterning technique in the industry, conventional processes are incompatible with PNCs as the use of polar solvents can damage the ionic PNCs, causing severe luminescence quenching. Here, we report the rational design and synthesis of a new bidentate photo-crosslinkable ligand for the direct photo-patterning of PNCs. Each ligand contains two photosensitive acrylate groups and two carboxylate groups, and is introduced to the PNCs via an entropy-driven ligand exchange process. In a close-packed thin film, the acrylate ligands photo-polymerize and crosslink under ultraviolet light, rendering the PNCs insoluble in developing solvents. A high-density crosslinked PNC film with an optical density of 1.1 is attained at 1.4 µm thickness, surpassing industry requirements on the absorption coefficient. Micron-scale patterning is further demonstrated using direct laser writing, producing well-defined 20 µm features. This study thus offers an effective and versatile approach for micro-patterning PNCs, and may also be broadly applicable to other nanomaterial systems.

Abstract
Near-infrared light-emitting diodes (NIR LEDs) based on perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have produced external quantum efficiency (EQE) of ~15 %. However, these high-performance NIR-QLEDs suffer from immediate carrier quenching because of the accumulation of migratable ions at the surface of the QDs. These uncoordinated ions and carriers-if not bound to the nanocrystal surface-serve as centers for exciton quenching and device degradation. In this work, we overcome this issue and fabricate high-performance NIR QLEDs by devising a ligand anchoring strategy, which entails dissolving the strong-binding ligand (Guanidine Hydroiodide, GAI) in the mediate-polar solvent. By employing the dye-sensitized device structure (phosphorescent indicator), we demonstrate the elimination of the interface defects. The treated QDs films exhibit an exciton binding energy of 117 meV: this represents a 1.5-fold increase compared to that of the control (74 meV). We report, as a result, the NIR QLEDs with an EQE of 21 % which is a record among NIR perovskite QLEDs. These QLEDs also exhibit a 7-fold higher operational stability than that of the best previously reported NIR QLEDs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the QDs are compatible with large-area QLEDs: we showcase 900 mm2 QLEDs with EQE approaching 20 %.

Abstract
Liquid scintillation processes are commonly used for various applications involving radioactivity levels analysis, as well as experiments in the field of high energy physics, most commonly in the form of organic scintillating cocktails. In this paper, we explore the potential of halide perovskite nanocrystal colloidal dispersions as an alternative to those organic mixtures. After an optimization of the nanocrystals' mean size and surface chemistry, the scintillation yield of these composite mixtures is evaluated through Compton - Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio experiments and compared with commercial liquid scintillator. The obtained results shine a light on the energy deposition mechanisms in nanocrystals-based liquid scintillators.

Abstract
Cesium lead halide perovskite (CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals showing intense band-edge emission and high photoluminescence quantum yield are known to be a potential candidate for application in optoelectronic devices. However, controlling toxicity due to the presence of Pb2+in lead-based halide perovskites is a major challenge for the environment that needs to be tackled cautiously. In this work, we have partially replaced Pb2+with Mn2+ions in the CsPb(Cl/Br)3nanocrystals and investigated their impact on the structural and optical properties. The Rietveld refinement shows that CsPbCl2Br nanocrystals possess a cubic crystal structure withPm3̅mspace group, the Mn2+doping results in the contraction of the unit cell. The CsPb(Cl/Br)3: Mn nanocrystals show a substantial change in the optical properties with an additional emission band at ∼588 nm through a d-d transition, changing the emission color from blue to pink. Here, a didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) ligand that triggers both anion and ligand exchange in the CsPb(Cl/Br)3: Mn nanocrystals have been used to regulate the exchange reaction and tune the emission color of halide perovskites by changing the peak position and the PL intensities of band-edge and Mn2+defect states. We have also shown that oleic acid helps in the desorption of oleylamine capping from the CsPb(Cl/Br)3: Mn nanocrystal surfaces and DDAB, resulting in the substitution of Cl-with Br-as well as provides capping with shorter branched length ligand which led to increase in the overall PL intensity by many folds.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs) have sparked widespread research due to their intriguing optoelectronic. However, the CsPbI3 QDs undergo inevitable aging and luminescence quenching caused by the weak binding ability of oleate (OA-)/oleylammonium (OAm+), hindering further practical application. Herein, we have realized ultrafast rejuvenation of the aged CsPbI3 QDs that have lost their photoluminescence performance based on a 1-dodecanethiol (DDT) surface ligand to restore the outstanding red light emission with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) from 25 to 90%. Furthermore, CsPbI3 QDs with DDT surface treatment maintain a cubic phase and high PLQY value even after 35 days. The DDT ligands can form a strong bond with Pb2+ and passivate I- ion vacancies, enhancing radiative recombination efficiency and thereby improving the PLQY of the QDs. The stable yet easily accessible surface of the DDT-capped CsPbI3 QDs was successfully employed as white LEDs and exhibited considerable enhanced luminous performance, suggesting promising application in solid-state lighting fields.

Abstract
Inorganic colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) encapsulated by surface capping ligands exhibit tremendous potential in optoelectronic applications, with their surface structure playing a pivotal role in enhancing their photophysical properties. Soy lecithin, a tightly binding zwitterionic surface-capping ligand, has recently facilitated the high-yield synthesis of stable ultraconcentrated and ultradilute colloids of CsPbX3 NCs, unlocking a myriad of potential device applications. However, the atomic-level understanding of the ligand-terminated surface structure remains uncertain. Herein, we use a versatile solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic approach, in combination with dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to explore the effect of lecithin on the core-to-surface structures of CsPbX3 (X = Cl or Br) perovskites, sized from micron to nanoscale. Surface-selective (cross-polarization, CP) solid-state and DNP NMR (133Cs and 207Pb) methods were used to differentiate the unique surface and core chemical environments, while the head-groups {trimethylammonium [-N(CH3)3+] and phosphate (-PO4-)} of lecithin were assigned via 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy. A direct approach to determining the surface structure by capitalizing on the unique heteronuclear dipolar couplings between the lecithin ligand (1H and 31P) and the surface of the CsPbCl3 NCs (133Cs and 207Pb) is demonstrated. The 1H-133Cs heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) DNP NMR indicates an abundance of Cs on the NC surface and an intimate proximity of the -N(CH3)3+ groups to the surface and subsurface 133Cs atoms, supported by 1H{133Cs} rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, the 1H-31P{207Pb} CP REDOR dephasing curve provides average internuclear distance information that allows assessment of -PO4- groups binding to the subsurface Pb atoms. Atomistic MD simulations of ligand-capped CsPbCl3 surfaces aid in the interpretation of this information and suggest that ligand -N(CH3)3+ and -PO4- head-groups substitute Cs+ and Cl- ions, respectively, at the CsCl-terminated surface of the NCs. These detailed atomistic insights into surface structures can further guide the engineering of various relevant surface-capping zwitterionic ligands for diverse metal halide perovskite NCs.

