Abstract
Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as new-generation light-emitting materials with narrow emissions and high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs). Various types of perovskite NCs, e.g., platelets, wires, and cubes, have been discovered to exhibit tunable emissions across the whole visible spectrum. Despite remarkable advances in the field of perovskite NCs, many nanostructures in inorganic NCs have not yet been realized in metal halide perovskites, and producing highly efficient blue-emitting perovskite NCs remains challenging and of great interest. Here, we report the discovery of highly efficient blue-emitting cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr<sub>3</sub>) perovskite hollow NCs. By facile solution processing of CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> precursor solution containing ethylenediammonium bromide and sodium bromide, in situ formation of hollow CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> NCs with controlled particle and pore sizes is realized. Synthetic control of hollow nanostructures with quantum confinement effect results in color tuning of CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> NCs from green to blue, with high PLQEs of up to 81%.
