Abstract
As emerging gain materials, lead halide perovskites have drawn considerable attention in coherent light sources. With the development of patterning and integration techniques, a perovskite laser array has been realized by distributing perovskite microcrystals periodically. Nevertheless, the packing density is limited by the crystal size and the channel gap distance. More importantly, the lasing performance for individual laser units is quite random due to variation of size and crystal quality. Herein an ultracompact perovskite nanoemitter array with uniform emission has been demonstrated. Individual emitters are formed via scattering evanescent components from a shared Fabry-Perot laser, ensuring uniform lasing emission in a unit cell with a side length of 160 nm and lattice constant of 400 nm. And the periodic silicon scatterers do not deteriorate the lasing threshold dramatically. In addition, the surface emitting efficiency increased significantly. The direct integration of a densely packed nanoemitter array with a silicon platform promises high-throughput sensing and high-capacity optical interconnects.

Abstract
The utilization of perovskite materials in flexible optoelectronics is experiencing distinct diversification including X-ray detection applications. Here, we report the oriented alignment of cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) single-crystal arrays on flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates. By precisely confining the crystallization process within spatially delimited precursor droplets, we achieve a well-oriented crystal alignment through the spontaneous rotation of the CsPbBr3 microcuboids. This approach allows for precise control over the microcuboid morphologies by varying the growth temperature. We design flexible X-ray detector arrays by seamlessly integrating CsPbBr3 microcuboids with electrode arrays. The flexible X-ray detector can output a high sensitivity of 1.97 × 105 μC·Gyair-1·cm-2 and a low detection limit of 89 nGyair·s-1 after the surface passivation process. The excellent mechanical properties, outstanding X-ray detection capabilities, and high pixel uniformity are also demonstrated in conformal X-ray imaging of curved surfaces.

Abstract
All inorganic lead halide perovskites exhibit fascinating optical and optoelectronic characteristics for on-chip lasing, but the lack of precise control of wafer-scale fabrication for perovskite microstructure arrays restricts their potential applications in on-chip-integrated devices. In this work, a microstructure-template assisted crystallization method is demonstrated via a designed chemical vapor deposition process, achieving the controllable fabrication of homogeneous perovskite micro-hemispheroid (PeMH) arrays spanning the entire surface area of a 4-inch wafer. Benefiting from the low-loss whispering gallery resonance and plasmon-enhanced light-matter interactions in well-confined hybrid cavities, this CsPbX3/Ag (X = Cl, Br) plasmonic microlasers exhibit quite low thresholds below 10 µJ cm-2. Interestingly, these thresholds can be efficiently modulated through the manipulation of plasmonic resonance and electromagnetic field mode in PeMHs owning various diameters. This strategy not only provides a valuable methodology for the large-scale fabrication of perovskite microstructures but also endorses the potential of all-inorganic perovskite nanostructures as promising candidates for on-chip-integrated light sources.

Abstract
Patterned arrays of perovskite single crystals can avoid signal cross-talk in optoelectronic devices, while precise crystal distribution plays a crucial role in enhancing device performance and uniformity, optimizing photoelectric characteristics, and improving optical management. Here, we report a strategy of droplet-assisted self-alignment to precisely assemble the perovskite single-crystal arrays (PSCAs). High-quality single-crystal arrays of hybrid methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) and methylammonium lead chloride (MAPbCl3), and cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) can be precipitated under a formic acid vapor environment. The crystals floated within the suspended droplets undergo movement and rotation for precise alignment. The strategy allows us to deposit PSCAs with a pixel size range from 200 to 500 micrometers on diverse substrates, including indium tin oxide, glass, quartz, and poly(dimethylsiloxane), and the area can reach up to 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters. The PSCAs exhibit excellent photodetector performance with a large responsivity of 24 amperes per watt.