Abstract
Dopants can endow lead-free perovskite nanocrystals with novel photoelectric properties. However, understanding the effect of dopants on the structure and energy transfer of lead-free perovskite nanocrystals remains limited. In this work, we synthesize zero-dimensional Cs2ZrCl6 nanocrystals with a blue light quantum yield of up to 75.6% by an improved hot-injection method. And we introduce trace amounts of lanthanide ions (Ln3+) (<∼8%) in the lattice of nanocrystals and establish an effective energy transfer channel from self-trapped excitons (STEs) to various Ln3+ ions (Tb3+, Eu3+, Dy3+, Sm3+, and Pr3+), which can achieve tunable photoluminescence between red, green and blue. Interestingly, with increasing Ln3+ concentrations (>∼10%), the phase transition from the cubic phase Cs2ZrCl6:Ln3+ to the monoclinic phase Cs3LnCl6:Zr4+ occurred, while Zr4+ ions began to act as dopants. And a new energy transfer channel from dopant [ZrCl6]2- to host Ln3+ ions was established in the Cs3LnCl6 host accompanied by enhanced broadband photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL). In particular, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of Tb3+ ions increases from 0.77% to 54% upon the phase transition (under 276 nm excitation). Our study provides new insights into the effects of dopants on the structure of perovskite nanocrystals and is beneficial to the design of a variety of light-emitting materials for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, or I) perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) show promise for next-generation optoelectronics. In this study, we controlled the electronic coupling between PeQD multilayers using a layer-by-layer method and dithiol linkers of varying structures. The energy shift of the first excitonic peak from monolayer to bilayer decreases exponentially with increasing interlayer spacer distance, indicating the resonant tunnelling effect. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed anisotropic inter-PeQD distances in multiple layers. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed lower energy emission in the in-plane direction due to the electronic coupling in the out-of-plane direction, supporting the anisotropic electronic state in the PeQD multilayers. Temperature-dependent PL and PL lifetimes indicated changes in exciton behaviour due to the delocalized electronic state in PeQD multilayers. Particularly, the electron-phonon coupling strength increased, and the exciton recombination rate decreased. This is the first study demonstrating controlled electronic coupling in a three-dimensional ordered structure, emphasizing the importance of the anisotropic electronic state for high-performance PeQDs devices.

Abstract
Despite the promising candidacy of perovskite nanocrystals for light-emitting diodes, their pure red electroluminescence is hindered by low saturated luminance, severe external quantum efficiency roll-off, and inferior operational stability. Here, we report ultra-bright and stable pure red light-emitting diodes by manipulating Joule heat generation in the nanocrystal emissive layer and thermal management within the device. Diphenylphosphoryl azide-mediated regulation of the nanocrystal surface synergistically enhances the optical properties and carrier transport of the emissive layer, enabling reduced Joule heat generation and thus lowering the working temperature. These merits inhibit ion migration of the CsPb(Br/I)3 nanocrystal film, promising excellent spectra stability. Combined with the highly thermal-conductive sapphire substrates and implementation of pulse-driving mode, the pure red light-emitting diodes exhibit an ultra-bright luminance of 390,000 cd m-2, a peak external quantum efficiency of 25%, suppressed efficiency roll-off, an operational half-life of 20 hours, and superior spectral stability within 15 A cm-2.

Abstract
Halide perovskites (HPs) have gained significant interest in the scientific and technological sectors due to their unique optical, catalytic, and electrical characteristics. However, the HPs are prone to decomposition when exposed to air, oxygen, or heat. The instability of HP materials limits their commercialization, prompting significant efforts to address and overcome these limitations. Transition metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2, are chemically stable and are suitable for electronic, optical, and catalytic applications. Moreover, it can be used as a protective media or shell for other nanoparticles. In this study, a novel CsPbBr3@MoS2 core-shell nanostructure (CS-NS) is successfully synthesized by enveloping CsPbBr3 within a MoS2 shell for the first time. Significant stability of CS-NSs dispersed in polar solvents for extended periods is also demonstrated. Remarkably, the hybrid CS-NS exhibits an absorption of MoS2 and quenching of the HP's photoluminescence, implying potential charge or energy transfer from HPs to MoS2. Using finite difference time domain simulations, it is found that the CS-NSs can be utilized to produce efficient solar cells. The addition of a MoS2 shell enhances the performance of CS-NS-based solar cells by 220% compared to their CsPbBr3 counterparts. The innovative CS-NS represents important progress in harnessing HPs for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) have garnered attention as promising light-harvesting materials for optoelectronics and photovoltaic devices, attributed to their impressive optoelectronic properties. However, their susceptibility to moisture-induced degradation has hindered their practical applications. Despite various encapsulation strategies, challenges persist in maintaining their stability and optoelectronic performance simultaneously. Here, a ligand exchange approach is proposed using (11-mercaptoundecyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (MUTAB) to enhance the stability and dispersibility of CsPbBr3 (CPB) NCs in aqueous environments. MUTAB enables effective surface passivation of the CPB NCs via robust Pb-S interactions at the S-terminal while concurrently directing water molecules through the unbound cationic N-terminal or vice versa, ensuring water dispersibility and stability. Spectroscopic analysis confirms retained structural and optical integrity post-ligand exchange. Crucially, MUTAB-bound CPB NCs exhibit sustained charge transfer properties, demonstrated by aqueous colloidal oxidation reactions. This ligand exchange strategy offers a promising pathway for advancing LHP NCs toward practical optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
The migration of mobile ionic halide vacancies is usually considered detrimental to the performance and stability of perovskite optoelectronic devices. Taking advantage of this intrinsic feature, we fabricated a CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dot (PQD)-based write-once-read-many-times (WORM) memory device with a simple sandwich structure that demonstrates intrinsic ternary states with a high ON/OFF ratio of 103:102:1 and a long retention time of 104 s. Through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, we proved that the resistive switching is achieved by the migration of mobile iodine vacancies (VIs) under an electric field to form conductive filaments (CFs). Using in situ conductive atomic force microscopy, we further revealed that the multilevel property arises from the different activation energies for VIs to migrate at grain boundaries and grain interiors, resulting in two distinct pathways for CFs to grow. Our work highlights the potential of CsPbI3 PQD-based WORM devices, showcasing intrinsic multilevel properties achieved in a simple device structure by rationally controlling the drift of ionic defects.

