Abstract
Lead-free layered double perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), i.e., Cs4M(II)M(III)2Cl12, have recently attracted increasing attention for potential optoelectronic applications due to their low toxicity, direct bandgap nature, and high structural stability. However, the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, <1%) or even no observed emissions at room temperature have severely blocked the further development of this type of lead-free halide perovskites. Herein, two new layered perovskites, Cs4CoIn2Cl12 (CCoI) and Cs4ZnIn2Cl12 (CZnI), are successfully synthesized at the nanoscale based on previously reported Cs4CuIn2Cl12 (CCuI) NCs, by tuning the M(II) site with different transition metal ions for lattice tailoring. Benefiting from the formation of more self-trapped excitons (STEs) in the distorted lattices, CCoI and CZnI NCs exhibit significantly strengthened STE emissions toward white light compared to the case of almost non-emissive CCuI NCs, by achieving PLQYs of 4.3% and 11.4% respectively. The theoretical and experimental results hint that CCoI and CZnI NCs possess much lower lattice deformation energies than that of reference CCuI NCs, which are favorable for the recombination of as-formed STEs in a radiative way. This work proposes an effective strategy of lattice engineering to boost the photoluminescent properties of lead-free layered double perovskites for their future warm white light-emitting applications.

Abstract
Lead-free halide perovskites as a new kind of potential candidate for photocatalytic organic synthesis have attracted much attention recently. The rational heterojunction construction is regarded as an efficient strategy to delicately regulate their catalytic performances. Herein, a semi-conductive covalent organic framework (COF) nanosheet, C4N, is employed as the functional component to construct Cs2AgBiCl6/C4N (CABC/C4N) heterojunction. It is found that the C4N nanosheets with rich surface functional groups can serve as heterogeneous nucleation sites to manipulate the growth of CABC nanocrystals and afford close contact between each other, therefore facilitate the transfer and spatial separation of photogenerated charge carriers, as verified by in situ X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy. Moreover, the oxygen affinity of C4N endows the heterojunctions with outstanding aerobic reactivity, thus improving the photocatalytic performance largely. The optimal CABC/C4N heterojunction delivers a thioanisole conversion efficiency of 100% after 6 h, which is 2.2 and 7.7-fold of that of CABC and C4N. This work provides a new ideal for the design and application of lead-free perovskite heterojunction photocatalysts for organic reactions.

Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have attracted extensive attention for their potential applications in biology. However, only a handful of PNCs have been scrutinized in the biological domain due to issues such as instability, poor dispersion, and size inhomogeneity in polar solvents. The development of dual-functional perovskite nanomaterials with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) sensing and antibacterial capabilities is particularly intriguing. In this study, we prepared chiral quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskite nanomaterials, Bio(S-PEA)2CsPb2Br7 and Bio(R-PEA)2CsPb2Br7, that were uniformly dispersed in aqueous media. The effective encapsulation of methoxypolyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH2) improved water stability and uniformity of particle size. Circular dichroism (CD) signals were created by the successful insertion of chiral cations. These perovskites as probes showed a rapid and sensitive fluorescence quenching response to H2S, and the effect of imaging detection was observed at the Escherichia coli (E. coli) level. As antibacterial agents, their pronounced positive charge properties facilitated membrane lysis and subsequent E. coli death, indicating a significant antibacterial effect. This work has preliminary explored the application of chiral perovskites in biology and provides insight into the development of bifunctional perovskite nanomaterials for biological applications.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the effects observed in MAPbI3 polycrystalline films and solar cells under moderate gamma-ray doses of 3-21 kGy. We applied several instrumental techniques such as photoluminescence spectroscopy, time-resolved photoluminescence, Suns-VOC measurement, and impedance spectroscopy to characterize exposed samples. We observed a nonlinear dependency of such characteristics as PL intensity, career lifetime, ideality factor, and recombination resistance on the exposure dose. Small doses of 3-5 kGy annihilate some of the defect centers in the material, which results in improved carrier extraction and prolonged carrier lifetime, while with larger doses of 10 kGy and above, nonradiative recombination becomes predominant. In this way, we revealed a gamma-ray threshold for MAPbI3 films of around 10 kGy, above which it is not recommended to exploit this material. In space environment, yearly doses rarely exhibit 0.1 kGy (10 krad), and the MAPbI3 material has a sufficient margin of safety for space applications. Moreover, this unusual behaviour opens up the opportunity to use gamma-ray sources as an effective method to improve the quality of defective polycrystalline perovskite films before actual exploitation in an ionizing radiation-free environment.

