Abstract
A highly luminescent (C13H28N2)2Cu4I8 single crystal containing isolated γ-[Cu4I8]4- anionic cluster was synthesized without the use of unsaturated cations. To the best of our knowledge, compounds bearing such like anions are not dual-emitting under UV excitation. However, dual emission does occur in (C13H28N2)2Cu4I8. Moreover, the emission bands were found to be temperature-sensitive, allowing tuning of the emission colors from blue (0.19, 0.20) to green (0.33, 0.47) in the Commission International de L' Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates. Remarkably, the color could be restored on returning to the initial temperature, confirming an efficient and reversible luminescent thermochromic effect in (C13H28N2)2Cu4I8. The origin of this excellent optical performance is discussed, and the difference in the mechanism with the dual-emissive Cu(I) halide complexes is also elucidated. Overall, our work provides a promising way to achieve efficient luminescent thermochromism. The developed (C13H28N2)2Cu4I8 represents one of the viable alternatives for eco-friendly luminescent thermochromic materials.

Abstract
All-inorganic cesium copper halide nanocrystals have attracted extensive attention due to their cost-effectiveness, low toxicity, and rich luminescence properties. However, controlling the synthesis of these nanocrystals to achieve a precise composition and high luminous efficiency remains a challenge that limits their future application. Herein, we report the effect of oleylammonium iodide on the synthesis of copper halide nanocrystals to control the composition and phase and modulate their photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (QYs). For CsCu2I3, the PL peak is centered at 560 nm with a PLQY of 47.3%, while the PL peak of Cs3Cu2I5 is located at 440 nm with an unprecedently high PLQY of 95.3%. Furthermore, the intermediate-state CsCu2I3/Cs3Cu2I5 heterostructure shows white light emission with a PLQY of 66.4%, chromaticity coordinates of (0.3176, 0.3306), a high color rendering index (CRI) of 90, and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 6234 K, indicating that it is promising for single-component white-light-emitting applications. The nanocrystals reported in this study have excellent luminescence properties, low toxicity, and superior stability, so they are more suitable for future light-emitting applications.

Abstract
In modern society, the investigation of highly efficient photoluminescent bulk materials with excitation-induced tunable multicolor luminescence and multiexciton generation (MEG) is of great significance to information security and the application of optoelectronic devices. In this study, two bulk Cu-based halide crystals of (C4H10NO)4Cu2Br5·Br and (C4H10NO)4Cu2I5·I·H2O, respectively, with one-dimensional structures were grown by a solvent evaporation method. Unexpectedly, (C4H10NO)4Cu2I5·I·H2O displayed excitation-induced tunable dual-color luminescence; one band is a brilliant green-yellow emission centered at 547 nm with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 169.67%, and the other is a red emission at 695 nm with a PLQY of 75.76%. Just as importantly, (C4H10NO)4Cu2Br5·Br exhibits a strong broadband green-yellow emission at 561 nm under broad band excitation ranging from 252 to 350 nm, a long PL decay lifetime of 106.9 μs, and an ultrahigh PLQY of 198.22%. These materials represent the first two examples of 1D bulk crystals and Cu(I)-based halides that have a PLQY exceeding 100%. Combining the unusual luminescence characteristics with theoretical calculations reveals that MEG contributes to the green-yellow emission with ultrahigh PLQY > 100%, and that the red emission can be ascribed to [Cu2I5]3- cluster-centered emission. Additionally, an information encryption method was designed based on the Morse Code. The high luminescence characteristics of LED devices fabricated using the (C4H10NO)4Cu2Br5·Br and (C4H10NO)4Cu2I5·I·H2O crystals appear to lead to promising applications in solid-state lighting. This work extends the catalog of high-performance luminescent materials and also promotes application prospects of low-dimensional copper-based halides in optoelectronics.

