Luminescent macroporous aerogels of two-dimensional nanocrystals of metal halide perovskites with adjustable semiconducting bandgaps

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Oct 17;60(84):12225-12228. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03511a.

Abstract

In semiconducting aerogels, exciton-photon interactions occur in porous frameworks with solid-gas interfaces. Herein, by freezing and vacuum freeze-drying of cyclohexane dispersions of platelet-shaped nanocrystals of organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites, aerogels with macro-/meso-porosity, tunable luminescence in the visible light range, and photocurrent responses were fabricated.
