An understanding on the influence of the type of demulsifier used on the degree of crystallization in emulsion process-grown organic-inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals is presently lacking. We conducted a detailed investigation on the structural and optical properties of methylammonium lead bromide (CHNHPbBr) nano-structures synthesized using the emulsion-ligand-assisted re-precipitation method with three different demulsifiers (acetone, -butanol, and butanol). Structural analysis conducted using X-ray diffraction, HRTEM, and Raman studies showed that -butanol served as the best demulsifier among the three. A homogenous distribution of spherically shaped nanoparticles with a particle size of ∼16 nm was achieved using the optimized synthesis process. CHNHPbBr nano-crystals inherent to the cubic 3̄ (221) space group with preferential orientation along the (200) and (201) planes were synthesized. The CHNHPbBr nano-crystals dispersed in toluene exhibited a green photoluminescence at ∼532 nm, which yielded a color purity of 94.6% and carrier lifetime of 1.69 ns.

For photodetection applications using 3D hybrid perovskites (HPs), dense and thick films or compacted powders in wafer form are needed and generally require large amounts of HPs. HPs are also often combined with a graphene/carbon layer to improve their conductivity. Among HP synthesis methods, mechanosynthesis, a green synthesis method, provides a large amount of powders, which are furthermore easily densified in compact wafers due to their mechanical activation.

2D lead-halide perovskites have garnered considerable attention owing to their superior environmental stability and tunable optoelectronic properties, which can be precisely controlled through varying quantum well (QW) width (denoted by the integer n). However, the commonly observed phenomenon of mixed QW width distributions poses a major obstacle to achieving optimal device performance, necessitating an in-depth understanding of how QW width distributions depend on chemical composition and thermodynamic stability. In this work, a robust machine learning (ML)-based energy model is developed, rigorously benchmarked against first-principles calculations, enabling extensive molecular-level simulations of 2D perovskites with butylammonium (BA) and phenethylammonium (PEA) spacer cations.

Methylammonium lead bromide perovskite (MAPbBr) quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronic applications owing to their exceptional photoluminescent properties. However, their practical applications face significant challenges due to inherent instability issues. Herein, a solvent-induced in situ crystallization method is presented to encapsulate MAPbBr QDs within a crosslinked (cl-) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) network.

In conventional semiconductors, electrical and thermal conductivity are typically coupled, posing a challenge in optimizing both simultaneously. Overcoming this inherent trade-off enables strategies for advancing electronic applications. Herein, a strategy is demonstrated to decouple electrical and thermal conductivity trade-off by creating heterostructures of highly conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) coated with low conductivity hybrid perovskites.

Methylammonium lead chloride perovskite (MAPbCl), with its wide bandgap of ∼3 eV, exhibits unique advantages for near-UV to UV optoelectronic devices. However, the fast crystallization kinetics and significant solubility differences of MAPbCl precursors in solvents cause discontinuous films with high surface defect densities, severely limiting device performance. This study introduces a solution mediated dissolution recrystallization strategy to address the aforementioned issues, namely, employing a CsAc/methanol solution to dynamically reconstruct preformed MAPbCl films.