Abstract
Low-dimensional metal halides with broadband emissions are expected to serve as downconversion luminescent materials for solid-state lighting (SSL). However, efficiently generating full-spectrum white-light emission with a high color-rendering index (CRI) in single-phase emitters remains a challenge. Here, we report a novel zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid mixed-metal halide (TPA)2CuAgI4 (TPA = tetrapropylammonium), in which individual [CuAgI4]2- dimers are completely isolated and surrounded by the organic cations TPA+. Cu+ and Ag+ share the same crystallographic site in [CuAgI4]2- dimers with the same statistical probability. Upon photoexcitation, single crystals exhibit a full-spectrum white-light emission with a full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of up to 314 nm and a high quantum efficiency of 46.8%. Detailed photophysical studies and theoretical calculations reveal that the ultra-broadband emission of (TPA)2CuAgI4 originates from the radiative recombination of red-, green-, and blue-emitting self-trapped excitons in [CuAgI4]2- dimers. In addition, (TPA)2CuAgI4 nanocrystals were successfully synthesized and exhibited optical properties similar to those of single-crystal counterparts. Finally, a prototype ultraviolet (UV)-pumped white-light-emitting diode (WLED) and a composite thin film employing this new white-light emitter produces a well-distributed full-spectrum white light with a high CRI of 91.4 and a warm correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4135 K, indicating the potential application of this white-light emitter in SSL. These results provide a new perspective for designing superior single-phase white-light emitters.

Abstract
Recently, all-inorganic copper(I) metal halides have emerged as promising optical materials due to their high light emission efficiencies. This work details the crystal structure of the two hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides [(CH3)3SO]M2I3 (M = Cu and Ag) and their alloyed derivatives [(CH3)3SO]Cu2-xAgxI3 (x = 0.2; 1.25), which were obtained by incorporating trimethylsulfoxonium organic cation (CH3)3SO+ in place of Cs+ in the yellow-emitting all-inorganic CsCu2I3. These compounds are isostructural and centrosymmetric with the space group Pnma, featuring one-dimensional edge-sharing [M2I3]- anionic double chains separated by rows of (CH3)3SO+ cations. Based on density functional theory calculations, the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) of [(CH3)3SO]M2I3 (M = Cu and Ag) are dominated by the Cu or Ag d and I p orbitals, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) are Cu or Ag s and I p orbitals. [(CH3)3SO]Cu2I3 single crystals exhibit a semiconductor resistivity of 9.94 × 109 Ω·cm. Furthermore, a prototype [(CH3)3SO]Cu2I3 single-crystal-based X-ray detector with a detection sensitivity of 200.54 uCGy-1 cm-2 (at electrical field E = 41.67 V/mm) was fabricated, indicating the potential use of [(CH3)3SO]Cu2I3 for radiation detection applications.

Abstract
Recently, low-dimensional copper(I)-based perovskite or derivatives have gained extensive attention in scintillator applications because of their environmental friendliness and good stabilities. However, the unsatisfactory scintillation performance and complex fabrication processes hindered their practical applications. Herein, efficient yellow emissive CsCu2I3 nanocrystals (NCs) were successfully prepared via a simple Mn2+-assisted hot-injection method. The added Mn2+ effectively induced the phase transformation from Cs3Cu2I5 to CsCu2I3, leading to the preparation of single-phase CsCu2I3 NCs with few defects and a high fluorescence performance. The as-prepared "optimal CsCu2I3 NCs" exhibited superior photoluminescence (PL) performance with a record-high PL quantum yield (PLQY) of 61.9%. The excellent fluorescence originated from the radiative recombination of strongly localized one-dimension (1D) self-trapped excitons (STEs), which was systematically investigated via the wavelength-dependent PL excitation, PL emission, and temperature-dependent PL spectra. These CsCu2I3 NCs also exhibited outstanding X-ray scintillation properties with a high light yield (32000 photons MeV-1) and an ultralow detection limit (80.2 nGyair s-1). Eventually, the CsCu2I3 NCs scintillator film achieved an ultrahigh (16.6 lp mm-1) spatial resolution in X-ray imaging. The CsCu2I3 NCs also exhibited good stabilities against X-ray irradiation, heat, and environmental storage, indicating their great application potential in flexible X-ray detection and imaging.

