Abstract
Hybrid copper(I) halides have garnered a significant amount of attention as potential substitutes in luminescence and scintillation applications. Herein, we report the discovery and crystal growth of new zero-dimensional compounds, (C2H8N)3Cu2I5 and (C2H8N)4Cu2Br6. The bromide and iodide have a triclinic structure with space group P1̅ and an orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma, respectively. (C2H8N)3Cu2I5 exhibits cyan emission peaking at 504 nm with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 34.79%, while (C2H8N)4Cu2Br6 shows yellowish-green emission peaking at 537 nm with a PLQY of 38.45%. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence data of both compounds were fitted to theoretical models, revealing that nonradiative intermediate states significantly affect thermal quenching and antiquenching. Electron-phonon interactions, the origin of emission line width broadening and peak shifting, were also investigated via fittings. The scintillation properties of (C2H8N)3Cu2I5 were evaluated, and an X-ray imaging device was successfully fabricated using (C2H8N)3Cu2I5. This work demonstrates the potentiality of copper halides in lighting and X-ray imaging applications.

Abstract
All-inorganic cesium copper halide nanocrystals have attracted extensive attention due to their cost-effectiveness, low toxicity, and rich luminescence properties. However, controlling the synthesis of these nanocrystals to achieve a precise composition and high luminous efficiency remains a challenge that limits their future application. Herein, we report the effect of oleylammonium iodide on the synthesis of copper halide nanocrystals to control the composition and phase and modulate their photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (QYs). For CsCu2I3, the PL peak is centered at 560 nm with a PLQY of 47.3%, while the PL peak of Cs3Cu2I5 is located at 440 nm with an unprecedently high PLQY of 95.3%. Furthermore, the intermediate-state CsCu2I3/Cs3Cu2I5 heterostructure shows white light emission with a PLQY of 66.4%, chromaticity coordinates of (0.3176, 0.3306), a high color rendering index (CRI) of 90, and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 6234 K, indicating that it is promising for single-component white-light-emitting applications. The nanocrystals reported in this study have excellent luminescence properties, low toxicity, and superior stability, so they are more suitable for future light-emitting applications.

Abstract
Recently, the newly-emerging lead-free metal-halide materials with less toxicity and superior optoelectronic properties have received wide attention as the safer and potentially more robust alternatives to lead-based perovskite counterparts. Among them, ternary copper halides (TCHs) have become a vital group due to their unique features, including abundant structural diversity, ease of synthesis, unprecedented optoelectronic properties, high abundance, and low cost. Although the recent efforts in this field have made certain progresses, some scientific and technological issues still remain unresolved. Herein, a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of recent progress on the fundamental characteristics of TCH materials and their versatile applications is presented, which contains topics such as: i) crystal and electronic structure features and synthesis strategies; ii) mechanisms of self-trapped excitons, luminescence regulation, and environmental stability; and iii) their burgeoning optoelectronic devices of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), electroluminescent LEDs, anti-counterfeiting, X-ray scintillators, photodetectors, sensors, and memristors. Finally, the current challenges together with future perspectives on the development of TCH materials and applications are also critically described, which is considered to be critical for accelerating the commercialization of these rapidly evolving technologies.

Abstract
Copper-based halide perovskites have shown great potential in lighting and photodetection due to their excellent photoelectric properties, good stability and lead-free nature. However, as an important piece of copper-based perovskites, the synthesis and application of RbCu2I3have never been reported. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of high-quality RbCu2I3microwires (MWs) by a fast-cooling hot saturated solution method. The prepared MWs exhibit an orthorhombic structure with a smooth surface. Optical measurements show the RbCu2I3MWs have a sharp ultraviolet absorption edge with 3.63 eV optical band gap and ultra-large stokes shift (300 nm) in photoluminescence. The subsequent photodetector based on a single RbCu2I3MW shows excellent ultraviolet detection performance. Under the 340 nm illumination, the device shows a specific detectivity of 5.0 × 109Jones and a responsivity of 380 mA·W-1. The synthesis method and physical properties of RbCu2I3could be a guide to the future optoelectronic application of the new material.

Abstract
Abstract
Recently, non-toxic alternatives to lead-halide perovskites have been greatly sought after in optoelectronics applications. Deep-blue luminescent material is mainly required for fabricating white light source and expanding the color gamut of full-color displays. However, the synthesis of high-performance lead-free perovskite films with efficient blue emission is still a critical challenge currently, limiting their further practical applications. Here, a novel strategy is reported to prepare non-toxic and deep-blue-emitting K2CuBr3 nanocrystalline films by introducing polymer poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) additives into the anti-solvent. It is found that the PMMA additives could effectively reduce the grain size and improve the crystallinity of K2CuBr3 films, resulting in an enhanced radiative recombination by defect passivation and confinement of excitons in the nanograins. As a result, the PMMA-treated K2CuBr3 films achieve a bright deep-blue light with color coordinates at (0.155, 0.042), and the photoluminescence quantum yield obtained is about 3.3 times that of the pristine sample. Moreover, the treated K2CuBr3 films exhibit a substantially enhanced stability under harsh environmental conditions, maintaining >70% of their initial performances in high humidity environment (50%–70% humidity, 190 h) or under uninterrupted ultraviolet light radiation (254 nm, 3.4 mW cm−2, 150 h). These findings pave a promising strategy for achieving efficient and stable deep-blue metal halide films, showing their potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
