Abstract
Yb3+ doped perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) serve as efficient photoconverters, exhibiting quantum cutting emission at ∼980 nm, which aligns precisely with the optimal response region of silicon solar cells (SSCs). However, severe nonradiative recombination caused by defects in the crystal lattice and film boundaries, along with limitations in small-scale film preparation, restricts their commercial application. Here, we used Ru3+ to mitigate lattice defects in CsPbCl3 PNCs and adjusted the quantum cutting luminescence, achieving a 175% photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The results show that Ru3+ ions enter the perovskite lattice, fill lead vacancies, and passivate the lattice defects. Furthermore, cysteine effectively eliminates surface defects in PNCs by forming Pb-S bonds, resulting in films with a remarkable 117% PLQY, demonstrating strong photoconversion capabilities. Uniformly knife-coated on 20 × 20 cm2 photovoltaic glass, these films increased SSC efficiency from 21.45% to 23.15%. This study showcases a cost-effective photoconverter and a scalable coating method to boost the photovoltaic efficiency of large-area SSCs.

Abstract
The perovskite quantum dots (QDs) of CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) exhibit exceptional photoluminescent properties, but their sensitivity to moisture and heat poses a challenge. This study presents a solvent-free synthesis approach for incorporating CsPbBr3 perovskite QDs into zeolite A. The introduction of [Cs8PbBr6]4+ perovskite QDs into the zeolite framework resulted in a highly stable configuration, maintaining its initial luminescence properties even after being underwater or exposed to heat. The structure is determined by 3-dimensional single-crystal crystallography. Each octahedral PbBr64- ion is surrounded by Cs+ ions and [Cs8PbBr6]4+ perovskite QDs being formed at the 32% of the center of a large cavity. Further, [Na12CsBr8]5+ QDs are formed at the very center of another 46% large cavities by combining Cs+, Na+, and Br- ions. The peak in the emission spectrum of Pb,Br,Cs,Na-A is similar to those of the CsPbBr3 nanocrystal, Cs4PbBr6 0-dimensional perovskite QDs, and Pb,Br,H,Cs,Na-FAU(X and Y). This work demonstrates that Pb,Br,Cs,Na-A can be produced using a simplified solvent-free synthesis procedure, which exhibits excellent stability against moisture and heat. Moreover, through a straightforward process, various quantum dots (QDs) can be incorporated into zeolite cavities to develop materials with variety photoluminescent properties.

Abstract
Perovskite quantum dots can form various forms such as nanowires, nanorods, and nanosheets through self-assembly. Nanoscale self-assembly can be used to fabricate materials with excellent device properties. This study introduces AuBr3 into CsPb(Br/I)3 quantum dots, causing them to assemble into nanowires. The nanowires form because part of Au3+ is surface-doped to replace Pb2+, and the [PbX6]4- octahedral structure is distorted. The symmetry of the structural surface is broken, and a dipole-moment-induced field is generated, thus promoting self-assembly. Moreover, the presence of Au nanoparticles (NPs) causes a localized surface plasmon resonance and generates strong van der Waals forces that promote self-assembly. Finally, to test other applications of perovskite nanowires, the solution method is used to prepare films by compounding the sample solution and polystyrene (PS) for backlighted displays.

Abstract
Methylammonium lead halide perovskites with highly efficient pure-color or white-light generation have gained increasing scientific interest and promote the development of a great commercial opportunity in displays, lighting, and other applications. However, the poor stabilities, lead toxicity, and unfriendly solvents and ligands in the growth process severely restrict their commercial application. Here, we proposed a green method for preparing uniform and stable polymer-encapsulated photoluminescence (PL) tunable CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx NC thin films at room temperature. Utilizing the swelling effect between alcohol compounds and organic polymers and the ionization of NaCl in methanol solution, the anion exchange process can be achieved rapidly within 7 min. Moreover, the PL wavelengths of the CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx NCs films were precisely tuned with steps as fine as 2 nm. Experimental results showed that NaCl dissolved in methanol solution can form Cl-(CH3OH)n, which brings ionized Cl into the polymer-encapsulated CH3NH3PbBr3 NCs film for CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx NCs film growth. Based on the swelling and anion exchange dynamics, a modified NaCl-CH3OH-MABr solution system was developed to trigger CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx NCs film PL emission tuning from 528 to 463 nm with several-fold intensity enhancement. The realization of precisely controlled photoluminescence from the perovskite nanocrystal film would have wide applications in the optical and imaging fields.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have been extensively studied in recent years as efficient optical materials for their bright and color-tunable emissions. However, these are mostly confined to their 3D nanocrystals and limited to the anisotropic nanostructures. By exploring the Cs-sublattice-induced metal(II) ion exchange with Pb(II), crack CsPbBr3 perovskite platelet nanocrystals having polar surfaces in all three directions are reported here, which remained different than reported standard square platelets. The crack platelets are also passivated with halides to enhance their brightness. Further, as these crack and passivated crack platelets have defects and polar surfaces, the exciton and biexciton generation in these platelets is investigated using femtosecond photoluminescence and transient absorption measurement at ambient as well as cryogenic temperatures, correlated with time-resolved single-particle photoluminescence spectroscopy, and compared with standard square platelets having nonpolar facets. These investigations revealed that the crack platelets and passivated crack platelets possess enhanced biexciton emission compared to square platelets due to the presence of polar surfaces in all three directions. These results provide insights into not only the design of the anisotropic nanostructures of ionic nanocrystals but also the possibility of tuning the single exciton to biexciton generation efficiency, which has potential applications in optoelectronic systems.