Abstract
Recently, the newly-emerging lead-free metal-halide materials with less toxicity and superior optoelectronic properties have received wide attention as the safer and potentially more robust alternatives to lead-based perovskite counterparts. Among them, ternary copper halides (TCHs) have become a vital group due to their unique features, including abundant structural diversity, ease of synthesis, unprecedented optoelectronic properties, high abundance, and low cost. Although the recent efforts in this field have made certain progresses, some scientific and technological issues still remain unresolved. Herein, a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of recent progress on the fundamental characteristics of TCH materials and their versatile applications is presented, which contains topics such as: i) crystal and electronic structure features and synthesis strategies; ii) mechanisms of self-trapped excitons, luminescence regulation, and environmental stability; and iii) their burgeoning optoelectronic devices of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), electroluminescent LEDs, anti-counterfeiting, X-ray scintillators, photodetectors, sensors, and memristors. Finally, the current challenges together with future perspectives on the development of TCH materials and applications are also critically described, which is considered to be critical for accelerating the commercialization of these rapidly evolving technologies.

Abstract
Single-component metal halides with white light emission are highly attractive for solid-state lighting applications, but it is still challenging to develop all-inorganic lead-free metal halides with high white-light emission efficiency. Herein, by rationally introducing silver (Ag) into zero-dimensional (0D) Cs3 Cu2 Br5 as new structural building unit, a one-dimensional (1D) bimetallic halide Cs6 Cu3 AgBr10 is designed that emits strong warm-white light with an impressive photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 94.5% and excellent stability. This structural transformation lowers the conduction band minimum while maintaining the localized nature of the valence band maximum, which is crucial in expanding the excitation spectrum and obtaining efficient self-trapped excitons (STEs) emission simultaneously. Detailed spectroscopy studies reveal that the white-light originates from triplet STEs emission, which can be remarkably improved by weakening the strong electron-phonon coupling and thus suppressing phonon-induced non-radiative processes. Moreover, the interesting temperature-dependent emission behavior, together with self-absorption-free property, make Cs6 Cu3 AgBr10 as sensitive luminescent thermometer and high-performance X-ray scintillator, respectively. These findings demonstrate a general approach to achieving effective single-component white-light emitters based on lead-free, all-inorganic metal halides, thereby opening up a new avenue to explore their versatile applications such as lighting, temperature detection and X-ray imaging.

Abstract
Low dimensional perovskite-inspired materials with self-tapped exciton (STE) emission have stimulated a surge of cutting-edge research in optoelectronics. Despite numerous efforts on developing versatile low-dimensional perovskite-inspired materials with efficient STE emissions, there is little emphasis on the intrinsic dynamics of STE-based broad emission in these materials. Here, we investigated the excited state dynamics in zero-dimensional (0D) Cs2ZrCl6 nanocrystals (NCs) with efficient blue STE emission. By using femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy, the ultrafast STE formation process within 400 fs is directly observed. Then, the formed STEs relax to an intermediate STE state with a lifetime of ∼180 ps before reaching the emissive STE state with a lifetime of ∼15 μs. Our work offers a comprehensive and precise dynamic picture of STE emission in low-dimensional metal halides and sheds light on extending their potential applications.

One-dimensional scintillator film with benign grain boundaries for high-resolution and fast x-ray imaging. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2023; 9:eadh1789. [PMID: 37506201 PMCID: PMC10381942 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adh1789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Fast and high-resolution x-ray imaging demands scintillator films with negligible afterglow, high scintillation yield, and minimized cross-talk. However, grain boundaries (GBs) are abundant in polycrystalline scintillator film, and, for current inorganic scintillators, detrimental dangling bonds at GBs inevitably extend radioluminescence lifetime and increase nonradiative recombination loss, deteriorating afterglow and scintillation yield. Here, we demonstrate that scintillators with one-dimensional (1D) crystal structure, Cs5Cu3Cl6I2 explored here, possess benign GBs without dangling bonds, yielding nearly identical afterglow and scintillation yield for single crystals and polycrystalline films. Because of its 1D crystal structure, Cs5Cu3Cl6I2 films with desired columnar morphology are easily obtained via close space sublimation, exhibit negligible afterglow (0.1% at 10 ms) and high scintillation yield (1.2 times of CsI:Tl). We have also demonstrated fast x-ray imaging with 27 line pairs mm-1 resolution and frame rate up to 33 fps, surpassing most existing scintillators. We believe that the 1D scintillators can greatly boost x-ray imaging performance.