Abstract
Solution-based methods for fabricating all-inorganic perovskite film arrays often suffer from limited control over nucleation and crystallization, resulting in poor homogeneity and coverage. To improve film quality, advanced vapor deposition techniques are employed for continuous film. Here, the vapor deposition strategy to the all-inorganic perovskite films array, enabling area-selective deposition of perovskite through substrate modulation is expanded. It can yield a high-quality perovskite film array with different pixel shapes, various perovskite compositions, and a high resolution of 423 dpi. The resulting photodetector arrays exhibit remarkable optoelectronic performance with an on/off ratio of 13 887 and responsivity of 47.5 A W-1. The device also displays long-term stability in a damp condition for up to 12 h. Moreover, a pulse monitoring sensor based on the perovskite films array demonstrates stable monitoring for pulse signals after being worn for 12 h and with a low illumination of 0.055 mW cm-2, highlighting the potential application in wearable optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising light-emitting materials for next-generation displays owing to their remarkable material characteristics including broad color tunability, pure color emission with remarkably narrow bandwidths, high quantum yield, and solution processability. Despite recent advances have pushed the luminance efficiency of monochromic perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) to their theoretical limits, their current fabrication using the spin-coating process poses limitations for fabrication of full-color displays. To integrate PeLEDs into full-color display panels, it is crucial to pattern red-green-blue (RGB) perovskite pixels, while mitigating issues such as cross-contamination and reductions in luminous efficiency. Herein, we present state-of-the-art patterning technologies for the development of full-color PeLEDs. First, we highlight recent advances in the development of efficient PeLEDs. Second, we discuss various patterning techniques of MPHs (i.e., photolithography, inkjet printing, electron beam lithography and laser-assisted lithography, electrohydrodynamic jet printing, thermal evaporation, and transfer printing) for fabrication of RGB pixelated displays. These patterning techniques can be classified into two distinct approaches: in situ crystallization patterning using perovskite precursors and patterning of colloidal perovskite nanocrystals. This review highlights advancements and limitations in patterning techniques for PeLEDs, paving the way for integrating PeLEDs into full-color panels.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are promising color conversion materials for efficient full-color micro light-emitting diode (micro-LED) displays owing to their high color purity and wide color gamut. However, achieving high-resolution QD patterns with enough thickness for efficient color conversion is challenging. Here, we demonstrate a facile and compatible approach by combining replicate molding, plasma etching and transfer printing to produce QD patterns with a sufficient thickness over ten micrometers in a wide range of resolutions. Our technique can remarkably simplify the preparation of QD inks and minimize optical damage to QD materials. The pixel resolution and thickness of QD patterns can be controlled by well-defining the microstructures of the molding template and the etching process. The transfer printing process allows QD patterns to be assembled sequentially onto a receiving substrate, which will further improve the original pixel resolution and avoid repetitive optical damage to QDs during the patterning process. Consequently, various QD patterns can be fabricated in this work, including perovskite quantum dot (PQD) patterns with a pixel resolution of up to 669 pixels per inch (ppi) and a maximum thickness of up to 19.74 μm, a wafer-scale high-resolution PQD pattern with sufficient thickness on a flexible substrate, and a dual-color pattern comprising green PQDs and red CdSe QDs. Furthermore, these fabricated QD films with a thickness of over 10 μm show improved color conversion when integrated onto a blue micro-LED, revealing the potential of our technique for full-color micro-LED displays.

Abstract
Information encryption strategies have become increasingly essential. Most of the fluorescent security patterns have been made with a lateral configuration of red, green, and blue subpixels, limiting the pixel density and security level. Here we report vertically stacked, luminescent heterojunction micropixels that construct high-resolution, multiplexed anticounterfeiting labels. This is enabled by meniscus-guided three-dimensional (3D) microprinting of red, green, and blue (RGB) dye-doped materials. High-precision vertical stacking of subpixel segments achieves full-color pixels without sacrificing lateral resolution, achieving a small pixel size of ∼μm and a high density of over 13,000 pixels per inch. Furthermore, a full-scale color synthesis for individual pixels is developed by modulating the lengths of the RGB subpixels. Taking advantage of these unique 3D structural designs, trichannel multiplexed anticounterfeiting Quick Response codes are successfully demonstrated. We expect that this work will advance data encryption technology while also providing a versatile manufacturing platform for diverse 3D display devices.

Abstract
Perovskite materials are promising candidates for the implementation of electrically pumped lasers considering the enhanced performance of perovskite-based light-emitting diodes. Nonetheless, current methods of fabricating perovskite optical microcavities require complex patterning technologies to build suitable resonant cavities for perovskite laser emission, burdening the device structure design. To address this issue, we applied inkjet printing, a maskless patterning technique, to directly create spontaneous formations of polycrystalline perovskite microcavity arrays to explore their laser-emitting action. The substrate surface tension was tuned to modulate the perovskite crystallization process in combination with optimization of printing ink recipes. As a result, polycrystalline perovskite microcavity arrays were achieved, contributing to the laser emission at 528 nm with a lasing threshold of 1.37 mJ/cm2, while simultaneously achieving high-definition patterning of flexible display. These results clearly illustrate the efficiency of inkjet printing technology in the preparation of polycrystalline perovskite optical microcavities and promote the development of flexible laser arrayed displays, providing a facile process toward the realization of perovskite-cavity laser devices.

