Low-dimensional luminescent lead halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention for their fascinating optoelectronic properties, while the toxicity of lead is still considered a drawback. Herein, we report a novel lead-free zero-dimensional (0D) indium-based perovskite (Cs InBr ⋅H O) single crystal that is red-luminescent with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 33 %. Experimental and computational studies reveal that the strong PL emission might originate from self-trapping excitons (STEs) that result from an excited-state structural deformation. More importantly, the in situ transformation between hydrated Cs InBr ⋅H O and the dehydrated form is accompanied with a switchable dual emission, which enables it to act as a PL water-sensor in humidity detection or the detection of traces of water in organic solvents.

Intrinsic stereochemical activity of the 5s electron configuration in Sb leads to structural distortion within [SbCl] units, which, while stabilizing the material, paradoxically diminishes luminescence intensity due to induced asymmetry. To address this issue, a strategy, which encompasses increasing the structural dimensions and introducing In doping, was developed to mitigate the geometrical distortion in the [SbCl] units within the metal-organic perovskite (DABCO)SbCl·HO and (DABCO)SbCdCl·2HO (DABCO = triethylenediamine). This dimensional augmentation confines lattice distortion effectively, and the In doping modifies the 5s electron configuration of Sb, thereby reducing the distortion at its origin.

Lead-free metal halide perovskites have attracted attention because of their excellent optical properties and nontoxicity. Here, we report the synthesis of Sb-doped indium halide perovskite CsInCl·HO:Sb by an improved solution coprecipitation method. The treatment of the Sb-doped indium halide perovskite with selected monovalent cation halides led to CsMInCl (Ag, K, Na) in different crystal structures or phases.

Low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) with broadband emission attract immense scientific interest due to their potential application for the next generation of solid-state lighting. However, due to low exciton utilization, organic cations generally adjust structure rather than contribute the band edge to affect optical properties. Based on this, OIHPs are usually allowed to obtain a low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY).
