“…27 Further, Huang et al treated CsPbX 3 nanocrystals with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and observed enhanced stability in water for several months. 28 In general, long chain surface ligands impede efficient charge recombination, 29 favouring the use of shorter ligands. 23 However, it has been observed that changing the length of the aliphatic chains, and changing the base-acid ratio in the reaction medium yields drastic variations in the size, shape, crystal phase and optical properties of the final products, which can assume varied morphologies including spheres, cubes, plates, sheets, rods, and wires.…”
