CsPbBr 3 and Cs 4 PbBr 6 perovskite powders have been synthesized through a relatively simple low-temperature and low-cost method. Nanocrystalline films have also been deposited from solutions with four different molar compositions of binary salt precursors. Optical absorption, emission and excitation spectra have been performed in the UV-visible spectral range while X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been recorded to characterize the nanocrystal morphology for the different molar compositions. A preferential orientation of crystallites along the (024) crystalline plane has been observed as a function of the different deposition conditions in films growth. All the crystals show an absorption edge around 530 nm; Tauc plots of the absorption returned bandgaps ranging from 2.29 to 2.35 eV characteristic of CsPbBr 3 phase. We attribute the UV absorption band peaked at 324 nm to the fundamental band-to-band transition for Cs 4 PbBr 6 . It was observed that the samples with the most ordered Cs 4 PbBr 6 crystals exhibited the most intense emission of light, with a bright green emission at 520 nm, which are however due to the luminescence of the inclusion of CsPbBr 3 nanoclusters into the Cs 4 PbBr 6 . The latter shows instead an intense UV emission. Differently, the pure CsPbBr 3 powder did not show any intense fluorescent emission. The excitation spectra of the green fluorescent emission in all samples closely resemble the CsPbBr 3 absorption with the peculiar dip around 324 nm as expected from density of state calculations reported in the literature. and B an inorganic one, the perovskite is considered as hybrid organic-inorganic. On the contrary, if A is inorganic (mostly Cs + ) the perovskite is all-inorganic.Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides (HOIMHs) have been extensively investigated for a wide range of applications, such as photovoltaics [2][3][4][5][6][7], light emitting diodes (LED) or lasers [8][9][10][11][12][13], radiation detection [14], and down-converting phosphors [15][16][17]. Interesting carrier transport properties have been observed in Pb-and Sn-based 3D halide perovskites [18,19]. HOIMHs, like MAPbI 3 , have been broadly studied as solar absorber materials in photovoltaic cells [20].Distinct crystalline forms with the general formula A n BX 2+n give rise to an extended perovskite family [21]. They differ in the spatial coordination of the metal-halide octahedra XBr 6 4where the value of n determines the perovskite's structural dimensionality expressing the coordination of octahedra: n = 1 characterizes three-dimensional (3D) perovskites with corner-shared octahedra along every axis, n = 4 identifies zero-dimensional (0D) perovskites with isolated octahedra, as shown in Figure 1a for cesium lead perovskites. Efficient photoluminescence is associated to the intrinsic geometric structures or the different network dimensionalities due to the occurrence of quantum confinement into the isolated octahedra of 0D-crystals [22]. The Frenkel excitons result self-trapped in correspondence of the octahedron center...
