Abstract
Poly(propylene carbonate-co-phthalate) (PPC-P) is an amorphous copolymer of aliphatic polycarbonate and aromatic polyester; it possesses good biodegradability, superior mechanical performances, high thermal properties, and excellent affinity with CO2. Hence, we fabricate PPC-P foams in an autoclave by using subcritical CO2 as a physical blowing agent. Both saturation pressure and foaming temperature affect the foaming behaviors of PPC-P, including CO2 adsorption and desorption performance, foaming ratio, cell size, porosity, cell density, and nucleation density, which are investigated in this research. Moreover, the low-cost PPC-P/nano-CaCO3 and PPC-P/starch composites are prepared and foamed using the same procedure. The obtained PPC-P-based foams show ultra-high expansion ratio and refined microcellular structures simultaneously. Besides, nano-CaCO3 can effectively improve PPC-P's rheological properties and foamability. In addition, the introduction of starch into PPC-P can lead to a large number of open cells. Beyond all doubt, this work can certainly provide both a kind of new biodegradable PPC-P-based foam materials and an economic methodology to make biodegradable plastic foams. These foams are potentially applicable in the packaging, transportation, and food industry.

Abstract
Lead-free Cs3Cu2I5 metal halides have garnered significant attention recently due to their non-toxic properties and deep-blue emission. However, their relatively low photoluminescence quantum efficiency and poor stability have limited their applications. In this work, sodium iodide (NaI) is used to facilitate the synthesis of Cs3Cu2I5 nanocrystals (NCs), demonstrating improved photoluminescence intensity, photoluminescence quantum yield, and stability. Systematic optoelectronic characterizations confirm that Na+ is successfully incorporated into the Cs3Cu2I5 lattice without altering its crystal structure. The improved Photoluminescence Quantum Yield (PLQY) and stability are attributed to the strengthened chemical bonding, which effectively suppresses vacancy defects in the lattice. Additionally, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on 10% NaI-doped Cs3Cu2I5 NCs were assembled, emitting vibrant blue light with a maximum radiant intensity of 82 lux and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.15, 0.1). This work opens new possibilities for commercial lighting display applications.

Abstract
In-based halide perovskites have attracted a lot of attention because of their unique broadband emission properties. Herein, a series of In-based hybrid perovskites of (H2MP)2InCl7·H2O (1), (H2EP)2InCl7·H2O (2), (H2MP)2InBr7·H2O (3), and (H2EP)2InBr7·H2O (4) were synthesized under the control of halogen ions and organic cations. 1, 2, and 4 exhibit obvious photoluminescence properties with peaks at 392, 442, and 652 nm, respectively. The effects of the different components on the crystal structure and photoluminescence properties are discussed by calculating the structural distortion of the [InX6]3- octahedron. The photoluminescence properties of 1 and 4 were significantly improved after Sb3+ doping with PLQY values of 57.12 and 41.53%. Finally, a white LED was successfully fabricated with the two doped compounds coated onto the 365 nm blue LED chip.

Abstract
Halide perovskite Cs3Bi2Br9 (CBB) has excellent potential in photocatalysis due to its promising light-harvesting properties. However, its photocatalytic performance might be limited due to the unfavorable charge carrier migration and water-induced properties, which limit the stability and photocatalytic performance. Therefore, we address this constraint in this work by synthesizing a stable halide perovskite heterojunction by introducing hydrogen titanate nanosheets (H2Ti3O7-NS, HTiO-NS). Optimizing the weight % (wt%) of CBB enables synthesizing the optimal CBB/HTiO-NS, CBHTNS heterostructure. The detailed morphology and structure characterization proved that the cubic shape of CBB is anchored on the HTiO-NS surface. The 30 wt% CBB/HTiO-NS-30 (CBHTNS-30) heterojunction showed the highest BnOH photooxidation performance with 98% conversion and 75% benzoic acid (BzA) selectivity at 2 h under blue light irradiation. Detailed optical and photoelectrochemical characterization showed that the incorporating CBB and HTiO-NS widened the range of the visible-light response and improved the ability to separate the photo-induced charge carriers. The presence of HTiO-NS has increased the oxidative properties, possibly by charge separation in the heterojunction, which facilitated the generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. A possible reaction pathway for the photocatalytic oxidation of BnOH to BzH and BzA was also suggested. Furthermore, through scavenger experiments, we found that the photogenerated h+, e- and •O2- play an essential role in the BnOH photooxidation, while the •OH have a minor effect on the reaction. This work may provide a strategy for using HTiO-NS-based photocatalyst to enhance the charge carrier migration and photocatalytic performance of CBB.

Abstract
Eu2+-based lead-free metal halide nanocrystals (LFMH NCs), including CsEuCl3 NCs and CsX:Eu2+ NCs (X = Cl or Br), exhibit highly efficient narrow-band blue photoluminescence, making them competitive candidates for next-generation lighting and displays. However, the growing mechanism of the aforementioned NCs lacks in-depth study, which hinders the development of Eu2+-based nanomaterials. Herein, we demonstrate the colloidal synthesis of CsBr:Eu2+ NCs based on an air-stable europium source. The NCs show deep blue photoluminescence centered at 444 nm, with a maximum photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) reaching 53.4% and a fwhm of 30 nm. We further reveal the mechanism that determines CsBr host growth and Eu2+ doping in CsBr:Eu2+ nanocrystals, especially dopant trapping and self-purification, that determine the PLQY level. Pure white, warm white, and cold white LEDs are fabricated based on CsBr:Eu2+ NCs, red and green phosphors, and their performance suits the needs of high-quality lighting.