Abstract
Reducing the size of perovskite crystals to confine excitons and passivating surface defects has fueled a significant advance in the luminescence efficiency of perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the persistent gap between the optical limit of electroluminescence efficiency and the photoluminescence efficiency of colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) suggests that defect passivation alone is not sufficient to achieve highly efficient colloidal PeNC-LEDs. Here, we present a materials approach to controlling the dynamic nature of the perovskite surface. Our experimental and theoretical studies reveal that conjugated molecular multipods (CMMs) adsorb onto the perovskite surface by multipodal hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions, strengthening the near-surface perovskite lattice and reducing ionic fluctuations which are related to nonradiative recombination. The CMM treatment strengthens the perovskite lattice and suppresses its dynamic disorder, resulting in a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield of PeNC films and a high external quantum efficiency (26.1%) of PeNC-LED with pure green emission that matches the Rec.2020 color standard for next-generation vivid displays.

Abstract
Optically driven cooling of a material, or optical refrigeration, is possible when optical up-conversion via anti-Stokes photoluminescence (ASPL) is achieved with near-unity quantum yield. The recent demonstration of optical cooling of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) has provided a path forward in the development of semiconductor-based optical refrigeration strategies. However, the mechanism of ASPL in CsPbBr3 NCs is not yet settled, and the prospects for cooling technologies strongly depend on details of the mechanism. By analyzing the Arrhenius behavior of ASPL in CsPbBr3 NCs, we investigated the relationship between the average energy gained per photon during up conversion, ΔE, and the thermal activation energy, Ea. We find that Ea is systematically larger than ΔE, and that Ea increases for larger ΔE. We suggest that the additional energetic cost is due to a rearrangement of the crystal lattice as charge carriers pass from surface localized, structurally distinct sub-gap polaron states to the free exciton state during up-conversion. Our interpretation is further corroborated by quantifying the impact of ligand coverage on the NC surface. These findings help inform the development of CsPbBr3 NCs for applications in optical refrigeration.

Abstract
In recent years, halide perovskites have attracted considerable attention for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. However, the presence of surface defects and the lack of specific catalytic sites for CO2 reduction lead to low photocatalytic performance. In this study, we demonstrate a facile method that post-treats CsPbBr3 with ZnBr2 for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Our experimental and characterization results show that ZnBr2 has a dual role: the Br- ions in ZnBr2 passivate Br vacancies (VBr) on the CsPbBr3 surface, while Zn2+ cations act as catalytic sites for CO2 reduction. The ZnBr2-CsPbBr3 achieves a photocatalytic CO evolution rate of 57 μmol g-1 h-1, which is nearly three times higher than that of the pristine CsPbBr3. The enhanced performance over ZnBr2-CsPbBr3 is mainly due to the decreased VBr and lower reaction energy barrier for CO2 reduction. This work presents an effective method to simultaneously passivate surface defects and introduce catalytic sites, providing useful guidance for the regulation of perovskite photoelectric properties and the design of efficient photocatalysts.

Abstract
Perovskite CsPbBr3 quantum dot shows great potential in artificial photosynthesis, attributed to its outstanding optoelectronic properties. Nevertheless, its photocatalytic activity is hindered by insufficient catalytic active sites and severe charge recombination. In this work, a CsPbBr3@Ag-C3N4 ternary heterojunction photocatalyst is designed and synthesized for high-efficiency CO2 reduction. The CsPbBr3 quantum dots and Ag nanoparticles are chemically anchored on the surface of g-C3N4 sheets, forming an electron transfer tunnel from CsPbBr3 quantum dots to Ag nanoparticles via g-C3N4 sheets. The resulting CsPbBr3@Ag-C3N4 ternary photocatalyst, with spatial separation of photogenerated carriers, achieves a remarkable conversion rate of 19.49 μmol·g-1·h-1 with almost 100 % CO selectivity, a 3.13-fold enhancement in photocatalytic activity as compared to CsPbBr3 quantum dots. Density functional theory calculations reveal the rapid CO2 adsorption/activation and the decreased free energy (0.66 eV) of *COOH formation at the interface of Ag nanoparticles and g-C3N4 in contrast to the g-C3N4, leading to the excellent photocatalytic activity, while the thermodynamically favored CO desorption contributes to the high CO selectivity. This work presents an innovative strategy of constructing perovskite-based photocatalyst by modulating catalyst structure and offers profound insights for efficient CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Semiconductor lead halide perovskites are excellent candidates for realizing low threshold light amplification due to their tunable and highly efficient luminescence, ease of processing, and strong light-matter interactions. However, most studies on optical gain have addressed bulk films, nanowires, or nanocrystals that exhibit little or no size quantization. Here, we show by means of a multitude of optical spectroscopy methods that small CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit a progressive red shift of the band-edge transition upon addition of electron-hole pairs, at least one carrier of which occupies a 2-fold degenerate, delocalized state in agreement with strong confinement. We demonstrate that this combination results in a threshold for biexciton gain, well below the limit of one electron-hole pair on average per NC. On the other hand, both the luminescent lifetime and the optical Stark effect of 4.7 nm CsPbBr3 NCs indicate that the oscillator strength of the band-edge transition is considerably smaller than expected from the band-edge absorption. We assign this discrepancy to a mixed confinement regime, with one delocalized and one localized charge carrier, and show that the concomitant reduction of the oscillator strength for stimulated emission accounts for the surprisingly small material gain observed in small NCs. The conclusion of mixed confinement aligns with studies reporting small and large polarons for holes and electrons in lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, respectively, and creates opportunities for understanding multiexciton photophysics in confined perovskite materials.