Abstract
Elucidating the key factors that affect the localized excitons (LEs) photoluminescence (PL) in lead-free metal halide nanocrystals (NCs) is important for their optoelectronic applications. However, the effect of A-site cations on LEs based PL is not well understood. Herein, we varied the A-site cation ratio (Rb/Cs) to investigate the influence on LEs based PL in manganese-doped zinc chloride NCs. Through time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) spectra and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we discovered that Cl vacancy is energetically more favorable in Mn2+-doped Rb3ZnCl5 NCs compared to Mn2+-doped Cs3ZnCl5 NCs. The higher concentration of Cl vacancy increases the nonradiative recombination process in Rb3ZnCl5:Mn2+ NCs, ultimately determining the PL efficiency. This research enhances the understanding of the A-site cation effect on LEs-based PL in lead-free metal halide NCs.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:9497-9508. [PMID: 38516157 PMCID: PMC10953807 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra00754a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
A computational framework based on density functional theory (DFT) has been effectively employed to investigate the wide-ranging physical characteristics of ferromagnetic manganese (Mn)-substituted double perovskites (DPs) with composition Cs2AgIn1-xMnxCl/Br6 (x = 0.0, 0.25). This research covers a systematic exploration of the mentioned DPs for potential applications in the domains of spintronics and energy conversion devices. The physics concerning ferromagnetic (FM) Cs2AgIn0.75Mn0.25Cl/Br6 DPs was studied computationally using the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ-LDA) potential and the generalized gradient approximation (PBEsol GGA) method introduced by Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof. The structural, electronic, magnetic, and transport behavior of materials were investigated using these computations. Structural parameters for both perovskite materials were computed subsequent to their optimization in FM phase. According to evaluations of the electronic band structure and density of states (DOS), the incorporation of Mn ions into the host lattice causes exchange splitting induced by p-d hybridization, consequently stabilizing the FM state. Probing the sharing of magnetic moment, charge, and spin between the substituent cations and the host anions led to the comprehensive elaboration of this exchange splitting of bands. Important parameters such as exchange constants (N0α, N0β), and direct spin-exchange splitting Δx(d), support the stability of the FM state. Finally, we briefly explored the spin effect on other aspects of electronic transport, the Seebeck coefficient, and the power factor, using the conventional Boltzmann transport theory.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysts incorporating metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have garnered significant attention due to their remarkable attributes: strong visible-light absorption, tuneable band energy levels, rapid charge transfer, and defect tolerance. Additionally, the promising optical and electronic properties of MHP nanocrystals can be harnessed for photocatalytic applications through controlled crystal structure engineering, involving composition tuning via metal ion and halide ion variations, dimensional tuning, and surface chemistry modifications. Combination of perovskites with other materials can improve the photoinduced charge separation and charge transfer, building heterostructures with different band alignments, such as type-II, Z-scheme, and Schottky heterojunctions, which can fine-tune redox potentials of the perovskite for photocatalytic organic reactions. This review delves into the activation of organic molecules through charge and energy transfer mechanisms. The review further investigates the impact of crystal engineering on photocatalytic activity, spanning a diverse array of organic transformations, such as C-X bond formation (X = C, N, and O), [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadditions, substrate isomerization, and asymmetric catalysis. This study provides insights to propel the advancement of metal halide perovskite-based photocatalysts, thereby fostering innovation in organic chemical transformations.

Abstract
Inorganic lead-free halide perovskites, devoid of toxic or rare elements, have garnered considerable attention as photocatalysts for pollution control, CO2 reduction and hydrogen production. In the extensive perovskite design space, factors like substitution or doping level profoundly impact their performance. To address this complexity, a synergistic combination of machine learning models and theoretical calculations were used to efficiently screen substitution elements that enhanced the photoactivity of substituted Cs2 AgBiBr6 perovskites. Machine learning models determined the importance of d10 orbitals, highlighting how substituent electron configuration affects electronic structure of Cs2 AgBiBr6 . Conspicuously, d10 -configured Zn2+ boosted the photoactivity of Cs2 AgBiBr6 . Experimental verification validated these model results, revealing a 13-fold increase in photocatalytic toluene conversion compared to the unsubstituted counterpart. This enhancement resulted from the small charge carrier effective mass, as well as the creation of shallow trap states, shifting the conduction band minimum, introducing electron-deficient Br, and altering the distance between the B-site cations d band centre and the halide anions p band centre, a parameter tuneable through d10 configuration substituents. This study exemplifies the application of computational modelling in photocatalyst design and elucidating structure-property relationships. It underscores the potential of synergistic integration of calculations, modelling, and experimental analysis across various applications.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have unparalleled optoelectronic properties and broad application potential and are expected to become the next epoch-making optoelectronic semiconductors. Although remarkable achievements have been achieved with lead halide perovskites, the toxicity of lead inhibits the development of such materials. Recently, Sb3+-activated luminescent metal halide perovskite materials with low toxicity, high efficiency, broadband, large Stokes shift, and emission wavelengths covering the entire visible and near-infrared regions have been considered one of the most likely luminescent materials to replace lead halide perovskites. This review reviews the synthesis, luminescence mechanism, structure, and luminescence properties of the compounds. The basic luminescence properties of Sb3+-activated luminescent metal halide perovskites and their applications in WLED, electroluminescence LED, temperature sensing, optical anti-counterfeiting, and X-ray scintillators are introduced. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of Sb3+-activated luminescent metal halide perovskites are discussed.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) have demonstrated remarkable potential for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This is because of their high photoluminescence quantum yield, defect tolerance, tunable emission wavelength, color purity, and high device efficiency. However, the environmental toxicity of Pb has impeded their commercial viability owing to the restriction of hazardous substances directive. Therefore, Pb-free PeNCs have emerged as a promising solution for the development of eco-friendly LEDs. This review article presents a detailed analysis of the various compositions of Pb-free PeNCs, including tin-, bismuth-, antimony-, and copper-based perovskites and double perovskites, focusing on their stability, optoelectronic properties, and device performance in LEDs. Furthermore, we address the challenges encountered in using Pb-free PeNC-LEDs and discuss the prospects and potential of these Pb-free PeNCs as sustainable alternatives to lead-based PeLEDs. In this review, we aim to shed light on the current state of Pb-free PeNC LEDs and highlight their significance in driving the development of eco-friendly LED technologies.