Abstract
In recent years, metal halide perovskites have received significant attention as materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties. The unprecedented rapid evolution in the device performance has been achieved by gaining an advanced understanding of the composition, crystal growth, and defect engineering of perovskites. As device performances approach their theoretical limits, effective optical management becomes essential for achieving higher efficiency. In this review, we discuss the status and perspectives of nano to micron-scale patterning methods for the optical management of perovskite optoelectronic devices. We initially discuss the importance of effective light harvesting and light outcoupling via optical management. Subsequently, the recent progress in various patterning/texturing techniques applied to perovskite optoelectronic devices is summarized by categorizing them into top-down and bottom-up methods. Finally, we discuss the perspectives of advanced patterning/texturing technologies for the development and commercialization of perovskite optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The well aligned and precise patterning of liquid crystals (LCs) are considered as two key challenges for large-scale and high-efficiency integrated optoelectronic devices. However, owing to the uncontrollable liquid flow and dewetting process in the conventional techniques, most of the reported research is mainly focused on simple sematic LCs, which are composed of terthiophenes or benzothieno[3, 2-b][1] benzothiophene backbone; only a few works are carried out on the complicated LCs. Herein, an efficient strategy was introduced to control the liquid flow and alignment of LCs and realized precise and high-quality patterning of A-π-D-π-A BTR, based on the asymmetric wettability interface. Through this strategy, the large-area and well-aligned BTR microwires array was fabricated, which exhibited highly ordered molecular packing and improved charge transport performance. Furthermore, the integration of BTR and PC71BM was achieved to manufacture uniform P-N heterojunction arrays, which still possessed highly ordered alignment of BTR. On the basis of these aligned heterojunction arrays, the high-performance photodetector exhibited an excellent responsivity of 27.56 A W-1 and a specific detectivity of 2.07 × 1012 Jones. This research not only provides an efficient strategy for the fabrication of aligned micropatterns of LCs but also gives a novel insight for the fabrication of high-quality micropatterns of the P-N heterojunction toward integrated optoelectronics.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites are emerging materials for integrated photonics. Here we report a quasi-CW pumped ultra-low ASE/lasing threshold formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3) laser. The laser achieved stable lasing at 555 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.6 nm, showing a low lasing threshold of 22.6μJ cm-2under 3.5 nanosecond quasi-CW excitation at room temperature. The material also showed an ultra-low ASE threshold of 46μJ cm-2under the same pumping condition. Through polymer doping, we showed that the material's performance can be improved by increasing bimolecular recombination rate with reduced grain size.

Abstract
Miniaturized spectrometers have attracted much attention due to their capability to detect spectral information within a small size. However, such technology still faces challenges including large-scale preparation and performance repeatability. In this work, we overcome these challenges by demonstrating a microspectrometer constructed with a series of pixelized graded-bandgap perovskite photodetectors fabricated with inkjet printing. High-quality perovskite films with minimal pinholes and large grains are deposited by optimizing printing conditions including substrate temperature and surface modification. The resulting perovskite photodetectors show decent photosensing performance, and the different photodetectors based on perovskite films with different bandgaps exhibit various spectral responsivities with different cutoff wavelength edges. Microspectrometers are then constructed with the array of the pixelized graded-bandgap perovskite photodetectors, and incident spectra are algorithmically reconstructed by combining their output currents. The reconstruction performance of the miniaturized spectrometer is evaluated by comparing the results to the spectral curve measured with a commercial bulky spectrometer, indicating a reliable spectral reconstruction with a resolution of around 10 nm. More significantly, the miniaturized spectrometers are successfully fabricated on polymer substrates, and they demonstrate excellent mechanical flexibility. Therefore, this work provides a flexible miniaturized spectrometer with large-scale fabricability, which is promising for emerging applications including wearable devices, hyperspectral imaging, and internet of things.

Abstract
Photoresponsive fluorochromic materials are regarded as an effective means for information storage. Their reversible changes of color and fluorescence facilitate the storage process and increase the possible storage capacity. Here, we propose an optically reconfigurable Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process to realize tunable emissions based on photochromic spiropyrans and common fluorophores. The kinetics of the photoisomerization of the spiropyran and the FRET process of the composite were systematically investigated. Through tuning the ratios of the acceptor spiropyran and donor fluorophore and external light stimuli, a programmable FRET process was developed to obtain tunable outputs. More importantly, flexible microarrays were fabricated from such fluorochromic mixtures by inkjet printing (230 ppi) and the dynamic FRET process could also be applied to generate tunable fluorescence in ready-made microstructures. The flexible patterns created using the microarrays could be used as novel optically readable media for information storage by altering the composition and optical performance of every feature within the microarray. A key aspect of information storage such is anti-counterfeiting, and these colorful displays can be fabricated and integrated in a simple and straightforward system. The reliable fabrication and programmable optical performances of these large-scale flexible polymer microarrays represent a substantial step toward high-density and high-security information storage platforms.

Abstract
Solution-processed metal halide perovskite (MHP) single crystals (SCs) are in high demand for a growing number of printed electronic applications due to their superior optoelectronic properties compared to polycrystalline thin films. There is an urgent need to make SC fabrication facile, scalable, and compatible with the printed electronic manufacturing infrastructure. Here, a universal cosolvent evaporation (CSE) strategy is presented by which perovskite SCs and arrays are produced directly on substrates via printing and coating methods within minutes at room temperature from drying droplets. The CSE strategy successfully guides the supersaturation via controlled drying of droplets to suppress all crystallization pathways but one, and is shown to produce SCs of a wide variety of 3D, 2D, and mixed-cation/halide perovskites with consistency. This approach works with commonly used precursors and solvents, making it universal. Importantly, the SC consumes the precursor in the droplet, which enables the large-scale fabrication of SC arrays with minimal residue. Direct on-chip fabrication of 3D and 2D perovskite photodetector devices with outstanding performance is demonstrated. The approach shows that any MHP SC can now be manufactured on substrates using precision printing and scalable, high-throughput coating methods.

