Abstract
Linoleic acid (LA) detection and edible oils discrimination are essential for food safety. Recently, CsPbBr3@SiO2 heterostructures have been widely applied in edible oil assays, while deep insights into solvent effects on their structure and performance are often overlooked. Based on the suitable polarity and viscosity of cyclohexane, we prepared CsPbBr3@SiO2 Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) with high stability in edible oil and fast halogen-exchange (FHE) efficiency with oleylammonium iodide (OLAI). LA is selectively oxidized by lipoxidase to yield hydroxylated derivative (oxLA) capable of reacting with OLAI, thereby bridging LA content to naked-eye fluorescence color changes through the anti-FHE reaction. The established method for LA in edible oils exhibited consistent results with GC-MS analysis (p > 0.05). Since the LA content difference between edible oils, we further utilized chemometrics to accurately distinguish (100%) the species of edible oils. Overall, such elaborated CsPbBr3@SiO2 JNPs enable a refreshing strategy for edible oil discrimination.

Abstract
Water-hexane interfacial preparation of photostable Au@CsPbBr3 (Au@CPB) hybrid nanocrystals (NCs) from pure CsPbBr3 (CPB) NCs is reported, with the coexistence of exciton and localized surface plasmon resonance with equal dominance. This enables strong exciton-plasmon coupling in these plasmonic perovskite NCs where not only the photoluminescence is quenched intrinsically due to ultrafast charge separation, but also the light absorption property increases significantly, covering the entire visible region. Using a controlled interfacial strategy, a reversible chemical transformation between CPB and Au@CPB NCs is shown, with the simultaneous eruption of larger-size ligand-free aqueous Au nanoparticles (NPs). An adsorption-desorption mechanism is proposed for the reversible transformation, while the overgrowth reaction of the Au NPs passes through the Au aggregation intermediate. This study further shows that the plasmonic Au@CPB hybrid NCs as well as ligand-free Au NPs exhibit clear surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of a commercially available probe molecule. Overall, the beautiful interfacial chemistry delivers two independent plasmonic materials, i.e., Au@CPB NCs and ligand-free aqueous Au NPs, which may find important implications in photocatalytic and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Synthesis of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-metal halide perovskites (MHPs) heterostructure is garnered immense attentions due to their unparalleled photophysical properties. However, the obvious difference in their structural forms makes it a huge challenge. Herein, hexagonal β-NaYF4 and hexagonal Cs4PbBr6 are filtrated to construct the UCNP/MHP heterostructural luminescent material. The similarity in their crystal structures facilitate the heteroepitaxial growth of Cs4PbBr6 on the surface of β-NaYF4 NPs, leading to the formation of high-quality β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell nanocrystals (NCs). Interestingly, this heterostructure endows the core/shell NCs with typically narrow-band green emission centered at 524 nm under 980 nm excitation, which should be attributed to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Tm3+ to Cs4PbBr6. It is noteworthy that the FRET efficiency of β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell NCs (58.33%) is much higher than that of the physically mixed sample (1.84%). In addition, the reduced defect density, lattice anchoring effect, as well as diluted ionic bonding proportion induced by the core/shell structure further increase the excellent water-resistance and thermal cycling stability of Cs4PbBr6. These findings open up a new way to construct UCNP/MHP heterostructure with better multi-code luminescence performance and stability and promote its wide optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
We report high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction, optical absorption, and photoluminescence investigations of all-inorganic perovskite-related materials CsPb2Cl5 and Cs4PbCl6. The crystal structure of CsPb2Cl5, composed of alternate layers of Cs+ cations and Pb-Cl frameworks, is stable under pressure up to at least 4.2 GPa. Because external stress is mainly absorbed by the Cs+ layers, the optical absorption edge of the crystal only slightly red-shifts with increasing pressure, which correlates well with a moderate shortening of the Pb-Cl bonds. A quite different response to pressure shows Cs4PbCl6, the crystal built of isolated PbCl64- octahedra and Cs+ cations. During the compression at around 3.4 GPa, the trigonal phase I, space group R3̅c, transforms to the orthorhombic phase II, space group Cmce, which at around 4 GPa transforms into phase III. On decompression, phase II is not restored, but phase III converts through a diffuse phase transition into another high-pressure phase IV, which is stable in a wide pressure range and transforms to the initial phase I only around atmospheric pressure. The red shift of the absorption edge and the profound modification of the absorption spectrum in phase II were ascribed to the deformation of the PbCl64- octahedra. The transition to phase III induces a blue shift of the absorption edge, while the transition to phase IV is associated with a large red shift. Photoluminescence was detected in phases I and II with the intensity quenched with increasing pressure.

Abstract
Manganese doping has been demonstrated as a versatile tool to tune the emission of CsPbCl3 nanocrystals (NCs). Although this has been demonstrated in nanocubes and nanoplatelets, strategies for doping Mn2+ in size-tunable, excitonic CsPbCl3 quantum dots (QDs) remain absent. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis of size-tunable spheroidal CsPbCl3:Mn2+ QDs, which can be obtained by a water-hexane interfacial combined anion and cation exchange strategy starting from CsPbBr3 QDs. Interestingly, the QDs exhibit a fast 0.2 ms Mn2+ photoluminescence (PL) lifetime and an energy transfer (ET) time of approximately 100 ps from the excitonic state of the QD to the atomic state of the Mn2+ ion. The size dependence observation of the manganese PL efficiency and the slow ET rate suggest that Mn2+ mainly gets incorporated at the QD's surface, highlighting the importance of strategies chosen for the incorporation of Mn2+ into perovskite QDs.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites suffer from water and moisture instability due to the highly ionic nature of the crystal structures, though a few groups took advantage of it for chemical transformation via water-assisted strategy. However, direct exposure of the perovskite to bulk water leads to uncontrolled chemical transformation. Here, we report a controlled chemical transformation of CsPbBr3 to CsPb2Br5 triggered by nanoconfined water by placing CsPbBr3 in the nonpolar phase within a reverse micelle. The chemical transformation reaction is probed by using steady-state and time-resolved optical spectroscopy. We observe absorption and photoluminescence in the UV region stemming clearly from the CsPb2Br5 phase upon interaction with the reverse micellar aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements further provided the structure and morphology. Our results direct the formation of CsPbBr3-CsPb2Br5 nanocomposite under dry conditions while the chemically transformed CsPb2Br5 phase exists only in moist conditions, which we explain via the CsBr-stripping mechanism.