Abstract
Even though lead halide perovskite has been demonstrated as a promising optoelectronic material for next-generation display applications, achieving high-efficiency and stable pure-red (620~635 nm) emission to cover the full visible wavelength is still challenging. Here, we report perovskite light-emitting diodes emitting pure-red light at 628 nm achieving high external quantum efficiencies of 26.04%. The performance is attributed to successful synthesizing strongly confined CsPbI3 quantum dots with good stability. The strong binding 2-naphthalene sulfonic acid ligands are introduced after nucleation to suppress Ostwald ripening, meanwhile, ammonium hexafluorophosphate exchanges long chain ligands and avoids regrowth by strong binding during the purification process. Both ligands enhance the charge transport ability of CsPbI3 quantum dots. The state-of-the-art synthesis of pure red CsPbI3 quantum dots achieves 94% high quantum efficiency, which can maintain over 80% after 50 days, providing a method for synthesizing stable strong confined perovskite quantum dots.

Abstract
Iodide perovskites have demonstrated their unprecedented high efficiency and commercialization potential, and their superior optoelectronic properties, such as high absorption coefficient, high carrier mobility, and narrow direct bandgap, have attracted much attention, especially in solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, whether it is organic iodide perovskite, organic-inorganic hybrid iodide perovskite or all-inorganic iodide perovskite the stability of these iodide perovskites is still poor and the contamination is high. In recent years, scholars have studied more iodide perovskites to improve their stability as well as optoelectronic properties from various angles. This paper systematically reviews the strategies (component engineering, additive engineering, dimensionality reduction engineering, and phase mixing engineering) used to improve the stability of iodide perovskites and their applications in recent years.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have demonstrated great potential in emerging display technologies. However, the practical application of PNCs is hindered by the inherent instability of their ionic surface. Here, we proposed a surface modification approach to enhance the stability of CsPbBr3 PNCs by postsynthetic treatment with aluminum phenylbutyrate (Al(PA)3). Our study reveals that Al(PA)3 displaces ammonium ligands and binds tightly on surface halide, providing excellent air and moisture resistance while preserving a high quantum efficiency of 81.6%. The modified PNCs maintain a constant photoluminescence intensity under continuous UV light illumination for 500 h. Additionally, the Al(PA)3 ligand is compatible with styrene, enabling homogeneous dispersion of PNCs in polystyrene matrices to form bright and uniform PNC-PS thin films. We demonstrated the application of the composite films for display backlighting, which exhibits a wide color gamut of 125% NTSC. The result highlights the potential of AlPA-modified PNCs in light-emitting and other optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Ligands play a critical role in the optical properties and chemical stability of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs), but identifying ligands that can enhance NC properties is daunting, given the high dimensionality of chemical space. Here, we use machine learning (ML) and robotic screening to accelerate the discovery of ligands that enhance the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of CsPbBr3 perovskite NCs. We developed a ML model designed to predict the relative PL enhancement of perovskite NCs when coordinated with a ligand selected from a pool of 29,904 candidate molecules. Ligand candidates were selected using an active learning (AL) approach that accounted for uncertainty quantified by twin regressors. After eight experimental iterations of batch AL (corresponding to 21 initial and 72 model-recommended ligands), the uncertainty of the model decreased, demonstrating an increased confidence in the model predictions. Feature importance and counterfactual analyses of model predictions illustrate the potential use of ligand field strength in designing PL-enhancing ligands. Our versatile AL framework can be readily adapted to screen the effect of ligands on a wide range of colloidal nanomaterials.

Abstract
Perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs), as a promising material to achieve pure blue emission, have attracted significant attention in high gamut displays. However, the high surface-to-volume ratio and the loosely connected ligands of NPLs make them susceptible to degradation from light, air and heat. As a result, NPLs often exhibit low photoluminescence (PL) intensity and instability. Here, an Mn-ligand passivation strategy is proposed, in which Mn-doped DMAPbBr3 is used as a precursor. During the perovskite transformation, Mn2+ ions migrate from the lattice of DMAPbBr3 to the surface of CsPbBr3 NPLs, which have strong binding forces with ligands. The final products Mn-CsPbBr3 (M-CPB) NPLs are then acquired by the ligand-induced ripening growth process, which not only exhibit pure blue emission with narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), but also possess near-unity PL quantum yields (QYs). Besides, M-CPB NPLs show excellent stability due to the strong Mn-ligand passivation layer. Based on the new growth mechanism discovery, the reaction time can be shortened to several minutes by heating. The innovative growth model proposed in this work will provide a paradigm for designing and optimizing future synthesis schemes.

Abstract
The sensitization of surface-anchored organic dyes on semiconductor nanocrystals through energy transfer mechanisms has received increasing attention owing to their potential applications in photodynamic therapy, photocatalysis, and photon upconversion. Here, we investigate the sensitization mechanisms through visible-light excitation of two nanohybrids based on CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NC) functionalized with borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, specifically 8-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BDP) and 8-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,6-diiodo-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (I2-BDP), named as NC@BDP and NC@I2-BDP, respectively. The ability of I2-BDP dyes to extract hot hole carriers from the perovskite nanocrystals is comprehensively investigated by combining steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence as well as femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy with spectroelectrochemistry and quantum chemical theoretical calculations, which together provide a complete overview of the phenomena that take place in the nanohybrid. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) dominates (82%) the photosensitization of the singlet excited state of BDP in the NC@BDP nanohybrid with a rate constant of 3.8 ± 0.2 × 1010 s-1, while charge transfer (64%) mediated by an ultrafast charge transfer rate constant of 1.00 ± 0.08 × 1012 s-1 from hot states and hole transfer from the band edge is found to be mainly responsible for the photosensitization of the triplet excited state of I2-BDP in the NC@I2-BDP nanohybrid. These findings suggest that the NC@I2-BDP nanohybrid is a unique energy transfer photocatalyst for oxidizing α-terpinene to ascaridole through singlet oxygen formation.

Abstract
Amidst the rapid advancements in the fields of photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices, CsPbBr3 nanosheets (NSs) have emerged as a focal point of research due to their exceptional optical and electronic properties. This work explores the application potential of CsPbBr3 NSs in photonic and catalytic domains. Utilizing an optimized hot-injection method and a ZnBr2-assisted in situ passivation strategy, we successfully synthesized CsPbBr3 NSs with controlled dimensions and optical characteristics. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the nucleation environment and thickness significantly influenced the structure and optical performance of the materials. The results indicate that the optimized synthesis method enables control over the lateral dimensions of the nanoparticles, ranging from 9.1 ± 0.06 nm to 334.5 ± 4.40 nm, facilitating the tuning of the excitation wavelength from 460 nm (blue) to 510 nm (green). Further analyses involving photoresponse and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated the substantial potential of these NSs in applications such as photocatalysis and energy conversion.