Abstract
Due to their intrinsic stability and reduced toxicity, lead-free halide double perovskite semiconductors have become potential alternatives to lead-based perovskites. In the present study, we used density functional theory simulations to investigate the mechanical stability and band gap evolution of double perovskites Cs2AgBiX6 (X = Cl and Br) under an applied pressure. To investigate the pressure-dependent properties, the hydrostatic pressure induced was in the range of 0-100 GPa. The mechanical behaviors indicated that the materials under study are both ductile and mechanically stable and that the induced pressure enhances the ductility. As a result of the induced pressure, the covalent bonds transformed into metallic bonds with a reduction in bond lengths. Electronic properties, energy bands, and electronic density of states were obtained with the hybrid HSE06 functional, including spin-orbit coupling (HSE06 + SOC) calculations. The electronic structure study revealed that Cs2AgBiX6 samples behave as X-Γ indirect gap semiconductors, and the gap reduces with the applied pressure. The pressure-driven samples ultimately transform from the semiconductor to a metallic phase at the given pressure range. Also, the calculations demonstrated that the applied pressure and spin-orbit coupling of the states pushed VBM and CBM toward the Fermi level which caused the evolution of the band gap. The relationship between the structure and band gap demonstrates the potential for designing lead-free inorganic perovskites for optoelectronic applications, including solar cells as well as X-ray detectors.

Abstract
Double perovskites without lead element have attracted great attention in recent years. Further increasing the photoluminescence quantum yield of lead-free double perovskites is necessary for their potential applications. In this work, Na+ doped Cs2SnI6 nanocrystals were synthesized by hot injection method. It was displayed that all the NCs have uniform hexagonal shape with good crystallization. Energy dispersing spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proves the Na+ ions were doped in the lattice of perovskite structure. The photoluminescence intensity of doped NCs is increased by 2.7-fold than that of pure NCs. A maximum photoluminescence quantum yield of 72% is obtained. The luminous mechanism was investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectrum and a self-trap emission was proved by the observation of ground state bleaching and photo-induced absorption signals.

Abstract
Vacancy-ordered Cs2ZrX6 (X = Cl, Br) double perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently attracted increasing attention in optoelectronic applications due to their promising photoluminescence property, high photostability, and low toxicity. However, their ultra-fast reaction limits the growth control and kinetics study of these Cs2ZrX6 NCs. Here we report the synthesis of Cs2ZrX6 NCs through a microfluidic reactor and achievement of tunable emission wavelengths by controlling the NC size and hybrid halogen ions. Reaction kinetics study reveals that the amine ligand and reaction temperature play dominate roles in the growth and optical performance of the Cs2ZrX6 NCs. The effects of flow rate, precursors, and ligand ratio on the morphology and optical property of the NCs were also investigated. This study provides an insight into the growth kinetics of the Cs2ZrX6 perovskite NCs and their continuous production through a microfluidic reactor that could facilitate the development and optical application of lead-free vacancy-ordered double perovskite NCs.

Abstract
Pressure-induced emission (PIE) associated with self-trapping excitons (STEs) in low-dimensional halide perovskites has attracted great attention for better materials-by-design. Here, using 2D layered double perovskite (C6 H5 CH2 CH2 NH3 + )4 AgBiBr8 as a model system, we advance a fundamental physicochemical mechanism of the PIE from the perspective of carrier dynamics and excited-state behaviors of local lattice distortion. We observed a pressure-driven STE transformation from dark to bright states, corresponding a strong broadband Stokes-shifted emission. Further theoretical analysis demonstrated that the suppressed lattice distortion and enhanced electronic dimensionality in the excited-state play an important role in the formation of stabilized bright STEs, which could manipulate the self-trapping energy and lattice deformation energy to form an energy barrier between the potential energy curves of ground- and excited-state, and enhance the electron-hole orbital overlap, respectively.

Abstract
Halide perovskite materials, especially lead-based perovskites, have been widely used for optoelectronic and catalytic applications. However, the high toxicity of the lead element is a major concern that directs the research work toward lead-free halide perovskites, which could utilize bismuth as a promising candidate. Until now, the replacement of lead by bismuth in perovskites has been well studied by designing bismuth-based halide perovskite (BHP) nanomaterials with versatile physical-chemical properties, which are emerging in various application fields, especially heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this mini-review, we present a brief overview of recent progress in BHP nanomaterials for photocatalysis under visible light. The synthesis and physical-chemical properties of BHP nanomaterials have been comprehensively summarized, including zero-dimensional, two-dimensional nanostructures and hetero-architectures. Later, we introduce the photocatalytic applications of these novel BHP nanomaterials with visible-light response, improved charge separation/transport and unique catalytic sites. Due to advanced nano-morphologies, a well-designed electronic structure and an engineered surface chemical micro-environment, BHP nanomaterials demonstrate enhanced photocatalytic performance for hydrogen generation, CO2 reduction, organic synthesis and pollutant removal. Finally, the challenges and future research directions of BHP nanomaterials for photocatalysis are discussed.

