Abstract
All-inorganic caesium lead-halide perovskite \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) and \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) powders have emerged as attractive optoelectronic materials owing to their stabilities and highly efficient photoluminescence (PL). Herein we report a facile chemical route to prepare highly luminescent monoclinic \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) and tetragonal \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) powders at room temperature. The \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) powders exhibit regular crystal shape and demonstrate polyhedral geometry with an average particle size of 10 \(\upmu \)m. The \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) powders show platelet morphologies and the lateral sizes of the particles are from 5 up to 200 \(\upmu \)m. Both \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) and \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) powders present a narrow emission line-width and PL emission of 528 and 527 nm, respectively. A direct band gap of 2.35 eV and an indirect band gap of 3.01 eV are calculated for \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) and \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) powders, respectively. In addition, the monoclinic \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) can be transformed to tetragonal \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) in the presence of water. The large-scale synthesis of \(\hbox {CsPbBr}_{3}\) and \(\hbox {CsPb}_{2}\hbox {Br}_{5}\) will be advantageous in future applications of optoelectronic devices.
