Abstract
CsPbBr3quantum dots (QDs) have excellent optical properties and good phase stability, but the long-chain ligands on their surfaces affect the charge transfer between QDs. Here, we propose a simple ligand exchange strategy: solution-phase ligand exchange. By adding an acetone solution of phenylethylammonium bromide to the purification process of CsPbBr3QDs, the long-chain ligands were effectively replaced and the electric coupling between QDs was improved. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell was increased from 1.95% to 2.83%. Meanwhile, the stability of the devices was significantly improved in the unencapsulated case.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) hold immense promise in high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for future high-definition displays. Their adjustable bandgaps, vivid colors, and good carrier mobility are key factors that make them a potential game-changer. However, to fully harness their potential, the efficiency and long-term stability of PNCs-based light-emitting diodes (PNC-LEDs) must be enhanced. Recent material research results have shed light on the leading cause of performance decline in PNC-LEDs, which is ionic migration linked to surface defects and grain boundary imperfections. This review aims to present recent advancements in the modification strategies of PNCs, focusing on obtaining high-quality PNCs for LEDs. The PNC modification strategies are first summarized, including crystal structure regulation, nanocrystal size tuning, ligand exchange, and surface passivation. Then, the effects of these material design aspects on LED device performances, such as efficiency, brightness, and stability, are presented. Based on the efficient modification strategies, we propose promising material design insights for efficient and stable PNC-LEDs.

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
Copper-based (I) halide perovskites have emerged as a promising candidate for scintillation screens in X-ray inspection and imaging areas due to their solution processability and high light yield. Here, a centimeter-sized Cs3Cu2Cl5 single crystal was grown by a slow-cooling method. The planar orientation was controlled in a space-confined chamber, generating a planar crystal which is readily used for a scintillation screen without any further shaping. The crystal exhibited a unity photoluminescence quantum yield and superior scintillation performance. The Cs3Cu2Cl5 single crystal exhibited a high light yield up to 95,000 photons/MeV, which enabled an X-ray detector of a detection limit down to 2.7 μGyair/s. The homemade imager demonstrated a spatial resolution of 105 lp/mm, representing an unprecedented micrometer resolution in laboratory. Importantly, the stability of Cs3Cu2Cl5 was significantly improved by a new surface passivation procedure, whereby the passivated crystal reserved its phase after 6 months' storage in a vial. This work introduced a new solution-based synthetic method for two-dimensional scintillating crystals, opening many avenues to high-performance X-ray imaging applications.

Abstract
Heteronanocrystals that combine multiple semiconductors into a nanoscale heterostructure possess excellent optical performance and flexibility in property engineering compared with their single-component counterparts. The successes in fabricating lead halide perovskite-based heteronanocrystals (PHNCs) have drastically improved the stability and tunability of the optical and electrical properties. However, the epitaxial growth of semiconductor materials on perovskite nanocrystals remains a fundamental challenge because of the mismatch in their surface structure and crystal growth kinetics. Here, we review recent progress in the development of PHNCs with emphasis on their synthesis methods and surface chemistry that led to new insights and reaction protocols for the design and fabrication of PHNCs. In addition, the optical features of different types of PHNCs and nanocomposites and their application perspectives are summarized. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the remaining issues, challenges, and opportunities in epitaxial growth of Janus and core-shell structure PHNCs.

Abstract
Halide exchange is a popular strategy to tune the properties of CsPbX3 nanocrystals after synthesis. However, while Cl → Br and Br → I exchanges proceed through the formation of stable mixed-halide nanocrystals, the Cl ⇌ I exchange is more elusive. Indeed, the large size difference between chloride and iodide ions causes a miscibility gap in the CsPbCl3-CsPbI3 system, preventing the isolation of stable CsPb(ClxI1-x)3 nanocrystals. Yet, previous works have claimed that a full CsPbCl3 → CsPbI3 exchange can be achieved. Even more interestingly, interrupting the exchange prematurely yields a mixture of CsPbCl3 and CsPbI3 nanocrystals that coexist without undergoing further transformation. Here, we investigate the reaction mechanism of CsPbCl3 → CsPbI3 exchange in nanocrystals. We show that the reaction proceeds through the early formation of iodide-doped CsPbCl3 nanocrystals covered by a monolayer shell of CsI. These nanocrystals then leap over the miscibility gap between CsPbCl3 and CsPbI3 by briefly transitioning to short-lived and nonrecoverable CsPb(ClxI1-x)3 nanocrystals, which quickly expel the excess chloride and turn into the chloride-doped CsPbI3 nanocrystals found in the final product.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite based materials have emerged over the past few decades as remarkable solution-processable optoelectronic materials with many intriguing properties and potential applications. These emerging materials have recently been considered for their promise in low-energy memory and information processing applications. In particular, their large optical cross-sections, high photoconductance contrast, large carrier-diffusion lengths, and mixed electronic/ionic transport mechanisms are attractive for enabling memory elements and neuromorphic devices that are written and/or read in the optical domain. Here, recent progress toward memory and neuromorphic functionality in metal halide perovskite materials and devices where photons are used as a critical degree of freedom for switching, memory, and neuromorphic functionality is reviewed.

