All-inorganic cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have great potential application due to their unique optoelectronic properties. However, poor luminescence stability caused by some inevitable factors such as light, moisture and heat always restricts their practical application. In this work, the stability of CsPbX3 (X = Cl0.5Br0.5, Br, and Br0.5I0.5) PQDs is improved by encapsulating them in stable hollow mesoporous NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanoparticles (HMNPs). Compared to pristine PQDs, HMNP-PQD composites exhibit stable photoluminescence properties that can be maintained for more than 60 days under ambient atmospheric conditions. Thanks to the protection of HMNPs, the composites show much higher long-term stability in highly humid air and enhanced stability against UV light treatment compared to naked CsPbBr3 PQDs. Based on the proposed confinement effects of PQDs coordinated with the hollow mesoporous structure of NaYF4:Yb/Tm, the related structural model of NaYF4:Yb/Tm@PQD composites is discussed. Moreover, dual-mode luminescence can be observed in the NaYF4:Yb/Tm@PQD nanocomposites under 365 nm UV light and 980 nm laser excitation, indicating that the as-designed composites have great potential for dual-mode anti-counterfeiting application. This work provides a new idea for the stabilization and application of CsPbX3 PQDs.

Addressing the challenges of the efficiency and stability of red perovskite nanocrystals is imperative for the successful deployment of these materials in displays and lighting applications. the structural dynamic changes of red perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are explored using a flow chemistry system to solve the above hurdles. First, the ultrabright red-emitting PQDs of CsPb(Br,I) are achieved by adjusting ligand distribution (oleic acid and oleyamine) in combination with different flow rates and equivalence ratios.

Ternary copper halides with an eco-friendly property have emerged as attractive candidates to replace toxic lead-containing perovskites for light-emitting diodes (LEDs), yet achieving long-wavelength electroluminescence remains unexplored. Herein, we report the first realization of orange-emitting LEDs (595 nm) based on nontoxic organic-inorganic PEACuI (PEA = β-phenylethylamine) films enabled by a nonionic surfactant poly(propylene glycol) bis(2-aminopropyl ether) (APPG) chemisorption. Experimental and theoretical analyses rationalize that the APPG additive has strong chemisorption with the Cu-I framework within the grain boundaries of PEACuI films, which not only improves the film's morphology but also passivates the iodine vacancy defects.

Tin halide perovskites are promising candidates for lead-free perovskite solar cells due to their ideal bandgap and high charge-carrier mobility. However, poor crystal quality and rapid degradation in ambient conditions severely limit their stability and practical applications. This study demonstrates that incorporating UiO-66, a zirconium-based MOF, significantly enhances the performance and stability of tin halide perovskite solar cells (TPSCs).

Lead-free tin halide perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) have recently made significant progress in power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, the presence of mismatched energy levels and weak interlayer interactions between the electron transport materials (ETMs) and tin perovskites has limited the achievable PCE. Here, a new fluorinated fullerene derivative, C-FTPA (F12), was designed and synthesized to construct a binary ETM with C-ETPA (F6) reported in our group, resulting in a reduction in defects and improved molecular structure ordering.

Quantum dot-polymer composites have the advantages of high luminescent quantum yield (PLQY), narrow emission half-peak full width (FWHM), and tunable emission spectra, and have broad application prospects in display and lighting fields. Research on quantum dots embedded in polymer films and plates has made great progress in both synthesis technology and optical properties. However, due to the shortcomings of quantum dots, such as cadmium selenide (CdSe), indium phosphide (InP), lead halide perovskite (LHP), poor water, oxygen, and light stability, and incapacity for large-scale synthesis, their practical application is still restricted.