Abstract
A theoretical description of biexcitons in metal halide perovskite nanoplatelets is presented. The description is based on a variational effective mass model, including polaronic effects by means of a Haken potential. The strong quantum and dielectric confinements are shown to squeeze the biexciton under the polaronic radius, which greatly enhances Coulomb attractions and (to a lesser extent) repulsions. This explains the need for effective dielectric constants approaching the high-frequency limit in previous simulations, and the binding energies exceeding 40 meV observed in single-monolayer nanoplatelets. Biexcitons are formed by a pair of weakly interacting excitons, with a roughly rectangular geometry. This translates into a constant ratio between biexciton and exciton binding energies (2D Haynes rule) well below the ideal value of ΔBX/ΔX = 0.228 proposed for squared biexcitons. The ratio is independent of the number of monolayers in the platelet, but it does depend on the lateral and dielectric confinement.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have demonstrated superior sensitivity, lower detection limits, stability, and exceptional photoelectric properties in comparison to existing commercially available X-ray detector materials, showing their potential for shaping the next generation of X-ray detectors. Nevertheless, significant challenges persist in the seamless integration of these materials into pixelated array sensors for large-area X-ray direct detection imaging. In this article, we propose a strategy for fabricating large-scale array devices using a double-sided bonding process. The approach involves depositing a wet film on the surface of a thin-film transistor substrate to establish a robust bond between the substrate and δ-CsPbI3 wafer via van der Waals force, thereby facilitating area-array imaging. Additionally, the freestanding polycrystalline δ-CsPbI3 wafer demonstrated a competitive ultralow detection limit of 3.46 nGyair s-1 under 50 kVP X-ray irradiation, and the δ-CsPbI3 wafer still maintains a stable signal output (signal current drift is 3.5 × 10-5 pA cm-1 s-1 V-1) under the accumulated radiation dose of 234.9 mGyair. This strategy provides a novel perspective for the industrial production of large-area X-ray flat panel detectors utilizing perovskites and their derivatives.

Abstract
Quasi-2D perovskites light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have achieved significant progress due to their superior optical and electronic properties. However, the blue PeLEDs still exist inefficient energy transfer and electroluminescence performance caused by mixed multidimensional phase distribution. In this work, transition metal salt (zinc bromide, ZnBr2) is introduced to modulate phase distributions by suppressing the nucleation of high n phase perovskites, which effectively shortens the energy transfer path for blue emission. Moreover, ZnBr2 also facilitates energy level matching and reduces non-radiative recombination, thus improving electroluminescence (EL) efficiency. Benefiting from these combined improvements, an efficient blue PeLEDs is obtained with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.2% peaking located at 486 nm. This work provides a promising approach to tune phase distribution of quasi-2D perovskites and achieving highly efficient blue PeLEDs.

Abstract
Photoluminescence intermittency remains one of the biggest challenges in realizing perovskite quantum dots (QDs) as scalable single photon emitters. We compare CsPbBr3 QDs capped with different ligands, lecithin, and a combination of oleic acid and oleylamine, to elucidate the role of surface chemistry on photoluminescence intermittency. We employ widefield photoluminescence microscopy to sample the blinking behavior of hundreds of QDs. Using change point analysis, we achieve the robust classification of blinking trajectories, and we analyze representative distributions from large numbers of QDs (Nlecithin = 1308, Noleic acid/oleylamine = 1317). We find that lecithin suppresses blinking in CsPbBr3 QDs compared with oleic acid/oleylamine. Under common experimental conditions, lecithin-capped QDs are 7.5 times more likely to be nonblinking and spend 2.5 times longer in their most emissive state, despite both QDs having nearly identical solution photoluminescence quantum yields. We measure photoluminescence as a function of dilution and show that the differences between lecithin and oleic acid/oleylamine capping emerge at low concentrations during preparation for single particle experiments. From experiment and first-principles calculations, we attribute the differences in lecithin and oleic acid/oleylamine performance to differences in their ligand binding equilibria. Consistent with our experimental data, density functional theory calculations suggest a stronger binding affinity of lecithin to the QD surface compared to oleic acid/oleylamine, implying a reduced likelihood of ligand desorption during dilution. These results suggest that using more tightly binding ligands is a necessity for surface passivation and, consequently, blinking reduction in perovskite QDs used for single particle and quantum light experiments.

Abstract
We report a simple synthesis of a new lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid halide compound, (5P1)InBr5·2H2O [(5P1) = NH3C6H12NH3], which hosts isolated and distorted octahedra of [InBr5(H2O)]2-, surrounded by bulky asymmetric organic cations [(5P1)2+] and H2O molecules. The hybrid crystals exhibit broad self trapped excitonic (STE) emission due to strong anharmonic soft structure.

Abstract
Halide perovskite (HPs) nanostructures have recently gained extensive worldwide attentions because of their remarkable optoelectronic properties and fast developments. However, intrinsic instability against environmental factors-i.e., temperature, humidity, illumination, and oxygen-restricted their real-life applications. HPs are typically synthesized as colloids by employing organic solvents and ligands. Consequently, the precise control and tuning of complex 3D perovskite morphologies are challenging and have hardly been achieved by conventional fabrication methods. Here, we combine the benefits of self-assembly of biomolecules and an ion exchange reaction (IER) approach to customize HPs spatial shapes and composition. Initially, we apply a biomineralization approach, using biological templates (such as biopolymers, proteins, or protein assemblies), modulating the morphology of MCO3 (M = Ca2+, Ba2+) nano/microstructures. We then show that the morphology of the materials can be maintained throughout an IER process to form surface HPs with a wide variety of morphologies. The fabricated core-shell structures of metal carbonates and HPs introduce nano/microcomposites that can be sculpted into a wide diversity of 3D architectures suitable for various potential applications such as sensors, detectors, catalysis, etc. As a prototype, we fabricate disposable humidity sensors with an 11-95% detection range by casting the formed bio-templated nano/micro-composites on paper substrate.

Abstract
Excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation has serious damage to human's health, therefore the development of visible, portable, and wearable sensor for monitoring UV radiation, especially the cumulative UV dosage, is highly desired but full of challenges. Herein, a wearable and flexible UV dosimeter based on photochromic perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is designed. The obtained CsPbCl3 PNCs dispersed in dibromomethane (PNCs-DBM) undergo continuous, vivid, and multiple (from very weak purple to blue, cyan, and finally strong green) color change in response to UV radiation. It is demonstrated that the UV-induced degradation of DBM and subsequent anion-exchange reaction between CsPbCl3 and Br-, play a crucial role in the color change of PNCs-DBM. The properties of continuous fluorescence color change and enhanced fluorescence intensity enable the construction of sensitive and visible UV dosimeter. Furthermore, by integrated photochromic PNCs with flexible bracelet or PDMS substrate, a wearable UV sensor or a multi-indicator array for the detection of solar UV dosage is developed. This work may advance the fundamental understanding about photochromic perovskite, and show promising application of perovskite nanomaterials in easily fabricated, low-cost, visualized, and wearable solar UV dosimeter.