Abstract
The development of high-performance photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction is appealing to address energy and environmental issues, while it is challenging to avoid using toxic metals and organic sacrificial reagents. We here immobilize a family of cobalt phthalocyanine catalysts on Pb-free halide perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 nanosheets with delicate control on the anchors of the cobalt catalysts. Among them, the molecular hybrid photocatalyst assembled by carboxyl anchors achieves the optimal performance with an electron consumption rate of 300±13 μmol g-1 h-1 for visible-light-driven CO2-to-CO conversion coupled with water oxidation to O2, over 8 times of the unmodified Cs2AgBiBr6 (36±8 μmol g-1 h-1), also far surpassing the documented systems (<150 μmol g-1 h-1). Besides the improved intrinsic activity, electrochemical, computational, ex-/in situ X-ray photoelectron and X-ray absorption spectroscopic results indicate that the electrons photogenerated at the Bi atoms of Cs2AgBiBr6 can be directionally transferred to the cobalt catalyst via the carboxyl anchors which strongly bind to the Bi atoms, substantially facilitating the interfacial electron transfer kinetics and thereby the photocatalysis.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) offer unique advantages in large-area and thick-film deposition for X-ray detection applications due to the decoupling of the crystallization of perovskite from film formation, as well as their low-temperature and scalable deposition methods. However, the partial detachment of long-chain ligands in PNCs during the purification process would lead to the exposure of surface defects, making it challenging to ensure efficient charge carrier extraction and stable X-ray detection. In this study, we propose a beneficial strategy that involves the in situ reparation of these exposed defects with sodium bromide (NaBr) during the purification process to construct CsPbBr3 PNC-organic bulk heterostructure X-ray detectors. The NaBr-passivated PNCs exhibit stronger photoluminescence intensity and lower trap density in films compared to those of the control samples, confirming the effective passivation of halide vacancy defects. Furthermore, the NiOx hole transport layer with remarkable electron blocking capability is introduced to further suppress the dark current of the devices. Consequently, the optimal devices exhibit a large sensitivity of 4237 μC Gyair-1 cm-2 and a low dark current density of 10 nA cm-2, as well as improved operational stability, which allows for high-contrast and low-dose X-ray imaging applications.

Abstract
Ligand engineering is crucial for tuning the structural and optoelectronic properties of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), which also improves their stability. In contrast to the typically used long-chain alkylamine ligands, we successfully introduced an aromatic 1-(p-tolyl)ethylamine (PTEA) ligand to synthesize the CsPbX3 (X = Br or I) NCs. The CsPbI3 and CsPbBr3 NCs demonstrated long carrier lifetimes of ∼877 and 49 ns, respectively, as well as high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of ∼99% and 95%, respectively. Furthermore, such NCs realized excellent long-term stability in an ambient atmosphere without obvious degradation over one month. All of these properties were better than the properties of NCs coated with the conventional alkylamine ligands. The high performance of these NCs was discussed with the effective surface passivation by PTEA. Our finding suggests a facile and effective ligand (PTEA) for modulating perovskites, achieving enhancement of both the carrier lifetime and the PLQY.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit size-dependent bandgap and carrier confinement compared to bulk counterparts due to the quantum confinement effect, making them essential for achieving wide-color-gamut displays, studying excitonic spin relaxation, and constructing superlattices. Despite their promising potential, they face a variety of technical bottlenecks, such as insufficient color reproducibility, limited large-scale production, low stability, and toxicity. An outline of a research roadmap is provided in the review, which highlights key challenges in developing perovskite NCs for commercial applications.

Abstract
The low photoluminescence (PL) efficiency and unstable features of small blue-emitting CsPbX3 nanocrystals (NCs) greatly limit their applications in optoelectronics field. Herein, the synergistic and post-treatment kinetics are studied to create highly bright and anomalous stable violet (peak position of ≈408 nm) and blue (peak position of ∼ 466 nm) emitting perovskite NCs. Ligand and ion exchange mechanism are systematic studied by the evolution of absorption, PL, and fluorescence lifetime to evaluate ligand bonding, defect engineering, and non-radiative recombination. Didodecyl dimethyl mmonium chloride (DDAC) and CuX2 post-synergistic treatment created DDAC-CsPbCl3-CuCl2 and DDAC-CsPbCl3-CuBr2 NCs that remained the phase composition, morphology, and size of CsPbCl3 NCs. The PL efficiencies are drastically increased to 42 and 85% for violet- and blue-emitting NCs, respectively. The stability test indicated that the NCs enable against various harsh conditions (e.g., ultraviolet light irradiation and heat-treatment). The NCs retained their initial PL efficiency after 2 months under ambient conditions and UV light irradiation. These NCs also exhibited high stability after heat-treatment at 120 °C. The emitting NCs embedded in flexible films still revealed bright PL and high stability, suggesting current results provide a new avenue for the application in the field of optoelectronics.

