Colloidal halide perovskite nanocrystals are promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronics because of their facile synthesis and their outstanding and size-tunable properties. However, these materials suffer from rapid degradation, similarly to their bulk perovskite counterparts. Here, we survey the most recent strategies to boost perovskite nanocrystals stability, with a special focus on the intrinsic chemical- and compositional-factors at synthetic and post-synthetic stage. Finally, we review the most promising approaches to address the environmental extrinsic stability of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). Our final goal is to outline the most promising research directions to enhance PNCs’ lifetime, bringing them a step closer to their commercialization.

Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals show promising potential in optical and photonic applications, whereas it is challenging to improve the stability of nanocrystals due to their highly ionic nature and inconsistency in the crystal lattice.

The past few years have witnessed rapid advances in the synthesis of high-quality perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). However, despite the impressive developments, the stability of PNCs remains a substantial challenge. The ability to reliably improve stability of PNCs while retaining their individual nanometer size represents a critical step that underpins future advances in optoelectronic applications. Here, we report an unconventional strategy for crafting dual-shelled PNCs (i.e., polymer-ligated perovskite/SiO2 core/shell NCs) with exquisite control over dimensions, surface chemistry, and stabilities. In stark contrast to conventional methods, our strategy relies on capitalizing on judiciously designed star-like copolymers as nanoreactors to render the growth of core/shell NCs with controlled yet tunable perovskite core diameter, SiO2 shell thickness, and surface chemistry. Consequently, the resulting polymer-tethered perovskite/SiO2 core/shell NCs display concurrently a stellar set of substantially improved stabilities (i.e., colloidal stability, chemical composition stability, photostability, water stability), while having appealing solution processability, which are unattainable by conventional methods.

Abstract Tetramethyl orthosilicate and triethoxyphenylsilane, which contains hydrophobic phenyl groups, were used as a silica (SiO2) source in a modified ligand-assisted reprecipitation synthesis approach for the fabrication of water-stable perovskite nanocrystals. Hydrolysis-condensation reaction of tetramethyl orthosilicate and triethoxyphenylsilane results in a formation of 3D siloxane network. Employing triethoxyphenylsilane in the synthesis enhances the hydrophobic properties of the SiO2 shell, which increases the stability of perovskites in aqueous medium. The stability of the CsPbBr3@SiO2 nanocrystals was estimated after 24 h of water exposure by the photoluminescence measurements at different time points. The synthesized CsPbBr3@SiO2 nanocrystals were visualized during in vitro experiments with murine melanoma B16-F10 cells. Hence, the potential of CsPbBr@SiO2 nanocrystals for bioimaging purposes was observed.

Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as a new generation light emitting materials with narrow emissions and high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs). Various types of perovskite NCs, e.g. platelets, wires, and cubes, have been discovered to exhibit tunable emissions across the whole visible spectral region. Despite remarkable advances in the field of metal halide perovskite NCs over the last few years, many nanostructures in inorganic NCs have yet been realized in metal halide perovskites and producing highly efficient blue emitting perovskite NCs remains challenging and of great interest. Here we report for the first time the discovery of highly efficient blue emitting cesium lead bromide perovskite (CsPbBr3) NCs with hollow structures. By facile solution processing of cesium lead bromide perovskite precursor solution containing additional ethylenediammonium bromide and sodium bromide, in-situ formation of hollow CsPbBr3 NCs with controlled particle and pore sizes is realized. Synthetic control of hollow nanostructures with quantum confinement effects results in color tuning of CsPbBr3 NCs from green to blue with high PLQEs of up to 81 %.<br><div><br></div>
