Abstract:
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have demonstrated great potential as appealing candidates for advanced optoelectronic applications. However, the toxicity of lead and the intrinsic instability toward moisture hinder their mass production and commercialization. Herein, to solve such thorny problems, novel lead-free Cs2 AgBiBr6 double perovskite NCs fabricated via a simple hot-injection method are reported, which exhibit impressive stability in moisture, light, and temperature. Such materials are then applied into photocatalytic CO2 reduction, achieving a total electron consumption of 105 µmol g-1 under AM 1.5G illumination for 6 h. This study offers a reliable avenue for Cs2 AgBiBr6 perovskite nanocrystals preparation, which holds a great potential in the further photochemical applications.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
