Stable CsPbBr 3 Nanoclusters Feature a Disk-like Shape and a Distorted Orthorhombic Structure
CsPbBr 3 nanoclusters have been synthesized by several groups and mostly employed as single-source precursors for the synthesis of anisotropic perovskite nanostructures or perovskite-based heterostructures. Yet, a detailed characterization of such clusters is still lacking due to their high instability. In this work, we were able to stabilize CsPbBr 3 nanoclusters by carefully selecting ad hoc ligands (benzoic acid together with oleylamine) to passivate their surface. The clusters have a narrow absorption peak at 400 nm, a band-edge emission peaked at 410 nm at room temperature, and their composition is identified as CsPbBr 2.3 . Synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function measurements indicate that the clusters exhibit a disk-like shape with a thickness smaller than 2 nm and a diameter of 13 nm, and their crystal structure is a highly distorted orthorhombic CsPbBr 3 . Based on small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering analyses, the clusters tend to form a two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal packing with a short-range order and a lamellar packing with a long-range order.
