Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) have attracted great attention as one of promising semiconductor nanomaterials due to their large exciton binding energy and narrow emission spectra. However, the labile ionic and weakly bound surfaces of deep-blue emitting CsPbBr3 NPLs with wide bandgap result in their colloidal instability, thus degrading their optical properties. It is challenging to obtain deep-blue emitting CsPbBr3 NPLs with excellent optical properties. In this study, high-quality blue-emitting CsPbBr3 NPLs with tunable thickness were prepared adopting the DBSA-mediated confinement effect based on the hot-injection method. Thanks to the coordination interaction of - SO3- of DBSA ligand and the Pb2+ on the surface of the CsPbBr3 NPLs, as well as the effective passivation of Br vacancy defects on the surface of NPLs by OAm-Br, the obtained pure-blue CsPbBr3 NPLs and deep-blue CsPbBr3 NPLs show high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 92 % and 81.2 %, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest PLQY recorded for deep-blue emitting CsPbBr3 NPLs with two monolayers [PbBr6]4- octahedra. Furthermore, the agglomeration of CsPbBr3 NPLs due to ligand loss induced by moisture, oxygen, and irradiation was also suppressed by the dual passivation effect of DBSA and OAm-Br. Our work provided a new approach to developing high-performance and stable deep-blue emitting CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelets.

Abstract
Over more than a decade, lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have been popular as a next-generation semiconductor for optoelectronics. Later, all-inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized via supersaturated recrystallization (SR) at room temperature (RT). However, compared to the hot injection (HI) method, the formation mechanism of NCs via SR-RT has not been well studied. Hence, this study will contribute to elucidating SR-RT based on the LaMer model and Hansen solubility parameter. Herein, we also demonstrate the entropy-driven mixing between two dissimilar polar-nonpolar (DMF-toluene) solvents. Next, we find that, in a poor solvent (toluene ≫ DMF in volume), ∼60 nm sized CsPbBr3 NCs were synthesized in one step, whereas in a marginal solvent (toluene ≈ DMF), ∼3.5 nm sized NCs were synthesized in two steps, indicating the importance of solvent polarity, specifically the 'solubility parameter'. In addition, in the presence of a CuBr2 additive, high-quality cubic NCs (with ∼3.8 nm and ∼21.4 nm edge sizes) were synthesized. Hence, through this study, we present a 'solubility parameter-based nanocrystal-size control model' for SR-RT processes.

Abstract
Metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are one of the most promising emitters for the application of display and nanolight sources. The full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of photoluminescence (PL) emission is essential for color purity, which however remains a difficulty to further reduce the FWHM of the perovskite NCs at room temperature. Here, we show the quasi-sphere perovskite NCs with narrow PL emission at a deep-blue wavelength of ∼430 nm; its PL FWHM reaches ∼11 nm at room temperature, owing to the monodispersion in size distribution as well as the symmetric quasi-sphere morphology of NCs releasing the fine structure splitting-induced inhomogeneous broadening. Through regulating A cations with respect to the ratio of FA (or MA)-to-Cs and Cs-to-Pb, the PL emission of the NCs could be tuned from ∼505 to ∼430 nm combined with varied morphologies from large cube to small quasi-sphere. Such spectroscopic and morphological discrepancies are supposed to be attributed to the different crystalline kinetics that is strongly dependent on the synthetic condition. To be specific, in the case of increasing FA (or MA)-to-Cs, the growth rate of CsPbBr3 and FAPbBr3 (or MAPbBr3) perovskites is determined by the reactivity of transient species, while in the case of decreasing the Cs-to-Pb ratio, the growth rate of perovskites is slowed down by the serious reduction of Cs+ in the precursor. This study provides an effective strategy to adjust the emission across from green to deep-blue color and promotes the perovskite NCs with a narrow FWHM, and tunable PL emission facilitates in application of optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Recently, photodetectors based on perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) have attracted considerable attention in the visible spectral region owing to their large absorption cross-section, high exciton binding energy, excellent charge transfer properties, and appropriate flexibility. However, their stability and performance are still challenging for perovskite NPL photodetectors. Here, a surface engineering strategy to enhance the optical stability of blue-light CsPbBr3 NPLs by acetylenedicarboxylic acid (ATDA) treatment has been developed. ATDA has strong binding capacity and a short chain length, which can effectively passivate defects and significantly improve the photoluminescence quantum efficiency, stability, and carrier mobility of NPLs. As a result, ATDA-treated CsPbBr3 NPLs exhibit improved optical properties in both solutions and films. The NPL solution maintains high PL performance even after being heated at 80 °C for 2 h, and the NPL film remains nondegradable after 4 h of exposure to ultraviolet irradiation. Especially, photodetectors based on the treated CsPbBr3 NPL films demonstrate exceptional performance, especially when the detectivity approaches up to 9.36 × 1012 Jones, which can be comparable to the best CsPbBr3 NPL photodetectors ever reported. More importantly, the assembled devices demonstrated high stability (stored in an air environment for more than 30 days), significantly exceeding that of untreated NPLs.