Abstract
A highly stable and luminescent lead-free manganese(II) halide hybrid MnBr4(TMN)2 (C34H42Br4MnN4) was designed and synthesized by introducing a large cationic organic spacer. The MnBr4(TMN)2 displays high luminescence with quantum yields up to 77% and possesses turn-off fluorescence behavior (Ex/Em=365/546 nm) for water. These properties make the MnBr4(TMN)2 a promising candidate as an alternative indicator for the detection of water with potential applications for the fabrication of LEDs. Herein, a paper-based sensor based on MnBr4(TMN)2 is described for the determination of water content in organic solvents. The mechanism of water sensing can be tentatively explained by fluorescence quenching originating from the destruction of water due to the Mn-Br bonds of MnBr4(TMN)2. The MnBr4(TMN)2-based paper sensor exhibits an excellent discrimination ability of water content in the range 0-25.0% with a detection limit of 0.27%. Satisfactory recoveries (94.91±4.09% to 103.23±2.38%) are obtained in spiked ethanol solvent samples, which demonstrate that the MnBr4(TMN)2-based paper sensor is capable of detecting water content in real ethanol solvent samples.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites have recently emerged as promising X/γ-ray scintillators. However, the small Stokes shift of exciton luminescence in perovskite scintillators creates problems for the light extraction efficiency and severely impedes their applications in hard X/γ-ray detection. Dopants have been used to shift the emission wavelength, but the radioluminescence lifetime has also been unwantedly extended. Herein, we demonstrate the intrinsic strain in 2D perovskite crystals as a general phenomenon, which could be utilized as self-wavelength shifting to reduce the self-absorption effect without sacrificing the radiation response speed. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated the first imaging reconstruction by perovskites for application of positron emission tomography. The coincidence time resolution for the optimized perovskite single crystals (4 × 4 × 0.8 mm3) reached 119 ± 3 ps. This work provides a new paradigm for suppressing the self-absorption effect in scintillators and may facilitate the application of perovskite scintillators in practical hard X/γ-ray detections.

Abstract
Low-dimensional Cu(I)-based metal halide materials are gaining attention due to their low toxicity, high stability and unique luminescence mechanism, which is mediated by self-trapped excitons (STEs). Among them, Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 , which emits blue light, is a promising candidate for applications as a next-generation blue-emitting material. In this article, an optimized colloidal process to synthesize uniform Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 nanocrystals (NCs) with a superior quantum yield (QY) is proposed. In addition, precise control of the synthesis parameters, enabling anisotropic growth and emission wavelength shifting is demonstrated. The synthesized Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs have an excellent photoluminescence (PL) retention rate, even at high temperature, and exhibit high stability over multiple heating-cooling cycles under ambient conditions. Moreover, under 850-nm femtosecond laser irradiation, the NCs exhibit three-photon absorption (3PA)-induced PL, highlighting the possibility of utilizing their nonlinear optical properties. Such thermally stable and highly luminescent Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs with nonlinear optical properties overcome the limitations of conventional blue-emitting nanomaterials. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of the colloidal synthesis of Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs and a foundation for further research.

