Chemically synthesized inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) are considered to be promising building blocks for a broad spectrum of applications including electronic, thermoelectric, and photovoltaic devices. In this lecture we will discuss the synthesis methodology, crystallography and basic photophysics of colloidal lead halide perovskite NCs. First, we have synthesized monodisperse colloidal nanocubes (4-15 nm edge lengths) of cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3, X=Cl, Br, and I or mixed halide systems Cl/Br and Br/I) using inexpensive commercial precursors [1]. The bandgap energies and emission spectra of these NCs are readily tunable over the entire visible spectral region of 410-700 nm. The photoluminescence of CsPbX3 NCs is characterized by narrow emission line-widths of 12-42 nm, wide color gamut covering up to 140% of the NTSC color standard, high quantum yields of up to 90% and also low thresholds for stimulated emission [2]. Post-synthestic chemical transformations of colloidal NCs, such as ion-exchange reactions, provide an avenue to compositional fine tuning or to otherwise inaccessible materials and morphologies [3]. Similar synthesis methodologies are well suited also for hybrid perovskite NCS based on methylammonium (MA) and formamidinium cations (FA): MAPbX3 [4], FAPbBr3 [5], Cs1-xFAxPbI3 and FAPbI3 [6], with the latter reaching near-infrared wavelengths of 800nm. These Cs- and FA-based perovskite NCs are highly promising for luminescence downconversion (bright and narrow emission at 530 and 640 nm; backlighting for displays), for light-emitting diodes and as precursors/inks for perovskite solar cells.