Abstract
Metal halide nanocrystals (NCs) with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) are desirable for lighting, display, and X-ray detection. Herein, the novel lanthanide-based halide NCs are committed to designing and optimizing the optical and scintillating properties, so as to unravel the PL origin, exciton dynamics, and optoelectronic applications. Sb-doped zero-dimensional (0D) Cs3 TbCl6 NCs exhibit a green emission with a narrow full width of half maximum of 8.6 nm, and the best PLQY of 48.1% is about three times higher than that of undoped NCs. Experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that 0D crystalline and electronic structures make the exciton highly localized on [TbCl6 ]3- octahedron, which boosts the Cl- -Tb3+ charge transfer process, thus resulting in bright Tb3+ emission. More importantly, the introduction of Sb3+ not only facilitates the photon absorption transition, but also builds an effective thermally boosting energy transfer channel assisted by [SbCl6 ]3- -induced self-trapped state, which is responsible for the PL enhancement. The high luminescence efficiency and negligible self-absorption of the Cs3 TbCl6 : Sb nanoscintillator enable a more sensitive X-ray detection response compared with undoped sample. The study opens a new perspective to deeply understand the excited state dynamics of metal halide NCs, which helps to design high-performance luminescent lanthanide-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) have demonstrated remarkable potential for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This is because of their high photoluminescence quantum yield, defect tolerance, tunable emission wavelength, color purity, and high device efficiency. However, the environmental toxicity of Pb has impeded their commercial viability owing to the restriction of hazardous substances directive. Therefore, Pb-free PeNCs have emerged as a promising solution for the development of eco-friendly LEDs. This review article presents a detailed analysis of the various compositions of Pb-free PeNCs, including tin-, bismuth-, antimony-, and copper-based perovskites and double perovskites, focusing on their stability, optoelectronic properties, and device performance in LEDs. Furthermore, we address the challenges encountered in using Pb-free PeNC-LEDs and discuss the prospects and potential of these Pb-free PeNCs as sustainable alternatives to lead-based PeLEDs. In this review, we aim to shed light on the current state of Pb-free PeNC LEDs and highlight their significance in driving the development of eco-friendly LED technologies.

Abstract
Heavy-metal (Cd, Hg, and Pb)-containing semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been explored widely due to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, the toxicity risks of heavy metals can be a drawback of heavy-metal-containing NCs in some applications. Anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs are desirable replacements and can be realized following the establishment of anisotropic growth mechanisms. These anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs can possess lower toxicity risks, while still exhibiting unique optical and electrical properties originating from both the morphological and compositional anisotropy. As a result, they are promising light-emitting materials in use various applications. In this review, we provide an overview on the syntheses, properties, and applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs. In the first section, we discuss hazards of heavy metals and introduce the typical heavy-metal-containing and heavy-metal-free NCs. In the next section, we discuss anisotropic growth mechanisms, including solution-liquid-solid (SLS), oriented attachment, ripening, templated-assisted growth, and others. We discuss mechanisms leading both to morphological anisotropy and to compositional anisotropy. Examples of morphological anisotropy include growth of nanorods (NRs)/nanowires (NWs), nanotubes, nanoplatelets (NPLs)/nanosheets, nanocubes, and branched structures. Examples of compositional anisotropy, including heterostructures and core/shell structures, are summarized. Third, we provide insights into the properties of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs including optical polarization, fast electron transfer, localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), and so on, which originate from the NCs' anisotropic morphologies and compositions. Finally, we summarize some applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs including catalysis, solar cells, photodetectors, lighting-emitting diodes (LEDs), and biological applications. Despite the huge progress on the syntheses and applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs, some issues still exist in the novel anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs and the corresponding energy conversion applications. Therefore, we also discuss the challenges of this field and provide possible solutions to tackle these challenges in the future.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) halide perovskite nanocrystals, with the general formula APbX3 , where A=CH3 NH3+ , CH(NH2 )2+ , or Cs+ and X=Cl- , Br- , or I- , have emerged as a class of materials with promising properties due to their remarkable optical properties and solar cell performance. However, important issues still need to be addressed to enable practical applications of these materials, such as instability, mass production, and Pb toxicity. Recent studies have carried out the replacement of Pb by various less-toxic cations as Sn, Ge, Sb, and Bi. This variety of chemical compositions provide Pb-free perovskite and metal halide nanostructures with a wide spectral range, in addition to being considered less toxic, therefore having greater practical applicability. Highlighting the necessity to address and solve the toxicity problems related to Pb-containing perovskite, this review considers the prospects of the Pb-free perovskite, involving synthesis methods, and properties of them, including advantages, disadvantages, and applications.