Abstract
Luminescent perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), possessing the advantages of low cost, easy detection, and excellent luminescence, are becoming more and more significant in the fields of information encryption and decryption. Most hydrochromic perovskite NCs for information encryption have moderate reversibility and are easily passively decrypted by water in the moist air, limiting their practical applications. Herein, a lyochromic material is synthesized based on reversible phase transition between luminescent CsPbBr3-HBr (pretreating CsPbBr3 with HBr) and nonluminescent Cs4PbBr6, exhibiting excellent reversibility in 50 cycles triggered by CsBr solution. HBr treatment boosts the ion migration of NCs via diminishing surface ligands and passivating Br vacancy, assisting CsBr concentration acting as a crucial factor in dynamic ion exchange equilibrium between the trigger solution and CsPbBr3-HBr. By utilizing CsPbBr3-HBr as a safety ink, the CsBr-triggered photoluminescence switch has been demonstrated to be reproducible, stable, and reliable for information encryption and decryption.

Abstract
Chirality is a widespread phenomenon in nature and in living organisms and plays an important role in living systems. The sensitive discrimination of chiral molecular enantiomers remains a challenge in the fields of chemistry and biology. Establishing a simple, fast, and efficient strategy to discriminate the spatial configuration of chiral molecular enantiomers is of great significance. Chiral perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have attracted much attention because of their excellent optical activity. However, it is a challenge to prepare perovskites with both chiral and fluorescence properties for chiral sensing. In this work, we synthesized two chiral fluorescent perovskite nanocrystal assembly (PNA) enantiomers by using l- or d-phenylalanine (Phe) as chiral ligands. PNA exhibited good fluorescence recognition for l- and d-proline (Pro). Homochiral interaction led to fluorescence enhancement, while heterochiral interaction led to fluorescence quenching, and there is a good linear relationship between the fluorescence changing rate and l- or d-Pro concentration. Mechanism studies show that homochiral interaction-induced fluorescence enhancement is attributed to the disassembly of chiral PNA, while no disassembly of chiral PNA was found in heterochiral interaction-induced fluorescence quenching, which is attributed to the substitution of Phe on the surface of chiral PNA by heterochiral Pro. This work suggests that chiral perovskite can be used for chiral fluorescence sensing; it will inspire the development of chiral nanomaterials and chiral optical sensors.

Abstract
Recently, metal-halide perovskites have rapidly emerged as efficient light emitters with near-unity quantum yield and size-dependent optical and electronic properties, which have attracted considerable attention from researchers. However, the ultrafast nucleation rate of ionic perovskite counterparts severely limits the in-depth exploration of the growth mechanism of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs). Herein, we used an inorganic ligand nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) to trigger a slow post-synthesis transformation process, converting non-luminescent Cs4PbBr6 NCs into bright green luminescent CsPbBr3 NCs to elucidate the concrete transformation mechanism via four stages: (i) the dissociation of pristine NCs, (ii) the formation of Pb-Br intermediates, (iii) low-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs) and (iv) cubic CsPbBr3 NCs, corresponding to the blue-to-green emission process. The desorption and reorganization of organic ligands induced by NO+ and the involvement of BF4- in the ligand exchange process played pivotal roles in this dissolution-recrystallization of NCs. Moreover, controlled shape evolution from anisotropic NPLs to NCs was investigated through variations in the amount of NOBF4. This further validates that additives exert a decisive role in the symmetry and growth of nanostructured perovskite crystals during phase transition based on the ligand-exchange mechanism. This finding serves as a source of inspiration for the synthesis of highly luminescent CsPbBr3 NCs, providing valuable insights into the chemical mechanism in post-synthesis transformation.

Abstract
Multimodal biomedical imaging and imaging-guided therapy have garnered extensive attention owing to the aid of nanoagents with the aim of further improving the therapeutic efficacy of diseases. The ability to engineer nanocomplexes (NCs) or control how they behave within an organism remains largely elusive. Here, a multifunctional nanoplatform is developed based on stabilized I-doped perovskite, CsPbBr3 -x Ix @SiO2 @Lip-c(RGD)2 (PSL-c(RGD)2 ) NCs. In particular, by regulating the amount of regular I- ions introduced, the fluorescence emission spectrum of perovskite-based NCs can be modulated well to match the requirement for biomedical optical imaging at the scale from molecule, cell to mouse; doping 125 I enables the nanoformulation to be competent for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging; the introduction of 131 I- imparts the NCs with the capability for radiotherapy. Through facile manipulation of specific iodine ions, this nanoplatform exhibits a remarkable ability to match multifunctional biomedical imaging and tumor therapy. In addition, their in vivo behavior can be manipulated by adjusting the thickness of the silica shell and the surface polarity for more practical applications. These experimental explorations offer a novel approach for engineering desirable multimodal NCs to simultaneously image and combat malignant tumors.

However, their instability in polar solvents is the main factor hindering their application in analysis. Herein, a heterozygous perovskite (CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6) was simultaneously prepared and stabilized by a silylanization strategy using (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted precipitation encapsulation method. The synthesized CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 emitted an independent fluorescence at 520 nm. The obtained CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 exhibited good stability in ethanol/water mixtures. It was used as a fluorescent probe for sensitively detecting iodide ions (I-) by fluorescence quenching mechanism in the concentration range of 1 ~ 70.0 µM with the detection limit (LOD) of 0.83 µM (relative standard deviation (RSD) = 1.33%, n = 20). The simplicity and high selectivity of the proposed fluorescent analysis method were the prominent features. This work could be extended to the other target ion detection by a perovskite fluorescent quenching.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites offer ample opportunities to develop advanced optoelectronic devices. This work showcases that the integration of metal halide perovskites into metal oxide nanoshells with controllable interior cavities can enable water-vapor-responsive dual-mode switching of fluorescence and structural color. Through a ship-in-a-bottle method to introduce a controlled amount of CsPbBr3 into MnO2 nanoshells, we have designed CsPbBr3@MnO2 yolk-shell nanostructures, which can uptake a defined amount of water to exhibit rapid (less than 1 s) and reversible (≥100 cycles) responses in both fluorescence on-off and color change when exposed to dynamic water vapor. These responses originate from the water-triggered phase transformation of CsPbBr3 to CsPb2Br5 and the structural color change of the MnO2 shell. The altered electronic and bonding structure at the oxide-halide interface, rapid water accumulation in the yolk-shell cavity, and protective effect of the oxide shell facilitate the reversible transformations. The response characteristics of the yolk-shell nanostructures have been further demonstrated in fabricating patterned films capable of multiple fluorescence/structural color responses, highlighting their potential for applications in advanced anticounterfeiting and encryption.