Abstract
The design of smart stimuli-responsive photoluminescent materials capable of multi-level encryption and complex information storage is highly sought after in the current information era. Here, a novel adamantyl-capped CsPbBr3 (AD-CsPbBr3) perovskite NCs, along with its supramolecular host-guest assembly partner a modified β-CD (mCD), mCD@AD-CsPbBr3, are designed and prepared. By dispersing these two materials in different solvents, namely, AD-CsPbBr3 in toluene, mCD@AD-CsPbBr3 in toluene, and mCD@AD-CsPbBr3 in methanol, the three solutions exhibit diverse photoluminescence (PL) turn-on/off or PL discoloration response upon supramolecular stimulus. Based on these responses, a proof-of-principle programmable Multi-Level Photoluminescence Encoding System (MPLES) is established. Three types of four-level and three types of three-level information encoding are achieved by the system. A layer-by-layer four-level information encryption and decryption as well as a two-level encrypted 3D code are successfully achieved.

Abstract
Iodide perovskites have demonstrated their unprecedented high efficiency and commercialization potential, and their superior optoelectronic properties, such as high absorption coefficient, high carrier mobility, and narrow direct bandgap, have attracted much attention, especially in solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, whether it is organic iodide perovskite, organic-inorganic hybrid iodide perovskite or all-inorganic iodide perovskite the stability of these iodide perovskites is still poor and the contamination is high. In recent years, scholars have studied more iodide perovskites to improve their stability as well as optoelectronic properties from various angles. This paper systematically reviews the strategies (component engineering, additive engineering, dimensionality reduction engineering, and phase mixing engineering) used to improve the stability of iodide perovskites and their applications in recent years.

Abstract
Solution-processed colloidal nanocrystals of lead halide perovskites have been intensively investigated in recent years in the context of optoelectronic devices, during which time their quantum properties have also begun to attract attention. Their unmatched ease of synthetic tunability and unique structural, optical and electronic properties, in conjunction with the confinement of carriers in three dimensions, have motivated studies on observing and controlling coherent light-matter interaction in these materials for quantum information technologies. This Review outlines the recent efforts and achievements in this direction. Particularly notable examples are the observation of coherent single-photon emission, evidence for superfluorescence and the realization of room-temperature coherent spin manipulation for ensemble samples, which have not been achieved for prototypical colloidal CdSe nanocrystals that have been under investigation for decades. This Review aims to highlight these results, point out the challenges ahead towards realistic applications and bring together the efforts of multidisciplinary communities in this nascent field.

Abstract
Perovskite nanograins exceeding the Bohr exciton diameter show great potential for high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their bandgap homogeneity, spatial charge confinement, and nonlocal interaction. However, it is challenging to directly synthesize proper nanograins along with reduced crystal defects on functional substrate, and the corresponding high-efficiency perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) have rarely been reported. In this study, crystallization modulation for perovskites with an effective co-additive system, including lithium bromide, p-fluorophenethylammonium bromide, and 18-crown-6, is performed. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the proposed co-additive system can synergistically retard perovskite crystallization and reduce crystal defects. Consequently, high-quality perovskite nanograin solids (≈22.8 nm) are obtained with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (≈88%). These superior optical properties contribute to developing efficient green PeLEDs with a champion external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 28.4% and an average EQE of 27.1%. The co-additive system can be universally applied to mixed-halide perovskite nanograin LED, presenting a maximum EQE of 24.4%, 21.6%, 17.5%, and 11.1% for the blue device at 496, 488, 478, and 472 nm, respectively, along with a narrow spectral linewidth (17-14 nm) and stable color. These results supplement the research on high-efficiency perovskite nanograin LEDs for multicolor displays and lighting.

Abstract
Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have received considerable attention as fluorescent materials due to their excellent optical properties. However, because PQDs contain ionic bonds, they have the disadvantage of being vulnerable to environmental conditions, so improving their stability is essential. Indeed, recent research has focused on improving both the stability and luminescence of PQDs by mixing them with methyl acetate (MeOAc) to suppress surface defects via purification. MeOAc reacts with the surface ligands of PQDs, resulting in ligand-controlled purification. However, while the ligands are limited for the PQD synthesis, the effect of ligand alkyl-chain length has not been reported. Therefore, we report herein a strategy for obtaining stable PQDs with tunable performances by using amine ligands of various chain lengths. The amine ligand is selected because it is very effective in interacting with the halide vacancies present on the surface of the perovskite crystal structure. The results indicate that MeOAc becomes less effective as the chain length of the ligand is increased, and more effective as the chain length is decreased. Consequently, PQDs treated with MeOAc and a short-chain ligand afford a quantum yield (QY) of 79.2% and are highly stable when exposed to thermal and ambient conditions. Therefore, we suggest a facile approach to suppressing the degradation of PQDs during the fabrication process.

Abstract
All-inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) show great potential for the next generation of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, trap-assisted recombination negatively impacts the optoelectronic properties of PeNCs and prevents their widespread adoption for commercial exploitation. To mitigate trap-assisted recombination and further enhance the external quantum efficiency of PeLEDs, A/B-site doping has been widely investigated to tune the bandgap of PeNCs. The bandgap of PeNCs is adjustable within a small range (no more than 0.1 eV) by A-site cation doping, resulting in changes in the bond length of Pb-X and the angle of [PbX6]4. Nevertheless, B-site doping of PeNCs has a more significant impact on the bandgap level through modification of surface defect states. In this perspective, we delve into the synthesis of PeNCs with A/B-site doping and their impacts on the structural and optoelectronic properties, as well as their impacts on the performance of subsequent PeLEDs. Furthermore, we explore the A-site and B-site doping mechanisms and the impact of device architecture on doped PeNCs to maximize the performance and stability of PeLEDs. This work presents a comprehensive overview of the studies on A-site and B-site doping in PeNCs and approaches to unlock their full potential in the next generation of LEDs.

Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional perovskite has been widely used in blue perovskite light-emitting diodes. However, the performance of these devices is still hampered by random phase distribution, nonradiative recombination, and imbalanced carrier transport. In this work, an effective strategy is proposed to mitigate these limitations by inserting lithium salts at the interfaces between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the perovskite layer. The perovskite film on the inserted Li2CO3 layer exhibits reasonable n-value redistribution, which leads to the repressive nonradiation recombination and enhanced carrier transport. Moreover, the inserted Li2CO3 layer also improves the electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS and hinders indium ion diffusion from the PEDOT:PSS layer to the perovskite film, which inhibits exciton quenching and nonradiative recombination loss at the HTL/perovskite interface. Taking advantage of these merits, we have successfully fabricated efficient pure-blue PeLEDs with an external quantum efficiency of 6.2% at 472 nm and a luminance of 726 cd cm-2. The restraint of nonradiative recombination at the interface offers a promising approach for efficient pure-blue PeLEDs.