Abstract
Wearable, portable, and biocompatible optoelectronic devices made of all-green and abundant materials and fabricated by low-temperature solution method are the key point in the development of next generation of intelligent optoelectronics. However, this is usually limited by the weaknesses of mono-component materials, such as non-adjustable photoresponse region, high carrier recombination rate, high signal-to-noise ratio, as well as the weak mechanical flexibility of bulk films. In this work, the Cs3Cu2I5/ZnO heterostructure flexible photodetectors were constructed by a low-temperature solution method combined with spin-coating technique. The heterostructure combines the low dark current and strong deep ultraviolet absorption of Cs3Cu2I5 quantum dots with the high carrier mobility of ZnO quantum dots as well as the efficient charge separation of the vertical p-n junction, to improve the photodetection performance. The heterostructure shows enhanced light/dark current ratio and ultraviolet-to-visible rejection ratios. Under an illumination of 280 nm light, an optical detectivity as high as 1.26 × 1011 Jones was obtained; the optical responsivity and response time are much better than those of control devices. After 300 times of 180° bending cycles, the photocurrent had no obvious change. The results demonstrate that the Cs3Cu2I5/ZnO heterostructure has great potential in wearable and portable visible-blind ultraviolet optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
We conducted ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and nonadiabatic MD to simulate polaron formation and recombination in all-inorganic Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite. The meticulously designed AIMD simulations show that two types of small hole polaron, including localized and semidelocalized small hole polaron on either an intralayer or an interlayer Br dimer, are adiabatically formed within 1.71 ps. The localized small hole polaron reduces nonadiabatic coupling and decoherence time and, thus, delays charge recombination to 213 ns. In contrast, the dominant semidelocalized polaron increases nonadiabatic coupling by enhancing electron-hole overlap and restores the energy gap and decoherence time to the pristine system, accelerating recombination to 4.7 ns compared to a 10 ns charge carrier lifetime in the pristine system. All the obtained time scales agree well with experiments. The study offers a fundamental understanding of the excited-state dynamics of small hole polaron in Cs3Bi2Br9 and helps to design high-performance perovskite optoelectronics and photovoltaics.

Abstract
Lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with isolated octahedral structures have attracted considerable attention due to their unique photoelectric properties, such as highly efficient emissions with broadband features. A series of phosphors composed of Sb3+-doped 0D perovskite crystals Cs3ZnCl5 with wavelength-tunable emission spectra have been obtained using a facile recrystallization method at room temperature in air. By controlling the doping concentration of Sb3+ in Cs3ZnCl5 lattice, bright emissions from red to orange have been achieved under excitation at 320 nm due to the expansion of the crystal lattice, and the emission excited at 275 nm is bluish-white, spanning the full visible region. Inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP) demonstrates the Sb3+ substitutes for Zn2+ rather than Cs+ due to the similar charges and ionic radii. The luminescence performance of phosphor Cs3ZnCl5:Sb3+ can be improved obviously by replacing 3 mol% of Cs+ with Rb+ or K+ due to the further distortion of the crystal lattice. The present approach allows the synthesis of large-scale emissive lead-free 0D perovskites activated by Sb3+ with tunable luminescence color.

Abstract
Herein, we investigate the role of Eu3+ doping on CH3NH3PbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) in terms of their optoelectronic properties and photodetection application through a combined experimental and theoretical approach. The introduction of EuCl3 in the CH3NH3PbBr3 crystal structure by a facile solvothermal method enabled the tuning of the lateral and vertical dimensions of the NSs to form large-area NPLs and finally monolayer nanocrystals. The appearance of low-angle diffraction peaks with Eu doping, which are observed in layered perovskite structures, confirms the formation of quasi-2D NPLs. The bandgap of the Eu-doped mixed halide perovskite systematically increases from 2.39 eV to 2.94 eV with increasing doping concentration. Interestingly, 10 mol% EuCl3 doping in the pure CH3NH3PbBr3 crystal dramatically enhances its absorbance and photosensitivity, resulting in high-performance photodetection. Under 405 nm excitation, the CH3NH3Pb0.9Eu0.1Br2.7Cl0.3 photodetector exhibits self-biased behavior with an on/off ratio >103, which is very significant. The planar device achieves a responsivity as high as 5.29 A W- and a detectivity of 1.06 × 1012 Jones under 405 nm with a power density of 0.14 mW cm-2 at 5 V. In addition, the device exhibits very fast response time with a rise/fall time of 17.5/38.5 μs, which is ∼4 times faster than the pristine CH3NH3PbBr3 counterpart. A linear relationship of photocurrent with light intensity in the CH3NH3Pb0.9Eu0.1Br2.7Cl0.3 photodetector signifies low recombination or charge trapping loss. High-performance photodetection in the Eu-doped device is ascribed to the elimination of trap states and the fast charge transfer process. To obtain better insight into the doped system, DFT analysis of the electronic structure of EuCl3-doped CH3NH3PbBr3 was performed and the results are fully consistent with the experimental findings. It was revealed that EuCl3 doping increases the density of states near the conduction band along with a blue shift in the bandgap as compared to that of the pristine perovskite, which in turn increases the built-in potential of the fabricated device, resulting in self-biased photodetection. This work paves the way for deeper understanding of lanthanide doping in perovskites and self-biased photodetection applications of a new family of Eu-doped mixed halide perovskite nanostructures.

Abstract
Colloidally grown nanosized semiconductors yield extremely high-quality optoelectronic materials. Many examples have pointed to near perfect photoluminescence quantum yields, allowing for technology-leading materials such as high purity color centers in display technology. Furthermore, because of high chemical yield, and improved understanding of the surfaces, these materials, particularly colloidal quantum dots (QDs) can also be ideal candidates for other optoelectronic applications. Given the urgent necessity toward carbon neutrality, electricity from solar photovoltaics will play a large role in the power generation sector. QDs are developed and shown dramatic improvements over the past 15 years as photoactive materials in photovoltaics with various innovative deposition properties which can lead to exceptionally low-cost and high-performance devices. Once the key issues related to charge transport in optically thick arrays are addressed, QD-based photovoltaic technology can become a better candidate for practical application. In this article, the authors show how the possibilities of different deposition techniques can bring QD-based solar cells to the industrial level and discuss the challenges for perovskite QD solar cells in particular, to achieve large-area fabrication for further advancing technology to solve pivotal energy and environmental issues.