Abstract
Recent developments in the perovskite field have aimed at exploring cluster-based organic-inorganic copper(I) halides as novel luminescent materials because of their low toxicity and structural diversity. However, the poor framework stability and low dispersion in solvent constitute the key challenges to their practical applications such as luminescent inks. Herein, we report the preparation of highly luminescent inks via one-pot solution synthesis, which consisted of ionic CumIn clusters (tetrabutylammonium copper iodide) coupled with polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Benefiting from the high-affinity PVP to stabilize and disperse the Cu-I inorganic units, the obtained hybrid nanocrystals exhibit high structural stabilitiy/photostability and good dispersion in ethanol. The characteristics of bright white light emission from inks were explored by temperature-dependent photoluminescence experiments and theoretical calculations. Attractively, the stable, highly luminescent inks show great potential for practical applications, such as anticounterfeiting and imaging identification. Our study offers a new material designing strategy that may be generalized to many other material classes.

Abstract
Self-trapped excitons (STEs) have recently attracted tremendous interest due to their broadband emission, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and self-absorption-free properties, which enable a large range of optoelectronic applications such as lighting, displays, radiation detection, and special sensors. Unlike free excitons, the formation of STEs requires strong coupling between excited state excitons and the soft lattice in low electronic dimensional materials. The chemical and structural diversity of metal halides provides an ideal platform for developing efficient STE emission materials. Herein, an overview of recent progress on STE emission materials for optoelectronic applications is presented. The relationships between the fundamental emission mechanisms, chemical compositions, and device performances are systematically reviewed. On this basis, currently existing challenges and possible development opportunities in this field are presented.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional (0D) organic metal halides have captured extensive attention for their various structures and distinguished optical characteristics. However, achieving efficient emission through rational crystal structure design remains a great challenge, and how the crystal structure affects the photophysical properties of 0D metal halides is currently unclear. Herein, a rational crystal structure regulation strategy in 0D Sb(III)-based metal halides is proposed to realize near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Specifically, two 0D organic Sb(III)-based compounds with different coordination configurations, namely, (C25H22P)2SbCl5 and (C25H22P)SbCl4 (C25H22P+ = benzyltriphenylphosphonium), were successfully obtained by precisely controlling the ratio of the initial raw materials. (C25H22P)2SbCl5 adopts an octahedral coordination geometry and shows highly efficient broadband yellow emission with a PLQY of 98.6%, while (C25H22P)SbCl4 exhibits a seesaw-shaped [SbCl4]- cluster and does not emit light under photoexcitation. Theoretical calculations reveal that, by rationally controlling the coordination structure, the indirect bandgap of (C25H22P)SbCl4 can be converted to the direct bandgap of (C25H22P)2SbCl5, thus ultimately boosting the emission intensity. Together with efficient emission and outstanding stability of (C25H22P)2SbCl5, a high-performance white-light emitting diode (WLED) with a high luminous efficiency of 31.2 lm W-1 is demonstrated. Our findings provide a novel strategy to regulate the coordination structure of the crystals, so as to rationally optimize the luminescence properties of organic metal halides.

Abstract
The all-inorganic lead-free Cu-based halide perovskites represented by the Cs-Cu-I system, have sparked extensive interest recently due to their impressive photophysical characteristics. However, successive works on their potential application in light emission diodes and photodetectors rely on tiny polycrystals, in which the grain boundaries and defects may lead to the performance degradation of their embodied devices. Here, 2D all-inorganic perovskite Cs3 Cu2 I5 single crystals are epitaxially grown on mica substrates, with a thickness down to 10 nm. The strong blue emission of the Cs3 Cu2 I5 flakes may originate from the radiative transition of self-trapped excitons associated with a large Stocks shift and long (microsecond) decay time. Ultravioelt (UV) photodetectors based on individual Cs3 Cu2 I5 nanosheets are fabricated via a swift and etching-free dry transfer approach, which reveal a high responsivity of 3.78 A W-1 (270 nm, 5 V bias), as well as a fast response speed (τrise ≈163 ms, τdecay ≈203 ms), outperforming congeneric UV sensors based on other 2D metal halide perovskites. This work therefore sheds light on the fabrication of green optoelectronic devices based on lead-free 2D perovskites, vital for the sustainable development of photoelectric technology.