Abstract
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals enable the realization and exploitation of quantum phenomena in a controlled manner, and can be scaled up for commercial uses. These materials have become important for a wide range of applications, from ultrahigh definition displays, to solar cells, quantum computing, bioimaging, optical communications, and many more. Over the last decade, lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals have rapidly gained prominence as efficient semiconductors. Although the majority of studies have focused on large nanocrystals in the weak- to intermediate-confinement regime, quantum dots (QDs) in the strongly-confined regime (with sizes smaller than the Bohr diameter, which ranges from 4-12 nm for lead-halide perovskites) offer unique opportunities, including polarized light emission and color-pure, stable luminescence in the region that is unattainable by perovskites with single-halide compositions. In this tutorial review, we bring together the latest insights into this emerging and rapidly growing area, focusing on the synthesis, steady-state optical properties (including exciton fine-structure splitting), and transient kinetics (including hot carrier cooling) of strongly-confined perovskite QDs. We also discuss recent advances in their applications, including single photon emission for quantum technologies, as well as light-emitting diodes. We finish with our perspectives on future challenges and opportunities for strongly-confined QDs, particularly around improving the control over monodispersity and stability, important fundamental questions on the photophysics, and paths forward to improve the performance of perovskite QDs in light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 hexagonal NCs with a bright photoluminescence (PL) peak of 456 nm are created through the dissolution-recrystallization of CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets. Small CsPbBr3 nanocrystals are encapsulated in hexagonal Cs4PbBr6 during recrystallization to form a core-shell structure and keep high brightness and stability. The recrystallization kinetics is systematically investigated to explore the roles of methyl acetate, oleylamine, and n-hexane. Result further indicates that core/shell NCs remained high PL under a variety of harsh conditions (e.g., light irradiation and heat treatment) because of Cs4PbX6 shell and the controlling of recrystallization. Their initial PL intensity is remained after 4 months of storage under ambient conditions and continuous exposure to UV lamp for 180 min. The bright PL is also maintained even treatment at 120 °C. To indicate the universality of this synthesis method, CsPbX3@Cs4PbX6 hexagonal NCs with different emission colors are fabricated by changing temperature, solvent viscosity, and precursors (e,g, oleylamine and halogens). These core-shell samples reveal bright and stable green, orange, and red PL. Because of its high stability, the core/shell NCs are dispersed in flexible films to create diverse patterns. The films also exhibit high brightness and excellent stability. This strategy opens a novel avenue for the application of perovskite nanomaterials in the display field.

Abstract
The use of semiconductor nanocrystals in scalable quantum technologies requires characterization of the exciton coherence dynamics in an ensemble of electronically isolated crystals in which system-bath interactions are nevertheless strong. In this communication, we identify signatures of Fano-like interference between excitons and photocarriers in the coherent two-dimensional photoluminescence excitation spectral lineshapes of mixed lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals in dilute solution. Specifically, by tuning the femtosecond-pulse spectrum, we show such interference in an intermediate coupling regime, which is evident in the coherent lineshape when simultaneously exciting the exciton and the free-carrier band at higher energy. We conclude that this interference is an intrinsic effect that will be consequential in the quantum dynamics of the system and will thus dictate decoherence dynamics, with consequences in their application in quantum technologies.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites (DPs) have become notable in white light emission applications due to the self-trapped exciton (STE) formation in the excited state. However, the mechanism understanding of the excited state dynamics and transport of STE remains ambiguous. Here, we demonstrate a new STE (Bi-STE) forming in tiny Bi-doped Cs2Na0.4Ag0.6InCl6, alongside its intrinsic STE (i-STE), resulting in the DPs photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) increasing to as high as >90%. The i-STE exhibits faster formation (60 fs) and slower relaxation dynamics (2.8 μs) compared to the Bi-STE. Moreover, we unveil that the Bi doping can augment the i-STE diffusion properties to attain a diffusion coefficient (diffusion length) of 0.012 cm2 s-1 (1.7 μm) at room temperature, indicating their promise in photovoltaic applications. Our results shed light on significant STE dynamics and transport mechanisms in DPs, providing a new roadmap for advancing existing and crafting new DPs in light emission applications.

Abstract
Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) show promise for high-definition displays due to their exceptional electroluminescent properties. However, the performance of pure blue PeLEDs is hindered by the unfavorable ionic behavior of halides and the presence of defective antisites in blue-emitting perovskite materials. An unstable buried interface between charge transport layers and the perovskite emitting layer is a major issue that limits carrier transport and recombination behavior in PeLEDs. In this study, effective buried defect passivation of pure blue perovskite emitting layers by introducing guanidinium chloride (GACl) as a bottom-passivating layer is demonstrated. The GACl bottom layer not only passivates the point defects present at the buried interface but also provides chloride anions to suppress ion migration and halide vacancy formation. Along with the defect passivation, GACl also enforces phase purity of 2D layered structure in the perovskite emitting layers to improve crystallinity and optoelectronic properties. As a result, the PeLEDs with high brightness (1200 cd m-2) and excellent external quantum efficiency (6.61%) are achieved at a spectrally stable pure blue electroluminescence at 471 nm (band width = 17.63 nm). This study offers insights into the straightforward way for effective buried passivation for preparing high-performance PeLEDs.

Abstract
All-inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have attracted increasing attention because of their high thermal stability and band gap tunability. Among them, CsPbCl3 is considered a promising semiconductor material for visible-ultraviolet dual-band photodetectors because of its excellent photoelectric properties and suitable band gap value. In this work, we fabricated a visible-ultraviolet dual-band photodetector based on a CsPbCl3/p-GaN heterojunction using the spin coating method. The formation of the heterojunction enables the device to exhibit obvious dual-band response behavior at positive and negative bias voltages. At the same time, the dark current of the device can be as low as 2.42 × 10-9 A, and the corresponding detection rate can reach 5.82 × 1010 Jones. In addition, through simulation calculations, it was found that the heterojunction has a type II energy band arrangement, and the heterojunction response band light absorption is significantly enhanced. The type II energy band arrangement will separate electron-hole pairs more effectively, which will help improve device performance. The successful implementation of visible-ultraviolet dual-band photodetectors based on a CsPbCl3/p-GaN heterojunction provides guidance for the application of all-inorganic MHPs in the field of multi-band photodetectors.

