Abstract

Colloidally stable suspensions of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are prepared from high-quality lead halide nanocrystal seeds. Perovskite nanocrystals with different layered crystal structures are reported. These systems are well suited for investigations of the intrinsic photophysics and spectroscopy of organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites.

Keywords: 2D perovskites; lead halide; nanocrystals; perovskite nanocrystals; structure-tuned.