Abstract
We investigate the self-assembly of amphiphilic nanocubes into finite-sized aggregates in equilibrium and under shear, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) calculations. These patchy nanoparticles combine both interaction and shape anisotropy, making them valuable models for studying folded proteins and DNA-functionalized nanoparticles. The nanocubes can self-assemble into various finite-sized aggregates ranging from rods to self-avoiding random walks, depending on the number and placement of the hydrophobic faces. Our study focuses on suspensions containing multi- and one-patch cubes, with their ratio systematically varied. When the binding energy is comparable to the thermal energy, the aggregates consist of only few cubes that spontaneously associate/dissociate. However, highly stable aggregates emerge when the binding energy exceeds the thermal energy. Generally, the mean aggregation number of the self-assembled clusters increases with the number of hydrophobic faces and decreases with increasing fraction of one-patch cubes. In sheared suspensions, the more frequent collisions between nanocube clusters lead to faster aggregation dynamics but also to smaller terminal steady-state mean cluster sizes. The results from the MD and KMC simulations are in excellent agreement for all investigated two-patch cases, whereas the three-patch cubes form systematically smaller clusters in the MD simulations compared to the KMC calculations due to finite-size effects and slow aggregation kinetics. By analyzing the rate kernels, we are able to identify the primary mechanisms responsible for (shear-induced) cluster growth and breakup. This understanding allows us to tune nanoparticle and process parameters to achieve desired cluster sizes and shapes.

Abstract
Low-cost and eco-friendly CuI hybrid compounds with various structures have recently attracted increasing attention due to their excellent optical properties and promising phosphor applications. However, the poor solubility and solution processability of bulk powders with agglomerated particle limited their practical applications greatly. In this work, we reported the self-assembly formation of CuI hybrid micron phosphors via the aqueous PVP micelle-assisted assembly route. Seven CuI hybrid micron phosphors with the emission from blue 450 nm to red 636 nm have been successfully synthesized. Among them, CuI-pyridine hybrid micron phosphors can be obtained via the reaction of CuI with various pyridines. PVP limits the size growth of the phosphors efficiently and it also plays an important role in controlling the distinct crystal phase formation. Whereas, micron phosphors based on bidentate ligands including 2-propylpyrazine, 5-bromopyrimidine or 4,4'-bipyridine need to be prepared via ligand exchange reaction. The micron phosphors present excellent stability in water and can be dispersed in the aqueous solution of PVP or PVA to form homogenous luminescent composites. The luminescent composites based on PVP are easy to use for fabricating anti-counterfeiting patterns via brush-painting or screen-printing. On the other hand, PVA composites can be applied for preparing free standing monochromatic or multichromatic emitting films as color convertor for display backlight. The PVA composites also exhibit the promising phosphor application for light-emitting diode (LED). Especially, the white LED can be directly realized via optimizing the mixing ratio of blue and orange phosphors.

