Recent developments in the synthesis of perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) have made them promising candidates for narrow-emissive nanomaterials. The major obstacle to their commercialization is the poor stability. Dynamic ligand binding, combined with the ionic nature of the lattice, causes most perovskite NPLs to degrade within a week. Amines play an indispensable role in NPL synthesis: they provide steric effects that enable anisotropic growth and serve as surface passivating agents, but they are also the main culprit behind the instability. Compared with other ligands, amine ligands dissociate more readily from the NPL surface, promoting aggregation, which compromises quantum confinement and emission purity. In this talk, we will present two complementary approaches to replacing and eliminating ammonium ligands during NPL synthesis. One approach uses a post-synthetic treatment to partially substitute the ammonium ligands with metal cations. The other approach renovates the ligand pair chemistry by employing organosulfonates as the sole ligands, providing both anisotropic growth and effective surface passivation. These amine-reduced or amine-free NPLs exhibit significantly improved stability compared with conventional NPLs, revealing a key strategy for advancing NPLs toward commercialization.
