A novel synthesis of hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (CH3NH3PbX3, X = Br or I) that does not involve the use of dimethylformamide or other polar solvents is presented. The reaction between methylamine and PbX2 salts is conducted in a high-boiling nonpolar solvent (1-octadecene) in the presence of oleylamine and oleic acid as coordinating ligands. The resulting nanocrystals are characterized by high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of 15-50%, outstanding phase purity and tunable shapes (nanocubes, nanowires, and nanoplatelets). Nanoplatelets spontaneously assemble into micrometer-length wires by face-to-face stacking. In addition, we demonstrate amplified spontaneous emission from thin films of green-emitting CH3NH3PbBr3 nanowires with low pumping thresholds of 3 μJ cm(-2).

The excellent optical and electronic properties of halide perovskite materials have attracted researchers to investigate this particular field. However, the instability in ambient conditions and toxicity of materials like lead have given some setbacks to commercial use. To overcome these issues, perovskite-inspired materials with less toxic and excellent air-stable materials are being studied.

Metal halides are widely applied in solid-state lighting (SSL), optoelectronic devices, information encryption, and near-infrared (NIR) detection due to their superior photoelectric properties and tunable emission. However, single-component phosphors that can be efficiently excited by light-emitting diode (LED) chips and cover both the visible (VIS) and NIR emission regions are still very rare. To address this issue, (TPA)ZnBr:Sn/Mn (TPA = [(CHCHCH)N]) phosphors were synthesized by using the solvent evaporation method.

Metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar cells are promising aerospace power sources given their potential as inexpensive, lightweight, and resilient solar electricity generators. Herein, the intrinsic radiation tolerance of unencapsulated methylammonium lead iodide/chloride (CHNHPbICl) films was isolated. Spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and confocal microscopy revealed the fundamental defect physics through optical changes as films were irradiated with 4.

This study investigates the photophysical behaviour of Mn/Fe and Mn/Sn co-doped CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) to explore carrier dynamics and dopant interactions. Using gated photoluminescence (PL) and temperature-dependent measurements, we elucidate the impact of dopant chemistry on exciton behaviour, focusing on vibrationally assisted delayed fluorescence (VADF) and energy transfer mechanisms. The efficiency of VADF is influenced by factors such as the bandgap, temperature, quantum confinement, and host composition.
