A new two-step synthetic protocol to yield monodisperse spherical zero-dimensional (0D) Cs PbX nanocrystals (NCs) and three-dimensional (3D) CsPbX NCs is described. The first step of the reaction involves the colloidal synthesis of spherical PbX seed NCs, which are subsequently converted to Cs PbX and CsPbX NCs through hot injection of a Cs precursor at the desired reaction temperatures. By employing less reactive Pb and halide precursors, the reaction time was extended from several seconds to about five minutes, thereby allowing greater control during the crystallization and growth stages. The adjustment of halide ratios allows color tuning over a wide spectral range (411-669 nm) for CsPbX NCs, with high photoluminescence quantum yields (6-65 %) and narrow emission line widths (ca. 13-30 nm). We envisage our spherical NCs to become a starting point for shell growth (e.g., ZnS, CdS, PbS) by overcoming the difficulty of shell growth around thermodynamically unfavorable (i.e., high surface free energy) cuboid-shaped NCs.

Recently, halide perovskites have been recognized for their thermochromic characteristics, showing significant potential in information encryption applications. However, the limited luminescence color gamut hinders the encryption of complex multicolor information. Herein, for the first time, multicolor thermochromic perovskites with luminescence covering the entire visible spectrum have been designed.

CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) undergo rapid anion exchange, allowing easy bandgap tuning across the entire visible range. However, despite being highly luminescent, the same facile anion exchange process poses significant challenges for their use in tandem optoelectronic devices and white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). This anion exchange occurs primarily due to the dynamic nature of loosely bound oleylamine ligands on the surface of the PNCs.

All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, I, or mixed) nanocrystals (NCs) are emerging as promising candidates in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their excellent luminescent properties. However, CsPbX NCs are extremely susceptible to the elevated temperature associated with prolonged LED operation due to their low formation energy and soft ionic crystal structure. Here, CsPbBr NCs hybridized with ZrO were in situ synthesized by a rapid solvent-free method under an ambient environment for the first time, which was also suitable for large-scale production.

Although some reviews about core/shell NPs have been published, there is still an intense requirement for an extensive review about the updated literature and new reported core/shell nanomaterials. Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) and noble metal NPs have a very small size, which results in the large surface-to-volume ratio and under-coordinated chemical bonds.

Over more than a decade, lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have been popular as a next-generation semiconductor for optoelectronics. Later, all-inorganic CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, and I) nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized supersaturated recrystallization (SR) at room temperature (RT). However, compared to the hot injection (HI) method, the formation mechanism of NCs SR-RT has not been well studied.
