Hydrogen bromide (HBr) could substantially improve the quality of cesium lead bromide perovskite (CsPbBr) nanocrystals (NCs) and greatly enhance their optoelectronic performance. However, clarifying the role of HBr in the growth of CsPbBr NCs has been a substantial challenge thus far. Herein, we design an in situ cryogenic photoluminescence system using liquid nitrogen to unravel the role played by HBr in the growth of CsPbBr NCs. Compared with no HBr (∼40 s), HBr improves the nucleation rate of CsPbBr NCs about two times (∼20 s), and its emission peak also exhibits a redshift of ∼30 nm. Thus, we conclude that HBr accelerates the nucleation rate of CsPbBr NCs and extends their growth stage, affording the generation of large grains. Perovskite light-emitting diodes based on CsPbBr NCs with added HBr also exhibit an outstanding performance. These outcomes provide new insights into the role of HBr in CsPbBr NCs and help prepare high-quality CsPbBr NCs for use in the fabrication of efficient CsPbBr NC-based optoelectronic devices.

So far, the striking sign reversal in the near-ambient slope of the gap temperature dependence of colloidal CsPbCl perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) compared to its Br counterpart remains unresolved. Pure bromide NCs exhibit a linear gap increase with increasing temperature, to which thermal expansion and electron-phonon interaction equally contribute. In contrast, the temperature slope for the chlorine compound gap is clearly negative.

Perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with their excellent optical and semiconductor properties have emerged as primary candidates for optoelectronic applications. While extensive research has been conducted on the 3D perovskite phase, the zero-dimensional (0D) form of this promising material in the NC format remains elusive. In this paper, a new synthesis strategy is proposed.

Highly ordered nanocrystal (NC) assemblies, namely, superlattices (SLs), have been investigated as materials for optical and optoelectronic devices due to their unique properties based on interactions among neighboring NCs. In particular, lead halide perovskite NC SLs have attracted significant attention owing to their extraordinary optical characteristics of individual NCs and collective emission processes like superfluorescence (SF). So far, the primary method for preparing perovskite NC SLs has been the drying-mediated self-assembly method, in which the colloidal NCs spontaneously assemble into SLs during solvent evaporation.

Energy transfer processes in nanohybrids are at the focal point of conceptualizing, designing, and realizing novel energy-harvesting systems featuring nanocrystals that absorb photons and transfer their energy unidirectionally to surface-immobilized functional dyes. Importantly, the functionality of these dyes defines the ultimate application. Herein, CsPbBr perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are interfaced with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) dyes featuring carboxylic acid.