Abstract
Heavy-metal (Cd, Hg, and Pb)-containing semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been explored widely due to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, the toxicity risks of heavy metals can be a drawback of heavy-metal-containing NCs in some applications. Anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs are desirable replacements and can be realized following the establishment of anisotropic growth mechanisms. These anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs can possess lower toxicity risks, while still exhibiting unique optical and electrical properties originating from both the morphological and compositional anisotropy. As a result, they are promising light-emitting materials in use various applications. In this review, we provide an overview on the syntheses, properties, and applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs. In the first section, we discuss hazards of heavy metals and introduce the typical heavy-metal-containing and heavy-metal-free NCs. In the next section, we discuss anisotropic growth mechanisms, including solution-liquid-solid (SLS), oriented attachment, ripening, templated-assisted growth, and others. We discuss mechanisms leading both to morphological anisotropy and to compositional anisotropy. Examples of morphological anisotropy include growth of nanorods (NRs)/nanowires (NWs), nanotubes, nanoplatelets (NPLs)/nanosheets, nanocubes, and branched structures. Examples of compositional anisotropy, including heterostructures and core/shell structures, are summarized. Third, we provide insights into the properties of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs including optical polarization, fast electron transfer, localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), and so on, which originate from the NCs' anisotropic morphologies and compositions. Finally, we summarize some applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs including catalysis, solar cells, photodetectors, lighting-emitting diodes (LEDs), and biological applications. Despite the huge progress on the syntheses and applications of anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs, some issues still exist in the novel anisotropic heavy-metal-free NCs and the corresponding energy conversion applications. Therefore, we also discuss the challenges of this field and provide possible solutions to tackle these challenges in the future.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites (DP) have the potential to become a rising star in the next generation of lighting markets by addressing the toxicity and instability issues associated with traditional lead-based perovskites. However, high concentrations of hydrochloric acid (HCl) were often employed as a solvent in the preparation of most DPs, accompanied by slow crystallization at high temperatures, which not only raised the risk and cost in the preparation process, but also had a potential threat to the environment. Here, an in situ fabrication strategy was proposed to realize the crystallization of DP in the polymer at low temperature with a mild dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent, and subsequently obtained optically well-behaved Cs2Na0.8Ag0.2BiCl6/PMMA composite films (CFs) by doping with Ag+, generating bright orange luminescence with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 21.52%. Moreover, the growth dynamics of Cs2Na0.8Ag0.2BiCl6/PMMA CFs was further investigated by in situ optical transformation, which was extended to other DP-based polymer CFs. Finally, these CFs exhibited excellent performance in optoelectronic devices and anticounterfeit printing, the results of which provide a new pathway to advance the development of lead-free DP materials in the optical field.

Abstract
Non-toxicity and stability make two-dimensional (2D) bismuth halide perovskites better alternatives to lead-based ones for optoelectronic applications and catalysis. In this work, we synthesize sub-micron size colloidal quasi-2D Cs3Bi2I9 perovskite nanosheets and study their generation and relaxation of charge carriers. Steady-state absorption spectroscopy reveals an indirect bandgap of 2.07 eV, which is supported by the band structure calculated using density functional theory. The nanosheets show no detectable photoluminescence at room temperature at near bandgap excitation which is attributed to the indirect bandgap. However, cathodoluminescence spanning a broad range from 500 nm to 750 nm with an asymmetric and Stokes-shifted emission is observed, indicating the phonon- and trap-assisted recombination of charge carriers. We study the ultrafast charge carrier dynamics in Cs3Bi2I9 nanosheets using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The samples are excited with photon energies higher than their bandgap, and the results are interpreted in terms of hot carrier generation (<1 ps), thermalization with local phonons (∼1 ps), and cooling (>30 ps). Further, a relatively slow relaxation of excitons (≳3 ns) at the band edge suggests the formation of stable polarons which decay nonradiatively by releasing phonons.

Abstract
Designing of heterojunction photocatalysts with appropriate interfacial contact plays crucial roles in enhancing the interfacial charge transfer/separation. A two-dimensional (2D)/2D face-to-face heterojunction is an ideal option since this architecture with a large contact area can provide abundant reactive centers and promote the interfacial charge transfer/separation between layers. Herein, a novel 2D/2D heterojunction of NiFe-layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDH)/Cs2AgBiBr6 (CABB) was fabricated by electrostatic self-assembly of NiFe-LDH and CABB nanosheets. This unique 2D/2D architecture endowed NiFe-LDH/CABB with a large contact area and a short charge transport distance, assuring remarkable interfacial charge transfer/separation rates. As a result, the 2D/2D NiFe-LDH/CABB heterojunction exhibited significant improvement in photocatalytic CO2 reduction under visible light than the pristine counterparts. Based on density functional theory calculations and various characterizations, a step scheme charge-transfer mechanism was proposed. This investigation sheds light on the designing and manufacturing of highly efficient 2D/2D heterostructure photocatalysts for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) halide perovskite nanocrystals, with the general formula APbX3 , where A=CH3 NH3+ , CH(NH2 )2+ , or Cs+ and X=Cl- , Br- , or I- , have emerged as a class of materials with promising properties due to their remarkable optical properties and solar cell performance. However, important issues still need to be addressed to enable practical applications of these materials, such as instability, mass production, and Pb toxicity. Recent studies have carried out the replacement of Pb by various less-toxic cations as Sn, Ge, Sb, and Bi. This variety of chemical compositions provide Pb-free perovskite and metal halide nanostructures with a wide spectral range, in addition to being considered less toxic, therefore having greater practical applicability. Highlighting the necessity to address and solve the toxicity problems related to Pb-containing perovskite, this review considers the prospects of the Pb-free perovskite, involving synthesis methods, and properties of them, including advantages, disadvantages, and applications.

Abstract
In this work, we first developed Cs2KBiCl6 cubic double perovskite nanocrystals and a series of morphologically isotropic double perovskite nanocrystals. Different contributions of different elements to self-trapped states were revealed by density functional theory. Meanwhile, these double perovskite nanocrystals exhibit the coexistence of free and self-trapped exciton dual-color photoluminescence. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy can confirm that the double perovskite nanocrystals produce a relatively obvious structural deformation in the excited state. We infer that this can lead to a large deviation of the excitation and emission transition dipoles, thus causing large photoluminescence anisotropy. Most importantly, we observe for the first time that both free exciton emission and self-trapped exciton emission are highly anisotropic, which are comparable to or even better than that of lead halide perovskites. This research paves the way for exploring more possibilities and practical applications.