Abstract
The power conversion efficiencies of lead halide perovskite thin film solar cells have surged in the short time since their inception. Compounds, such as ionic liquids (ILs), have been explored as chemical additives and interface modifiers in perovskite solar cells, contributing to the rapid increase in cell efficiencies. However, due to the small surface area-to-volume ratio of the large grained polycrystalline halide perovskite films, an atomistic understanding of the interaction between ILs and perovskite surfaces is limited. Here, we use quantum dots (QDs) to study the coordinative surface interaction between phosphonium-based ILs and CsPbBr3. When native oleylammonium oleate ligands are exchanged off the QD surface with the phosphonium cation as well as the IL anion, a threefold increase in photoluminescent quantum yield of as-synthesized QDs is observed. The CsPbBr3 QD structure, shape, and size remain unchanged after ligand exchange, indicating only a surface ligand interaction at approximately equimolar additions of the IL. Increased concentrations of the IL lead to a disadvantageous phase change and a concomitant decrease in photoluminescent quantum yields. Valuable information regarding the coordinative interaction between certain ILs and lead halide perovskites has been elucidated and can be used for informed pairing of beneficial combinations of IL cations and anions.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanocrystals into superlattices is a fascinating process that not only changes geometric morphology, but also creates unique properties that considerably enrich the material toolbox for new applications. Numerous studies have driven the blossoming of superlattices from various aspects. These include precise control of size and morphology, enhancement of properties, exploitation of functions, and integration of the material into miniature devices. The effective synthesis of metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals has advanced research on self-assembly of building blocks into micrometer-sized superlattices. More importantly, these materials exhibit abundant optical features, including highly coherent superfluorescence, amplified spontaneous laser emission, and adjustable spectral redshift, facilitating basic research and state-of-the-art applications. This review summarizes recent advances in the field of metal-halide perovskite superlattices. It begins with basic packing models and introduces various stacking configurations of superlattices. The potential of multiple capping ligands is also discussed and their crucial role in superlattice growth is highlighted, followed by detailed reviews of synthesis and characterization methods. How these optical features can be distinguished and present contemporary applications is then considered. This review concludes with a list of unanswered questions and an outlook on their potential use in quantum computing and quantum communications to stimulate further research in this area.

Abstract
Emission photon statistics of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs), including lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), are important fundamental and practical optical properties. Single QDs exhibit high-probability single-photon emission owing to the efficient Auger recombination between generated excitons. Because the recombination rate depends on QD size, single-photon emission probability should be size-dependent. Previous studies have researched QDs smaller than their exciton Bohr diameters (twice the Bohr radius of excitons). Here, we investigated the relationship between the single-photon emission behavior and size of CsPbBr3 PNCs to elucidate their size threshold. Simultaneous single-nanocrystal spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy observations on single PNCs with approximately 5-25 nm edge length showed that those smaller than approximately 10 nm, which had size-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectral shifts, exhibited high-probability single-photon emissions, which decreased linearly with PNC volume. Novel single-photon emission, size, and PL peak correlations of PNCs are important for understanding the relationship between single-photon emission and quantum confinement.

Abstract
Semiconductor perovskites have been under intense investigation for their promise in optoelectronic applications and their novel and unique physical properties. There have been a variety of material implementations of perovskites from thin films to single crystals to nanocrystals. The nanocrystal form, in particular, is attractive as it enables solution processing and also spectroscopically probes both absorptive and emissive transitions. Broadly, the literature is comprised of experiments of either form, but the experiments are rarely performed in concert and are not discussed in a unified picture. For example, absorptive experiments are typically transient absorption measurements, which aim to measure carrier kinetics and dynamics. In contrast, the emissive experiments largely focus on excitonic fine structures and coupling to phonons. The time resolved emission experiments report on excited state lifetimes and their dependence on temperature. There are broad differences in the spectroscopy techniques and the questions asked in both classes of experiments. Yet there is one measure in common that suggests there are mysteries in our understanding of how the absorbing and emitting states are connected. The linewidth of emission spectra is always larger than the linewidth of absorption spectra. The question of the physics underlying linewidths is complex and is one of the central issues in perovskite nanocrystals. So why are the absorptive and emissive linewidths different? At present even this simple question has no clear answer. The more complex questions of the structure and dynamics of absorptive and emissive states are even more ambiguous. Hence there is a need to connect these experiments and the relevant states. Here, we provide an overview of the salient absorptive and emissive spectroscopy techniques in an effort to begin connecting these two disparate areas of inquiry.

Abstract
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are used as bright chromatic fluorophores for energy-efficient displays. We focus here on the size-dependent Stokes shift for CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. The Stokes shift, i.e., the difference between the wavelengths of absorption and emission maxima, is crucial for display application, as it controls the degree to which light is reabsorbed by the emitting material reducing the energetic efficiency. One major impediment to the industrial adoption of NCs is that slight deviations in manufacturing conditions may result in a wide dispersion of the product's properties. A data-driven analysis of over 2000 reactions comparing two data sets, one produced via standard colloidal synthesis and the other via high-throughput automated synthesis is discussed. We show that differences in the reaction conditions of colloidal CsPbBr3 nanocrystals yield nanocrystals with opposite Stokes shift size-dependent trends. These match the morphologies of two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs) and nanocrystal cubes. The Stokes shift size dependence trend of NPLs and nanocubes is non-monotonic indicating different physics is at play for the two nanocrystal morphologies. For nanocrystals with cubic shape, with the increase of edge length, there is a significant decrease in Stokes shift values. However, for NPLs with the increase of thickness (1-4 ML), Stokes shift values will increase. The study emphasizes the transition from a spectroscopic point of view and relates the two Stokes shift trends to 2D and 0D exciton dimensionalities for the two morphologies. Our findings highlight the importance of CsPbBr3 nanocrystal morphology for Stokes shift prediction.

