Recent Advances in All-Inorganic Zero-Dimensional Metal Halides

Yang Guo et al. Chempluschem. 2021 Dec.

Abstract

All-inorganic zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides are composed of isolated metal halide polyhedrons bridged by monovalent alkali metal ions. The unique structure gives rise to molecule-like electronic configuration and consequently highly attractive optical properties. In comparison with their three-dimensional (3D) counterparts, the 0D metal halides exhibit characteristic features such as broadband emission and long-term stability. In addition, 0D metal halides can be constructed from a diverse range of metal ions and permit high-level impurity doping, thereby offering great structural designability and spectral tunability. This Review surveys recent advances in 0D metal halides, including crystal preparation, luminescence modulation, and emerging applications.

Keywords: defects; light-emitting devices; metal halides; photophysics; stability.
