Harnessing Pb-S Interactions for Long-Term Water Stability in Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals.

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) have garnered attention as promising light-harvesting materials for optoelectronics and photovoltaic devices, attributed to their impressive optoelectronic properties. However, their susceptibility to moisture-induced degradation has hindered their practical applications. Despite various encapsulation strategies, challenges persist in maintaining their stability and optoelectronic performance simultaneously.

Insights into interfacial mechanisms: CsPbBr nanocrystals as sustainable photocatalysts for primary amine oxidation.

CsPbBr nanocrystals (NCs) employed as a photocatalyst resulted in efficient benzylamine oxidation under oxygen atmosphere. Improved reaction yields stem from favorable -NH functional group interactions on the NC surface, while additional interactions with -OMe or -SMe functional groups post-product formation result in lower yields. These insights into interfacial interactions and mechanistic aspects advance sustainable chemical transformations through cost-effective and recyclable CsPbBr NC-catalyzed primary amine oxidation.

Enhancing Photocatalytic Attributes of Perovskite Nanocrystals in Aqueous Media via Ligand Engineering.

The remarkable catalytic potential of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) remains underutilized due to their limited stability in polar media, resulting from the vulnerability of their structure to disruption by polar solvents. In this study, we address this challenge by employing the bolaamphiphilic NKE-12 ligand, which features multiple denticities to effectively shield the surface of CsPbBr NCs from polar solvent interactions without compromising their light-harvesting properties. Our research, utilizing electrochemical impedance and photocurrent response measurements, highlights efficient charge separation and charge transfer enabled by NKE-12 ligands, which feature multiple ionic groups and peptide bonds, compared to conventional oleylamine/oleic acid ligands on CsPbBr NCs.
