The capacity to capture and convert solar energy into efficient, environmentally friendly, and renewable power sources has wide-ranging implications globally, spanning scientific and technological domains. Halide perovskites (HPs) exhibit remarkable performance in optoelectronics and photovoltaic devices, making them promising materials for various applications. Nonetheless, their widespread adoption faces obstacles due to their intrinsic instability and toxicity, resulting in detrimental phase changes and decomposition when exposed to environmental factors. A practical approach to overcome these challenges entails developing a protective shell surrounding the core perovskite. This shell acts as a physical barrier, providing stability to the perovskite and augmenting the optical characteristics of the core material. Herein, we developed a new synthetic strategy for stabilizing HPs and boosting their optoelectronic properties by sheeting the NCs with MoS2. We investigate the synthesis mechanism by analyzing each step using a gamut of analytical methods. Namely, we study the mechanism of MoS2 shell formation around the CsPbBr3 NCs by examining the impact of the reaction temperature and the concentration of the precursors. Moreover, the analysis of the optical properties of the core-shell nanostructures indicates a charge transfer from the conduction band (CB) of the CsPbBr3 NCs to the CB of MoS2. This study's insights can guide the design and optimization of stable photonic and optoelectronic HPs-based devices. Moreover, it can address the urgent need to develop sustainable and efficient energy technologies and pave the way toward a more sustainable future.