Abstract
In the past decade, perovskite materials have gained intensive interest due to their remarkable material properties in optoelectronics and photodetectors. This review highlights recent advances in micro-to-nanometer scale patterning of perovskite inks, placing an undue emphasis on recently developed approaches to harness spatially ordered and crystallographically oriented structures with unprecedented regularity via controlled self-assemblies, including blade coating, inkjet printing, and nanoimprinting. Patterning of the perovskite elements at the micro- or nanometer scale might be a key parameter for their integration in a real system. Nowadays, unconventional approaches based on irreversible solution evaporation hold an important position in the structuring and integration of perovskite materials. Herein, easier type patterning techniques based on evaporations of polymer solutions and the coffee ring effect are systematically reviewed. The recent progress in the potential applications of the patterned perovskite inks is also introduced.

Abstract
Paper is ubiquitous in the daily life and has been widely used for writing and drawing because of their low-cost, widely accessible, and degradable properties. However, simple ways to fabricate paper-based optoelectronic devices remain a great challenge. In this work, we report a facile method to fabricate high-quality perovskite films and optoelectronic devices on paper by direct pen-writing. Through introducing seed layers on papers, planar-integrated single-crystal perovskite films are easily prepared using commercial pens. Based on such a simple and convenient method, perovskite photodetector arrays and image sensors with graphite electrodes are fabricated on paper, and show satisfactory performances. This method provides a simple and effective approach for preparation of paper-based perovskite devices. It will be of significance for the development of degradable optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The field of plasmonics explores the interaction between light and metallic micro/nanostructures and films. The collective oscillation of free electrons on metallic surfaces enables subwavelength optical confinement and enhanced light-matter interactions. In optoelectronics, perovskite materials are particularly attractive due to their excellent absorption, emission, and carrier transport properties, which lead to the improved performance of solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, photodetectors, and sensors. When perovskite materials are coupled with plasmonic structures, the device performance significantly improves owing to strong near-field and far-field optical enhancements, as well as the plasmoelectric effect. Here, we review recent theoretical and experimental works on plasmonic perovskite solar cells, light emitters, and sensors. The underlying physical mechanisms, design routes, device performances, and optimization strategies are summarized. This review also lays out challenges and future directions for the plasmonic perovskite research field toward next-generation optoelectronic technologies.

Abstract
The patterned metal halide perovskites exhibit novel photophysical properties and high performance in photonic applications. Here, we show that a UV continuous wave laser can induce in situ crystallization of individual and patterned CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) inside the CsPb2Br5 microplatelets. The microplatelet acts as a natural Fabry-Perot cavity and causes the high-Purcell-effect-enhanced (by 287 times) cavity mode spontaneous emission of the embedded CsPbBr3 QDs. The luminescence exhibits a superlinear emission intensity-excitation intensity relation I(p) ∝ p2.83, and the exponent is much bigger than that of the free-space exciton spontaneous emission, suggesting arising of stimulated emission at higher photon concentrations. These laser-driven crystallized and patterned cavity mode luminescent perovskite QDs in a waterproof wider-bandgap perovskite microcavity act as an ideal platform for studying the cavity quantum electrodynamics phenomena and for applications in information storage and encryption, anticounterfeiting, and low-threshold lasers.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite solar cells have been gaining more and more interest. In only a decade, huge research efforts from interdisciplinary communities enabled enormous scientific advances that rapidly led to energy conversion efficiency near that of record silicon solar cells, at an unprecedented pace. However, while for most materials the best solar cells were achieved with single crystals (SC), for perovskite the best cells have been so far achieved with polycrystalline (PC) thin films, despite the optoelectronic properties of perovskite SC are undoubtedly superior. Here, by taking as example monocrystalline methylammonium lead halide, the authors elaborate the literature from material synthesis and characterization to device fabrication and testing, to provide with plausible explanations for the relatively low efficiency, despite the superior optoelectronics performance. In particular, the authors focus on how solar cell performance is affected by anisotropy, crystal orientation, surface termination, interfaces, and device architecture. It is argued that, to unleash the full potential of monocrystalline perovskite, a holistic approach is needed in the design of next-generation device architecture. This would unquestionably lead to power conversion efficiency higher than those of PC perovskites and silicon solar cells, with tremendous impact on the swift deployment of renewable energy on a large scale.

Abstract
Tunable assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is important for a variety of emerging applications in optics, sensing, and security. Most exploited assembly and optical property of CNCs are cholesteric assembly and corresponding circular dichroism. However, it still remains challenge to obtain homogenous and high-resolution cholesteric assembly. Distinct assembly and optical property of CNCs are highly demanded for advanced photonic materials with novel functions. Herein, a facile and programmable approach for assembling CNCs into a novel concentric alignment using capillary flow and Marangoni effect, which is in strike contrast to conventional cholesteric assembly, is demonstrated. The concentric assembly, as quantitatively evidenced by polarized synchrotron radiation Fourier transform infrared imaging, demonstrates Maltese cross optical pattern with good uniformity and high resolution. Furthermore, this Maltese cross can be readily regulated to "on/off" states by temperature. By combining with 3D inkjet technology, a functional binary system composed of "on"/"off" CNCs optical patterns with high spatial resolution, fast printing speed, good repeatability, and precisely controllable optical property is established for information encryption and decryption. This concentric assembly of CNCs and corresponding tunable optical property emerge as a promising candidate for information security, anticounterfeiting technology, and advanced optics.