Abstract
Nowadays, environmental pollution and the energy crisis are two significant concerns in the world, and photocatalysis is seen as a key solution to these issues. All-inorganic lead halide perovskites have been extensively utilized in photocatalysis and have become one of the most promising materials in recent years. The superior performance of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites distinguish them from other photocatalysts. Since pure lead halide perovskites typically have shortcomings, such as low stability, poor active sites, and ineffective carrier extraction, that restrict their use in photocatalytic reactions, it is crucial to enhance their photocatalytic activity and stability. Huge progress has been made to deal with these critical issues to enhance the effects of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites as efficient photocatalysts in a wide range of applications. In this manuscript, the synthesis methods of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites are discussed, and promising strategies are proposed for superior photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the research progress of photocatalysis applications are summarized; finally, the issues of all-inorganic lead halide perovskite photocatalytic materials at the current state and future research directions are also analyzed and discussed. We hope that this manuscript will provide novel insights to researchers to further promote the research on photocatalysis based on all-inorganic lead halide perovskites.

Abstract
Water instability and sensing homogeneity are the Achilles' heel of CsPbX3 NPs in biological fluids application. This work reports the preparation of Mn2+:CsPbCl3@SiO2 yolk-shell nanoparticles (YSNPs) in aqueous solutions created through the integration of ligand, surface, and crystal engineering strategies. The SN2 reaction between 4-chlorobutyric acid (CBA) and oleylamine (OAm) yields a zwitterionic ligand that facilitates the dispersion of YSNPs in water, while the robust SiO2 shell enhances their overall stability. Besides, Mn2+ doping in YSNPs not only introduces a second emission center but also enables potential postsynthetic designability, leading to the switching from YSNPs to MnO2@YSNPs with excellent oxidase (OXD)-like activity. Theoretical calculations reveal that electron transfer from CsPbCl3 to in situ MnO2 and the adsorption-desorption process of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) synergistically amplify the OXD-like activity. In the presence of ascorbic acid (AA), Mn4+ in MnO2@YSNPs (fluorescent nanozyme) is reduced to Mn2+ and dissociated, thereby inhibiting the OXD-like activity and triggering fluorescence "turn-on/off", i.e., dual-mode recognition. Finally, a biomarker reporting platform based on MnO2@YSNPs fluorescent nanozyme is constructed with AA as the reporter molecule, and the accurate detection of human serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is realized, demonstrating the vast potential of perovskites in biosensing.

Abstract
Colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are highly luminescent materials with great promise as fluorescent probes in biosensing as long as their intrinsic instability in aqueous media is effectively addressed. In this study, we successfully prepared stable and multicolored CsPbX3@SiO2 (X = Cl/Br, Br and I) core-shell nanoparticles through a simple method based on the water-induced transformation of Cs4PbX6 into CsPbX3, combined with sol-gel procedures. We observed that the concentration of the Cs4PbX6 precursor plays a crucial role in the formation of isolated nanospheres with uniform silica coating and in controlling the number of core-free particles. Furthermore, our research expands this approach to other halide compositions, resulting in multicolored core-shell nanoparticles with emission wavelengths ranging from 490 to 700 nm, average sizes below 30 nm, and photoluminescence quantum yields close to 60%. Unlike in previous reports, the silica coating boosts the photoluminescence quantum yields compared to uncoated counterparts and provides increased structural stability for more than four days. Moreover, a controlled thermal treatment confers water stability to the as-synthesized nanoparticles. To establish the feasibility of the developed materials as fluorescent probes, we successfully demonstrated their specific recognition of a humanized antibody (omalizumab) used in treating patients with severe allergic asthma. This work paves the way to develop in vitro tests using CsPbX3@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles as fluorogenic probes.

Abstract
All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have received much attention due to their outstanding optical and electronic properties, but the underlying growth mechanism remains elusive due to their rapid formation process. Here, we report an in situ real-time study of the growth of Cs4PbBr6 NCs under practical synthesis conditions in a custom-made reactor. Through the synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering technique, we find that the formation of Cs4PbBr6 NCs is accomplished in three steps: the fast nucleation process accompanied by self-focusing growth, the subsequent diffusion-limited Ostwald ripening, and the self-assembly of NCs into the face-centered cubic (fcc) superlattices at high temperature and the termination of growth. The simultaneously collected wide-angle X-ray scattering signals further corroborate the three-step growth model. The influence of superlattice formation is also elucidated, which improves the uniformity of the final NCs.

Abstract
Halide vacancies cause lattice degradation and nonradiative losses in halide perovskites. In this study, we strategically fill bromide vacancies in CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals with NaBr, KBr, or CsBr at the organic-aqueous interface for hydrophobic ligand-capped nanocrystals or in a polar solvent (2-propanol) for amphiphilic ligand-capped nanocrystals. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra, powder X-ray diffraction data, and scanning transmission electron microscopy images help us confirm vacancy filling and the structures of samples. The bromide salts increase the photoluminescence quantum yield (98 ± 2%) of CsPbBr3 by decreasing the nonradiative decay rate. Single-particle studies show the quantum yield increase originates from the poorly luminescent nanocrystals becoming highly luminescent after filling vacancies. Furthermore, we tune the optical band gap (ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared) of the hydrophobic ligand-capped nanocrystals by halide exchange at the toluene-water interface using saturated NaCl or NaI solutions, which completes in about 60 min under continuous mixing. In contrast, the amphiphilic ligand accelerates the halide exchange in 2-propanol, suggesting ambipolar functional groups speed up the ion-exchange reaction. The bromide vacancy-filled or halide-exchanged samples in a toluene-water biphasic solvent show higher stability than amphiphilic ligand-capped samples in 2-propanol. This strategy of defect passivation, ion exchange, and ligand chemistry to improve quantum yields and tune band gaps of halide perovskite nanocrystals can be promising for designing stable and water-soluble perovskite samples for solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, and photocatalysts.