Abstract
Colloidal lead halide perovskite nanorods have recently emerged as promising optoelectronic materials. However, more information about how shape anisotropy impacts their complex dielectric function is required to aid the development of applications that take advantage of the strongly polarized absorption and emission. Here, we have determined the anisotropy of the complex dielectric function of CsPbBr3 nanorods by analyzing the ensemble absorption spectra in conjunction with the ensemble spectral fluorescence anisotropy. This strategy allows us to distinguish the absorption of light parallel and perpendicular to the main axis so that the real and imaginary components of the dielectric function along each direction can be determined by the use of an iterative matrix inversion (IMI) methodology. We find that quantum confinement gives rise to unique axis-dependent electronic features in the dielectric function that increase the overall fluorescence anisotropy in addition to the optical anisotropy that results from particle shape, even in the absence of quantum confinement. Further, the procedure outlined here provides a strategy for obtaining anisotropic complex dielectric functions of colloidal materials of varying composition and aspect ratios using ensemble solution-phase spectroscopy.

Abstract
Low-dimensional Cu(I)-based metal halide materials are gaining attention due to their low toxicity, high stability and unique luminescence mechanism, which is mediated by self-trapped excitons (STEs). Among them, Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 , which emits blue light, is a promising candidate for applications as a next-generation blue-emitting material. In this article, an optimized colloidal process to synthesize uniform Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 nanocrystals (NCs) with a superior quantum yield (QY) is proposed. In addition, precise control of the synthesis parameters, enabling anisotropic growth and emission wavelength shifting is demonstrated. The synthesized Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs have an excellent photoluminescence (PL) retention rate, even at high temperature, and exhibit high stability over multiple heating-cooling cycles under ambient conditions. Moreover, under 850-nm femtosecond laser irradiation, the NCs exhibit three-photon absorption (3PA)-induced PL, highlighting the possibility of utilizing their nonlinear optical properties. Such thermally stable and highly luminescent Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs with nonlinear optical properties overcome the limitations of conventional blue-emitting nanomaterials. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of the colloidal synthesis of Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs and a foundation for further research.

Abstract
In the synthesis of cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite quantum dots, with an electronic absorption and emission band around 510 nm, and perovskite magic-sized clusters (PMSCs), with an electronic absorption and emission band around 430 nm, another distinct absorption and emission around 400 nm is often observed. While many would attribute this band to small perovskite particles, here we show strong evidence that this band is a result of the formation of lead bromide molecular clusters (PbBr2 MCs) passivated with ligands, which do not contain the A component of the ABX3 perovskite structure. This evidence comes from a systematic comparative study of the reaction products with and without the A component under otherwise identical experimental conditions. The results support that the near 400 nm band originates from ligand-passivated PbBr2 MCs. This observation seems to be quite general and is significant in understanding the nature of the reaction products in the synthesis of metal halide perovskite nanostructures.