Abstract
Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are promising for various photonic applications due to their high colour purity, tunable optoelectronic properties and excellent solution processability. Surface features impact their optoelectronic properties, and surface defects remain a major obstacle to progress. Here we develop a strategy utilizing diisooctylphosphinic acid-mediated synthesis combined with hydriodic acid-etching-driven nanosurface reconstruction to stabilize CsPbI3 QDs. Diisooctylphosphinic acid strongly adsorbs to the QDs and increases the formation energy of halide vacancies, enabling nanosurface reconstruction. The QD film with nanosurface reconstruction shows enhanced phase stability, improved photoluminescence endurance under thermal stress and electric field conditions, and a higher activation energy for ion migration. Consequently, we demonstrate perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that feature an electroluminescence peak at 644 nm. These LEDs achieve an external quantum efficiency of 28.5% and an operational half-lifetime surpassing 30 h at an initial luminance of 100 cd m-2, marking a tenfold improvement over previously published studies. The integration of these high-performance LEDs with specifically designed thin-film transistor circuits enables the demonstration of solution-processed active-matrix perovskite displays that show a peak external quantum efficiency of 23.6% at a display brightness of 300 cd m-2. This work showcases nanosurface reconstruction as a pivotal pathway towards high-performance QD-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
In recent years, colloidal lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) have exhibited such intriguing light absorption properties to be contemplated as promising candidates for photocatalytic conversions. However, for effective photocatalysis, the light harvesting system needs to be stable under the reaction conditions propaedeutic to a specific transformation. Unlike photoinduced oxidative reaction pathways, photoreductions with LHP NCs are challenging due to their scarce compatibility with common hole scavengers like amines and alcohols. In this contribution, it is investigated the potential of CsPbBr3 NCs protected by a suitably engineered bidentate ligand for the photoreduction of quinone species. Using an in situ approach for the construction of the passivating agent and a halide excess environment, quantum-confined nanocubes (average edge length = 6.0 ± 0.8 nm) are obtained with a low ligand density (1.73 ligand/nm2) at the NC surface. The bifunctional adhesion of the engineered ligand boosts the colloidal stability of the corresponding NCs, preserving their optical properties also in the presence of an amine excess. Despite their relatively short exciton lifetime (τAV = 3.7 ± 0.2 ns), these NCs show an efficient fluorescence quenching in the presence of the selected electron accepting quinones (1,4-naphthoquinone, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, and 9,10-anthraquinone). All of these aspects demonstrate the suitability of the NCs for an efficient photoreduction of 1,4-naphthoquinone to 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene in the presence of triethylamine as a hole scavenger. This chemical transformation is impracticable with conventionally passivated LHP NCs, thereby highlighting the potential of the surface functionalization in this class of nanomaterials for exploring new photoinduced reactivities.

Abstract
Inorganic cesium lead bromide nanocrystals (CsPbBr3 NCs) hold promising prospects for high performance green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) due to their exceptional color purity and high luminescence efficiency. However, the common ligands employed for passivating these indispensable NCs, such as long-chain organic ligands like oleic acid and oleylamine (OA/OAm), display highly dynamic binding and electronic insulating issues, thereby resulting in a low efficiency of the as-fabricated LEDs. Herein, we report a new zwitterionic short-branched alkyl sulfobetaine ligand, namely trioctyl(propyl-3-sulfonate) ammonium betaine (TOAB), to in situ passivate CsPbBr3 NCs via a feasible one-step solution synthesis, enabling efficiency improvement of CsPbBr3 NC-based LEDs. The zwitterionic TOAB ligand not only strengthened the surface passivation of CsPbBr3 NCs with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 97%, but also enhanced the carrier transport in the fabricated CsPbBr3 NC thin films due to the short-branched alkyl design. Consequently, CsPbBr3 NCs passivated with TOAB achieved a green LED with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.3% and a maximum luminance of 5716 cd m-2, surpassing those of LEDs based on insulating long-chain ligand-passivated NCs. Our work provides an effective surface passivation ligand design to enhance the performance of CsPbBr3 NC-based LEDs.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals are advantageous for interfacial passivation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), but the insulating long alkyl chain surface ligands impede the charge transfer, while the conventional ligand exchange would possibly introduce surface defects to the nanocrystals. In this work, we reported novel in situ modification of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals using a short chain conjugated molecule 2-methoxyphenylethylammonium iodide (2-MeO-PEAI) for interfacial passivation of PSCs. Transmission electron microscopy studies with atomic resolution unveil the transformation from cubic CsPbBr3 to Ruddlesden-Popper phase (RPP) nanocrystals due to halogen exchange. Synergic passivation by the RPP nanocrystals and 2-MeO-PEA+ has led to suppressed interface defects and enhanced charge carrier transport. Consequently, PSCs with in situ modified RPP nanocrystals achieved a champion power conversion efficiency of 24.39%, along with an improvement in stability. This work brings insights into the microstructural evolution of perovskite nanocrystals, providing a novel and feasible approach for interfacial passivation of PSCs.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 660:449-457. [PMID: 38244510 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
In mixed Sn-Pb perovskites, the synergistic properties of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb) are leveraged, effectively combining the merits of Pb-based perovskites while simultaneously reducing Pb-associated toxicity. However, the propensity for Sn to undergo facile oxidation from Sn2+ to Sn4+ poses a significant challenge to the stability of these mixed perovskites, limiting their advancement. This study proposes an innovative acetic acid (HAc)-driven synthesis approach to obtain a stable chain-like MAPb0.5Sn0.5Br3 nano-assembly. Leveraging the acidic properties of HAc serves a dual purpose. Primarily, it curtails the oxidation of Sn2+ to Sn4+. Secondly, it orchestrates nanocrystals (NCs) into a more uniform and ordered chain-like assembly, a consequence of hydrogen bonding and coordination interactions facilitated by the HAc. Additionally, HAc demonstrates its capability to passivate MAPb0.5Sn0.5Br3 surface through coordination bonding with unsaturated sites (i.e., Sn2+ or Pb2+), thus effectively compensating for bromide vacancies. Introducing HAc during the synthesis process yields perovskite NCs with enhanced thermal resilience, optical and water stability. Drawing upon the different stimulus responses of synthesized perovskite NCs when exposed to external environment, the optical anti-counterfeiting labels are prepared. The findings provide a potent strategy for augmenting the stability of perovskite NCs, suggesting their potential applicability in anti-counterfeiting endeavors.

Abstract
The understanding of the interfacial properties in perovskite devices under irradiation is crucial for their engineering. In this study we show how the electronic structure of the interface between CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) and Au is affected by irradiation of X-rays, near-infrared (NIR), and ultraviolet (UV) light. The effects of X-ray and light exposure could be differentiated by employing low-dose X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Apart from the common degradation product of metallic lead (Pb0), a new intermediate component (Pbint) was identified in the Pb 4f XPS spectra after exposure to high intensity X-rays or UV light. The Pbint component is determined to be monolayer metallic Pb on-top of the Au substrate from underpotential deposition (UPD) of Pb induced from the breaking of the perovskite structure allowing for migration of Pb2+.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) bear a huge potential for widespread applications, such as color conversion, X-ray scintillators, and active laser media. However, the poor intrinsic stability and high susceptibility to environmental stimuli including moisture and oxygen have become bottlenecks of PNC materials for commercialization. Appropriate barrier material design can efficiently improve the stability of the PNCs. Particularly, the strategy for packaging PNCs in organosilicon matrixes can integrate the advantages of inorganic-oxide-based and polymer-based encapsulation routes. However, the inert long-carbon-chain ligands (e.g., oleic acid, oleylamine) used in the current ligand systems for silicon-based encapsulation are detrimental to the cross-linking of the organosilicon matrix, resulting in performance deficiencies in the nanocrystal films, such as low transparency and large surface roughness. Herein, we propose a dual-organosilicon ligand system consisting of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane with pentanedioic anhydride (APTES-PA), to replace the inert long-carbon-chain ligands for improving the performance of organosilicon-coated PNC films. As a result, strongly fluorescent PNC films prepared by a facile solution-casting method demonstrate high transparency and reduced surface roughness while maintaining high stability in various harsh environments. The optimized PNC films were eventually applied in an X-ray imaging system as scintillators, showing a high spatial resolution above 20 lp/mm. By designing this promising dual organosilicon ligand system for PNC films, our work highlights the crucial influence of the molecular structure of the capping ligands on the optical performance of the PNC film.

