“…The use of NCLs as a single-source precursor can avoid the poorly controllable pyrolytic step in which precursors are converted into monomers (typically occurring at high temperatures), thus enabling greater synthetic control . This is particularly relevant in the synthesis of nano-heterostructures (or in general in seeded growth approaches) and of those NC systems in which the reactivity of the available precursors cannot be finely tuned, as in the case of III–V semiconductors (e.g., InP and InAs). , The interest in such compounds has led, in the last decades, to the isolation and characterization of several NCLs of II–VI and III–V semiconductor materials, namely, CdS, ,,, CdSe, ,, CdTe, , ZnS, , ZnSe, , ZnTe, , PbSe, InP, ,, and InAs. ,, Only recently, with the emergence of lead halide perovskites, NCLs of APbBr 3 (A = methylammonium or Cs) materials were discovered. ,,,,, CsPbBr 3 NCLs have been found to form at room temperature in the presence of a high concentration of oleylamine (OLA) and oleic acid (OA), with usually high Pb-to-Cs feed ratios (ranging from 2.5:1 to 6:1). ,, CsPbBr 3 NCLs have been employed as single-source precursors for the synthesis of quantum-confined nanostructures (nanowires, nanoplatelets) and NCs with complex geometries (i.e., CsPbBr 3 hexapods) and heterostructures (i.e., CsPbBr 3 –Pb 4 S 3 Br 2 ) . Instead, conventional metal halide precursors (e.g., Cs-oleate and PbBr 2 or Cs-carbonate, Pb-acetate, and benzoyl bromide) , lead to a fast nucleation and growth of CsPbBr 3 NCs, making it extremely difficult to perform any seeded growth approach or to synthesize heterostructures …”