Abstract
Almost all colloidal quantum dots (QDs) exhibit undesired photoluminescence (PL) blinking, which poses a significant obstacle to their use in numerous luminescence applications. An in-depth study of the blinking behavior, along with the associated mechanisms, can provide critical opportunities for fabricating high-quality QDs for diverse applications. Here the blinking of a large series of colloidal QDs is investigated with different surface ligands, particle sizes, shell thicknesses, and compositions. It is found that the blinking behavior of single alloyed CdSe/ZnS QDs with a shell thickness of up to 2 nm undergoes an irreversible conversion from Auger-blinking to band-edge carrier blinking (BC-blinking). Contrastingly, single perovskite QDs with particle sizes smaller than their Bohr diameters exhibit reversible conversion between BC-blinking and more pronounced Auger-blinking. Changes in the effective trapping sites under different excitation conditions are found to be responsible for the blinking type conversions. Additionally, changes in shell thickness and particle size of QDs have a significant effect on the blinking type conversions due to altered wavefunction overlap between excitons and effective trapping sites. This study elucidates the discrepancies in the blinking behavior of various QD samples observed in previous reports and provides deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying diverse types of blinking.

Abstract
As one type of recent emerging lead-free perovskites, Cs2ZrCl6 nanocrystals are widely concerned, benefiting from the eminent designability, high X-ray cutoff efficiency, and favorable stability. Improving the luminescence performance of Cs2ZrCl6 nanocrystals has great importance to cater for practical applications. In view of the surface defects frequently formed by the liquid phase method, the particle morphology and surface quality of this material are expected to be regulated if certain intervention is made in the synthesis process. In the work, differing from normal cell lattice modulation based on the ion doping, the grain size and surface morphology of Cs2ZrCl6 nanocrystals are optimized via adding a certain amount of InCl3 to the synthetic solution. The surface defects are restored to inhibit the defect-induced non-radiative transition, resulting in the improvement of the luminescence properties. Moreover, a flexible Cs2ZrCl6@polydimethylsiloxane film with excellent heat, water, and bending resistance and a light-emitting diode (LED) device are fabricated, exhibiting excellent application potential for X-ray imaging and blue LED.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites, particularly the quasi-two-dimensional perovskite subclass, have exhibited considerable potential for next-generation electroluminescent materials for lighting and display. Nevertheless, the presence of defects within these perovskites has a substantial influence on the emission efficiency and durability of the devices. In this study, we revealed a synergistic passivation mechanism on perovskite films by using a dual-functional compound of potassium bromide. The dual functional potassium bromide on the one hand can passivate the defects of halide vacancies with bromine anions and, on the other hand, can screen the charged defects at the grain boundaries with potassium cations. This approach effectively reduces the probability of carriers quenching resulting from charged defects capture and consequently enhances the radiative recombination efficiency of perovskite thin films, leading to a significant enhancement of photoluminescence quantum yield to near-unity values (95%). Meanwhile, the potassium bromide treatment promoted the growth of homogeneous and smooth film, facilitating the charge carrier injection in the devices. Consequently, the perovskite light-emitting diodes based on this strategy achieve a maximum external quantum efficiency of ~ 21% and maximum luminance of ~ 60,000 cd m-2. This work provides a deeper insight into the passivation mechanism of ionic compound additives in perovskite with the solution method.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404202. [PMID: 38525500 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Endowing perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) offers great promise for innovative chiroptical applications, but the existing strategies are inefficient in acquiring stimuli-responsive flexible chiral perovskite films with large, tunable dissymmetry factor (glum) and long-term stability. Here, we report a strategy for the design and synthesis of luminescent cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer (Lumin-CLCE) films with mechanically tunable CPL, which is enabled by liquid crystal-templated chiral self-assembly and in situ covalent cross-linking of judiciously designed photopolymerizable CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I) PQD nanomonomers into the elastic polymer networks. The resulting Lumin-CLCE films showcase circularly polarized structural color in natural light and noticeable CPL with a maximum glum value of up to 1.5 under UV light. The manipulation of CPL intensity and rotation direction is achieved by controlling the self-assembled helicoidal nanostructure and the handedness of soft helices. A significant breakthrough lies in the achievement of a reversible, mechanically tunable perovskite-based CPL switch activated by biaxial stretching, which enables flexible, dynamic anti-counterfeiting labels capable of decrypting preset information in specific polarization states. This work can provide new insights for the development of advanced chiral perovskite materials and their emerging applications in information encryption, flexible 3D displays, and beyond.

Abstract
Amidst the rapid advancements in the fields of photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices, CsPbBr3 nanosheets (NSs) have emerged as a focal point of research due to their exceptional optical and electronic properties. This work explores the application potential of CsPbBr3 NSs in photonic and catalytic domains. Utilizing an optimized hot-injection method and a ZnBr2-assisted in situ passivation strategy, we successfully synthesized CsPbBr3 NSs with controlled dimensions and optical characteristics. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the nucleation environment and thickness significantly influenced the structure and optical performance of the materials. The results indicate that the optimized synthesis method enables control over the lateral dimensions of the nanoparticles, ranging from 9.1 ± 0.06 nm to 334.5 ± 4.40 nm, facilitating the tuning of the excitation wavelength from 460 nm (blue) to 510 nm (green). Further analyses involving photoresponse and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated the substantial potential of these NSs in applications such as photocatalysis and energy conversion.

Abstract
Efficiency is paramount in enhancing the performance and cost-effectiveness of solar cells. Recent advancements in single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have yielded an impressive efficiency of 26.1%, nearing their theoretical limit. Meanwhile, multi-junction tandem solar cells exhibit a remarkable efficiency potential exceeding 42%, surpassing the 33% limit of single-junction cells, thereby opening avenues for ultra-high-efficiency solar cells. Tandem solar cells (TSCs) represent a groundbreaking photovoltaic technology, offering high efficiency, low cost, and a simple fabrication process. Among various TSCs, perovskite-organic TSCs (PO TSCs) are particularly promising due to their ability to leverage the complementary strengths of PSCs and organic solar cells (OSCs). PO TSCs are poised to outperform existing TSCs in terms of device performance, manufacturing cost, and diverse applications. The introduction of Y6-series non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) over the past three years has significantly advanced the development of OSCs, leading to remarkable progress in PO TSCs. This paper commences by elucidating the advantages and potential of OSCs as bottom sub-cells in PO TSCs, followed by an in-depth review of mainstream interconnection layer (ICL) design. It then addresses key challenges in wide bandgap PSCs, including phase segregation, photovoltage loss, energy loss, and long-term stability. The paper concludes by examining critical factors influencing the future development of PO TSCs.