Abstract
Cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) possess great potential in light-emitting diode applications because of their high brightness, low cost, tunable luminescence, and facile synthesis nature. However, these NCs are often disadvantaged by their instability in nonsolvent environment that hinders the practical applications of the material. In order to solve these issues, cesium lead halide NCs prepared using a solvent environment can be placed on substrates to retain the high stability and expand the applicability of the material. This Review focuses on the transfer of the all-inorganic cesium lead halide NCs (synthesized in solutions) onto matrix materials and their direct synthesis on these bases, including the inert shell growth (inorganic and organic shell), embedment in matrixes (e.g., metal organic frameworks, porous SiO2, glass, ZrO2, Al2O3, and AlOOH), and direct synthesis in substrates. In particular, the strategies for stability and PL property improvement of the materials are also summarized. The purpose of this Review is to provide inspiration for the encapsulation of cesium lead halide NCs with high brightness and stability in matrixes to expand the applicability of these materials in wide color gamut backlighting (e.g., white-light-emitting devices).

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis for CO2 reduction coupled with water oxidation currently suffers from low efficiency due to inadequate interfacial charge separation of conventional Z-scheme heterojunctions. Herein, an unprecedented nanoscale Janus Z-scheme heterojunction of CsPbBr3 /TiOx is constructed for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Benefitting from the short carrier transport distance and direct contact interface, CsPbBr3 /TiOx exhibits significantly accelerated interfacial charge transfer between CsPbBr3 and TiOx (8.90 × 108 s-1 ) compared with CsPbBr3 :TiOx counterpart (4.87 × 107 s-1 ) prepared by traditional electrostatic self-assembling. The electron consumption rate of cobalt doped CsPbBr3 /TiOx can reach as high as 405.2 ± 5.6 µmol g-1 h-1 for photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO coupled with H2 O oxidation to O2 under AM1.5 sunlight (100 mW cm-2 ), over 11-fold higher than that of CsPbBr3 :TiOx , and surpassing the reported halide-perovskite-based photocatalysts under similar conditions. This work provides a novel strategy to boost charge transfer of photocatalysts for enhancing the performance of artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Inorganic metal halides offer unprecedented tunability through elemental variation of simple three-element compositions, but can exhibit complicated phase behaviour, degradation, and microscopic phenomena (disorder/dynamics) that play an integral role for the bulk-level chemical and physical properties of these materials. Understanding the halogen chemical environment in such materials is crucial to addressing many of the concerns regarding implementing these materials in commercial applications. In this study, a combined solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear quadrupole resonance and quantum chemical computation approach is used to interrogate the Br chemical environment in a series of related inorganic lead bromide materials: CsPbBr3, CsPb2Br5, and Cs4PbBr6. The quadrupole coupling constants (CQ) were determined to range from 61 to 114 MHz for 81Br, with CsPbBr3 exhibiting the largest measured CQ and Cs4PbBr6 the smallest. GIPAW DFT was shown to be an excellent pre-screening tool for estimating the EFG of Br materials and can increase experimental efficiency by providing good starting estimates for acquisition. Finally, the combination of theory and experiment to inform the best methods for expanding further to the other quadrupolar halogens is discussed.

Abstract
Oleylamine/oleic acid (OAm/OA) as the commonly used ligand is indispensable in the synthesis of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). Unfortunately, poor colloidal stability and unsatisfactory photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) are observed, resulting from a highly dynamic binding nature between ligands. Herein, we adopt a facile hybrid ligand (DDAB/ZnBr2) passivation strategy to reconstruct the surface chemistry of CsPbBr3 NCs. The hybrid ligand can detach the native surface ligand, in which the acid-base reactions between ligands are suppressed effectively. Also, they can substitute the loose capping ligand, anchor to the surface firmly, and supply sufficient halogens to passivate the surface trap, realizing an exceptional PLQY of 95% and an enhanced tolerance toward ambient storage, UV irradiation, anti-solvents, and thermal treatment. Besides, the as-fabricated white light-emitting diode (WLED) utilizing the PNCs as the green-emitting phosphor has a luminous efficiency around 73 lm/W; the color gamut covers 125% of the NTSC standard.

Abstract
Ligand-free methods for the synthesis of halide perovskite nanocrystals are of great interest because of their excellent performance in optoelectronics and photonics. In addition, template-assisted synthesis methods have become a powerful tool for the fabrication of environmentally stable and bright nanocrystals. Here we develop a novel approach for the facile ligand-free template-assisted fabrication of perovskite nanocrystals with a near-unity absolute quantum yield, which involves CaCO3 vaterite micro- and submicrospheres as templates. We show that the optical properties of the obtained nanocrystals are affected not mainly by the template morphology, but strongly depend on the concentration of precursor solutions, anion and cation ratio, as well as on adding defect-passivating rare-earth dopants. The optimized samples are further tested as infrared radiation visualizers exhibiting promising characteristics comparable to those that are commercially available.

Abstract
We utilized a modified reverse-microemulsion method to develop highly emissive and photostable zero-dimensional (0D) Cs4Pb(Br1-xIx)6 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). We employed single-particle photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to explore blinking statistics and demonstrate single-photon emission from individual PNCs. Low-temperature blinking and photon correlation studies revealed a transition from single- to multiphoton emission with progressively longer "delayed" PL components, reaching ∼70 ns at room temperature and representing a distinctive behavior to previously known iodide PNCs. Such thermally activated PL emission is explained by the existence of defect-related "reservoir" states, feeding back into the PNC's emissive state and providing multiple photons within a single excitation cycle. This work establishes a new member in the 0D class of perovskite materials, studies its photophysical properties, and reveals its potential for future optoelectronic applications.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 633:808-816.