However, there are still many challenges and drawbacks that need to be overcome in order to achieve the controllable modulation between smart materials and device performance. In this review, we give an overview on printable smart materials, printing strategies, and applications of printed functional devices. In addition, the advantages in actual practices of printing smart materials-based devices are discussed, and the current limitations and future opportunities are proposed. This review aims to summarize the recent progress and provide reference for novel smart materials and printing strategies as well as applications of intelligent devices.

Abstract
Oriented semiconductor nanostructures and thin films exhibit many advantageous properties, such as directional exciton transport, efficient charge transfer and separation, and optical anisotropy, and hence these nanostructures are highly promising for use in optoelectronics and photonics. The controlled growth of these structures can facilitate device integration to improve optoelectronic performance and benefit in-depth fundamental studies of the physical properties of these materials. Halide perovskites have emerged as a new family of promising and cost-effective semiconductor materials for next-generation high-power conversion efficiency photovoltaics and for versatile high-performance optoelectronics, such as light-emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, and high-energy radiation imaging and detectors. In this Review, we summarize the advances in the fabrication of halide perovskite nanostructures and thin films with controlled dimensionality and crystallographic orientation, along with their applications and performance characteristics in optoelectronics. We examine the growth methods, mechanisms, and fabrication strategies for several technologically relevant structures, including nanowires, nanoplates, nanostructure arrays, single-crystal thin films, and highly oriented thin films. We highlight and discuss the advantageous photophysical properties and remarkable performance characteristics of oriented nanostructures and thin films for optoelectronics. Finally, we survey the remaining challenges and provide a perspective regarding the opportunities for further progress in this field.

Abstract
Optoelectronic applications of organic semiconductors demand single-crystalline structures with long-range order and suppressed defects for sustaining efficient carrier transport and long photocarrier lifetime, which are pivotal in photodetection, photovoltaic, and light emission. For integrated devices, an additional requirement of precise patterning is imposed, whereas the patterning of single-crystalline organic microstructures is still challenging because the molecular stacking is easily perturbed by disordered fluids in microdroplets. Herein, a capillary-bridge lithography is developed for driving the directional transport of capillary flows to control the confined crystallization of organic 1D single-crystalline arrays with aligned positioning and pure orientation. Through tuning the concentration and pressure, the size of organic 1D arrays in three dimensions can be controlled with 2.9-5.8 µm in width and 1.2 µm to 110 nm in height. Organic 1D array photodetectors exhibit a stable performance with on/off ratio of 180 and responsivity of 4.99 mA W-1 . Based on the scalable fabrication of 1D array photodetectors, 20 × 20 multiplexed image sensors with high accuracy are demonstrated for capturing the light signals of capital letter "A," "B," and "C." This research will open opportunities for the large-scale fabrication of organic single-crystalline semiconductors toward the integrated optoelectronic modules.

Abstract
Optofluidic biolasers have emerged as promising tools for biomedical analysis due to their strong light-matter interactions and miniaturized size. Recent developments in optofluidic lasers have opened a new Frontier in monitoring biological processes. However, most biolasers require precise recording of the lasing spectrum at the single cavity level, which limits its application in high-throughput applications. Herein, a microdroplet laser array encapsulated with living Escherichia coli was printed on highly reflective mirrors, where laser emission images were employed to reflect the dynamic changes in living organisms. The concept of image-based lasing analysis was proposed by quantifying the integrated pixel intensity of the lasing image from whispering-gallery modes. Finally, dynamic interactions between E. coli and antibiotic drugs were compared under fluorescence and laser emission images. The amplification that occurred during laser generation enabled the quantification of tiny biological changes in the gain medium. Laser imaging presented a significant increase in integrated pixel intensity by 2 orders of magnitude. Our findings demonstrate that image-based lasing analysis is more sensitive to dynamic changes than fluorescence analysis, paving the way for high-throughput on-chip laser analysis of living organisms.

Abstract
Inkjet-printed perovskite quantum dot (PQD) color conversion films (CCFs) have great potentials for mini/micro-LED displays because of their ultrahigh color purity, tunable emissions, high efficiency, and high-resolution. However, current PQD inks mainly use expensive, toxic, and flammable organic substances as solvents. In this work, water is proposed to be used as the solvent for inkjet printing PQD/polymer CCFs. The green-emitting patterned MAPbBr3 /polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films are in situ prepared by using halides and the PVA-based aqueous ink. The as-printed CCFs exhibit a high-resolution dot matrix of 90 µm with a bright green emission (λem = 526 nm), a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 85%, and a narrow full width at half maximum of 22 nm. They have both air- and photo-stabilities under ambient conditions, and each pixel of CCFs is relatively uniform in morphology and fluorescence when the substrate temperature is 80 °C. The patterned blue-emitting MAPbClx Br3-x /PVA and red-emitting Cs0.3 MA0.7 PbBrx I3-x /PVA can also be printed by aqueous inks. These results indicate that the designed aqueous inks are promising for in situ inkjet printing high resolution and reliability PQD CCFs for mini/micro-LED displays.