Abstract
Semiconducting nanomaterials have been widely explored in diverse optoelectronic applications. Colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently been an excellent addition to the field of nanomaterials, promising an enticing building block in the field of light emission. In addition to the notable optoelectronic properties of perovskites, the colloidal NCs exhibit unique size-dependent optical properties due to the quantum size effect, which makes them highly attractive for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In the past few years, perovskite-based LEDs (PeLEDs) have demonstrated a meteoritic rise in their external quantum efficiency (EQE) values, reaching over 20% so far. Among various halide perovskite compositions, FAPbBr3 and its variants remain one of the most interesting and sought-after compounds for green light emission. This review focuses on recent progress in the design and synthesis protocols of colloidal FAPbBr3 NCs and the emerging concepts in tailoring their surface chemistry. The structural and physicochemical features of lead halide perovskites along with a comprehensive discussion on their defect-tolerant properties are briefly outlined. Later, the prevalent synthesis, ligand, and compositional engineering strategies to boost the stability and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of FAPbBr3 NCs are extensively discussed. Finally, the fundamental concepts and recent progress on FAPbBr3-based LEDs, followed by a discussion of the challenges and prospects that are on the table for this enticing class of perovskites, are reviewed.

Abstract
The fast kinetics of all-inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, or I) nanocrystal growth entail that many synthetic strategies for structural control established in other semiconductor systems do not apply. Rather, products are often determined by thermodynamic factors, limiting the range of synthetic outcomes and functionality. In this study, we show how reaction kinetics are significantly slowed if nanocrystals are prepared using a dual injection strategy that moderates the crucial interaction between cesium and halide during nucleation and growth. The result is highly uniform nanorod or cuboid nanocrystals with a controllable size and aspect ratio across the quantum confinement regime, obtainable for both pure and mixed halide compositions. Further, the crystal lattice is continuously tunable between the tetragonal (I4/mcm) and orthorhombic (Pbnm) phases, independent of the overall nanorod morphology, enabling significantly more sophisticated structure-property relationships that can be tailored during this kinetically controlled synthesis.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals with different halide ions can lead to color-tunable emissions in visible window with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yields. Extensive research has been carried out for optimizing the synthesis of these nanocrystals for the last 6 years, and thousands of research papers have been reported. However, due to the ionic nature, these nanocrystals formed instantaneously and hence, their growth kinetics could not be established yet. In most of the reactions, the formation mechanism typically followed one reaction for one size or shape principle, and their dimension tuning was achieved predominantly with thermodynamic control. There is no clear evidence yet on the decoupling growth from nucleations and monitoring their growth kinetics. Hence, the progress of understanding the fundamentals of crystal growth faced road blocks for these halide perovskite nanocrystals. Keeping eyes on all such reports on one reaction for one size and one reaction for tunable size of the most widely studied CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, in this perspective, details of their size tunability are analyzed and reported. In addition, comparison of the classical mechanism, obstacles for establishing secondary growth, and possible road maps for controlling the kinetic parameters of formation of these nanocrystals are also discussed.

Abstract
The advent of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), which are easily synthesized, ultralow-cost materials and have an impeccable luminous efficiency, has drastically changed the future perspective of semiconductor quantum dot devices. Although the band gap energy of lead perovskite NCs can be tuned by the halide composition, the instability problem prevails for mixed-halide perovskite NCs, caused by phase segregation due to ion migration when an external electric field or light is applied. To avoid this problem and obtain the stable emission of RGB primary colors, in this study, two synthesis pathways of pure-halide perovskite NCs are proposed. One approach is the modified hot injection method with "centrifugation of a frozen eutectic mixture" to separate small NCs efficiently, and the other is the "low-temperature mixing and heat-up method" for target materials including CsPbI3, CsPbBr3, and CH(NH2)2PbBr3 (FAPbBr3). The emission wavelength of FAPbBr3 is tuned ion-stoichiometrically, unlike Cs perovskites. These various synthesis pathways of pure-halide perovskite NCs enable the efficient production of high-quality perovskite NCs and allow precise tuning of the emission color to the desired wavelength. Although there are still several "gaps" remaining in the available emission wavelength, the new methodology proposed in this study could potentially be employed for manufacturing more stable perovskite NC-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) quantum dots (QDs) have shown great potential in the field of luminescent materials owing to their superior optical and electrical properties. However, instability and lack of multicolor emissions resulting from the intrinsic nature of CsPbBr3 QDs are still the major challenge for their commercialization. Herein, Eu3+ and Tm3+ co-doped CsPbBr3 QD glass nanocomposites (GNCs) are successfully synthesized via traditional melt-quenching followed by a heat-treatment route to obtain tunable emission in a durable host material. Tm3+ ions are doped to blue-shift the main emission peak of CsPbBr3 QDs, while Eu3+ ions are incorporated to compensate for the red deficiency. Accordingly, a tunable color emission spanning the entire visible spectrum is achieved from GNCs with a fixed composition. The incorporation of Eu3+ and Tm3+ ions promotes the crystallization of CsPbBr3 QDs in the glass host resulting in ∼100% photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) using a dilution method. The selected glass host has also been proven to effectively protect CsPbBr3 QDs against chemical, thermal and photo degradation. Interestingly, the selected Eu3+/Tm3+ co-doped CsPbBr3 QD GNC shows warm-white light with a low color temperature of 3692 K without utilizing any commercial phosphors. This indicates that the produced GNCs have the potential to be used as light convertor materials in multi-color LED or warm white LED applications due to their robust stability and extremely pure and tunable emission colors.

