High-throughput and tunable synthesis of colloidal CsPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals in a heterogeneous system by microwave irradiation

Abstract

By simple microwave irradiation, a high-throughput, single-step, rapid but controllable synthesis of stable colloidal CsPbX₃ perovskite NCs with tunable properties and morphologies (nanocubes, nanorods, nanowires, quadrate nanoplates and hexagonal nanoplates) was achieved. It was employed in a heterogeneous solid–liquid reaction system within minutes without any tedious pre-preparation.