Abstract
In the past decade, lead halide perovskites have been intensively explored due to their promising future in photovoltaics. Owing to their remarkable material properties such as solution processability, nice defect tolerance, broad bandgap tunability, high quantum yields, large refractive index, and strong nonlinear effects, this family of materials has also shown advantages in many other optoelectronic devices including microlasers, photodetectors, waveguides, and metasurfaces. Very recently, the stability of perovskite devices has been improved with the optimization of synthesis methods and device architectures. It is widely accepted that it is the time to integrate all the perovskite devices into a real system. However, for integrated photonic circuits, the shapes and distributions of chemically synthesized perovskites are quite random and not suitable for integration. Consequently, controlled synthesis and the top-down fabrication process are highly desirable to break the barriers. Herein, the developments of patterning and integration techniques for halide perovskites, as well as the structure/function relationships, are systematically reviewed. The recent progress in the study of optical responses originating from nanostructured perovskites is also presented. Lastly, the challenges and perspective for nanostructured-perovskite devices are discussed.

Abstract
Anticounterfeiting techniques based on physical unclonable functions exhibit great potential in security protection of extensive commodities from daily necessities to high-end products. Herein, we propose a facile strategy to fabricate an unclonable super micro fingerprint (SMFP) array by introducing in situ grown perovskite crystals for multilevel anticounterfeiting labels. The unclonable features are formed on the basis of the differential transportation of a microscale perovskite precursor droplet during the inkjet printing process, coupled with random crystallization and Ostwald ripening of perovskite crystals originating from their ion crystal property. Furthermore, the unclonable patterns can be readily tailored by tuning in situ crystallization conditions of the perovskite. Three-dimensional height information on the perovskite patterns are introduced into a security label and further transformed into structural color, significantly enhancing the capacity of anticounterfeiting labels. The SMFPs are characterized with tunable multilevel anticounterfeiting properties, including macroscale patterns, microscale unclonable pattern, fluorescent two-dimensional pattens, and colorful three-dimensional information.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have exceptional optoelectronic properties, but a poor understanding of the relationship between crystal dimensions, composition, and properties limits their use in integrated devices. We report a new multiplexed cantilever-free scanning probe method for synthesizing compositionally diverse and size-controlled halide perovskite nanocrystals spanning square centimeter areas. Single-particle photoluminescence studies reveal multiple independent emission modes due to defect-defined band edges with relative intensities that depend on crystal size at a fixed composition. Smaller particles, but ones with dimensions that exceed the quantum confinement regime, exhibit blue-shifted emission due to reabsorption of higher-energy modes. Six different halide perovskites have been synthesized, including a layered Ruddlesden-Popper phase, and the method has been used to prepare functional solar cells based on single nanocrystals. The ability to pattern arrays of multicolor light-emitting nanocrystals opens avenues toward the development of optoelectronic devices, including optical displays.

Abstract
Microreactors are of great importance for chemical reaction screening, nanoparticle synthesis, protein crystallization, DNA detection, organic synthesis, etc. Here, we reported an effective, flexible, and low-cost method for fabricating microreactor arrays by inkjet printing technology. This strategy utilizes the controllable sliding behavior of the three-phase contact line to form hydrophilic-hydrophobic micropatterns for microreactors with sizes low to several hundreds of nanometers. Reactions in the order of 1 × 10-21 mol molecules can be realized in these microreactors, and crystallization processes can also be conducted to synthesize single crystals.

