Abstract:
Water- and oxygen-resistant perovskite nanoparticles (PC-PNPs) were synthesized in milliseconds via a single-step microdroplet reaction. It was found through kinetics studies that the synthesis was accomplished within 100 ms in microdroplet reactors, with ejection at ∼1.5 m s-1. Being small-sized, stable, less toxic and biocompatible, PC-PNPs were feasible for cell or in vivo imaging, and selective sensing for Fe3+ and Cys, which will inspire further expanded studies of perovskite materials.

Synthesis and Decomposition Reactions
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.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
Crystal Growth: Principles of Crystallization
Initiating crystallization involves manipulating the concentration of the solute and the temperature of the solution. Since crystal growth occurs when the ratio of concentration and solubility of the solute in the solvent...