Among these, inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) stand out for their prominent merits, such as quantum confinement effects, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and defect-tolerant structures. Additionally, ligand engineering and an all-inorganic composition lead to a robust platform for ambient-stable QD devices. This review presents the state-of-the-art research progress on inorganic perovskite QDs, emphasizing their electronic applications. In detail, the physical properties of inorganic perovskite QDs will be introduced first, followed by a discussion of synthesis methods and growth control. Afterwards, the emerging applications of inorganic perovskite QDs in electronics, including transistors and memories, will be presented. Finally, this review will provide an outlook on potential strategies for advancing inorganic perovskite QD technologies.

Abstract
Self-trapped excitons (STEs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their intriguing properties and potential optoelectronic applications. STEs are formed from the lattice distortion induced by the strong electron (exciton)-phonon coupling in soft semiconductors upon photoexcitation, which features in broadband photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra with a large Stokes shift. Recently, significant progress has been achieved in this field but many remain challenges that need to be solved, including the understanding of the underlying physical mechanism, tuning of the performance, and device applications. Along these lines, for the first time, systematic experimental characterizations and advanced theoretical calculations are presented in this review to shed light on the physical mechanism. The possibility of tuning the STEs through multiple degrees of freedom is also presented, along with an overview of the STE-based emerged applications and future research perspectives.

Abstract
Double perovskites with bright emission, low toxicity, and excellent stability have drawn considerable attention. Herein, we report the hydrothermal synthesis of Mn2+-doped Cs2Na1-xAgxBiCl6 double perovskites that exhibit dual emission modes. Introducing Ag+ ions to Cs2NaBiCl6 samples enables a bright self-trapped exciton (STE) emission in orange-red color, whereas Mn2+ dopants induce a yellow-orange emission. Importantly, Mn2+ doping into Cs2Na1-xAgxBiCl6 double perovskites with an indirect bandgap enables a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 49.52 ± 2%. Density functional theory calculations reveal that bringing Ag+ ions into Cs2NaBiCl6 can localize wave function to the [AgCl6]5- octahedron and convert dark transitions to bright STE transitions. Moreover, the 3d orbitals of Mn2+ dopants hybridize with Bi-6p and Cl-3p orbitals at the conduction band minimum, resulting in direct electron transfer from the host to Mn2+ and a significant increase in photoluminescence efficiency. These results shed light on the optical physical process of Mn2+-doped systems, providing useful information for further improvement of the photoluminescence efficiency of double perovskites.

Abstract
In response to calling for a sustainable and carbon-neutral economy, the conversion of CO2 to useful chemicals using the solar energy is a potential tactic to relieve the global energy dilemma and environmental issues, which has been a hot topic so far. Recently, the lead halide perovskites as novel photocatalysts have attracted researchers' interests. However, they generally encounter poor stability and lead toxicity, restricting their large-scale practical applications. Here, the lead-free Cs2TeX6 (X = Cl, Cl0.5Br0.5, Br, Br0.5I0.5, and I) perovskite microcrystals with strong stability were prepared and used to realize the CO2 photocatalytic reduction efficiently. The prepared Cs2TeBr6 microcrystals delivered stronger photocatalytic ability than many previously reported photocatalysts, with the CO and CH4 yields of 308.63 and 60.42 μmolg-1, respectively, under 3 h of illumination. The presented strategy in our work provides new ideas of designing and preparing efficient and practical CO2 reduction photocatalysts based on nonleaded and high-stability halide perovskites.

Abstract
Active research on halide perovskites has given us a deep understanding of this family of materials and their potential for applications in advanced optoelectronic devices. One of the prominent outcomes is the use of perovskite materials for nonlinear optical applications. Two-photon absorption in perovskites, in particular their nanostructures, has been extensively studied and shows huge promise for many applications. However, we are still far from a thorough understanding of two-photon absorption in halide perovskites from a micro to macro perspective. Here we summarize different techniques for studying the two-photon absorption in nonlinear optical materials. We discuss the in-depth photophysics in two-photon absorption in halide perovskites. A comprehensive summary about the factors which influence two-photon absorption provides the direction to improve the two-photon absorption properties of halide perovskites. A summary of the recent applications of two-photon absorption in halide perovskites provides inspirations for engineers to utilize halide perovskites in two-photon absorption device development. This review will help readers to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the research field of two-photon absorption of halide perovskites from microscopic mechanisms to applications. The article can serve as a manual and give inspiration for future researchers.

Abstract
Iodido metalates of heavy main group elements have seen much research interest in the last years due to their possible application as absorbers in photovoltaics. However, for materials based on the non-toxic element bismuth one challenge lies in narrowing the optical band gap for sufficient solar absorption. Here, we present a new iodido silver bismuthate, [SMe3]2[Bi2Ag2I10] (1), which is prepared from solution and characterized regarding its structure, thermal stability and optical absorption. While compounds with similar anion compositions are known, the band gap of 1.82 eV is the smallest in chain-like Bi/Ag/I-compounds that has been reported to date. To support our experimental findings we carried out computational investigations and were able to reproduce the surprisingly narrow band gap, highlighting the subtle influence of the connectivity of different building units in multinary bismuthates. We also prepared and characterized the simple iodido pentelates [SMe]3[E2I9] (E = Bi, Sb; 2, 3) to provide a point of comparison.

Abstract
When excited by photons with energies greater than 2.2 eV, the bandgap energy, Yb-doped Cs2AgBiBr6 thin films synthesized via physical vapor deposition emit strong near-infrared luminescence centered at ∼1.24 eV via the Yb3+ 2F5/2 → 2F7/2 electronic transition. Robust, reproducible, and stable photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) as high as 82.5% are achieved with Cs2AgBiBr6 films doped with 8% Yb. This high PLQY indicates facile and efficient energy transfer from the perovskite host, Cs2AgBiBr6, to Yb, making Cs2AgBiBr6 the most promising lead-free down-conversion material.