Abstract
Micro light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) have been considered an excellent candidate for next-generation display technology because of their promising optical properties, outstanding power efficiency, fast response time, high reliability, etc. However, the μLED displays based on individual red-green-blue (RGB) primary chips suffer from severe issues in mass production, such as difficulty in mass transfer, high cost, and low reproducibility. To overcome these issues, an alternative approach has been proposed to achieve full-color μLEDs by assembling ultraviolet- or blue-μLEDs with QD color conversion films (CCFs). In this Perspective, we give a general introduction of QD-based μLEDs and provide an overview of the preparation of fine patterned QD CCFs by inkjet printing. We then discuss advances in II-VI core/shell QD-based μLEDs. This is followed by representative progress on preliminary exploration of lead halide perovskite QD CCFs, which have great potential for use in high-resolution and full-color μLEDs displays. Finally, we address the remaining challenges for further improvement of QD-based μLEDs.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing thin film halide perovskites (HPs) for use in high-performance photoelectronic devices, including solar cells, displays, and photodetectors. Furthermore, structured HPs with periodic micro- or nanopatterns have recently attracted significant interest due to their potential to not only improve the efficiency of an individual device via the controlled arrangement of HP crystals into a confined geometry, but also to technologically pixelate the device into arrays suitable for future commercialization. However, micro- or nanopatterning of HPs is not usually compatible with conventional photolithography, which is detrimental to ionic HPs and requires special techniques. Herein, a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art technologies used to develop micro- and nanometer-scale HP patterns, with an emphasis on their controlled microstructures based on top-down and bottom-up approaches, and their potential for future applications, is provided. Top-down approaches include modified conventional lithographic techniques and soft-lithographic methods, while bottom-up approaches include template-assisted patterning of HPs based on lithographically defined prepatterns and self-assembly. HP patterning is shown here to not only improve device performance, but also to reveal the unprecedented functionality of HPs, leading to new research areas that utilize their novel photophysical properties.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites are emerging as attractive materials for light-emitting diode (LED) applications. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) has experienced a rapid progress and reached over 21%, comparable to the state of the art organic and quantum dot LEDs. For metal halide perovskites, their simple solution-processing preparation, facile band gap tunability, and narrow emission line width provide another attractive route to harness their superior optoelectronic properties for multicolor display applications. In this work, we demonstrate a high-resolution, large-scale photolithographic method to pattern multicolor perovskite films. This approach is based on a dry lift-off process which involves the use of parylene as an intermediary and the easy mechanical peeling-off of parylene films on various substrates. Using this approach, we successfully fabricated multicolor patterns with red and green perovskite pixels on a single substrate, which could be further applied in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with blue backlight. Besides, a prototype green perovskite micro-LED display under current driving has been demonstrated.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have many important optoelectronic properties, including high emission efficiency, high absorption coefficients, color purity, and tunable emission wavelength, which makes these materials promising for optoelectronic applications. However, the inability to precisely control large-scale patterned growth of halide perovskites limits their potential toward various device applications. Here, we report a patterning method for the growth of a cesium lead halide perovskite single crystal array. Our approach consists of two steps: (1) cesium halide salt arrays patterning and (2) chemical vapor transport process to convert salt arrays into single crystal perovskite arrays. Characterizations including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and photoluminescence have been employed to confirm the chemical compositions and the optical properties of the as-synthesized perovskite arrays. This patterning method enables the patterning of single crystal cesium lead halide perovskite arrays with tunable spacing (from 2 to 20 μm) and crystal size (from 200 nm to 1.2 μm) in high production yield (almost every pixel in the array is successfully grown with converted perovskite crystals). Our large-scale patterning method renders a platform for the study of fundamental properties and opportunities for perovskite-based optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Single-crystalline halide perovskites with regular morphology are of great significance for laser applications because they can be used to fabricate a natural whispering-gallery-mode resonator. Although enormous efforts have been put to synthesize single-crystalline perovskites, controlling the lateral size and thickness of the crystal, particularly at the nanoscale, is still challenging. Here, we report a facile and high-throughput strategy to selectively one-step create micro/nanoscale size-controlled all-inorganic perovskite single-crystal arrays by surface-tension-confined evaporative assembly. Our method can be used to easily tune the single crystal size and selectively position the single crystal, with versatility in fabricating perovskite single-crystal arrays in a wafer scale. When the patterned size increases from 2 to 25 μm, the width of the CsPbClBr2 perovskite microplates increased from 150 nm to 4.2 μm. Fixing the width of the microplates at 1.6 μm, with the increase of the sliding speed from 50 to 250 mm/min, we could significantly control the thicknesses from 270 to 430 nm. Additionally, our present study provides a characterization of lasers based on different three-dimensional structures, confirming their width-dependent lasing mode and thickness-dependent lasing threshold characteristic, which is beneficial for the tunability of a high-performance microlaser.

Abstract
Nonvacuum printing of single crystals would be ideal for high-performance functional device (such as electronics) fabrication yet challenging for most materials, especially for inorganic semiconductors. Currently, the printed films are dominant in amorphous, polycrystalline, or nanoparticle films. In this article, manufacturing of single-crystal silicon micro/nano-islands is attempted. Different from traditional vapor deposition for silicon thin-film preparation, silicon nanoparticle ink was aerosol-printed followed by confined laser melting and crystallization, allowing potential fabrication of single-crystal silicon micro/nano-islands. It is also shown that as-fabricated Si islands can be transfer-printed onto polymer substrates for potential application of flexible electronics. The additive nature of this technique suggests a scalable and economical approach for high-crystallinity semiconductor printing.

Abstract
An ideal anti-counterfeiting technique has to be inexpensive, mass-producible, nondestructive, unclonable and convenient for authentication. Although many anti-counterfeiting technologies have been developed, very few of them fulfill all the above requirements. Here we report a non-destructive, inkjet-printable, artificial intelligence (AI)-decodable and unclonable security label. The stochastic pinning points at the three-phase contact line of the ink droplets is crucial for the successful inkjet printing of the unclonable security labels. Upon the solvent evaporation, the three-phase contact lines are pinned around the pinning points, where the quantum dots in the ink droplets deposited on, forming physically unclonable flower-like patterns. By utilizing the RGB emission quantum dots, full-color fluorescence security labels can be produced. A convenient and reliable AI-based authentication strategy is developed, allowing for the fast authentication of the covert, unclonable flower-like dot patterns with different sharpness, brightness, rotations, amplifications and the mixture of these parameters. Anti-counterfeiting technologies should ideally be unclonable, yet simple to fabricate and decode. Here, the authors develop an inkjet-printable and unclonable security label based on random patterning of quantum dot inks, and accompany it with an artificial intelligence decoding mechanism capable of authenticating the patterns.