Abstract
Finding efficient photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction catalysts is one of the core issues in addressing global climate change. Herein, the pristine CsPbI3 perovskite and doped CsPbI3 perovskite were evaluated in carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) to C1 products by using density functional theory. Free energy testing and electronic structure analysis methods have shown that doped CsPbI3 exhibits more effective catalytic performance, higher selectivity, and stability than undoped CsPbI3. Additionally, it is discovered that CsPbI3 (100) and (110) crystal surfaces have varied product selectivity. The photo-catalytic effectiveness is increased by the narrower band gap of Bi and Sn doped CsPbI3, which broadens the absorption spectrum of visible light and makes electron transport easier. The calculation results indicate that Bi doped CsPbI3 (100) and CsPbI3 (110) crystal faces exhibit good selectivity towards CH4, with free energy barriers as low as 0.55 eV and 0.58 eV, respectively. Sn doped CsPbI3 (100) and CsPbI3 (110) crystal planes exhibit good selectivity for HCOOH and CH3OH, respectively. The results indicate that the Bi and Sn doped CsPbI3 perovskite catalyst can further improve the CO2 photocatalytic activity and high selectivity for C1 products, making it a suitable substrate material for high-performance CO2RR.

Abstract
Conventional ligands for CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), composed of polar, coordinating head groups (e.g., ammonium or zwitterionic) and aliphatic tails, are instrumental in stabilizing the NCs against sintering and aggregation. Nonetheless, the aliphatic (insulating) nature of these ligands represents drawbacks with respect to objectives in optoelectronics, and yet removing these ligands typically leads to a loss of colloidal stability. In this paper, we describe the preparation of CsPbBr3 NCs in the presence of discrete conjugated oligomers that were prepared by an iterative synthetic approach and capped at their chain ends with sulfobetaine zwitterions for perovskite coordination. Notably, these zwitterionic oligofluorenes are compatible with the hot injection and ligand exchange conditions used to prepare CsPbBr3 NCs, yielding stable NC dispersions with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY, >90%) and spectral features representative of both the perovskite core and conjugated ligand shell. Controlling the chain length of these capping ligands effectively regulated inter-NC spacing and packing geometry when cast into solid films, with evidence derived from both transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and grazing incidence X-ray scattering measurements.

Abstract
Colloidal nuclear magnetic resonance (cNMR) spectroscopy on inorganic cesium lead halide nanocrystals (CsPbX3 NCs) is found to serve for noninvasive characterization and quantification of disorder within these structurally soft and labile particles. In particular, we show that 133Cs cNMR is highly responsive to size variations from 3 to 11 nm or to altering the capping ligands on the surfaces of CsPbX3 NCs. Distinct 133Cs signals are attributed to the surface and core NC regions. Increased heterogeneous broadening of 133Cs signals, observed for smaller NCs as well as for long-chain zwitterionic capping ligands (phosphocholines, phosphoethanol(propanol)amine, and sulfobetaines), can be attributed to more significant surface disorder and multifaceted surfaces (truncated cubes). On the contrary, capping with dimethyldidodecylammonium bromide (DDAB) successfully reduces signal broadening owing to better surface passivation and sharper (001)-bound cuboid shape. DFT calculations on various sizes of NCs corroborate the notion that the surface disorder propagates over several octahedral layers. 133Cs NMR is a sensitive probe for studying halide gradients in mixed Br/Cl NCs, indicating bromide-rich surfaces and chloride-rich cores. On the contrary, mixed Br/I NCs exhibit homogeneous halide distributions.

Abstract
Luminescence quenching by hole transport layers (HTLs) is one of the major issues in developing efficient perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), which is particularly prominent in blue-emitting devices. While a variety of material systems have been used as interfacial layers, the origin of such quenching and the type of interactions between perovskites and HTLs are still ambiguous. Here, we present a systematic investigation of the luminescence quenching of CsPbBr3 by a commonly employed hole transport polymer, poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7diyl)-co-(4,4'-(N-(4-sec-butylphenyl) diphenylamine)] (TFB), in LEDs. Strong and weak quantum-confined CsPbBr3 (nanoplatelets (NPLs)/nanocrystals (NCs)) are rationally selected to study the quenching mechanism by considering the differences in their morphology, energy level alignments, and quantum confinement. The steady-state and time-resolved Stern-Volmer plots unravel the dominance of dynamic and static quenching at lower and higher concentrations of TFB, respectively, with a maximum quenching efficiency of 98%. The quenching rate in NCs is faster than that in NPLs owing to their longer PL lifetimes and weak quantum confinement. The ultrafast transient absorption results support these dynamics and rule out the involvement of Forster or Dexter energy transfer. Finally, the 1D 1H and 2D nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance (NOESY NMR) study confirms the exchange of native ligands at the NCs surface with TFB, leading to dark CsPbBr3-TFB ensemble formation accountable for luminescence quenching. This highlights the critical role of the triarylamine functional group on TFB (also the backbone of many HTLs) in the quenching process. These results shed light on the underlying reasons for the luminescence quenching in PeLEDs and will help to rationally choose the interfacial layers for developing efficient LEDs.

Abstract
The vulnerability of mixed halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) remains challenging because of the weak interaction between commonly employed ligands, oleic acid/oleylamine (OAm/OA) and halide anions, coupled with substantial surface phonon energy. Here, we introduce 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a capping ligand to modify CsPbBrI2 NCs to enhance the interactions between them. The optical properties have been significantly enhanced, and halide segregation has been suppressed, both of which can be attributed to the reduced phonon energy and exciton-phonon coupling strength. Moreover, these APTES-CsPbBrI2 NCs exhibit a broad color gamut and sustained color stability during long-term operation, indicating their promising potential in display technologies. This work may offer insights into surface engineering to enhance the properties and band stability of mixed halide perovskite NCs.

