Halide perovskites have rapidly emerged as a leading class of semiconductors for low-cost, high-efficiency optoelectronic technologies. However, their solution-based synthesis inherently produces a rich landscape of micro- and nanoscale inhomogeneities whose influence on device performance and long-term reliability remains insufficiently understood.

In this talk, I will present our recent efforts to unravel how structural motifs, chemical composition, and local photophysical behaviour are interconnected at the nanoscale, leveraging state-of-the-art multimodal imaging methods. We will show how synchrotron nanoprobe and optical spectroscopic methods, when correlated at the nanoscale, can explain the compromise between high-performing, defect-tolerant perovskite devices and irreversible degradation.[1,2] We will comment on the implications of these findings for the optical properties of halide perovskites, and how we can use them for the design of LEDs and photodetectors with new functionalities,[3,4] highlighting emerging opportunities for tailoring emission pathways, controlling carrier dynamics, and engineering stability through rational nanoscale design principles.