Abstract
Perovskite materials have exhibited promising potential for universal applications including backlighting, color conversion, and anticounterfeiting labels fabricated using solution processes. However, owing to the tendency of those materials to have uncontrollable morphologies and to form large crystals, they cannot be utilized in discontinuous microminiaturization, which is crucial for practical optoelectronic applications. In this research, combining the effects of adding polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), precisely controlling the inkjet printing technique, and using a postprocessing procedure, we were able to fabricate in situ crystallized perovskite-PVP nanocomposite microarrays with perfect morphologies. The viscosity of the perovskite precursor increased with the addition of PVP, eliminating the outward capillary flow that induces the coffee-ring effect. In addition, because of the presence of metallic bonds with the C═O groups in PVP and the spatial confinement of such a polymer, we were able to fabricate regulated CsPbBr3 nanocrystals capped with PVP and with a uniform size distribution. The as-printed patterns showed excellent homogeneity on a macroscale and high reproducibility on a microscale; furthermore, those patterns were invisible in the ambient environment, compatible with flexible substrates, and cost-efficient to produce, indicating that this technique holds promising potential for applications such as anticounterfeiting labels.

Abstract
All-inorganic lead halide perovskites are promising materials for many optoelectronic applications. However, two issues that arise during device fabrication hinder their practical use, namely, inadequate continuity of coated inorganic perovskite films across large areas and inability to integrate these films with traditional photolithography due to poor adhesion to wafers. Herein, for the first time, to address these issues, we show a room-temperature synthesis process employed to produce CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals with two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet features. Due to the unique properties of these 2D nanocrystals, including the "self-assembly" characteristic, the "double solvent evaporation inducing self-patterning" strategy is used to generate high-quality patterned thin films in selected areas automatically after drop-casting, enabling fabrication of high-performance devices without using complex and expensive fabrication processing techniques. The films are free from microcracks. In a proof-of-concept experiment, photodetector arrays are used to demonstrate the superior properties of such films. We provide evidence of both high responsivity (9.04 A/W) and high stability across large areas. The photodetectors fabricated on a flexible substrate exhibit outstanding photoresponse stability. Advanced optical and structural studies reveal the possible mechanism. Our simple and cost-effective method paves the way for the next-generation nanotechnology based on high-performance, cost-effective optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The interdigital Ag electrode is fabricated via a simple and fast approach called laser direct writing (LDW). The morphology and conductivity of electrode fingers are investigated systematically under different experimental parameters, including the laser spot size, laser power, and scanning speed. "Dose" describes the combined influence of these experimental parameters. It is found that overdose results in net-shape and dot-shape hollows in the middle of an Ag line due to the sintering degree and complex flow dynamics, which reduced the conductivity of the Ag lines. Based on the printed Ag electrodes with the best conductivity, a photodetector is customized further, which can detect the offset of the line-shape laser easily. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the printed Ag electrodes are applied to photodetectors, which can be highly valuable for developing all-printed electronic devices by LDW in the future.

Abstract
A novel cylindrical flexible enzyme-electrode sensor was fabricated with a bigger working electrode (WE) surface than the traditional pin-like one for implantable continuous glucose monitoring. On the WE surface, a 3D nanostructure consisting of graphene and platinum nanoparticles was constructed to enhance the sensitivity; in conjunction with the bigger WE, this nanostructure enabled hypoglycemia detection, which is still a big challenge in clinics. The cylindrical sensor was fabricated by rotated inkjet printing which enabled direct patterning of microstructures on a curved surface, thus overcoming the restriction of the traditional planar micromachining by photolithography. Specifically, the cylindrical substrate (polyetheretherketone, PEEK) was modified by (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane to facilitate surface wettability, which discourages the coalescence of adjacent droplets, and to facilitate the adhesion of metals to PEEK in order to construct robust electrodes. A synchronous heating method was used to evaporate the solvent of the droplets quickly to prevent them from running along the cylindrical surface, which affects the formation of the printed electrode significantly. In vitro experimental results showed that the proposed sensor was able to detect the glucose concentration ranging from 0 to 570 mg dL-1 which demonstrated its capability for physiological glucose detection. In vivo experiments were conducted with rats, and the measurement results recorded using the implanted cylindrical sensor showed great compliance to those recorded using a commercial glucometer which exhibited the viability of the proposed sensor for implantable continuous glucose monitoring, even under the hypoglycemic conditions.

Abstract
Here, we present a single atomic supersaturated recrystallization method to synthesize the green-emitting CsPbBr3-Cs4PbBr6 perovskite composites in solid state with the highest PLQY of 40.8% in pure polar solvent. The component, morphology, and optical properties of the microcrystals can be tuned by varying growth time, the content of ammonium bromide, and bromine source. The developed method provides a new route to large-scale synthesize high quality perovskite composites emitters for light-emitting diodes.
