Abstract

This disclosure relates to an environmental-friendly and cost-efficient approach to synthesize CsPbBr₃ powders in a large scale at room temperature with water. Using ultrasonication and centrifugation, CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals can be obtained with green (˜522 nm) and blue (˜493 nm) emissions from the powders. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the blue-emitting nanocrystals is 80%, which is much larger than 61.4% of the CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals made by an anti-solvent method. The green-emitting nanocrystals exhibit better stability than those made by the anti-solvent method over a period of 9 days. The method opens a new avenue to potentially produce inorganic and/or inorganic-organic hybrid halide perovskite nanocrystals without harmful organic solvents used in precursor solutions.
