Slow Anion-Exchange Reaction of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals in Supramolecular Gel Networks.

ABSTRACT: Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are widely studied as among the most attractive emissive nanomaterials because of their high photoluminescence quantum yield and tunable emission wavelengths over the whole visible-light region by the halide ion-exchange reaction. However, the reactions were often observed in solution and generally very fast, which interferes with the fine-tuning capability of the emission properties. Here, we report a novel nanocrystal-organogel hybrid soft material in which the perovskite nanocrystals in a supramolecular gel exhibit extremely slow and inhomogeneous anion-exchange reactions that are different from those in solution. Furthermore, the inhomogeneous emission in the gel became homogeneous over several days due to a slow diffusion.
