Studies on the optical stability of CsPbBr3 with different dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D) under thermal environments

The thermal stability of phosphor materials had long been a bottleneck in their commercialization. Nowadays, cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbBr3 has been considered a potential replacement for the next generation of optoelectronic devices due to its excellent optical and electronic properties, however, the devices inevitably generate high temperatures on the surface under prolonged energization conditions in practical applications, which can be fatal to CsPbBr3. Despite the various strategies that have been employed to improve the thermal stability of CsPbBr3, systematic studies of the thermal stability of the basis CsPbBr3 are lacking. In this study, CsPbBr3 with different dimensions (0D quantum dots (QDs), 1D nanowires (NWs), 2D nanoplate (NPs), 3D micron crystals (MCs)) was prepared by traditional high-temperature thermal injection, and a systematic study was carried out on their optical properties and thermal stability. The results revealed that the dimensional change will directly influence the optical properties as well as the thermal stability of CsPbBr3. In particular, 3D CsPbBr3 MCs maintained relatively high thermal stability under high-temperature environments, which will bring interest for the commercialization of next-generation perovskite optoelectronic devices.