Abstract
Mimicking the natural photosynthesis process to convert carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals is vital to solving both the climate crisis worldwide and the depletion of fossil fuels. Herein, we explore the synthesis of 2D FAPbBr3 nanoplate combined with 2D Ti3C2 nanosheet to form a 2D/2D FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 Schottky heterojunction using facile hot-injection and in-situ growth approaches. The Schottky heterojunction of FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 over large interfacial contact provides abundant channels for transferring photogenerated carriers from FAPbBr3 nanoplate to Ti3C2 nanosheet. The experimental results showed a CO yield of 93.82 μmol·g-1·h-1 with ethyl acetate/deionization water as a sacrificial reagent for FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 composite, which was 1.25-fold enhancement that on pristine FAPbBr3 nanoplates. The large 2D heterointerface can efficiently accelerate the spatial separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers and result in the superior photocatalytic activity and favorable stability of FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 photocatalysts, which are proved by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, transient absorption spectra, and Mott-Schottky measurement. Thus, this work unveils that 2D/2D Schottky heterostructures would significantly improve the reaction activities of halide perovskite-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Perovskite-based white-light-emitting devices (WLEDs) are expected to be the potential candidate for the next-generation lighting field due to their scalability and low-cost process. However, simple and adjustable WLED fabrication technology is in urgent need. Here, WLEDs with a single layer of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) were constructed by combining Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs with exciplex emission between poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and ((1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene)) (TPBi). Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs with polar ion shells were prepared by means of low temperature and post-treatment. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) can reach as high as 95.9% at the emission wavelength of 456 nm. The blue shift of its PL (∼60 nm) is much greater than that of other reported Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs (5-10 nm), thus realizing the true blue-emission Zn2+-doped CsPbBr3 PQDs. As a result, just by controlling the thickness of TPBi, the adjustment of cold (CIE (0.2531, 0.2502)) and warm WLEDs (CIE (0.3561, 0.3562)) is realized for the first time.

Abstract
Field-induced ionic motions in all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) strongly dictate not only their electro-optical characteristics but also the ultimate optoelectronic device performance. Here, we show that the functionality of a single Ag/CsPbBr3/ITO device can be actively switched on a sub-millisecond scale from a resistive random-access memory (RRAM) to a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), or vice versa, by simply modulating its bias polarity. We then realize for the first time a fast, all-perovskite light-emitting memory (LEM) operating at 5 kHz by pairing such two identical devices in series, in which one functions as an RRAM to electrically read the encoded data while the other simultaneously as an LEC for a parallel, non-contact optical reading. We further show that the digital status of the LEM can be perceived in real time from its emission color. Our work opens up a completely new horizon for more advanced all-inorganic perovskite optoelectronic technologies. Electric field induced ion migration is a well-known phenomenon in perovskite, but the consequences are notorious, and thus needs to be prevented. Here, on the other hand, the authors cleverly manipulate this event for realising resistive random-access memory and light-emitting electrochemical cell in one device based on CsPbBr3 quantum dots.