Abstract
In this work we synthesized vacancy-ordered lead-free layered double perovskite (LDP) nanoparticles. This structure consists of two layers of trivalent metal halide octahedra [B(III)X6]3- separated by a layer of divalent metal [B(II)X6]4- (B is a divalent or trivalent metal). The chemical formula of this structure is based on A4B(II)B(III)2X12 where A is Cs, B(III) is Bi, X is Cl and B(II) is a different ratio between Mn2+ and Cd2+. Well-defined colloidal nanoplates of Cs4CdxMn1-xBi2Cl12 were successfully synthesized. These nanoplates show photoluminescence (PL) in the orange to red region that can be tuned by changing the Cd/Mn ratio. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) and atomic resolution elemental analysis were performed on these lead free LDP nanoplates revealing two different particle compositions that can be controlled by the Cd/Mn ratio. Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) reveal the band gap structure of these LDP nanoplates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show the existence of [MnCl6]4- in-gap states. While the absorption occurs from the valence band maximum (VBM) to the conduction band minimum (CBM), the emission may occur from the CBM to an in-gap band maximum (IGM), which could explain the PL in the orange to red region of these nanoplates. This work provides a detailed picture of the chemical and electronic properties of LDP nanoparticles.

Abstract
Water-stable, lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) organic-inorganic hybrid colloidal tin(IV) perovskite, A2SnX6 (A is a monocationic organic ion and X is a halide) nanocrystals (NCs) with high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) have rarely been explored. Herein, we report solution-processed colloidal NCs of blue light-emitting T2SnCl6 and orange light-emitting T2Sn1-xSbxCl6 [T+ = tetramethylammonium cation] from their corresponding single crystals (SCs). These colloidal NCs are well-dispersible in non-polar solvents, thereby maintaining their bright emission. This paves the way for fabricating homogeneous thin films of these NCs. Due to organic cation (T+)-controlled large spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the T2Sn1-xSbxCl6 NCs exhibit bright orange emission with an enhancement in PL QY of 41% compared to their bulk counterpart. Furthermore, we explore T2Sn1-xBixCl6 and T2Sn1-x-yBixSbyCl6 SCs, which show blue and green emission, respectively; the latter is attributed to the newly formed Sb 5p and Sb 5 s orbital-driven band structures confirmed by applying density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The SCs and NCs exhibit excellent stability in water under ambient conditions because of the in-situ generation of a hydrophobic and oxygen-resistant passivating layer of oxychloride in the presence of water. Our findings open a pathway for designing lead-free perovskites materials for thin-film-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are emerging luminescent materials with superior optical properties. However, the light-conversion application of NCs is restricted by reabsorption-induced fluorescent quenching. Here, a NC-NC Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system is developed by employing large CsPbBr3 NCs as donors and CdSe/CdS NCs as acceptors. The FRET systems using toluene and octadecene as solvents show decreases of 10% and 14%, respectively, in the integrated photoluminescence (PL) intensity, far below the reabsorption loss observed in concentrated CdSe/CdS NCs (>30%) at the same color purity. Notably, we demonstrate by transient absorption measurements that the styrene-mediated FRET system involves a Dexter energy transfer process, which enables the harvesting of triplet excitons and leads to an additional PL enhancement at system level by a maximum of 40% instead of fluorescence quenching. The remarkably improved light-conversion efficiency and antiquenching property make the proposed NC-NC system superior in light down-conversion applications.

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
In order to overcome the toxicity of lead halide perovskites, in recent years the research has focused on replacing lead with more environmentally friendly metals like tin, germanium, bismuth or antimony. However, lead-free perovskites still present instability issues and low performances that do not make them competitive when compared to their lead-based counterparts. Here we report the synthesis of lead-free Cs2SnX6 (X = Br, I) nanostructures of different shapes by using various surface ligands. These compounds are a promising alternative to lead halide perovskites in which the replacement of divalent lead (Pb(II)) with tetravalent tin (Sn(IV)) causes a modification of the standard perovskite structure. We investigate the effects of different amines on the morphology and size of Cs2SnX6 (X = Br, I) nanocrystals, presenting a facile hot-infection method to directly synthesize three-dimensional (3D) nanoparticles as well as two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets. The amines not only modify the shape of the crystals, but also affect their optical properties: increasing the length of the amine carbon chain we observe a widening in the bandgap of the compounds and a blue-shift of their emission peak. Alongside the tuning of the chemical composition and the reduction of the crystal size, our study offers a new insight in controlling the physical properties of perovskite nanocrystals by means of the capping ligands, paving the way for future research on lead-free materials.

Abstract
We report the optical and scintillation properties of (C6H5CH2NH3)2SnBr4 with excellent absorption length at 20 keV of 0.016 cm, measured bandgap of 2.51 eV, and photoluminescence lifetime of 1.05 μs. The light yield obtained with the 241Am source is 3600 ± 600 photons per MeV, which is much smaller than the maximum attainable light yield obtained from the bandgap. Temperature dependent radioluminescence measurements confirm the presence of thermal quenching at room temperature with the activation energy and the ratio between the attempt and the radiative transition rates of 61 meV and 129, respectively. Although thermal quenching affects light yield at room temperature, this green light-emitting perovskite opens an avenue for new lead-free scintillating materials. A new tin perovskite material with green emission is investigated as a new scintillator for imaging readout. Temperature dependent measurements were studied to understand the mechanism and to improve the future lead-free scintillator.![]()

Abstract
We review some of the most potent directions in the design of materials for next-generation solar cell and light-emitting technologies that go beyond traditional solid-state inorganic semiconductor-based devices, from both the experimental and computational standpoints. We focus on selected recent conceptual advances in tackling issues which are expected to significantly impact applied literature in the coming years. Specifically, we consider solution processability, design of dopant-free charge transport materials, two-dimensional conjugated polymeric semiconductors, and colloidal quantum dot assemblies in the fields of experimental synthesis, characterization, and device fabrication. Key modeling issues that we consider are calculations of optical properties and of effects of aggregation, including recent advances in methods beyond linear-response time-dependent density functional theory and recent insights into the effects of correlation when going beyond the single-particle ansatz as well as in the context of modeling of thermally activated fluorescence.

