CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3 rhombic dodecahedra and nanocubes displaying facet-dependent optical properties

Abstract

CsPbBr3 rhombic dodecahedra, octahedra, and nanocubes have been synthesized using typical reagents but by adjusting the amounts of organic capping molecules used and the reaction temperature. Although some Cs4PbBr6 has been identified, its presence was found not to affect optical property examination. With increasing sizes of CsPbBr3 rhombic dodecahedra from 59 to 168 nm, their band gaps decrease gradually. Remarkably, the much larger octahedra and {110}-bound rhombic dodecahedra show more blue-shifted absorption wavelengths than the {100}-bound nanocubes do, demonstrating the presence of optical facet effects. 10 nm CsPbI3 nanocubes were also prepared and anion-exchanged to CsPbBr3 nanocubes. Similarly, CsPbBr3 rhombic dodecahedra were converted to rhombic dodecahedral CsPbI3. For both compositions, the much larger rhombic dodecahedra still display more blue-shifted absorption and emission bands than those of the nanocubes, indicating very large optical band shifts are possible by tuning the crystal morphology or exposed surfaces.
