Halide perovskites as disposable epitaxial templates for the phase-selective synthesis of lead sulfochloride nanocrystals

S. Toso, M. Imran, et al.

This groundbreaking study reveals how CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals can selectively synthesize lead sulfochlorides, such as Pb3S2Cl2 and Pb4S3Cl2. By controlling the process of nucleation and templating, researchers were able to produce phase-pure Pb4S3Cl2 nanocrystals with striking optoelectronic properties. This research was conducted by a team of experts including Stefano Toso and Muhammad Imran.
