Photoluminescence Sensing of Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals and Their Two-Dimensional Structural Materials

Abstract

In recent years, the development of new efficient, fast, and intuitive materials and methods for photoluminescence (PL) sensing has become a research hotspot in analytical chemistry. Lead halide perovskite (LHP) materials have the characteristics of adjustable PL properties, high PL efficiency, and a variety of synthesis methods. Their PL is also sensitive to the change in specific factors in the environment. Based on these characteristics, LHP has shown good application prospects in the field of optical sensing. The study of the structural dimension, organic composition, or doped ions of LHP is helpful in exploring its sensing potential and proposing new sensing mechanisms, which have important research significance to promote sensing applications. In this review, the PL characteristics and sensing mechanisms, as well as their sensing applications of two- and three dimensional LHP, are discussed and summarized.