Abstract
Cesium lead halide nanostructures have highly tunable optical and optoelectronic properties. Establishing precise control in forming perovskite single-crystal nanostructures is key to unlocking the full potential of these materials. However, studying the growth kinetics of colloidal cesium lead halides is challenging due to their sensitivity to light, electron beam, and environmental factors like humidity. In this study, in situ observations of CsPbBr3-particle dynamics were made possible through extremely low dose liquid cell transmission electron microscopy, showing that oriented attachment is the dominant pathway for the growth of single-crystal CsPbBr3 architectures from primary nanocubes. In addition, oriented assembly and fusion of ligand-stabilized cubic CsPbBr3 nanocrystals are promoted by electron beam irradiation or introduction of polar additives that both induce partial desorption of the original ligands and polarize the nanocube surfaces. These findings advance our understanding of cesium lead halide growth mechanisms, aiding the controlled synthesis of other perovskite nanostructures.

Abstract
High-performance pure red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) with an emission wavelength shorter than 650 nm are ideal for wide-color-gamut displays, yet remain an unprecedented challenge to progress. Mixed-halide CsPb(Br/I)3 emitter-based PeLEDs suffer spectral stability induced by halide phase segregation and CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs) suffer from a compromise between emission wavelength and electroluminescence efficiency. Here, we demonstrate efficient pure red PeLEDs with an emission centered at 638 nm based on PbClx -modified CsPbI3 QDs. A nucleophilic reaction that releases chloride ions and manipulates the ligand equilibrium of the colloidal system is developed to synthesize the pure red emission QDs. The comprehensive structural and spectroscopic characterizations evidence the formation of PbClx outside the CsPbI3 QDs, which regulates exciton recombination and prevents the exciton from dissociation induced by surface defects. In consequence, PeLEDs based on PbClx -modified CsPbI3 QDs with superior optoelectronic properties demonstrate stable electroluminescence spectra at high driving voltages, a record external quantum efficiency of 26.1 %, optimal efficiency roll-off of 16.0 % at 1000 cd m-2 , and a half lifetime of 7.5 hours at 100 cd m-2 , representing the state-of-the-art pure red PeLEDs. This work provides new insight into constructing the carrier-confined structure on perovskite QDs for high-performance PeLEDs.

Abstract
Understanding and directing the energy transfer in nanocrystals-chromophore heterostructure is critical to improve the efficiency of their photocatalytic and optoelectronic applications. In this work, we studied the energy transfer process between inorganic-organic molecular complexes composed of cesium halide perovskite nanoplatelets (CsPbBr3 NPLs) and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) by photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), time-correlated single photon-counting (TCSPC) and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The quenching of PL in CsPbBr3 NPLs occurred simultaneously with the PL enhancement of BODIPY implied the singlet energy transfer process. The rate of energy transfer has been determined by transient absorption spectrum as kET = 3.8 × 109 s-1. The efficiency of Förster energy transfer (FRET) has been quantitatively calculated up to 70%. Our work advances the understanding of the interaction between BODIPY and perovskite nanoplatelets, providing a new solution based on their optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Recently, metal-halide perovskites have rapidly emerged as efficient light emitters with near-unity quantum yield and size-dependent optical and electronic properties, which have attracted considerable attention from researchers. However, the ultrafast nucleation rate of ionic perovskite counterparts severely limits the in-depth exploration of the growth mechanism of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs). Herein, we used an inorganic ligand nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) to trigger a slow post-synthesis transformation process, converting non-luminescent Cs4PbBr6 NCs into bright green luminescent CsPbBr3 NCs to elucidate the concrete transformation mechanism via four stages: (i) the dissociation of pristine NCs, (ii) the formation of Pb-Br intermediates, (iii) low-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs) and (iv) cubic CsPbBr3 NCs, corresponding to the blue-to-green emission process. The desorption and reorganization of organic ligands induced by NO+ and the involvement of BF4- in the ligand exchange process played pivotal roles in this dissolution-recrystallization of NCs. Moreover, controlled shape evolution from anisotropic NPLs to NCs was investigated through variations in the amount of NOBF4. This further validates that additives exert a decisive role in the symmetry and growth of nanostructured perovskite crystals during phase transition based on the ligand-exchange mechanism. This finding serves as a source of inspiration for the synthesis of highly luminescent CsPbBr3 NCs, providing valuable insights into the chemical mechanism in post-synthesis transformation.

Abstract
Halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), specifically CsPbBr3, have attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable optical properties for optoelectronic devices. To achieve high-efficiency light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs), it is crucial to optimize both their photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and carrier transport properties when they are deposited to form films on substrates. While the exchange of native ligands with didodecyl dimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) ligand pairs has been successful in boosting their PLQY, dense DDAB coverage on the surface of NCs should impede carrier transport and limit device efficiency. Following our previous work, here, we use oleyl phosphonic acid (OLPA) as a selective stripping agent to remove a fraction of DDAB from the NC surface and demonstrate that such stripping enhances carrier transport while maintaining a high PLQY. Through systematic optimization of OLPA dosage, we significantly improve the performance of CsPbBr3 LEDs, achieving a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 15.1% at 516 nm and a maximum brightness of 5931 cd m-2. These findings underscore the potential of controlled ligand stripping to enhance the performance of CsPbBr3 NC-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Multidimensional ABX3 hybrid perovskites three-dimensionally confined dot-shaped structure demonstrate versatile potential to photoelectrochemical cells for water splitting, hydrogen generation, solar cells, and light-emitting diodes. To apply perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to solar-driven chemistry and optoelectronic devices, understanding the photoinduced charge carrier dynamics of PQDs under electrochemical conditions or applied bias are important. In this study, the detailed transformation mechanism of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite quantum dots under electrochemical conditions was studied by tracking the products of the reaction through cyclic voltammetry, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, in-situ UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry, etc. Through comprehensive characterizations, the mechanism of irreversible oxidative transformation of perovskite quantum dots was presented. This study provides deeper insight into the electrochemical behavior of PQDs for successful solar-driven chemistry and optoelectronic device applications.
