Abstract:
All-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals are emerging as a new class of semiconductors with outstanding optoelectronic properties and great potential for various applications, such as, lasing, photon detection, photovoltaics, etc. This article provides the effect of solvents on the reprecipitation of CsPbBr3 perovskite at room temperature. The results observed for CsPbBr3 perovskite in various antisolvents showed various cubes (nano- to microsized), self-assembly of nanocubes and nanorods. In addition, all of the various sizes (nano to micro) of cubes and self-assembly of nanocubes and shape-controlled nanorods exhibited band gap tuning at the green light region. The corresponding microscopy (field emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy) images and photoluminescence quantum yield as well as lifetime decay are presented. To the best of our literature knowledge, this is the first report on various solvent-assisted studies on CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals.