Abstract
Since traditional fluorescent materials are too easily observed by the eyes just under the UV light, off-on fluorescent materials are explored as the new generation of fluorescent labels. In the "off" state, such off-on fluorescent labels cannot be observed by naked eyes under either natural light or UV light. Only after a specific decryption treatment to make the fluorescent materials turning into the "on" state, the fluorescent labels can be observed under the UV light. Up to now, it is still a challenge to prepare fluorescent inks with aforementioned ideal properties by using halide perovskite materials. Herein, we reported the first example of Te4+ doped indium halide perovskite inks with both off-on fluorescence under solvent stimuli and invisible ink color by the naked eyes. The synergistic effect of doping/undoping of Te4+ together with the reversible phase transformation between Cs2InCl5(H2O) and Cs3InCl6 under solvent stimuli is key for the off-on fluorescence of crystals. Under acid solvent, the substitutional doping of Te4+ during the process of phase transformation from Cs3InCl6 to Cs2InCl5(H2O):Te4+ gives rise to "turning-on" orange emission from Te-induced self-trap emission (STE). Under the stimuli of methanol, the dissolution of Te4+ from the crystals destroys the structure of Te4+ in ligand-field and results in "turning-off" Te-induced emission during the process of phase transformation from Cs2InCl5(H2O):Te4+ to Cs3InCl6. On the basis of the Te4+ doped indium halide perovskite, printable and colorless ink can be prepared for the confidential information encryption and decryption. Since the mixture of Cs3InCl6 crystals and TeCl4 have no absorption in visible light scope, the printed encrypted information by such off-state fluorescent ink is colorless and invisible by the naked eyes under either ambient light or UV light. After decryption by acid solvent stimuli, the resulted Cs2InCl5(H2O):Te4+ doping crystals have a large Stokes shift with absorption below 450 nm from the excitation of Te4+ in ligand-field and emission around 570 nm from Te-induced STE. It makes the decryption information still colorless and invisible by the naked eyes under the ambient light but visible and readable under the UV light. In comparison to traditional undoped CsPbBr3/CsPb2Br5 perovskites with small Stokes shift and eye-visible ink color, the current colorless Te4+doped indium halide perovskites are no doubt providing better security level for both encrypted and decrypted information.

Abstract
The extension application of perovskites in aqueous media such as bioassays requires the development of a water-stable perovskite with a simple preparation process and low cost. However, the degradation of perovskites in aqueous solution is still a thorny problem. Here, we develop a methylimidazole-assisted two-step synthesis protocol to prepare CsPbBr3@PbBrOH nanorods with superior water stability and remarkable optical properties at room temperature. The synergy of 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM), an N-donor ligand, with water can not only facilitate CsPbBr3 formation and suppress CsPb2Br5 or Cs4PbBr6 formation, but also promote the formation of a PbBrOH shell capping CsPbBr3. 2-MIM is ionized into 2-MIM- in DMF and 2-MIM+ in water. They passivated the surface defects and changed the crystallization environment, leading to water-stable CsPbBr3@PbBrOH. The obtained CsPbBr3@PbBrOH nanorods can still maintain 91% PL intensity after being stored in water for more than 2 months. Furthermore, the CsPbBr3@PbBrOH nanorods show excellent stability in polar solvents, water, and phosphate buffer solution in a wide pH range, as well as better thermal and irradiation stability. In addition, the CsPbBr3@PbBrOH nanorods are further functionalized with polydopamine (PDA) for biomolecular immobilization and immunoassay studies. The resulting assay shows a detection limit of 0.003 ng mL-1 for IgG detection, illustrating important progress towards expanding fluorescence labeling application of perovskite nanomaterials for immunoassays.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites are promising candidates for high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs); however, their applicability is limited by their structural instability toward moisture. Although a deliberate addition of water to the precursor solution has recently been shown to improve the crystallinity and optical properties of perovskites, the corresponding thin films still do not exhibit a near-unity quantum yield. Herein, we report that the direct addition of a minute amount of water to post-treated formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr3) nanocrystals (NCs) substantially enhances the stability while achieving a 95% photoluminescence quantum yield in a NC thin film. We unveil the mechanism of how moisture assists in the formation of an additional NH4Br component. Alongside, we demonstrate the crucial role of moisture in assisting localized etching of the perovskite crystal, facilitating the partial incorporation of NH4+, which is key for improved performance under ambient conditions. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, the application of post-treated and water-treated perovskites is tested in LEDs, with the latter exhibiting a superior performance, offering opportunities toward commercial application in moisture-stable optoelectronics.

Abstract
Surface ligand engineering, seed introduction and external driving forces play major roles in controlling the anisotropic growth of halide perovskites, which have been widely established in CsPbBr3 nanomaterials. However, colloidal CsPbI3 nanocrystals (NCs) have been less studied due to their low formation energy and low electronegativity. Here, by introducing different molar ratios of surface acids and amines to limit the monomer concentration of lead-iodine octahedra during nucleation, we report dumbbell-shaped CsPbI3 NCs obtained by the in situ self-assembly of nanospheres and nanorods with average sizes of 89 nm and 325 nm, respectively, which showed a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 89%. Structural and surface state analyses revealed that the strong binding of benzenesulfonic acid promoted the formation of a Pb(SO3-)x-rich surface of CsPbI3 assembly structures. Furthermore, the addition of benzenesulfonic acid increases the supersaturation threshold and the solubility of PbI2 in a high-temperature reaction system, and controls effectively the lead-iodine octahedron monomer concentration in the second nucleation stage. As a result, the as-synthesized CsPbI3-Sn NCs exhibited different assembly morphologies and high PLQYs, among which the role of sulfonate groups can be further verified by UV absorption and surface characteristics. The strategy provides a new frontier to rationally control the surface ligand-induced self-assembly structures of perovskites.

Abstract
Recently emerged lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are promising optoelectronic material due to their easy solution processability, wide range of color tunability, as well as very high photoluminescence quantum yield. Despite their significant success in lab-scale optoelectronic applications, the long-term stability becomes the main issue, hindering them towards commercialization. The highly ionic nature of such lead-halide structure makes them extremely unstable in water and air. But a very few groups have taken the advantage of such nature of the crystal structure for water-triggered chemical transformation towards shape, composition, and morphology controlled stable and bright PNCs, which are otherwise difficult to obtain by typical direct approach. Furthermore, using polymer as an encapsulating layer for the PNCs, water-soluble stable PNCs have been prepared. In this review, the recent progress on the water-hexane interface chemistry towards chemical transformation to produce several PNCs is described. Such method not only ensure to yield several shape-controlled perovskites nanocrystals, but also formation of perovskites in aqueous phase that show promising application towards bio-imaging.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have generated significant attention in recent years because of their extraordinary physical properties and photovoltaic performance. Among these, inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) stand out for their prominent merits, such as quantum confinement effects, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and defect-tolerant structures. Additionally, ligand engineering and an all-inorganic composition lead to a robust platform for ambient-stable QD devices. This review presents the state-of-the-art research progress on inorganic perovskite QDs, emphasizing their electronic applications. In detail, the physical properties of inorganic perovskite QDs will be introduced first, followed by a discussion of synthesis methods and growth control. Afterwards, the emerging applications of inorganic perovskite QDs in electronics, including transistors and memories, will be presented. Finally, this review will provide an outlook on potential strategies for advancing inorganic perovskite QD technologies.