A Zero-Dimensional Organic Lead Bromide of (TPA)2PbBr4 Single Crystal with Bright Blue Emission. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12132222. [PMID: 35808057 PMCID: PMC9268179 DOI: 10.3390/nano12132222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Blue-luminescence materials are needed in urgency. Recently, zero-dimensional (0D) organic metal halides have attractive much attention due to unique structure and excellent optical properties. However, realizing blue emission with near-UV-visible light excitation in 0D organic metal halides is still a great challenge due to their generally large Stokes shifts. Here, we reported a new (0D) organic metal halides (TPA)2PbBr4 single crystal (TPA+ = tetrapropylammonium cation), in which the isolated [PbBr4]2− tetrahedral clusters are surrounded by organic ligand of TPA+, forming a 0D framework. Upon photoexcitation, (TPA)2PbBr4 exhibits a blue emission peaking at 437 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 50 nm and a relatively small Stokes shift of 53 nm. Combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and spectral analysis, it is found that the observed blue emission in (TPA)2PbBr4 comes from the combination of free excitons (FEs) and self-trapped exciton (STE), and a small Stokes shift of this compound are caused by the small structure distortion of [PbBr4]2− cluster in the excited state confined by TPA molecules, in which the multi-phonon effect take action. Our results not only clarify the important role of excited state structure distortion in regulating the STEs formation and emission, but also focus on 0D metal halides with bright blue emission under the near-UV-visible light excitation.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel organic-inorganic hybrid CuI halide PyCs3Cu2Br6 (Py: pyridinium), where pyridinium and cesium ions coexist. We successfully develop a novel strategy for fabricating turn-on responsive materials. PyCs3Cu2Br6 has a higher single-crystal symmetry (no. 191) than its all-inorganic counterpart Cs3Cu2Br5 (no. 62), and the incorporation of organic pyridinium varied the coordination environment of CuI. PyCs3Cu2Br6 formed a triangle planar structure with solely 3-coordinated CuI ions, which quenched its luminescence. However, PyCs3Cu2Br6 presented a hexagonal channel structure, which enabled it with turn-on response upon mechanical force, heat, moisture, and amine vapor. Such structure offered channels for active molecules to diffuse and interact with pyridiniums, leading to the stimuli-triggered phase change to highly emissive Cs3Cu2Br5. To our best knowledge, for the first time, we discover a novel 3-coordinated organic-inorganic hybrid CuI halide with turn-on response to external stimuli. We believe that our study will contribute to expanding the landscape of smart stimulus-responsive materials and lay the foundation for their wide applications.

Abstract
Recently, cuprous halide perovskite-type materials have drawn tremendous attention for their intriguing optical properties. Here, a zero-dimensional (0D) Cu(I)-based compound of [(C3H7)4N]2Cu2I4 ([C3H7)4N]+ = tetrapropylammonium cation) was synthesized by a facile solution method, a monoclinic system of P21/n symmetry with a Cu2I42- cluster as the confined structure. The as-synthesized [(C3H7)4N]2Cu2I4 exhibits bright dual-band pure white emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 91.9% and CIE color coordinates of (0.33, 0.35). Notably, this compound also exhibits an ultrahigh color rendering index (CRI) of 92.2, which is comparable to the highest value of single-component metal halides reported recently. Its Raman spectra provide a clear spectral profile of strong electron-phonon interaction after [(C3H7)4N]+ incorporation, favoring the self-trapped exciton (STE) formation. [(C3H7)4N]2Cu2I4 can give dual-STE bands at the same time because of the Cu-Cu metal bond in a Cu2I42- cluster, whose populations could be scaled by temperature, together with the local dipole orientation modulation of neighboring STEs and phase transition related emission color coordinate change. Particularly, the outstanding chemical- and antiwater stability of this compound was also demonstrated. This work illustrates the potential of such cuprous halide perovskite-type materials in multifunctional applications, such as lighting in varied environments.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites have promising values in photoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, but the toxicity of lead is a hard barrier. Copper halide perovskite derivatives (CHPDs), as a lead-free substitution of lead halide perovskites, also exhibit excellent photoelectric properties. Here, we present a facile one-step route for the synthesis of blue-emissive Cs3Cu2I5 (emission at 440 nm) and yellow-emissive CsCu2I3 (emission at 552 nm) CHPDs in ethanol at room temperature. Triggered by ethanol or CsI, a reversible chemical transformation accompanied by emissive color change between Cs3Cu2I5 and CsCu2I3 CHPDs was achieved. The reversible transformation mechanism was discussed, and this transformation was employed for effective anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
Progress towards high performance X-ray detection and dynamic imaging applications, including nondestructive inspection, homeland security, and medical diagnostics, requires scintillators with a high light yield, a reasonable decay time, low cost, and eco-friendliness. Recently, copper halide scintillators have drawn tremendous attention due to their outstanding radioluminescence performance. Here, we first employed β-Cs3Cu2Cl5 as a high-performance scintillator, with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 94.6%, a radioluminescence light yield of 34 000 ± 4000 photons per MeV, a low detection limit of 81.7 nGyair s-1, and good operational stability under a total X-ray dose of 174.6 Gyair in air. In addition, this scintillator presents a high spatial resolution of 9.6 lp mm-1 at the modulation transfer function of 0.2 and a superb performance at 60 frames per second in our X-ray imaging system. Overall, this highly efficient scintillator demonstrates outstanding comprehensive performance and shows great potential for broad applications in X-ray detection and dynamic imaging.

