Insertion of metal cations into hybrid organometallic halide perovskite nanocrystals for enhanced stability: eco-friendly synthesis, lattice strain engineering, and defect chemistry studies.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we developed a facile and environmentally friendly synthesis strategy for large-scale preparation of Cr-doped hybrid organometallic halide perovskite nanocrystals. In the experiment, methylammonium lead bromide, CH₃NH₃PbBr₃, was efficiently doped with Cr³⁺ cations by eco-friendly method at low temperatures to grow crystals via antisolvent-crystallization. The as-synthesized Cr³⁺ cation-doped perovskite nanocrystals displayed ∼45.45% decrease in the (100) phase intensity with an enhanced Bragg angle (2θ) of ∼15.01° compared to ∼14.92° of pristine perovskites while retaining their cubic (221/Pm-cm, ICSD no. 00-069-1350) crystalline phase of pristine perovskites. During synthesis, an eco-friendly solvent
