Lead-based perovskites are highly susceptible to environmental influences, and their application in analytical chemistry, especially in aqueous solution, has been reported rarely. All-inorganic lead-free metal halide perovskites have been considered as a substitute for lead-based perovskites. Herein, a CsRbTbCl perovskite microcrystal (PMCs), which emits strong yellow-green fluorescence with a maximum emission wavelength at 547 nm, was for the first time synthesized and characterized. The CsRbTbCl PMCs could be well dispersed in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMF), and its fluorescence could be significantly enhanced by the addition of norfloxacin (NOR) in the aqueous solution. We found that the CsRbTbCl PMCs can be used as fluorescent probes (excitation, 365 nm; emission, 547 nm) to selectively detect NOR in a concentration range from 10.0 to 200.0 μM with the limit of detection (LOD) being 0.04 μM. The CsRbTbCl PMCs could also be adsorbed on filter paper to fabricate as a fluorescent test paper for visual detection of NOR under 365-nm ultraviolet (UV) lamp irradiation. The proposed method has the potential to establish a new analytical method to visualize the detection of NOR in aqueous environments and also promotes the application of all-inorganic lead-free perovskites for analytical detection in aqueous environments.

In recent years, inorganic perovskite materials based on metallic halides have attracted significant attention due to their non-toxicity and ease of synthesis, making them suitable for various applications. This article describes the slow evaporation approach at room temperature for the fabrication of a non-toxic inorganic perovskite based on metallic halide CsZnCl. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic phase of the space group, as confirmed by room temperature X-ray diffraction.

Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) shows great potential for developing flexible and wearable spintronic devices by serving as spin sources via the bulk Rashba effect (BRE). However, the practical application of BRE in 2D HOIP faces huge challenges, particularly due to the toxicity of lead, which is crucial for achieving large spin-orbit coupling, and the restrictions in 2D HOIP candidates to meet specific symmetry-breaking requirements. To overcome these obstacles, we designed a strategy to exploit the interfacial Rashba effect (IRE) of lead-free 2D HOIP (CHCHCHNH)CuCl (PEA-CuCl), manifesting as an efficient spin generator at room temperature.

Designing all-inorganic double perovskites through element mixing is a promising strategy to enhance their optoelectronic performance and structural stability. The complex interplay between multilevel structures and optoelectronic properties in element-mixed double perovskites necessitates further in-depth theoretical exploration. In this study, we employ screening strategies and multiscale simulations combining first-principles methods and device-scale continuum models to identify two novel element-mixed compounds, RbAgInClI and CsAgInClI, as promising candidates for photovoltaic applications.