Abstract
The broad emission and high photoluminescence quantum yield of self-trapped exciton (STE) radiative recombination emitters make them an ideal solution for single-substrate, white, solid-state lighting sources. Unlike impurities and defects in semiconductors, the formation of STEs requires a lattice distortion, along with strong electron-phonon coupling, in low electron-dimensional materials. The photoluminescence of inorganic copper(I) metal halides with low electron-dimensionality has been found to be the result of STEs. These materials were of significant interest because of their lead-free, all-inorganic structures, and high luminous efficiencies. In this paper, we summarize the luminescence characteristics of zero- and one-dimensional inorganic copper(I) metal halides with STEs to provide an overview of future research opportunities.

Abstract
Here, we report (C4H9)4NCuCl2 single crystals with a luminous intensity that remains largely the same after soaking in water for 24 h. (CH9)4NCuCl2 has a new type zero-dimensional framework, in which the isolated [CuCl2]- anions are wrapped by organic (C4H9)4N+ cations. As expected, (C4H9)4NCuCl2 shows a broad emission band at 508 nm with a photoluminescence quantum yield of approximately 82% at room temperature, stemming from self-trapped exciton (STE) emission. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurement reveals that there is an energy barrier ΔE (24.0 meV) between the intrinsic state and STE state, which leads to the increase in emission intensity with an increase in temperature (98-278 K), while the emission intensity begins to decrease when the temperature is higher than 278 K due to the effects of both thermal quenching and carrier scattering. Our findings provide a new idea for the design of lead-free anti-water stability metal halide materials.

Abstract
Conventional inorganic semiconductors are best known for their superior physical properties and chemical robustness, and their widespread use in optoelectronic devices. However, implementation of these materials in many other applications has been hindered by their poor solubility and/or solution-processability, a longstanding drawback that is largely responsible for issues such as high cost. While recent progress on hybrid perovskites, an important class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials, has shed light on the development of high-performance solution processable semiconductors, they rely heavily on toxic metals and generally suffer from framework instability. To address these issues, a new group of hybrid semiconductors based on anionic copper(i) halide and cationic organic ligands has been developed. These compounds are noted as All-In-One (AIO) structures as they consist of covalently bonded anionic CuX inorganic modules that form both coordinate and ionic bonds with cationic organic ligands. Studies demonstrate that framework stability and solution processibility of these materials are greatly enhanced as a result of such bonds. In the perspective, we highlight the development of this newly emerged type of materials including their crystal structures, chemical and physical properties and possible applications. The untapped potential that the AIO approach can offer for other hybrid families is also discussed.