Abstract
Near-Infrared (NIR) light emitting metal halides are emerging as a new generation of optical materials owing to their appealing features, which include low-cost synthesis, solution processability, and adjustable optical properties. NIR-emitting perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have reached an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of over 20% and a device stability of over 10,000 h. Such results have sparked an interest in exploring new NIR metal halide emitters. In this review, several different types of NIR-emitting metal halides, including lead/tin bromide/iodide perovskites, lanthanide ions doped/based metal halides, double perovskites, low dimensional hybrid and Bi3+/Sb3+/Cr3+ doped metal halides, are summarized, and their recent advancement is assessed. The characteristics and mechanisms of narrow-band or broadband NIR luminescence in all these materials are discussed in detail. Also, the various applications of NIR-emitting metal halides are highlighted and an outlook for the field is provided.

Abstract
Low-dimensional metal halide perovskites are an emerging class of light-emitting materials for LED-based displays; however, their B-site cations are confined to ns2, d5, and d10 metals. Here, the design of divalent rare earth ions at B-site is presented and a novel Eu(II)-based iodide hybrid is reported with efficient (PLQY ≈98%) narrow-band (FWHM ≈43 nm) green emission and high thermal stability (97%@150 °C). Owing to reduced lattice vibrations and shrunken average distance of Eu(II)-iodide bonds in the face-sharing 1D-structure, photoluminescence from Eu(II) 4f-5d transition appears along with elevated crystal-field splitting of 5d energy level. The Eu(II)-based iodide hybrid is further demonstrated for color-pure green phosphor-converted LEDs with a maximum brightness of ≈396 000 cd m-2 and photoelectric efficiency of 29.2%. High-resolution micrometer-scale light-emitting diode (micro-LED) displays (2540 PPI) via the solution-processed screen is also presented. This work thus showcases a compelling narrow-band green emitter for commercial micro-LED displays.

Abstract
Inorganic cesium lead bromide nanocrystals (CsPbBr3 NCs) hold promising prospects for high performance green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) due to their exceptional color purity and high luminescence efficiency. However, the common ligands employed for passivating these indispensable NCs, such as long-chain organic ligands like oleic acid and oleylamine (OA/OAm), display highly dynamic binding and electronic insulating issues, thereby resulting in a low efficiency of the as-fabricated LEDs. Herein, we report a new zwitterionic short-branched alkyl sulfobetaine ligand, namely trioctyl(propyl-3-sulfonate) ammonium betaine (TOAB), to in situ passivate CsPbBr3 NCs via a feasible one-step solution synthesis, enabling efficiency improvement of CsPbBr3 NC-based LEDs. The zwitterionic TOAB ligand not only strengthened the surface passivation of CsPbBr3 NCs with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 97%, but also enhanced the carrier transport in the fabricated CsPbBr3 NC thin films due to the short-branched alkyl design. Consequently, CsPbBr3 NCs passivated with TOAB achieved a green LED with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.3% and a maximum luminance of 5716 cd m-2, surpassing those of LEDs based on insulating long-chain ligand-passivated NCs. Our work provides an effective surface passivation ligand design to enhance the performance of CsPbBr3 NC-based LEDs.

Abstract
The development of pure-blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) faces challenges of spectral stability and low external quantum efficiency (EQE) due to phase separation in mixed halide compositions. Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) with strong confinement effects are promising alternatives to achieve high-quality pure-blue PeLEDs, yet their performance is often hindered by the poor size distribution and high trap density. A strategy combining thermodynamic control with a polishing-driven ligand exchange process to produce high-quality QDs is developed. The strongly-confined pure-blue (≈470 nm) CsPbBr3 QDs exhibit narrow size distribution (12% dispersion) and are achieved in Br-rich ion environment based on growth thermodynamic control. Subsequent polishing-driven ligand exchange process removes imperfect surface sites and replaces initial long-chain organic ligands with short-chain benzene ligands. The resulting QDs exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) to near-unity. The resulting PeLEDs exhibit a pure-blue electroluminescence (EL) emission at 472 nm with narrow full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 25 nm, achieving a maximum EQE of 10.7% and a bright maximum luminance of 7697 cd m-2. The pure-blue PeLEDs show ultrahigh spectral stability under high voltage, a low roll-off of EQE, and an operational half-lifetime (T50) of 127 min at an initial luminance of 103 cd m-2 under continuous operation.

Abstract
Recently, the utilization of metal halide perovskites in sensing and their application in environmental studies have reached a new height. Among the different metal halide perovskites, cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3; X = Cl, Br, and I) and composites have attracted great interest in sensing applications owing to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. Most CsPbX3 nanostructures and composites possess great structural stability, luminescence, and electrical properties for developing distinct optical and photonic devices. When exposed to light, heat, and water, CsPbX3 and composites can display stable sensing utilities. Many CsPbX3 and composites have been reported as probes in the detection of diverse analytes, such as metal ions, anions, important chemical species, humidity, temperature, radiation photodetection, and so forth. So far, the sensing studies of metal halide perovskites covering all metallic and organic-inorganic perovskites have already been reviewed in many studies. Nevertheless, a detailed review of the sensing utilities of CsPbX3 and composites could be helpful for researchers who are looking for innovative designs using these nanomaterials. Herein, we deliver a thorough review of the sensing utilities of CsPbX3 and composites, in the quantitation of metal ions, anions, chemicals, explosives, bioanalytes, pesticides, fungicides, cellular imaging, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic gases, humidity, temperature, radiation, and photodetection. Furthermore, this review also covers the synthetic pathways, design requirements, advantages, limitations, and future directions for this material.

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
Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been considered new-generation emitters for lighting and displays due to their high photoluminescence (PL) efficiency, and pure color. However, their commercialization process is currently hindered by the challenge of mass production in a quick and environmentally friendly manner. In this study, a polymer-surface-mediated mechanochemical reaction (PMR) is proposed to prepare perovskite QDs using a high-speed multifunction grinder for the first time. PMR possesses two distinctive features: i) The ultra-high rotating speed (>15 000 rpm) of the grinder facilitates the rapid conversion of the precursor to perovskite; ii) The surface-rich polymer particulate ensures QDs with high dispersity, avoiding QD aggregation-induced PL quenching. Therefore, PMR can successfully manufacture green perovskite QDs with a high PL quantum yield (PLQY) exceeding 90% in a highly material- (100% yield), time- (1 kg min-1), and effort- (solvent-free) efficient manner. Moreover, the PMR demonstrates remarkable versatility, including synthesizing by various polymers and producing diverse colored and Pb-free phosphors. Importantly, these phosphors featuring a combination of polymer and perovskite, are facilely processed into various solid emitters. The proposed rapid, green, and scalable approach has great potential to accelerate the commercialization of perovskite QDs.

