Two-dimensional Cs3Sb2Br9 inducing transformation of three-dimensional CsPbBr3 to nanoplates

Abstract

This communication describes an effective morphological control strategy involving introducing two-dimensional (2D) Cs₃Sb₂Br₉ to induce a transformation of three-dimensional (3D) CsPbBr₃ to 2D nanoplates (NPLs). By tuning the Sb/Pb ratio, 2D CsPbBr₃ NPLs exhibiting a deep-blue emission centered at a wavelength of 464 nm with an FWHM of 24 nm have been produced. The absence of organic ligands in these high-quality 2D NPLs mitigate the instability issue induced by organic ligand migration and penetration, and these NPLs exhibit 80% of the initial PL intensity after 55 days.