Abstract
Benefit from their near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY), narrow emission band, and widely tunable bandgap, metal halide perovskites have shown promising in light-emitting applications. Despite such promise, how to facile, environmentally-friendly, and large-scale prepare solid metal halide perovskite with high emission and stability remains a challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a convenient and environmentally-friendly method for the mass synthesis of solid CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 composites using high-power ultrasonication. Adjusting key experimental parameters, bright emitting CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 solids with a maximum PL QY of 71% were obtained within 30 min. XRD, SEM, TEM, Abs/PL, XPS, and lifetime characterizations provide solid evidence for forming CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 composites. Taking advantage of these composites, the photostability, thermostability, and polar solvent stability of CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 are much improved compared to CsPbBr3. We further demonstrated CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 use in flexible/stretchable film and high-power WLEDs. After being subjected to bending, folding, and twisting, the film retains its bright emission and exhibits good resistance to mechanical deformation. Additionally, our WLEDs display a superior, durable high-power-driving capability, operating currents up to 300 mA and maintaining high luminous intensity for 50 hours. Such highly emissive and stable metal halide perovskites make them promising for solid-state lighting, lasing, and flexible/stretchable display device applications.

Abstract
Growth kinetics involved in spontaneous random clustering of perovskite precursors to a particular cesium-lead-bromide (Cs-Pb-Br) nanocrystal (NC) is a poorly understood phenomenon and its spectroscopic investigation is highly challenging. There is scarcely any method that has been optimized yet in which perovskites and their related NCs of a particular size can be grown, viewed, or tuned to another by reaction handling. Here, for the first time, we shed light on the largely overlooked process of growth kinetics of these transformations throughout the reaction trajectory of anionic [PbBrx]n- crystallization dictated by Cs+ cation and report a simple and direct approach to control the metathesis reaction between two precursors (specifically Cs+- and PbBr2-associated oligomeric complexes) in one solvent at room temperature to monitor the NC growth characteristics in a stepwise manner even in the early stages of nucleation. Altering the molar ratio of the two precursors up to a factor of 10 leads to the formation of three prominent phases (CsPbBr3, Cs4PbBr6, CsBr) as dictated by Cs+ to trigger distinct morphological forms (nanobelts, nanoplatelets, rhombohedral NCs, pseudo-rhombic NCs, spherical CsBr NCs, cubic CsBr NCs) including a transient phase that is formed out of linearly self-assembled CsPbBr3 clusters. Our results pave the way towards understanding spontaneous crystallization to develop well-defined, hassle-free routes for diverse perovskite NCs in a simple yet controlled manner.

Abstract
We present a facile synthetic approach for the growth of two-dimensional CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) in the temperature range of 50-80 °C via the vacuum-assisted low-temperature (VALT) method. In this method, we utilized the solubility of the PbBr2 precursor at temperatures high than the reaction temperature, thus making Br available during the reaction to form NPLs with fewer defects. The high chemical availability of Br during the reaction changes the growth dynamics and formation of highly crystalline nanoplatelets. Using this method, we have synthesized NPLs with an emission wavelength range of 450 to 485 nm that have high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) from 80 to 100%. The synthesized NPLs retain their initial PLQY of about 80% after one month at ambient conditions. The formation of NPLs with fewer defects and enhanced radiative recombination was further confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), reduced Urbach energy, time-resolved photocurrent measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Additionally, we utilized the synthesized NPLs for the fabrication of down-conversion light emitting diodes (LEDs), and the electroluminescence peak was barely shifted compared to the photoluminescence peak.

Abstract
Inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells have attracted widespread attention recently because of their decent efficiency and good ambient stability. Nevertheless, the fabrication of high-quality CsPbBr3 perovskite via the conventional solution-processing strategy still faces great challenges because the solubility of CsBr in the conventional solvent is poor. Here, we develop a facile thiourea-assisted two-step spin-coating process to fabricate a CsPbBr3 perovskite film with high phase purity and crystallinity and enlarged crystal grains. Thiourea is introduced into the PbBr2 layer during the first-step spin-coating process, which promotes the wettability of the PbBr2 layer and produces the space for growing large perovskite grains. The green high-concentration CsBr/H2O solution is adopted at the second-step spin-coating process, enabling enough CsBr to be deposited by a facile one-step process. By optimizing the content of thiourea, a compact CsPbBr3 perovskite film with a smooth surface, large grains, and high phase purity and crystallinity is formed. Consequently, the fabricated perovskite solar cell with the architecture of FTO/TiO2/CsPbBr3 film/carbon exhibits a superior performance with a high efficiency of 9.11%. In addition, the unencapsulated device preserves over 90% of its initial efficiency after storage at ambient conditions for 45 days.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have excellent optical and optoelectronic properties, but their intrinsic instability hampers their practical applications. Herein, stable CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) are fabricated with triethylaluminium (TMA, a Lewis acid) and hydrobromic acid by the co-assisted transformation of Cs4PbBr6 NCs. TMA forms a cross-linked alumina (AlOx) encapsulation layer on the nanocrystal surface to suppress the deformation and ion migration. The introduction of hydrobromic acid acts as a binding ligand, and the acidified reaction environment provides conditions for the water-triggered phase transformation of Cs4PbBr6 NCs into CsPbBr3 NCs. The synergistic effect of TMA and hydrobromic acid improves the stability of CsPbBr3 NCs. The obtained CsPbBr3 NC film maintains a high photoluminescence (PL) intensity after immersion in water. When stored in the atmosphere for over 30 days, the PL intensity of the CsPbBr3 NC film hardly decreases. The proposed acid co-assisted phase transformation strategy provides a new avenue for the stabilization of PNCs which exhibits wider application prospects in backlight displays.