Abstract
The lack of stability of red perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) remains the main problem that restricts their patterning application. In this work, the dual-ligand passivation strategy was introduced to stabilize PeNCs and inhibit their halogen ion migration during high-voltage electrohydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet printing. The as-printed red arrays exhibit the highest emisson intensity and least blue shift compared with samples with other passivation strategies under a high electric field during EHD inkjet printing. Combining with blue and green PeNC inks, single-color and tricolor color conversion layer arrays were successfully printed, with minimum pixel size of 5 μm and the highest spatial resolution of 2540 dpi. The color coordinate of CsPbBrI2 NCs arrays are located close to the red point, with a color gumat of 97.28% of Rec. 2020 standard. All of these show great potential in the application of color conversion layers in a near-eye micro-LED display.

Abstract
Recently emerging perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are very attractive fluorescence nanomaterials due to their very narrow emission peak, tunable wavelength, and extremely high quantum yield, but their chemosensing, biosensing and bioimaging applications suffer from the poor stability of ordinary PNCs in aqueous media, especially in biological matrices. Recently developed water-stable 2D CsPb2Br5-encapsulated 3D CsPbBr3 PNCs (i.e., CsPbBr3/CsPb2Br5 PNCs) show extremely stable light emission in pure water, but their fluorescence is seriously quenched in aqueous media containing biological molecules due to their chemical reactions. In this work, we used a facile method to encapsulate pure water-stable CsPbBr3/CsPb2Br5 PNCs in water with SiO2 and polyethylene glycol hexadecyl ether (Brij58) into a new kind of biological environment-stable PNCs (CsPbBr3/CsPb2Br5@SiO2-Brij58). The synthesis of the target PNCs can be accomplished in a fast, easy, and green way. The obtained CsPbBr3/CsPb2Br5@SiO2-Brij58 PNCs maintain strong fluorescence emission for a long time, all in pH 7.4 PBS, BSA, and minimum essential medium, exhibiting excellent biological environment stability. Moreover, the developed biological environment-stable PNCs show good biocompatibility and have been successfully used in cell imaging. Overall, the work provides an easy, low-cost, and efficient application of PNCs in bioimaging.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:9497-9508.

Abstract
A computational framework based on density functional theory (DFT) has been effectively employed to investigate the wide-ranging physical characteristics of ferromagnetic manganese (Mn)-substituted double perovskites (DPs) with composition Cs2AgIn1-xMnxCl/Br6 (x = 0.0, 0.25). This research covers a systematic exploration of the mentioned DPs for potential applications in the domains of spintronics and energy conversion devices. The physics concerning ferromagnetic (FM) Cs2AgIn0.75Mn0.25Cl/Br6 DPs was studied computationally using the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ-LDA) potential and the generalized gradient approximation (PBEsol GGA) method introduced by Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof. The structural, electronic, magnetic, and transport behavior of materials were investigated using these computations. Structural parameters for both perovskite materials were computed subsequent to their optimization in FM phase. According to evaluations of the electronic band structure and density of states (DOS), the incorporation of Mn ions into the host lattice causes exchange splitting induced by p-d hybridization, consequently stabilizing the FM state. Probing the sharing of magnetic moment, charge, and spin between the substituent cations and the host anions led to the comprehensive elaboration of this exchange splitting of bands. Important parameters such as exchange constants (N0α, N0β), and direct spin-exchange splitting Δx(d), support the stability of the FM state. Finally, we briefly explored the spin effect on other aspects of electronic transport, the Seebeck coefficient, and the power factor, using the conventional Boltzmann transport theory.

Abstract
High-performance pure red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) with an emission wavelength shorter than 650 nm are ideal for wide-color-gamut displays, yet remain an unprecedented challenge to progress. Mixed-halide CsPb(Br/I)3 emitter-based PeLEDs suffer spectral stability induced by halide phase segregation and CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs) suffer from a compromise between emission wavelength and electroluminescence efficiency. Here, we demonstrate efficient pure red PeLEDs with an emission centered at 638 nm based on PbClx -modified CsPbI3 QDs. A nucleophilic reaction that releases chloride ions and manipulates the ligand equilibrium of the colloidal system is developed to synthesize the pure red emission QDs. The comprehensive structural and spectroscopic characterizations evidence the formation of PbClx outside the CsPbI3 QDs, which regulates exciton recombination and prevents the exciton from dissociation induced by surface defects. In consequence, PeLEDs based on PbClx -modified CsPbI3 QDs with superior optoelectronic properties demonstrate stable electroluminescence spectra at high driving voltages, a record external quantum efficiency of 26.1 %, optimal efficiency roll-off of 16.0 % at 1000 cd m-2 , and a half lifetime of 7.5 hours at 100 cd m-2 , representing the state-of-the-art pure red PeLEDs. This work provides new insight into constructing the carrier-confined structure on perovskite QDs for high-performance PeLEDs.

Abstract
Inverted perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) based on quantum dots (QDs) are some of the most promising candidates for next-generation lighting and display applications. Due to the strong fluorescence quenching caused by zinc oxide, high performance in such inverted devices remains challenging. Here, we report an efficient inverted green CsPbBr3 QDs LED using an emitting buffer layer. Ultrathin CsPbBr3 QD emitters act as the buffer layer to reduce the interface luminescence quenching reaction at the ZnO/upper emitting layer interface, increasing the probability of exciton recombination within the emissive layer and regulating the charge transport, leading to effective carrier recombination. The resulting device exhibits an external quantum efficiency of 13.1%, enhanced by about 4.7 times compared with that without a buffer layer device. This work provides a path to fabricating high-performance inverted PeLEDs.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are highly promising for backlighting display applications due to their high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and wide color gamut values. However, the practical applications of blue emitters are limited due to the toxicity of lead, unstable structure, and unsatisfactory PLQY. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of divalent europium-based perovskite CsEuBr3 NCs using a modified hot injection method. By optimizing the reaction conditions, the CsEuBr3 NCs display a deep-blue emission at 443 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 28.5 nm, a color purity of 99.61%, and a record high PLQY of 93.51% for deep-blue narrow-band emissive lead-free perovskite NCs as far as we know. The emission mechanism of CsEuBr3 NCs is proved through first-principles calculations and spectral analysis. Notably, the CsEuBr3 NCs exhibit remarkable stability when exposed to high temperature, UV irradiation, and long-term sealed storage. The incorporation of CsEuBr3 NCs into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) serving as a converter is utilized for white light-emitting devices (WLEDs). WLEDs for backlight displays achieves a wide color gamut of 127.1% of the National Television System Committee standard (NTSC), 94.9% coverage of the ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (Rec.2020), and their half-lifetime is up to 1677 h, providing a promising pathway for highly efficient, environment-friendly and practical liquid crystal display backlights.