Abstract
The doping of halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with manganese cations (Mn2+ ) has recently enabled enhanced stability, novel optical properties, and modulated charge carrier dynamics of the NCs host. However, the influence of Mn doping on the synthetic routes and the band structures of the host has not yet been elucidated. Herein, it is demonstrated that Mn doping promotes a facile, safe, and low-hazard path toward the synthesis of ternary Cs3 Bi2 I9 NCs by effectively inhibiting the impurity phase (i.e., CsI) resulting from the decomposition of the intermediate Cs3 BiI6 product. Furthermore, it is observed that the deepening of the valence band level of the host NCs upon doping at Mn concentration levels varying from 0 to 18.5% (atomic ratio) with respect to the Bi content. As a result, the corresponding Mn-doped NCs solar cells show a higher open-circuit voltage and longer electron lifetime than those employing the undoped perovskite NCs. This work opens new insights on the role of Mn doping in the synthetic route and optoelectronic properties of lead-free halide perovskite NCs for still unexplored applications.

Abstract
Lead-halide perovskites have demonstrated astonishing increases in power conversion efficiency in photovoltaics over the last decade. The most efficient perovskite devices now outperform industry-standard multi-crystalline silicon solar cells, despite the fact that perovskites are typically grown at low temperature using simple solution-based methods. However, the toxicity of lead and its ready solubility in water are concerns for widespread implementation. These challenges, alongside the many successes of the perovskites, have motivated significant efforts across multiple disciplines to find lead-free and stable alternatives which could mimic the ability of the perovskites to achieve high performance with low temperature, facile fabrication methods. This Review discusses the computational and experimental approaches that have been taken to discover lead-free perovskite-inspired materials, and the recent successes and challenges in synthesizing these compounds. The atomistic origins of the extraordinary performance exhibited by lead-halide perovskites in photovoltaic devices is discussed, alongside the key challenges in engineering such high-performance in alternative, next-generation materials. Beyond photovoltaics, this Review discusses the impact perovskite-inspired materials have had in spurring efforts to apply new materials in other optoelectronic applications, namely light-emitting diodes, photocatalysts, radiation detectors, thin film transistors and memristors. Finally, the prospects and key challenges faced by the field in advancing the development of perovskite-inspired materials towards realization in commercial devices is discussed.

Abstract
Recently, halide perovskites have emerged as a promising material for device applications. Lead-based perovskites have been widely explored, while investigation of the optical properties of lead-free perovskites remains limited. Lead-halide perovskite single crystals have shown light-induced positive photoconductivity, and as lead-free perovskites are optically active, they are expected to demonstrate similar properties. However, we report here light-induced negative photoconductivity with slow recovery in lead-free Cs3Bi2Cl9 perovskite. Femtosecond transient reflectance (fs-TR) spectroscopy studies further reveal that these electronic transport properties are due to the formation of light-activated metastable trap states within the perovskite crystal. The figure of merits were calculated for Cs3Bi2Cl9 single-crystal detectors, including responsivity (17 mA/W), detectivity (6.23 × 1011 Jones), and the ratio of current in dark to light (∼7160). These observations for Cs3Bi2Cl9 single crystals, which were optically active but showed retroactive photocurrent on irradiation, remain unique for such materials.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskites have received great attention in light-emitting applications due to their excellent properties, including high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), tunable emission wavelength, and facile solution preparation. In spite of excellent characteristics, the presence of toxic element lead directly obstructs their further commercial development. Hence, exploiting lead-free halide perovskite materials with superior properties is urgent and necessary. In this review, the deep-seated reasons that benefit light emission for halide perovskites, which help to develop lead-free halide perovskites with excellent performance, are first emphasized. Recent advances in lead-free halide perovskite materials (single crystals, thin films, and nanocrystals with different dimensionalities) from synthesis, crystal structures, optical and optoelectronic properties to applications are then systematically summarized. In particular, phosphor-converted LEDs and electroluminescent LEDs using lead-free halide perovskites are fully examined. Ultimately, based on current development of lead-free halide perovskites, the future directions of lead-free halide perovskites in terms of materials and light-emitting devices are discussed.

Abstract
Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted extensive attention for photoelectric device application due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the toxicity of lead has hindered their commercialization. Consequently, lead free cesium metal halide NCs have been developed, but these materials suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and poor stability. Here, a new class of lead-free non-perovskite blue-emitting cesium bromine (CsBr) and cesium iodine (CsI) halide NCs are realized by zinc doping. High PLQYs of 79.05% and 78.95% are achieved by CsBr:Zn and CsI:Zn NCs, respectively, attributed to the improved local structural order and reduced strain between the lattices of the NCs after storing under ambient conditions for 20 to 30 days. Moreover, zinc doped cesium halide NCs show excellent air stability for at least 50 days. Our results for zinc doped cesium halide NCs have shown a new avenue to fabricate lead-free halide NCs for blue lighting and display applications.