Abstract
Colloidal chemistry grants access to a wealth of materials through simple and mild reactions. However, even few elements can combine in a variety of stoichiometries and structures, potentially resulting in impurities or even wrong products. Similar issues have been long addressed in organic chemistry by using reaction-directing groups, that are added to a substrate to promote a specific product and are later removed. Inspired by such approach, we demonstrate the use of CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals to drive the phase-selective synthesis of two yet unexplored lead sulfochlorides: Pb3S2Cl2 and Pb4S3Cl2. When homogeneously nucleated in solution, lead sulfochlorides form Pb3S2Cl2 nanocrystals. Conversely, the presence of CsPbCl3 triggers the formation of Pb4S3Cl2/CsPbCl3 epitaxial heterostructures. The phase selectivity is guaranteed by the continuity of the cationic subnetwork across the interface, a condition not met in a hypothetical Pb3S2Cl2/CsPbCl3 heterostructure. The perovskite domain is then etched, delivering phase-pure Pb4S3Cl2 nanocrystals that could not be synthesized directly. Phase-selective approaches, such using reaction-directing groups, are often seen in traditional organic chemistry and catalysis. Here authors use perovskite nanocrystals as disposable templates to drive the phase-selective synthesis of two colloidal nanomaterials, the lead sulfohalides Pb3S2Cl2 and Pb4S3Cl2.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and perovskite magic sized clusters (PMSCs) exhibit interesting size- and composition-dependent optoelectronic properties that are promising for emerging applications including photovoltaic solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Much work has focused on developing new synthesis strategies to improve their structural stability and property tunability. In this paper, we review recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of PQDs and PMSCs, with a focus on the impact of different molecular ligands on their surface passivation and interconversion. Moreover, the effect of capping ligands on ion exchange during synthesis and doping is discussed. Finally, we present some perspectives on challenges and opportunities in fundamental studies and potential applications of both PQDs and PMSCs.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been regarded as an excellent alternative for natural enzymes because of their high stability, low cost, and high activity. However, their use in disease diagnosis is still challenging, since the complex biological samples foul the nanozymes' surface and generate interference signals, thereby compromising the performance of nanozyme-based assays. Here, we report a dual-readout, CsPbBr3 NCs-based sandwich immunoassay for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). Thanks to their excellent fluorescence and intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity, the designed phospholipid-coated CsPbBr3 NCs (PL-CsPbBr3 NCs) served as an attractive dual signal generator (fluorescent and colorimetric), which is hardly achieved by other nanozymes. The Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) values of PL-CsPbBr3 NCs for H2O2 and tetramethylbenzidine are 2.85 mM and 1.42 mM, respectively. Meanwhile, the lipid shell around CsPbBr3 NCs not only greatly improves their aqueous stability, but also helps them resist the unspecific adsorption of biological impurities. Thus, the proposed dual-readout immunoassay enables precise, cost-effective, and anti-jamming detection of PSA in real serum samples with a low detection limit of 0.29 ng mL-1 (colorimetric) and 0.081 ng mL-1 (fluorescence). This enhanced immunoassay opens new insights for the application of perovskites in bioanalysis, especially for protein assay, holding great potential for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
CsPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), with excellent optical properties, have drawn considerable attention in recent years. However, they also suffer from inherent vulnerability and hydrolysis, causing the new understanding or new applications to be difficultly explored. Herein, for the first time, it is discovered that the phospholipid membrane (PM)-coated CsPbX3 NCs have intrinsic biocatalytic activity. Different from other peroxidase-like nanozymes relying on extra chromogenic reagents, the PM-CsPbX3 NCs can be used as a self-reporting nanoprobe, allowing an "add-to-answer" detection model. Notably, the fluorescence of PM-CsPbX3 NCs can be rapidly quenched by adding H2 O2 and then be restored by removing excess H2 O2 . Initiated from this unexpected observation, the PM-CsPbX3 NCs can be explored to prepare multi-color bioinks and metabolite-responsive paper analytical devices, demonstrating the great potential of CsPbX3 NCs in bioanalysis. This is the first report on the discovery of nanozyme-like property of all-inorganic CsPbX3 perovskite NCs, which adds another piece to the nanozyme puzzle and opens new avenues for in vitro disease diagnostics.

