All-inorganic dual-phase halide perovskite nanorings

In the present work, we report the growth of all-inorganic perovskite nanorings with dual compositional phases of CsPbBr₃ and CsPb₂Br₅ via a facile hot injection process. The self-coiling of CsPbBr₃-CsPb₂Br₅ nanorings is driven by the axial stress generated on the outside surface of the as-synthesized nanobelts, which results from the lattice mismatch during the transformation of CsPbBr₃ to CsPb₂Br₅. The tailored growth of nanorings could be achieved by adjusting the key experimental parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time and stirring speed during the cooling process. The photoluminescence intensity and quantum yield of nanorings are higher than those of CsPbBr₃ nanobelts, accompanied by a narrower full width at half maximum (FWHM), suggesting their high potential for constructing self-assembled optoelectronic nanodevices.