Abstract
Recent developments in the synthesis of hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots (HP-QDs) through compositional adjustments have highlighted their potential applications in the fields of photovoltaics and light sources due to their unique optoelectronic properties. However, traditional methods to fine-tune their composition involve repetitive, labor-intensive, and costly processes. Herein, the utilization of a continuous flow chemistry approach is developed, in combination with a Proportional-Integral (PI) feedback control system as an effective method for producing on-demand methylammonium lead bromoiodide (MAPbBrx I3-x ) HP-QDs. The PI feedback control allows for real-time optimization of the flow rates of halide precursor solutions (halide PSs), enabling the precise tuning of the emission wavelength of HP-QDs. HP-QDs having an emission wavelength of 550 and 650 nm are synthesized through a blue-shifted and red-shifted algorithm, respectively, from any arbitrary reaction condition within 400 s. The iterative process through the PI feedback control produces the target HP-QDs with short rise time and low overshoot. The proposed automatic flow chemistry system integrated with a universal and accessible control algorithm of PI can generate the target HP-QDs with high accuracy, stability, and robustness, demonstrating a significant advancement in constructing an autonomous flow chemistry synthetic system.

Abstract
Tetracyclines are currently the most commonly used class of antibiotics, and their residue issue significantly impacts public health safety. In this study, a surface modification of perovskite with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide led to the generation of stable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters in aqueous systems and improved the biocompatibility of perovskite. A perovskite quantum dot-based ECL sensing strategy was developed. Utilizing the corresponding aptamer of the antibiotics, strain displacement reactions were triggered, disrupting the ECL quenching system composed of perovskite and Ag nanoclusters (Ag NCs) on the electrode surface, generating a signal to achieve quantitative detection of several common tetracycline antibiotics. The perovskite quantum dot provided a strong and stable initial signal, while the efficient catalytic activity of the silver cluster enhanced the recognition sensitivity. Tetracycline, chlortetracycline, and oxytetracycline were used as examples to demonstrate the differentiation and quantitative detection through this method. In addition, the aptasensor exhibited analytical performance with the linear range (0.1-10 μM OTC) and good recovery rates of 94.7% to 101.6% in real samples. This approach has the potential to become a sensitive and practical approach for assessing antibiotic residues.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals have absorbed increasing interest, especially in the field of optoelectronics, owing to their unique characteristics, including their tunable luminescence range, robust solution processability, facile synthesis, and so on. However, in practice, due to the inherent instability of the traditional long-chain insulating ligands surrounding perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs), the performance of the as-fabricated QLED is relatively disappointing. Herein, the zwitterion 3-(decyldimethylammonio)propanesulfonate (DLPS) with the capability of double passivating perovskite quantum dots could effectively replace the original long-chain ligand simply through a multistep post-treatment strategy to finally inhibit the formation of defects. It was indicated from theexperimental results that the DLPS, as one type of ligand with the bimolecular ion, was very adavntageous in replacing long-chain ligands and further suppressing the formation of defects. Finally, the perovskite quantum dots with greatly enhanced PLQY as high as 98% were effectively achieved. Additionally, the colloidal stability of the corresponding PeQDs has been significantly enhanced, and a transparent colloidal solution was obtained after 45 days under ambient conditions. Finally, the as-fabricated QLEDs based on the ligand-exchanged PeQDs exhibited a maximum brightness of 9464 cd/m2 and an EQE of 12.17%.

Abstract
The performance of blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) lags behind the green and red counterparts owing to high trap density and undesirable red shift of the electroluminescence spectrum under operation conditions. Organic molecular additives were employed as passivators in previous reports. However, most commonly have limited functions, making it challenging to effectively address both efficiency and stability issues simultaneously. Herein, we reported an innovatively dynamic in situ hydrolysis strategy to modulate quasi-2D sky-blue perovskites by the multifunctional passivator phenyl dichlorophosphate that not only passivated the defects but also underwent in situ hydrolysis reaction to stabilize the emission. Moreover, hydrolysis products were beneficial for low-dimensional phase manipulation. Eventually, we obtained high-performance sky-blue PeLEDs with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.32% and an exceptional luminance of 5740 cd m-2. More importantly, the emission peak of devices located at 485 nm remained stable under different biases. Our work signified the significant advancement toward realizing future applications of PeLEDs.

SCIENCE ADVANCES 2024; 10:eadj2630. [PMID: 38381813 PMCID: PMC10881049 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adj2630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
In semiconductors, exciton or charge carrier diffusivity is typically described as an inherent material property. Here, we show that the transport of excitons among CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) depends markedly on how recently those NCs were occupied by a previous exciton. Using transient photoluminescence microscopy, we observe a striking dependence of the apparent exciton diffusivity on excitation laser power that does not arise from nonlinear exciton-exciton interactions or thermal heating. We interpret our observations with a model in which excitons cause NCs to transition to a long-lived metastable configuration that markedly increases exciton transport. The exciton diffusivity observed here (>0.15 square centimeters per second) is considerably higher than that observed in other NC systems, revealing unusually strong excitonic coupling between NCs. The finding of a persistent enhancement in excitonic coupling may help explain other photophysical behaviors observed in CsPbBr3 NCs, such as superfluorescence, and inform the design of optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are emerging semiconductor materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their unique structure and superior optoelectronic properties. However, defects that initiate degradation of LHPs through external stimuli and prompt internal ion migration at the interfaces remain a significant challenge. The electric field (EF), which is a fundamental driving force in LED operation, complicates the role of these defects in the physical and chemical properties of LHPs. A deeper understanding of EF-induced defect behavior is crucial for optimizing the LED performance. In this review, the origins and characterization of defects are explored, indicating the influence of EF-induced defect dynamics on LED performance and stability. A comprehensive overview of recent defect passivation approaches for LHP bulk films and nanocrystals (NCs) is also provided. Given the ubiquity of EF, a summary of the EF-induced defect behavior can enhance the performance of perovskite LEDs and related optoelectronic devices.
