Blue-emitting metal halide perovskites remain difficult to stabilize because mixed-halide compositions suffer from halide heterogeneity, defect formation, and rapid phase segregation. Here, we report a supramolecular host engineering strategy that stabilizes mixed-halide perovskites using a quaternary ammonium chloride-functionalized cationic β-cyclodextrin (C-βCD). The cyclodextrin host simultaneously functions as a chlorine reservoir, defect passivator, and supramolecular stabilizer, enabling homogeneous halide incorporation and strong host-guest interactions with the Cs4PbBr6-CsPbBr3 heterostructured perovskite surface. This cooperative regulation effectively suppresses halide segregation and non-radiative recombination, yielding tunable blue emission with exceptional color purity and a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 99.9%, among the highest values reported for blue-emitting perovskites. The resulting supramolecular perovskite luminescent membranes further exhibit remarkable stability against water exposure (93.3% of initial PL intensity retained after 626 h) and ambient environmental stress (a PLQY half-life of 27457 h), establishing a new benchmark for environmentally robust blue emitters. Integration of the supramolecular perovskites within porous membranes enables multifunctional operation, including foldable display, white light-emitting diodes, as well as pioneer application of fluorescence detection and visible-light-driven degradation of perfluorinated pollutants. These results highlight supramolecular host-guest chemistry as a powerful molecular strategy for stabilizing mixed-halide perovskites and engineering robust luminescent materials.

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...

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
