Abstract
Lead halide perovskite anion exchange reactions tend to be spontaneous and rapid. To achieve precise control of anion exchange and modulate the bandgaps of perovskites to meet the demands in full-color displays, a laser-induced liquid-phase anion exchange method is developed in this paper. CsPbBr3 perovskites embedded in a polymer matrix are converted to CsPb(BrxCl1-x)3 and CsPb(BrxI1-x)3 perovskites, realizing the shift from green fluorescence to blue and red fluorescence. By changing the laser parameters, the anion exchange extent and luminescence wavelength are precisely tuned, with the maximum tuning wavelength range of 431-696 nm. Due to the focusing properties of the laser, the spatial position of anion exchange can be precisely controlled, which is significant for realizing fast and accurate patterning without masks. Based on this method, blue patterns with different light-emitting wavelengths are fabricated. RGB three-color patterns on a single perovskite composite film are successfully prepared by further replacement of halogen ions. More importantly, the polymer matrix provides ultraflexibility and good stability for the films; even if the composite films are arbitrarily folded or repeatedly bent, they can still maintain good luminous intensity. This method will show great potential in the field of flexible, full-color displays.

Abstract
Precise synthesis of all-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanowire heterostructures and superlattices with designable modulation of chemical compositions is essential for tailoring their optoelectronic properties. Nevertheless, controllable synthesis of perovskite nanostructure heterostructures remains challenging and underexplored to date. Here, we report a rational strategy for wafer-scale synthesis of one-dimensional periodic CsPbCl3/CsPbI3 superlattices. We show that the highly parallel array of halide perovskite nanowires can be prepared roughly as horizontally guided growth on an M-plane sapphire. A periodic patterning of the sapphire substrate enables position-selective ion exchange to obtain highly periodic CsPbCl3/CsPbI3 nanowire superlattices. This patterning is further confirmed by micro-photoluminescence investigations, which show that two separate band-edge emission peaks appear at the interface of a CsPbCl3/CsPbI3 heterojunction. Additionally, compared with the pure CsPbCl3 nanowires, photodetectors fabricated using these periodic heterostructure nanowires exhibit superior photoelectric performance, namely, high ION/IOFF ratio (104), higher responsivity (49 A/W), and higher detectivity (1.51 × 1013 Jones). Moreover, a spatially resolved visible image sensor based on periodic nanowire superlattices is demonstrated with good imaging capability, suggesting promising application prospects in future photoelectronic imaging systems. All these results based on the periodic CsPbCl3/CsPbI3 nanowire superlattices provides an attractive material platform for integrated perovskite devices and circuits.

Abstract
The most attractive advantages of all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites are their optical gain over broad spectral ranges through the visible spectrum, so are well suited to use in tunable lasers or broadband amplifiers. Most reported anion exchange reactions face a challenge to achieve the desired halogen-variable perovskites due to rapid and uncontrollable reactions and difficulty to synthesize directly. In this study, a simple vapor/solid anion exchange strategy is demonstrated for controlling the reaction process and realizing a wide range tuning of band gap and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) wavelength, which exhibits a temperature-dependent anion exchange rate. By optimizing the reaction temperature at 90 °C, the ASE wavelength can be linearly manipulated by just controlling the reaction time. A clear quantitative relationship between ASE peak position and reaction time is achieved. Compares with the CsPbClBr2 film obtained via the liquid phase anion exchange method, the fabricated perovskite films obtained by vapor/solid anion exchange technology exhibit superior film quality and enhanced ASE performance. This work may have applications in the future using facile and controllable techniques to develop high-quality full-color visible lasers.

Abstract
The fluorination of the aromatic multifunctional Lewis base passivation strategy has been demonstrated recently as an effective approach to markedly enhance the performance of perovskite photovoltaic devices. However, the regulation mechanisms of the passivation efficiency by varying the functional group position of fluorine (F) in the regioisomers have received little attention and inadequate research. Herein, a pair of bifluorine-substituted aminobenzoic acid regioisomers [3-amino-2,6-difluorobenzoic acid (13-FABA) and 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzoic acid (14-FABA)] were employed to investigate the passivation effects of Lewis bases dependent on behaviors of the ortho/meta-substituted position of fluorine. The density functional theory calculation on electron cloud density, interaction energy, and the basicity of Lewis bases combined with experimental evidence reveal that the ortho-effect induced by fluorine substitution weakens the passivating effect of 13-FABA Lewis base and induces its molecular propensity to form internal salts, accelerating the degradation and deterioration of the device performance. Conversely, 14-FABA with meta-connected fluorine atoms exhibit superior efficacy in suppressing defects and enhancing hydrophobicity. Eventually, the 14-FABA-modified photodetectors (PDs) achieved a high detectivity of 1.69 × 1013 Jones, the comparatively lower dark current density of 2.2 × 10-10 A/cm2 among all-inorganic perovskite PD systems. Our work has not only clarified the fundamental mechanisms of the F-substituted position effects of Lewis base on suppressing defects but also provided a promising passivation strategy for perovskite films via designing the regioisomeric atoms in a multifunctional Lewis base molecule.