Abstract
Lead-free perovskites and their analogues have been extensively studied as a class of next-generation luminescent and optoelectronic materials. Herein, we report the synthesis of new colloidal Cs4M(ii)Bi2Cl12 (M(ii) = Cd, Mn) nanocrystals (NCs) with unique luminescence properties. The obtained Cs4M(ii)Bi2Cl12 NCs show a layered double perovskite (LDP) crystal structure with good particle stability. Density functional theory calculations show that both samples exhibit a wide, direct bandgap feature. Remarkably, the strong Mn-Mn coupling effect of the Cs4M(ii)Bi2Cl12 NCs results in an ultra-short Mn photoluminescence (PL) decay lifetime of around 10 μs, around two orders of magnitude faster than commonly observed Mn2+ dopant emission in NCs. Diluting the Mn2+ ion concentration through forming Cs4(Cd1-xMnx)Bi2Cl12 (0 < x < 1) alloyed LDP NCs leads to prolonged PL lifetimes and enhanced PL quantum yields. Our study provides the first synthetic example of Bi-based LDP colloidal NCs with potential for serving as a new category of stable lead-free perovskite-type materials for various applications.

Abstract
All-inorganic Pb-free bismuth (Bi) halogen perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) with distinct structural and photoelectric properties provide plenty of room for selective photoreduction of CO2. However, the efficient conversion of CO2-to-CO with high selectivity on Bi-based PQDs driven by solar light remains unachieved, and the precise reaction path/mechanism promoted by the surface halogen-associated active sites is still poorly understood. Herein, we screen a series of nontoxic and stable Cs3Bi2X9 (X = Cl, Br, I) PQDs for selective photocatalytic reduction of CO2-to-CO at the gas-solid interface. Among all the reported pure-phase PQDs, the as-synthesized Cs3Bi2Br9 PQDs exhibited the highest CO2-to-CO conversion efficiency generating 134.76 μmol g-1 of CO yield with 98.7% selectivity under AM 1.5G simulated solar illumination. The surface halogen-associated active sites and reaction intermediates were dynamically monitored and precisely unraveled based on in situ DRIFTS investigation. In combination with the DFT calculation, it was revealed that the surface Br sites allow for optimizing the coordination modes of surface-bound intermediate species and reducing the reaction energy of the rate-limiting step of COOH- intermediate formation from •CO2-. This work presents a mechanistic insight into the halogen-involved catalytic reaction mechanism in solar fuel production.

Abstract
Lead-halide perovskites have attracted much attention over the past decade, while two main issues, i.e., the lead-induced toxicity and materials' instability, limit their further practice in widespread applications. To overcome these limitations, an effective alternative is to design lead-free perovskite materials with the substitution of two divalent lead ions with a pair of monovalent and trivalent metal ions. However, fundamental physics and chemistry about how tuning material's composition affects the crystal phase, electronic band structures, and optoelectronic properties of the material have yet to be fully understood. In this work, we conducted a series of density functional theory calculations to explore the mechanism that how various monovalent metal ions influence the crystal and electronic structures of lead-free Cs2MBiCl6 perovskites. We found that the Cs2MBiCl6 (M = Ag, Cu, and Na) perovskites preferred a cubic double perovskite phase with low carrier effective masses, while the Cs2MBiCl6 (M = K, Rb, and Cs) perovskites favored a monoclinic phase with relatively high carrier effective masses. The different crystal phase preferences were attributed to the different radii of monovalent metal cations and the orbital hybridization between the metal and Cl ions. The calculation showed that all Cs2MBiCl6 perovskites studied here exhibited indirect bandgaps. Smaller bandgap energies for the perovskites with a cubic phase were calculated than those of the monoclinic phase counterparts. Charge density difference calculation and electron localization functional analysis were also conducted and revealed that the carrier mobility can be improved via changing the characteristics of metal-halide bonds through compositional and, thus, crystal structure tuning. Our study shown here sheds light on the future design and fabrication of various lead-free perovskite materials for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Underwater lighting is important for the exploration of the underwater world in different areas. It is of great significance for developing underwater emitters with high penetrability, high luminous efficiency, good anti-water stability, and environmental friendliness. Stable lead-free perovskite luminescent materials, represented by vacancy-ordered double perovskites, are worthy of research because they can almost meet the above requirements. Here, lead-free perovskite variant solid solutions with the formula of Cs2 Sn1- x Tex Cl6 are reported. Upon the exchange of Sn/Te ions, strong Jahn-Teller distortion of octahedra occurs in the lattice structure. The combination of Te luminescent center and Jahn-Teller-like self-trapped excitons gives this material yellow-green luminescence with a wavelength of 580 nm and a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 95.4%. Moreover, these solid solutions can withstand the extreme conditions of immersion in water probably due to the formation of amorphous alteration phase. Such good anti-water stability is also supported by the molecule dynamics simulation result that no reaction occurs on the water/Cs2 SnCl6 interface. The high luminous, suitable wavelength, and good anti-water stability enable the solid solutions suitable for the application for underwater lighting.

Abstract
Despite the great success in the increase in the power conversion efficiency of lead halide perovskite solar cells, the toxicity of lead and the unstable nature of the materials are still major concerns for their wider implementation at the industrial level. Herein, large-size single crystals (SCs) are developed in HI solution by using a temperature lowering method and nanocrystals (NCs) of A3 Bi2 I9 perovskites [where A=CH3 NH3 + (MA)+ , Cs+ , and (Rb0.05 Cs2.95 )+ ] are formed in ethanol (EtOH) and toluene (TOL). The stability of A3 Bi2 I9 perovskite is investigated by immersing the SCs for 24 h and pellets for 12 h in water. Moreover, the A3 Bi2 I9 perovskite NCs displays a promising photoluminescence quantum yield of 17.63 % and a long lifetime of 8.20 ns.