Abstract
The instability of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) to moisture, heat, and blue light severely hinders their commercial applications in quantum dot displays. Here, organic semiconducting molecules are introduced onto CsPbBr3 NCs, and the as-obtained CsPbBr3 NCs have a high photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY) of 82% and extremely high stability in harsh commercial accelerated operational stability tests (such as high temperature (85 °C) and high humidity (85%)). The products can survive and maintain more than 80% of the initial PL intensity value under high temperature, high humidity, and long-term blue light irradiation for hundreds to thousands of hours. They are among the most stable perovskite NCs and even superior to those encapsulated by inert shells and commercial green-emissive CdSe@ZnS quantum dots (QDs). The mechanism of the exceptional stability has been proposed, mainly including the strong interaction and moderate photocarrier transfer between the quasi type II heterostructure formed by the molecule and CsPbBr3. By using these stable CsPbBr3 NCs, a QD-enhanced liquid crystal display prototype has been successfully fabricated with a wide color gamut. This work provides understandings on the functionality of ligands in perovskite fields and a promising prospect in perovskite-based display technologies.

Abstract
The 0D cesium lead halide perovskite Cs4 PbBr6 has drawn remarkable interest due to its highly efficient robust green emission compared to its 3D CsPbBr3 counterpart. However, seizing the advantages of the superior photoluminescence properties for practical light-emitting devices remains elusive. To date, Cs4 PbBr6 has been employed only as a higher-bandgap nonluminescent matrix to passivate or provide quantum/dielectric confinement to CsPbBr3 in light-emitting devices and to enhance its photo-/thermal/environmental stability. To resolve this disparity, a novel solvent engineering method to incorporate highly luminescent 0D Cs4 PbBr6 nanocrystals (perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs)) into a 3D CsPbBr3 film, forming the active emissive layer in single-layer perovskite light-emitting electrochemical cells (PeLECs) is designed. A dramatic increase of the maximum external quantum efficiency and luminance from 2.7% and 6050 cd m-2 for a 3D-only PeLEC to 8.3% and 11 200 cd m-2 for a 3D-0D PNC device with only 7% by weight of 0D PNCs is observed. The majority of this increase is driven by the efficient inherent emission of the 0D PNCs, while the concomitant morphology improvement also contributes to reduced leakage current, reduced hysteresis, and enhanced operational lifetime (half-life of 129 h), making this one of the best-performing LECs reported to date.

Abstract
The ability to generate and manipulate photoluminescence (PL) with high spatial resolution has been of primary importance for applications in micro-optoelectronics, while the emerging metal halide perovskites offer novel material platforms where diverse photonic functionalities and fine structuring are constantly explored. Herein, micro-PL patterns consisting of highly luminescent CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) in nonluminescent perovskite crystals are directly fabricated by focused femtosecond laser irradiation. Further modulation with a moisture field leads to the selective dissolution of the laser-destabilized perovskite structures as revealed by density functional theory simulations, thus allowing for facile control of the reversible PL from the recrystallization of moisture-induced CsPbBr3 NCs. By leveraging the coupled laser writing and moisture modulation, multimodal information encryption is realized by reversible encryption-reading and repeatable erasing-refreshing. This optical storage mechanism is also extended to 3D and 4D by realizing spatially and temporally resolved optical encryption. The coupled multifield modulation on perovskite crystals can enable potential applications in optical storage and encryption, and offer a novel solution for the creation and manipulation of localized PL structures with high temporal and spatial resolutions.

Abstract
Lead-free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) represent a group of emerging materials which hold promise for various optical and optoelectronic applications. Exploring facile synthetic methods for such materials has been of great interest to not only fundamental research but also technological implementations. Herein, we report a fundamentally new method to access lead-free Bi-based double perovskite (DP) and quadruple perovskite (or layered double perovskite, LDP) NCs based on a post-synthetic transformation reaction of Cs3BiX6 (X = Cl, Br) zero-dimensional (0D) perovskite NCs under mild conditions. The produced NCs show good particle uniformity, high crystallinity, and comparable optical properties to the directly synthesized NCs. The relatively slow kinetics and stop-on-demand feature of the transformation reaction allow real-time composition-structure-property investigations of the reaction, thus elucidating a cation-alloyed intermediate-assisted transformation mechanism. Our study presented here demonstrates for the first time that post-synthetic transformation of 0D perovskite NCs can serve as a new route towards the synthesis of high-quality lead-free perovskite NCs, and provides valuable insights into the crystal structures, excitonic properties and their relationships of perovskite NCs.

Abstract
The quantum-confinement effect profoundly influences the exciton energy-level structures and recombination dynamics of semiconductor nanostructures but remains largely unexplored in traditional one-dimensional nanowires mainly due to their poor optical qualities. Here, we show that in defect-tolerant perovskite material of highly luminescent CsPbBr3 nanowires, the exciton's center-of-mass motion perpendicular to the axial direction is severely confined. This is reflected in the two sets of photoluminescence spectra emitted from a single CsPbBr3 nanowire, each of which consists of doublet peaks with linear polarizations perpendicular and parallel to the axial direction. Moreover, different exciton states can be mixed by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling effect, resulting in two single photoluminescence peaks with linear polarizations both along the nanowire axis. The above findings mark the emergence of an ideal platform for the exploration of intrinsic one-dimensional exciton photophysics and optoelectronics, thus bridging the long-missing research gap between the well-studied two- and zero-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures.

Nanoplatelets by Employing a Molecular Shuttle. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2022; 61:e202115852.

