Nitrate Ion-Incorporated Stable Perovskite Nanocrystals by a Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Reaction.

ABSTRACT: We have synthesized a new class of organolead halide perovskite nanocrystals by a solvent-free mechanochemical green approach. We have developed a new combination of precursor by incorporating nitrate ions into the MAPbBr3 perovskite core. While the presence of nitrate ion is evidenced by Fourier-transform infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction data shows the formation of perovskite nanocrystals. By altering the precursor composition, the morphology of the nanocrystals changes. Photoluminescence properties of these nanocrystals are preserved. Moreover, the stability of these nanocrystals is monitored for a long time, which shows that the incorporation of nitrate ions into the perovskite nanocrystal core does not have any decremental effect on its stability. Nonetheless, this strategy to synth