Abstract
Recently, newly emerging lead halide perovskites have attracted great attention as a new class of light emitters in luminescent devices because of their superior photoluminescence quantum yield, adjustable emission wavelength, high charge-carrier transport ability, and low-temperature processing technique. However, the poor stability and lead toxicity of such materials severely restrict their practical applications and future commercialization. Therefore, recent efforts have been devoted to developing lead-free metal halide perovskites and their derivatives to address the above hurdles. In this Perspective, we first review the recent progress on the lead-free metal halide materials and their optical properties. We then discuss the stability issues of lead-free perovskites against heat, ultraviolet light, oxygen, and moisture. Further, we give a demonstration of the preliminary achievements and limitations in lead-free material-based light-emitting devices. Finally, we present current existing challenges and possible development opportunities in this field based on lead-free material systems.

Abstract
Concerns about the toxicity of lead-based perovskites have aroused great interest for the development of alternative lead-free perovskite-type materials. Recently, theoretical calculations predict that Pb2+ cations can be substituted by a combination of Cu2+ and Sb3+ cations to form a vacancy-ordered layered double perovskite structure with superior optoelectronic properties. However, accessibilities to this class of perovskite-type materials remain inadequate, hindering their practical implementations in various applications. Here, we report the first colloidal synthesis of Cs4CuSb2Cl12 perovskite-type nanocrystals (NCs). The resulting NCs exhibit a layered double perovskite structure with ordered vacancies and a direct band gap of 1.79 eV. A composition-structure-property relationship has been established by investigating a series of Cs4CuxAg2-2xSb2Cl12 perovskite-type NCs (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). The composition induced crystal structure transformation, and thus, the electronic band gap evolution has been explored by experimental observations and further confirmed by theoretical calculations. Taking advantage of both the unique electronic structure and solution processability, we demonstrate that the Cs4CuSb2Cl12 NCs can be solution-processed as high-speed photodetectors with ultrafast photoresponse and narrow bandwidth. We anticipate that our study will prompt future research to design and fabricate novel and high-performance lead-free perovskite-type NCs for a range of applications.

Abstract
Lead-based organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have been developed for advanced optoelectronic applications. However, the toxicity of lead and the chemical instability of lead-based perovskite materials have so far been demonstrated to be an overwhelming challenge. The discovery of perovskite materials based on low-toxicity elements, such as Sn, Bi, Sb, Ge, and Cu, with superior optoelectronic properties provides alternative approaches to realize high-performance perovskite optoelectronics. In this review, recent advances in the aspects of low-toxicity perovskite solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and thermoelectric devices are highlighted. The antioxidation stability of metal cation and the crystallization process of the low-toxicity perovskite materials are discussed. In the last part, the outlook toward addressing various issues requiring further attention in the development of low-toxicity perovskite materials is outlined.

Abstract
Because of the toxicity of lead, searching for a lead-free halide perovskite semiconducting material with comparable optical and electronic properties is of great interest. Rare-earth-based halide perovskite represents a promising class of materials for this purpose. In this work, we demonstrate the solution-phase synthesis of single-crystalline CsEuCl3 nanocrystals with a uniform size distribution centered around 15 nm. The CsEuCl3 nanocrystals have photoluminescence emission centered at 435 nm, with a full width at half-maximum of 19 nm. Furthermore, CsEuCl3 nanocrystals can be embedded in a polymer matrix that provides enhanced stability under continuous laser irradiation. Lead-free rare-earth cesium europium halide perovskite nanocrystals represent a promising candidate to replace lead halide perovskites.

Abstract
Great successes have been achieved in developing perovskite light-emitting devices (LEDs) with blue, green, red, and near-infrared emissions. However, as key optoelectronic devices, yellow-colored perovskite LEDs remain challenging, mainly due to the inevitable halide separation in mixed halide perovskites under high bias, causing undesired color change of devices. In addition to this color-missing problem, the intrinsic toxicity and poor stability of conventional lead-halide perovskites also restrict their practical applications. We herein report the fabrication of stable yellow LEDs based on a ternary copper halide CsCu2I3, addressing the color instability and toxicity issues facing current perovskite yellow LED's compromise. Joint experiment-theory characterizations indicate that the yellow electroluminescence originates from the broadband emission of self-trapped excitons centered at 550 nm as well as the comparable and reasonably low carrier effective masses favorable for charge transport. With a maximum luminance of 47.5 cd/m2 and an external quantum efficiency of 0.17%, the fabricated yellow LEDs exhibit a long half-lifetime of 5.2 h at 25 °C and still function properly at 60 °C with a half-lifetime of 2.2 h, which benefits from the superior resistance of CsCu2I3 to heat, moisture, and oxidation in ambient environmental conditions. The results obtained promise the copper halides with broadband light emission as an environment-friendly and stable yellow emitter for the LEDs compatible with practical applications.

Abstract
Lead-free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently attracted attention due to their nontoxicity and stability as alternatives to lead-based perovskite NCs. Here, we report undoped and manganese-doped all-inorganic, lead-free double perovskite (DP) NCs: Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6 (0 < x < 1) and Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6:Mn (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) NCs. Undoped NCs exhibit blue emission. Through doping Mn2+ ions into Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6 NCs, we can avoid self-trapped exciton emission and realize bright orange red emission of Mn2+ dopants with the highest photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 44.6%. The photoluminescence (PL) is tunable from yellow emission to orange-red emission corresponding to a red shift from 583 to 614 nm with increasing In content. Interestingly, the PL emission of Mn-doped NCs shows a red shift from the bulk size to the nanoscale. The Mn-doped NCs show good stability in air. In addition, we further prove the process of dark self-trapped state-assisted Mn2+ emission in DP NCs by ultrafast transient absorption techniques.