Abstract
CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals with two different dimensionalities were synthesized at different temperatures and then integrated as optoelectronic transducers into transistor-type photoconversion devices. Postsynthesis transformation was observed for two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets, while the transformation was rarely found in 3D nanocubes. At ambient temperature and pressure, neighboring nanoplatelets made facet-to-facet contact and then fused into larger 2D nanoplatelets (2-5 times) without defects. The coalescence of 2D nanoplatelets at the ambient condition lowered the density of defects at the surface of the nanocrystals and thus could facilitate effective and stable photoconversion behavior in the nanocrystal film integrated into the device. Consequently, the ambient-condition aging of 2D nanoplatelets on device substrate led to 3 times higher retention in photoconversion performance. Importantly, these results provide a new concept of how perovskite nanocrystals can be integrated into a device for enhanced stability in device performance.

Abstract
Highly efficient and blue-emitting CsPbBr3 quantum dots were successfully synthesized by two-step supersaturated recrystallization under ambient condition. This method could control the particle size within 2.8 nm, thus resulting in strong quantum confinement effect of the products. The as-synthesized CsPbBr3 quantum dots presented outstanding optical properties with highest photo-luminescence quantum yield of 87.20% and longest PL lifetime of 12.24 ns. The blue light-emitting diode made from the CsPbBr3 quantum dots exhibited a CIE coordinate (0.14, 0.10), in good agreement with the standard blue CIE coordinate (0.14, 0.08) of National Television System Committee (NTSC).

Abstract
Silica coating can effectively solve the stability issue of lead halide perovskite nanomaterials. However, it is difficult to achieve aqueous SiO2 coating on hydrophobic CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs). In this paper, the hydrolysis process of tetramethoxysilane was controlled to get a homogeneous SiO2 coating or a NC/SiO2 Janus structure. In step 1, the Cs4PbBr6 NCs were silanized using partially hydrolyzed tetramethoxysilane (PH-TMOS). During this process, the Si-OH groups which came from PH-TMOS were absorbed onto the surface of the Cs4PbBr6 NCs with the removal of hydrophobic oleic acid (OA) ligands. In step 2, phase transformation from Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbBr3 occurred owing to the injection of water. Meanwhile, further hydrolysis of TMOS took place and generated cross-linked Si-O-Si. Because the silanization in step 1 created lots of growth sites, the condensation of SiO2 was not limited to the interface between water and hexane. After growing for 12 h, the fully covered CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules were prepared. The anion exchange reactions of the CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules were studied. Only one even and symmetric PL peak was apparent during the anion exchange process, which was different from the bare CsPbBr3 NCs. This result demonstrated that the SiO2 shell can act as a buffer layer to block the direct contact of CsPbBr3 with the excess PbBr2 precursor in solution. Compared with the CsPbBr3 NCs, CsPbBr3@SiO2 showed better stability in polar solvent and air. A bright green emission was also observed under UV light after 90 days. The successful preparation of CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules with enhanced stability paves the way for the further development of lead halide perovskite nanomaterials.

Abstract
Metal-halide perovskite-based green and red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have witnessed a rapid development because of their facile synthesis and processability; however, the blue-band emission is constrained by their unstable chemical properties and poorly conducting emitting layers. Here, we show a trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-mediated one-step approach to realize bright deep-blue luminescent FAPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) with enhanced stability and charge transport. The concentration of NPL surface ligands is shown to be progressively tuned via varying the amount of intermediate TOPO due to the acid-base equilibrium between protic acid and TOPO. By effectively optimizing the concentration of surface ligands, the structural integrity of NPL solids can be preserved in ambient air for a week, mainly because of the highly ordered and dense solid assembly and the reduced defects. The removal of excess organic ligands also enables the improvement of charge mobility by orders of magnitude. Ultimately, ultrapure deep-blue perovskite LEDs (439 nm) with a narrow emission width of 14 nm and a peak EQE of 0.14% are achieved at low driving voltage. Our finding expands the current understanding of surface ligand modulation in the development of pure bromide deep-blue perovskite optoelectronics.
