“…Colloidal nanocrystals are ligand-capped tiny particles with at least one of their dimensions in the range of 1–100 nm and are constituted of hundreds to thousands of atoms. − Because of their extremely small size, they exhibit a high surface-to-volume ratio; thus, the surfaces play a vital role in their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. ,− Importantly, materials at the nanoscale exhibit unique size-dependent properties that can be harnessed for a variety of applications. ,,, Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most important classes of materials that exhibit size and shape-dependent optical properties. , Over the last few decades, colloidal semiconductor QDs with the compositions of II–VI and III–V groups have been greatly investigated regarding their synthesis and optoelectronic applications. ,, The emission color of QDs is precisely tunable across the visible spectrum of light by their size without changing the composition. ,− However, these classical QDs require an epitaxially coated wide-bandgap inorganic shell that passivates the surface traps to achieve high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY), while the organically passivated QDs exhibit low PLQY because of surface-related trap states. Over the last 7–8 years, the research focus has been partially shifted to the newly emerged colloidal lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) because of their remarkable optical and optoelectronic properties, such as near-unity PLQY, narrow emission line widths, tunable emission color by halide composition and by accessing quantum confinement effects, suppressed blinking, and defect tolerant nature. ,− Unlike classical core–shell QDs, organic ligand-capped colloidal halide (Br and I) perovskite NCs without an inorganic shell exhibit extremely high PLQY because of their defect-tolerant nature. , These interesting properties confer them a multitude of applications, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), near-eye displays for augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR), single-photon emission, photodetectors, lasers, and photovoltaics. ,,− …”