Abstract
Perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are now approaching the upper limits of external quantum efficiency (EQE); however, their application is currently limited by reliance on lead and by inadequate color purity. The Rec. 2020 requires Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.708, 0.292) for red emitters, but present-day perovskite devices only achieve (0.71, 0.28). Here, lead-free PeLEDs are reported with color coordinates of (0.706, 0.294)-the highest purity reported among red PeLEDs. The variation of the emission spectrum is also evaluated as a function of temperature and applied potential, finding that emission redshifts by <3 nm under low temperature and by <0.3 nm V-1 with operating voltage. The prominent oxidation pathway of Sn is identified and this is suppressed with the aid of H3PO2. This strategy prevents the oxidation of the constituent precursors, through both its moderate reducing properties and through its forming complexes with the perovskite that increase the energetic barrier toward Sn oxidation. The H3PO2 additionally seeds crystal growth during film formation, improving film quality. PeLEDs are reported with an EQE of 0.3% and a brightness of 70 cd m-2; this is the record among reported red-emitting, lead-free PeLEDs.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites are promising candidates as next-generation emitting materials for lighting and displays due to their superior properties. However, the toxicity of lead content severely limits their practical applications. Although lead-free Sn-based and Bi-based perovskites (Cs3Bi2Br9, MA3Bi2Br9) are reported, they all suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Here, we report the synthesis of lead-free FA3Bi2Br9 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) and their optical characterization. Through a facile ligand-assisted solution process, the as-synthesized FA3Bi2Br9 QDs exhibit a bright blue emission at 437 nm with a high PLQY of 52%. As to the origins, the observed high exciton binding energy (274.6 meV), direct bandgap nature and low defect density are proposed to guarantee the exciton generation and efficient radiative recombination. Besides, the FA3Bi2Br9 QDs show a good air stability and ethanol stability. A lead-free perovskite blue light-emitting diodes (LED) was successfully fabricated by combining FA3Bi2Br9 QDs/PS composites with a UV light chip. Our results highlight the potential of lead-free perovskites for applications in light-emitting devices.

Abstract
Motivated by the air pollution that skyrocketed in numerous regions around the world, great effort was placed on discovering new classes of materials that separate, sense or convert CO2 in order to minimise impact on human health. However, separation, sensing and conversion are not only closely intertwined due to the ultimate goal of improving human well-being, but also because of similarities in material prerequisites -e.g. affinity to CO2. Partly inspired by the unrivalled performance of complex natural materials, manifold inorganic-organic hybrids were developed. One of the most important characteristics of hybrids is their design flexibility, which results from the combination of individual constituents with specific functionality. In this review, we discuss commonly used organic, inorganic, and inherently hybrid building blocks for applications in separation, sensing and catalytic conversion and highlight benefits like durability, activity, low-cost and large scale fabrication. Moreover, we address obstacles and potential future developments of hybrid materials. This review should inspire young researchers in chemistry, physics and engineering to identify and overcome interdisciplinary research challenges by performing academic research but also - based on the ever-stricter emission regulations like carbon taxes - through exchanges between industry and science.

Abstract
Recently, the discovery and development of lead-free perovskite quantum dots (QDs) that are eco-friendly and stable has become an active research area in low-cost lighting and display fields. However, the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) caused by the residual surface states of such QDs severely hinders their practical applications and commercialization. In this work, a strategy of employing water-induced nanocomposites was proposed to improve the PLQY of cesium bismuth halide (Cs3Bi2X9) QDs, and a substantial enhancement by ∼130% (from 20.2% to 46.4%) was achieved by an optimized water treatment of Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs. A detailed analysis indicated that Cs3Bi2Br9/BiOBr nanocomposites, in which the Cs3Bi2Br9 QD core was encapsulated into a BiOBr matrix, can effectively suppress the surface defects of QDs, resulting in a longer PL lifetime and a larger exciton binding energy compared with the pristine sample. Finally, the Cs3Bi2Br9/BiOBr nanocomposites were used as the color-converting phosphors for down-conversion white light-emitting devices, which show a good operation stability in ambient air, significantly better than the reference device constructed with conventional lead-halide perovskites. We believe that the method used here provides an effective strategy to improve the fluorescence efficiency of lead-free perovskite QDs, which will create opportunities for their applications in lighting and displays.

Abstract
A synthetic method for uniform and pure Cs3Sb2Br9 NCs has been developed. Cs3Sb2Br9 NCs exhibit a 10-fold increase in activity for the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction compared to CsPbBr3 NCs, achieving 510 μmol CO g-1 cat. after 4 h. Density functional theory shows that Cs3Sb2Br9 surfaces sufficiently expose Sb to allow reactivity, as opposed to the unreactive CsPbBr3 surface.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystals of a novel fully inorganic lead-free zero-dimensional perovskite, Cs4SnBr6. Samples are made of crystals with an average size of ∼20 nm with green emission centered around 530 nm. Interestingly, both colloidal suspensions and thin films show an enhanced air stability with respect to that of any other previous tin-based nanocrystalline system, with emission persisting for tens of hours under laboratory air.

Abstract
Nanocrystals of Cs2SnX6 (X = Cl, Br, Br0.5I0.5, and I) have been prepared by a simple, optimized, hot-injection method, reporting for the first time the synthesis of Cs2SnCl6, Cs2SnBr6, and mixed Cs2Sn(I0.5Br0.5)6 nanocrystalline samples. They all show a cubic crystal structure with a linear scaling of lattice parameter by changing the halide size. The prepared nanocrystals have spherical shape with average size from 3 to 6 nm depending on the nature of the halide and span an emission range from 444 nm (Cs2SnCl6) to 790 nm (Cs2SnI6) with a further modulation provided by mixed Br/I systems.
