: Halide exchange is a popular strategy to tune the properties of CsPbX3 nanocrystals after synthesis. However, while Cl → Br and Br → I exchanges proceed through the formation of stable mixed-halide nanocrystals, the Cl ⇌ I exchange is more elusive. Indeed, the large size difference between chloride and iodide ions causes a miscibility gap in...

We report the synthesis of nanocrystal heterostructures composed of CsPbCl3 and PbS domains sharing an epitaxial interface. We were able to promote the growth of a PbS domain (in competition with the more commonly observed Pb4S(3)Cl(2) one) on top of the CsPbCl3 domain by employing Mn2+ ions, the latter most likely acting as scavengers of Cl-...

Metal halide perovskites (MHP) are highly promising semiconductors. In this study, we focus on FAPbBr3 nanocrystals, which are of great interest for green light-emitting diodes. Structural parameters significantly impact the properties of MHPs and are linked to phase instability, which hampers long-term applications. Clearly, there is a need...

AbstractStability issues could prevent lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) from commercialization despite it having a comparable power conversion efficiency (PCE) to silicon solar cells. Overcoming drawbacks affecting their long‐term stability is gaining incremental importance. Excess lead iodide (PbI2) causes perovskite degradation,...