Abstract
In resistive switching memories or artificial synaptic devices, halide perovskites have attracted attention for their unusual features such as rapid ion migration, adjustable composition, and facile synthesis. Herein, the environmentally friendly and highly air stable CsCu2I3 perovskite films are used as the active layer in the Au/CsCu2I3/ITO/glass artificial synapses. The device shows variable synaptic plasticities such as long-term and short-term synaptic plasticity, paired-pulse facilitation, and spike-timing-dependent plasticity by combining potentiation and depression along the formation of conductive filaments. The performances of the devices are maintained for 160 days under ambient conditions. Additionally, the accuracy evaluation of the CsCu2I3-based artificial synapses performs exceptionally well with the MNIST and Fashion MNIST data sets, demonstrating high learning accuracy in deep neural networks. Using the novel B-site engineered halide perovskite material with extreme air stability, this study paves the way for artificial synaptic devices for next-generation in-memory hardware.

Abstract
Pb-free perovskite material is considered to be a promising material utilized in next-generation X-ray detectors due to its high X-ray absorption coefficient, decent carrier transport properties, and relatively low toxicity. However, the pixelation of the perovskite material with an industry-level photolithography processing method remains challenging due to its poor structural stability. Herein, we use Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite material as the prototype and investigate its interaction with photolithographic polar solvents. Inspired by that, we propose a wafer-scale photolithography patterning method, where the pixeled perovskite array devices for X-ray detection are successfully prepared. The devices based on pixeled Pb-free perovskite material show a high detection sensitivity up to 19118 ± 763 μC Gyair-1 cm-2, which is comparable to devices with Pb-based perovskite materials and superior to the detection sensitivity (∼20 μC Gyair-1 cm-2) of the commercial a-Se detector. After pixelation, the devices achieve an improved spatial resolution capacity with the spatial frequency from 2.7 to 7.8 lp mm-1 at modulation-transfer-function (MTF) = 0.2. Thus, this work may contribute to the development of high-performance array X-ray detectors based on Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite material.

Abstract
Over the past decade, perovskite-based nanomaterials have gained notoriety within the scientific community and have been used for a variety of viable applications. The unique structural properties of these materials, namely good direct bandgap, low density of defects, large absorption coefficient, high sensitivity, long charge carrier lifetime, good selectivity, acceptable stability at room temperature, and good diffusion length have prompted researchers to explore their potential applications in photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, transistors, sensors, and other areas. Perovskite-based devices have shown very excellent sensing performances to numerous chemical and biological compounds in both solid and liquid mediums. When used in sensing devices, Perovskite nanomaterials are for the most part able to detect O2, NO2, CO2, H2O, and other smaller molecules. This review article looks at the use of lead-free halide perovskite materials for humidity sensing. A complete description of the underlying mechanisms and charge transport characteristics that are necessary for a thorough comprehension of the sensing performance will be provided. An overview of considerations and potential recommendations for the creation of new lead-free perovskite nanostructure-based sensors is presented.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskite nanomaterials with excellent optical properties have aroused great attention in the fields of solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasing, X-ray imaging, etc. However, the toxicity of lead prompts researchers to develop alternatives to cut down the usage of lead. Herein, all-inorganic manganese-based perovskite derivatives, CsMnCl3 nanocrystals (NCs), with uniform size and morphology have been synthesized successfully via a modified hot-injection method. These NCs have a direct bandgap of 4.08 eV and a broadband emission centered at 660 nm. Through introducing modicum lead (1%) into the CsMnCl3 NCs, the photoluminescence intensity greatly improves, and the quantum yield (PLQY) increases from 0.7% to 21%. Furthermore, the CsMnCl3 :1%Pb NCs feature high-efficiency of X-ray absorption and radioluminescence, which make these NCs promising candidates for X-ray imaging.