Abstract
The increase of the stability of perovskite nanocrystals with respect to exposure to polar media, layers growth, or shelling with different materials is in demand. While these are widely studied for metal chalcogenide nanocrystals, it has yet to be explored for perovskite nanocrystals. Even growth of a single monolayer on any facet or on the entire surface of these nanocrystals could not be established yet. To address this, herein, a secondary growth approach leading to creation of a secondary lattice with subsequent expansion on preformed CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals is reported. As direct layer growth by adding precursors was not successful, Cs-lattice extension to preformed CsPbBr3 nanocrystals was performed by coupling CsBr to these nanocrystals. Opening both {110}/{002} and {200} facets of parent CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, CsBr was observed to be connected with lattice matching to the {200} facets. Further with Pb(II) incorporation, the Cs-sublattices of CsBr were expanded to CsPbBr3 and led to cube-couple nanocrystals. However, as cubes in these nanostructures were differently oriented, these showed lattice mismatch at their junctions. This lattice mismatch though restricted complete shelling but successfully favored the secondary growth on specific facets of parent CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. Details of this secondary growth via lattice extension and expansion are microscopically analyzed and reported. These results further suggest that lead halide perovskite nanocrystals can be epitaxially grown under proper reaction design and more complex as well as heterostructures of these materials can be fabricated to meet the current demands.

Abstract
The quantum confinement effect and interesting optical properties of cesium lead halide (CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) and nanocrystals (NCs) have given a new horizon to lighting and photonic applications. Given the exponential rate at which scientific results on CsPbX3NCs are published in the last few years, it can be expected that the research in CsPbX3NCs will further receive increasing scientific interests in the near future and possibly lead to great commercial opportunities to realize these materials based practical applications. With the rapid progress in the single-photon emitting CsPbX3QDs and NCs, practical applications of the quantum technologies such as single-photon emitting light-emitting diode, quantum lasers, quantum computing might soon be possible. But to reach at cutting edge of stable perovskite QDs/NCs, the study of fundamental insight and theoretical aspects of crystal design is yet insufficient. Even more, it has aroused many unanswered questions related to the stability, optical and electronic properties of the CsPbX3QDs. Aim of the present review is to illustrate didactically a precise study of recent progress in the synthesis, properties and applications of CsPbX3QDs and NCs. Critical issues that currently restrict the applicability of these QDs will be identified and advanced methodologies currently in the developing queue, to overcome the roadblock, will be presented. And finally, the prospects for future directions will be provided.

Abstract
For display applications, it is highly desirable to obtain tunable red/green/blue emission. However, lead-free perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) generally exhibit broadband emission with poor color purity. Herein, we developed a unique phase transition strategy to engineer the emission color of lead-free cesium manganese bromides NCs and we can achieve a tunable red/green/blue emission with high color purity in these NCs. Such phase transition can be triggered by isopropanol: from one dimensional (1D) CsMnBr3 NCs (red-color emission) to zero dimensional (0D) Cs3 MnBr5 NCs (green-color emission). Furthermore, in a humid environment both 1D CsMnBr3 NCs and 0D Cs3 MnBr5 NCs can be transformed into 0D Cs2 MnBr4 ⋅2 H2 O NCs (blue-color emission). Cs2 MnBr4 ⋅2 H2 O NCs could inversely transform into the mixture of CsMnBr3 and Cs3 MnBr5 phase during the thermal annealing dehydration step. Our work highlights the tunable optical properties in single component NCs via phase engineering and provides a new avenue for future endeavors in light-emitting devices.

Abstract
The accessible emission spectral range of lead halide perovskite (LHP) CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) has remained so far limited to wavelengths below 1 μm, corresponding to the emission line of Yb3+, whereas the direct sensitization of other near-infrared (NIR) emitting lanthanide ions is unviable. Herein, we present a general strategy to enable intense NIR emission from Er3+ at ∼1.5 μm, Ho3+ at ∼1.0 μm and Nd3+ at ∼1.06 μm through a Mn2+-mediated energy-transfer pathway. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence studies show that energy-transfer efficiencies of about 39%, 35% and 70% from Mn2+ to Er3+, Ho3+ and Nd3+ are obtained, leading to photoluminescence quantum yields of ∼0.8%, ∼0.7% and ∼3%, respectively. This work provides guidance on constructing energy-transfer pathways in semiconductors and opens new perspectives for the development of lanthanide-functionalized LHPs as promising materials for optoelectronic devices operating in the NIR region.
