Improving Stability and Colloidal Dispersity of CsPbBr₃@SiO₂ Nanoparticles Based on In-Situ Synthesis in Entropy Ligands Functionalized SiO₂ Nanoreactor

Abstract

Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have witnessed unprecedented development in optoelectronic fields over the past few years. However, their intrinsic ionic structural instability still dramatically hinders their practical applications. Reliably improving the stability of PNCs while retaining their colloidal dispersity remains a grand challenge. Herein, we report a new strategy whereby CsPbBr3 nanoparticles are grown in situ in an entropy ligand-functionalized SiO2 nanoreactor. Consequently, the as-obtained CsPbBr3@SiO2 NPs show outstanding stability and colloidal dispersity in various non-polar solvents and have good solution processability, which are unattainable by conventional template-assisted methods.