Abstract
The lead-free copper-based halide perovskite Cs3Cu2I5 is a promising material that can overcome the toxicity and instability of lead-based halide perovskites, thereby affording remarkable performance in the field of optoelectronics. Cs3Cu2I5 perovskite exhibits blue emission with a very high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). First-principles calculations were used herein to theoretically expound the origins of the high PLQY of Cs3Cu2I5: (i) the low symmetry of Cs3Cu2I5 breaks the forbidden transition and enables the transition process; (ii) the large transition matrix and high transition rate increase the probability for radiative recombination of Cs3Cu2I5; (iii) the good defect tolerance broadens the path for thermal relaxation and radiative recombination. The high transition rate and good defect tolerance account for the high-efficiency PLQY of the lead-free copper-based perovskite, Cs3Cu2I5.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites hold promise for stable and environmentally benign solar cells; however, they exhibit low efficiencies because defects act as charge recombination centers. Identifying trap-assisted loss mechanisms and developing defect passivation strategies constitute an urgent goal. Applying unsupervised machine learning to density functional theory and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, we demonstrate that negatively charged Br vacancies in Cs2AgBiBr6 create deep hole traps through charge redistribution between the adjacent Ag and Bi atoms. Vacancy electrons are first accepted by Bi and then shared with Ag, as the trap transforms from shallow to deep. Subsequent charge losses are promoted by Ag and Bi motions perpendicular to rather than along the Ag-Bi axis, as can be expected. In contrast, charge recombination in pristine Cs2AgBiBr6 correlates most with displacements of Cs atoms and Br-Br-Br angles. Doping with In to replace Ag at the vacancy maintains the electrons at Bi and keeps the trap shallow.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are recognized as emerging emissive materials with superior photoluminescence (PL) properties. However, the toxicity of lead and the swift chemical decomposition under atmospheric moisture severely hinder their commercialization process. Herein, we report the first colloidal synthesis of lead-free Cs4CuIn2Cl12 layered double perovskite NCs via a facile moisture-assisted hot-injection method stemming from relatively nontoxic precursors. Although moisture is typically detrimental to NC synthesis, we demonstrate that the presence of water molecules in Cs4CuIn2Cl12 synthesis enhances the PL quantum yield (mainly in the near-UV range), induces a morphological transformation from 3D nanocubes to 2D nanoplatelets, and converts the dark transitions to radiative transitions for the observed self-trapped exciton relaxation. This work paves the way for further studies on the moisture-assisted synthesis of novel lead-free halide perovskite NCs for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Impurity doping is a promising method to impart new properties to various materials. Due to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties, rare-earth ions have been extensively explored as active dopants in inorganic crystal lattices since the 18th century. Rare-earth doping can alter the crystallographic phase, morphology, and size, leading to tunable optical responses of doped nanomaterials. Moreover, rare-earth doping can control the ultimate electronic and catalytic performance of doped nanomaterials in a tunable and scalable manner, enabling significant improvements in energy harvesting and conversion. A better understanding of the critical role of rare-earth doping is a prerequisite for the development of an extensive repertoire of functional nanomaterials for practical applications. In this review, we highlight recent advances in rare-earth doping in inorganic nanomaterials and the associated applications in many fields. This review covers the key criteria for rare-earth doping, including basic electronic structures, lattice environments, and doping strategies, as well as fundamental design principles that enhance the electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties of the material. We also discuss future research directions and challenges in controlling rare-earth doping for new applications.

Abstract
Self-trapping of excitons (STE) and concomitant useful broadband emission in low-dimensional metal halides occur due to strong electron–phonon coupling, which exhibit potential applications in optoelectronics and solid-state lighting. Lattice softness and high anharmonicity in the low-dimensional structure can lead to transient structural distortion upon photoexcitation that should promote the spatial localization or trapping of charge carriers, which is essential for STE. Herein, we report the ligand-assisted reprecipitation synthesis of ultrathin (∼3.5 nm) two-dimensional (2D) metal halide, RbPb2Br5 nanoplates (NPLs), which demonstrate highly Stokes shifted and broadband emission covering most parts of the visible to near IR range (500–850 nm) with a long-lived photoluminescence (PL) lifetime. The excitation wavelength independent emission and emission wavelength independent excitation spectra along with the analogous PL decay kinetics of bulk and NPLs suggest the intrinsic nature of broadband emission. The experimental low sound velocity (∼1090 m s−1) and associated low bulk and shear moduli (10.10 and 5.51 GPa, respectively) indicate the large anharmonicity and significantly soft lattice structure, which trigger the broadband STE emission in 2D NPLs of RbPb2Br5. Strong electron-longitudinal optical (LO) phonon coupling results in broadband STE emission in 2D RbPb2Br5 NPLs. The presence of large anharmonicity and lattice softness in low dimensional metal halide, RbPb2Br5 nanoplates, trigger strong electron–phonon coupling and consequently highly Stokes shifted broadband emission originates from self-trapped excitons.![]()

Abstract
Since the inception of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites of ABX3 stoichiometry in 2009, there has been enormous progress in envisaging efficient solar cell materials throughout the world, from both the theoretical and experimental perspectives. Despite achieving 25.5% efficiency, hybrid halide perovskites are still facing two main challenges: toxicity due to the presence of lead and device stability. Two particular families with A3B2X9 and A2MM'X6 stoichiometries have emerged to address these two prime concerns, which have restrained the advancement of solar energy harvesting. Several investigations, both experimental and theoretical, are being conducted to explore the holy-grail materials, which could be optimum for not only efficient but also stable and nontoxic photovoltaics technology. However, the trade-off among stability, efficiency, and toxicity in such solar energy materials is yet to be completely resolved, which requires a systematic overview of A3B2X9- and A2MM'X6-based solar cell materials. Therefore, in this timely and relevant perspective, we have focused on these two particular promising families of perovskite materials. We have portrayed a roadmap projecting the recent advancements from both theoretical and experimental perspectives for these two exciting and promising solar energy material families while amalgamating our critical viewpoint with a future outlook.

Abstract
Recently, the newly-emerging lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted intensive research interest for lighting and display applications owing to their remarkable optoelectronic properties. It is regrettable that the toxicity and instability of lead largely hinder their practical applications. Here, zero-dimensional (0D) cesium indium halide (Cs3InX6) QDs were synthesized for the first time using a modified ligand-assisted reprecipitation method, and the emission wavelength can be tuned facilely via an anion exchange reaction. Typically, the Cs3InBr6 QDs showed broadband blue emission with a high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 46%. First-principles calculations were performed and temperature-dependent PL was studied to investigate the emission mechanisms of the Cs3InBr6 QDs; the 0D nature of Cs3InBr6 enhances the localization of excitons, resulting in a large exciton binding energy. It is worth noting that the strong electron-phonon coupling of Cs3InBr6 indicates that the broadband emission comes from self-trapped exciton emission. Moreover, the Cs3InX6 QDs exhibit excellent stability against moisture, ultraviolet light and heat degradation, significantly better than for conventional lead halide perovskites. Subsequently, the white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) prepared using blue-emissive Cs3InBr6 QD powder used as the phosphor showed an excellent working stability with a record half-life (T50) of 186 h. Even if the operating temperature is as high as 106.9 °C, the LED can still operate well and reach a T50 of 50 h. These results highlight the huge advantages and application potential of 0D Cs3InX6 QDs as an environmentally friendly emitter in the field of solid-state lighting.