Abstract
Mn‐doping in cesium lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) is of particular importance where strong quantum confinement plays a significant role towards the exciton–dopant coupling. In this work, we report an immiscible bi‐phasic strategy for post‐synthetic Mn‐doping of CsPbX3 (X=Br, Cl) NPls. A systematic study shows that electron‐donating oleylamine acts as a shuttle ligand to transport MnX2 through the water–hexane interface and deliver it to the NPls. The halide anion also plays an essential role in maintaining an appropriate radius of Mn2+ and thus fulfilling the octahedral factor required for the formation of perovskite crystals. By varying the thickness of parent NPls, we can tune the dopant incorporation and, consequently, the exciton‐to‐dopant energy transfer process in doped NPls. Time‐resolved optical measurements offer a detailed insight into the exciton‐to‐dopant energy transfer process. This new approach for post‐synthetic cation doping paves a way towards exploring the cation exchange process in several other halide perovskites at the polar–nonpolar interface.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are considered to be next-generation semiconductor materials with bright prospects to advance the technology of photonics and optoelectronics. Because of the intrinsic ionic feature, the interactions between perovskites and water induce serious stability issues, which has been one of the fundamental problems hindering the practical application of perovskites. The degradation of halide perovskites upon water exposure has been intensively studied, resulting in chemical insights into key processes, including hydration, phase transformation, decomposition, and dissolution. In this Perspective, we try to illustrate what happens when halide perovskites meet with water. We summarize the research progress regarding the understanding of these processes and discuss the principle of strategy design toward improved stability against water. In addition to the instability-related interactions, we also discuss the aqueous solution of perovskite precursors for fabricating perovskite-based functional materials. Hopefully, this Perspective can inspire more fundamental studies on the interactions between perovskites and water, such as spectroscopy and simulation, crystal structure and material characterizations, and solution chemistry and crystallization.

Improving the Stability of Ball-Milled Lead Halide Perovskites via Ethanol/Water-Induced Phase Transition. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12060920.

Abstract
Recently, lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have been considered as potential light-emitting materials because of their narrow full width at half-maximum (FWHM) and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). In addition, they have various emission spectra because the bandgap can be easily tuned by changing the size of the nanocrystals and their chemical composition. However, these perovskite materials have poor long-term stability due to their sensitivity to moisture. Thus far, various approaches have been attempted to enhance the stability of the perovskite nanocrystals. However, the required level of stability in the mass production process of perovskite nanocrystals under ambient conditions has not been secured. In this work, we developed a facile two-step ball-milling and ethanol/water-induced phase transition method to synthesize stable CsPbBr3 perovskite materials. We obtained pure CsPbBr3 perovskite solutions with stability retention of 86% for 30 days under ambient conditions. Our materials show a high PLQY of 35% in solid films, and excellent thermal stability up to 80 °C. We believe that our new synthetic method could be applicable for the mass production of light-emitting perovskite materials.

Abstract
The integration of highly luminescent CsPbBr3 quantum dots on nanowire waveguides has enormous potential applications in nanophotonics, optical sensing, and quantum communications. On the other hand, CsPb2 Br5 nanowires have also attracted a lot of attention due to their unique water stability and controversial luminescent property. Here, the growth of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals on CsPb2 Br5 nanowires is reported first by simply immersing CsPbBr3 powder into pure water, CsPbBr3- γ Xγ (X = Cl, I) nanocrystals on CsPb2 Br5 -γ Xγ nanowires are then synthesized for tunable light sources. Systematic structure and morphology studies, including in situ monitoring, reveal that CsPbBr3 powder is first converted to CsPb2 Br5 microplatelets in water, followed by morphological transformation from CsPb2 Br5 microplatelets to nanowires, which is a kinetic dissolution-recrystallization process controlled by electrolytic dissociation and supersaturation of CsPb2 Br5 . CsPbBr3 nanocrystals are spontaneously formed on CsPb2 Br5 nanowires when nanowires are collected from the aqueous solution. Raman spectroscopy, combined photoluminescence, and SEM imaging confirm that the bright emission originates from CsPbBr3 -γ Xγ nanocrystals while CsPb2 Br5 -γ Xγ nanowires are transparent waveguides. The intimate integration of nanoscale light sources with a nanowire waveguide is demonstrated through the observation of the wave guiding of light from nanocrystals and Fabry-Perot interference modes of the nanowire cavity.

Abstract
Inorganic metal halide perovskite system is considered as a promising candidate for applications from display to biomedical industry. Intrinsic inorganic lead halides possess small Stokes shift or self-absorption, providing negative impact for both photo voltaic and biomedical applications. Therefore, the development of an inorganic halide perovskite system with large Stokes shift is a significant venture. This review aims to provide an updated survey of the Stokes shift phenomena in the inorganic lead halide perovskites. The first section focuses about the mechanism, the second section gives different approaches in preparing inorganic perovskites with distinct Stokes shift, while the third section highlights the potential applications in both photovoltaic and biomedical areas. This review provides deep insight about the importance and usefulness of such phenomena in inorganic lead halides, essential for various applications.

Abstract
Herein, we develop a novel strategy for preparing all-inorganic cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs)@Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) composites through interfacial synthesis. The successful embedding of fluorescent perovskite NCs in Zn-MOFs is due to thein situconfined growth, which is attributed to the re-nucleation of water-triggered phase transformation from Cs4PbBr6to CsPbBr3. The controllable synthesis of mixed-halide based composites with various emission wavelength can be achieved by adding the desired amount of halide (Cl or I) salts in the re-nucleation process. More importantly, the anion exchange reaction is inhibited among various composites with different halogen atoms by being trapped in MOFs. Besides, a white light-emitting diode (WLED) is produced using a blue LED chip with the green-emitting and red-emitting composites, which has a color coordinate of (0.3291, 0.3272) and a wide color gamut. This work provides a novel route to achieving perovskite NCs growth in MOFs, which also can be extended to the other NCs embedded in frames as well.

Abstract
The precise phase control of Cs-Pb-Br derivatives from 3D CsPbBr3 to 0D Cs4 PbBr6 highly determines the photovoltaic performance of all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, the preferred phase conversion from precursor to Cs-Pb-Br derivatives is revealed by theoretically calculating the Gibbs free energies (∆G) of various phase conversion processes, allowing for a simplified multi-step solution-processable spin-coating method to hinder the formation of detrimental 0D Cs4 PbBr6 phase and enhance the photovoltaic performance of a PSC because of its large exciton binding energy, which is regarded as a recombination center. By further accelerating the interfacial charge extraction with a novel 2D transition metal dichalcogenide ReSe2 , the hole-free CsPbBr3 PSC achieves a champion efficiency of 10.67% with an impressive open-circuit voltage of 1.622 V and an excellent long-term stability. This work provides an in-depth understanding on the precise Cs-Pb-Br perovskite phase control and the effect of derivatives on photovoltaic performance of advanced CsPbBr3 PSCs.