Abstract
Solid-state anion exchange method is easy to handle and beneficial to improve stability of CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskites nanocrystals (NCs) with respect to anion exchange in liquid phase. However, the corresponding exchange rate is rather slow due to the limited diffusion rate of anions from solid phases, resulting in mixed-halide perovskite NCs. Herein, a fast and reversible post-synthetic quasi-solid-state anion exchange method in CsPbX3 NCs with inorganic potassium halide KX salts/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) thin film is firstly reported. Original morphology of the exchanged NCs is well-preserved for all samples. Complete anion exchange from Br- to Cl- or I- is successfully achieved in CsPbX3 NCs within ≈20 min through possible vacancies-assisted ion exchange mechanism, under ambient conditions and vice versa. Particularly, Br- -exchanged CsPbCl3 and CsPbI3 NCs exhibit improved optical properties. Encouraged by the attractive fluorescence and persistent luminescence as well as good stability of the resulted CsPbX3 NCs, an effective dual-mode information storage-reading application is demonstrated. It is believed that this method can open a new avenue for the synthesis of other direct-synthesis challenging quantum-confined perovskite NCs/nanoplates/nanodisks or CsSnX3 NCs/thin film and provide an opportunity for advanced information storage compatible for practical applications.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (HPs) have attracted respectable interests as active layers in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, etc. Besides the promising optoelectronic properties and solution-processed preparation, the soft lattice in HPs leads to flexible and versatile compositions and structures, providing an effective platform to regulate the bandgaps and optoelectronic properties. However, conventional solution-processed HPs are homogeneous in composition. Therefore, it often requires the cooperation of multiple devices in order to achieve multi-band detection or emission, which increases the complexity of the detection/emission system. In light of this, the construction of a multi-component compositional gradient in a single active layer has promising prospects. In this review, we summarize the gradient engineering methods for different forms of HPs. The advantages and limitations of these methods are compared. Moreover, the entropy-driven ion diffusion favors compositional homogeneity, thus the stability issue of the gradient is also discussed for long-term applications. Furthermore, applications based on these compositional gradient HPs will also be presented, where the gradient bandgap introduced therein can facilitate carrier extraction, and the multi-components on one device facilitate functional integration. It is expected that this review can provide guidance for the further development of gradient HPs and their applications.

Abstract
Bi-based inorganic perovskites have attracted great attention in optoelectronics, as they feature similar photoelectric properties but have high stability and lead-free merits. Unfortunately, due to the high exciton binding energy and small Bohr radius, their photodetection performance still largely lags behind that of Pb-based counterparts. Herein, using a vapor-phase chloride ion-substitution strategy, Cs3Bi2Br9 photodetectors (PDs) with gradient energy band alignment were delicately modulated, contributing to a high carrier separation/collection efficiency. The optimized Bi-based perovskite ACCT (Al2O3/Cs3Bi2Br9/Cs3Bi2ClxBr9-x/TiO2) PDs exhibit outstanding performance, the ON/OFF ratio and linear dynamic range (LDR) are significantly improved by 20 and 2.6 times, respectively. Significantly, we further demonstrate the high-SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) UV imaging based on the optimized device, which shows 21.887 dB higher than that of the pristine device. Finally, the vapor-phase anion-exchange modified perovskite PDs show long-term stability and high UV resistance. Vapor-phase ion-substitution is a promising approach for the synergistic effect of matched energy band alignment and interface passivation, which can be applied to other perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
This work aims to test the effectiveness of newly developed DFT-1/2 functional in calculating the electronic and optical properties of inorganic lead halide perovskites CsPbBr3. Herein, from DFT-1/2 we have obtained the direct band gap of 2.36 eV and 3.82 eV for orthorhombic bulk and 001-surface, respectively. The calculated energy band gap is in qualitative agreement with the experimental findings. The bandgap of ultra-thin film of CsPbBr3 is found to be 3.82 eV, which is more than the expected range 1.23-3.10 eV. However, we have found that the bandgap can be reduced by increasing the surface thickness. Thus, the system under investigation looks promising for optoelectronic and photocatalysis applications, due to the bandgap matching and high optical absorption in UV-Vis (Ultra violet and visible spectrum) range of electro-magnetic(em) radiation.