Abstract
All-inorganic and lead-free CsSnI3 is emerging as one of the most promising candidates for near-infrared perovskite light-emitting diodes (NIR Pero-LEDs), which find practical applications including facial recognition, biomedical apparatus, night vision camera, and Light Fidelity. However, in the CsSnI3 -based Pero-LEDs, the holes injection is significantly higher than that of electrons, resulting in unbalanced charge injection, undesired exciton dissipation, and poor device performance. Herein, it is proposed to manage charge injection and recombination behavior by tuning the interface area of perovskite and charge-transporter. A dendritic CsSnI3 structure is prepared on the hole-transporter, only making a bottom contact with the hole-transporter and exposing all other available crystal surfaces to the electron-transporter. In other words, the interface area of perovskite/electron-transporter is significantly higher than that of perovskite/hole-transporter. Moreover, the embedding interface of perovskite/electron-transporter can spatially confine holes and electrons, increasing the radiation recombination. By taking advantage of the dendritic structure, efficient lead-free NIR Pero-LEDs are achieved with a record external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 5.4%. More importantly, the dendritic structure shows great superiorities in flexible devices, for there is almost no morphology change after 2000-cycles of bends, and the fabricated Pero-LEDs can keep 93.4% of initial EQEs after 50-cycles of bends.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites, A2 M+ M'3+ X6 , are considered as promising alternatives to lead-halide perovskites, in optoelectronics applications. Although iodide (I) and bromide (Br) mixing is a versatile tool for bandgap tuning in lead perovskites, similar mixed I/Br double perovskite films have not been reported in double perovskites, which may be due to the large activation energy for ion migration. In this work, mixed Br/I double perovskites were realized utilizing an anion exchange method starting from Cs2 AgBiBr6 solid thin-films with large grain-size. The optical and structural properties were studied experimentally and theoretically. Importantly, the halide exchange mechanism was investigated. Hydroiodic acid was the key factor to facilitate the halide exchange reaction, through a dissolution-recrystallization process. In addition, the common organic iodide salts could successfully perform halide-exchange while retaining high mixed-halide phase stability and strong light absorption capability.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have been noted for their exotic properties such as fast ion migration, tunable composition, facile synthetic routes, and flexibility in addition to large light absorption coefficients, long carrier diffusion lengths, and high defect tolerance. These properties have made halide perovskites promising materials for memristors. Applications in the field of resistive switching memory devices and artificial synapses for neuromorphic computing are especially noteworthy. This Perspective covers state-of-the-art perovskite-based memristive devices. Moreover, the fundamental mechanisms and characteristics of perovskite-based memristors are elucidated. Interesting opportunities to improve the performance of perovskite-based memristors for commercialization are provided, including improving film uniformity and air stability, controlling the stoichiometry, finding new all-inorganic and lead-free halide perovskites, and making perovskites into single crystals or quantum dots. We expect our Perspective to be the foundation of realizing next-generation halide perovskite-based memristors.

Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and Auger recombination in quantum dots (QDs)-molecules system are important mechanisms for affecting performance of their optoelectronic and photosynthesis devices. However, exploring an effective strategy to promote FRET and suppress Auger recombination simultaneously remains a daunting challenge. Here, we report that FRET process is promoted and Auger recombination process is suppressed in CdTe/CdS QDs-Rhodamine101 (Rh101) molecules system upon compression. The greatly improved FRET is attributed to the shortened donor-acceptor distance and increased the number of molecules attached to QDs induced by pressure. The reduced Auger recombination is ascribed to the formation of an alloy layer at the core/shell interface. The FRET can occur 70 times faster than Auger recombination under a high pressure of 0.9 GPa. Our findings demonstrate that high pressure is a robust tool to boost FRET and simultaneously suppress Auger recombination, and provides a new route to QDs-molecules applications.

Abstract
The lead-free double perovskite has been proven to be one of the promising alternatives to solve the stability and toxicity problems of lead-based organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells. Here, high-quality Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite films with large grains and smooth surface have been prepared through a sequential-vapor-deposition method, and a low-cost and eco-friendly Cu2O film with a suitable energy level and good electrical properties was prepared as an efficient hole transport layer by vacuum vapor deposition for the first time. The Cu2O-based devices achieve a champion power conversion efficiency increasing from 1.03 to 1.52% and an enhancement of photovoltage from 1.083 to 1.198 V compared with their organic counterparts. More importantly, the Cu2O-based devices have excellent stability; they maintained the initial 96% efficiency under environmental conditions after 33 days of unpackaged storage. These results also point out the direction for the further development of these new promising perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
State-of-the-art photodetectors which apply hybrid perovskite materials have emerged as powerful candidates for next-generation light sensing. Among them, lead-based ones are the most popular beyond doubt on account of their unique and superior optoelectronic properties. Nevertheless, trade-off toward commercialization exists between nontoxicity and high performance, with the poor stability of lead-based perovskites, indicating that it is indispensable to substitute lead with nontoxic element meanwhile bringing about a comparable figure of merit of photodetectors and relatively long-term stability. Herein, recent advances in lead-free perovskite photodetectors are reviewed, analyzing the principle while designing new materials and highlighting some remarkable progress, which are comparable, even superior, to lead-based photodetectors. Furthermore, their potential strategy in optical communication, image sensing, narrowband photodetection, etc., is examined and a perspective on developing new materials and photodetectors with superior properties for more practical applications is provided.
