Emergence of Intrinsic One-Dimensional Excitons in Colloidal Bi13S18I2 Nanocrystals
We present a synthesis method for colloidal nanocrystals exhibiting a one-dimensional Peierls-like distortion in the form of size-tunable colloidal and monodisperse Bi13S18I2 nanorods. The Bi13S18I2 n...

In the vast field of double #perovskites, we took a closer look at Cs2CuSbCl6 #nanocrystals, and found that the reported purple absorption of for these materials comes from Cu doping into Cs3Sb2Cl9!

Cu-Doped Cs3Sb2Cl9 Nanocrystals: Revisiting the Low Bandgap of Cs2CuSbCl6 Double Perovskites
Lead-free halide double perovskite Cs2CuSbCl6 nanocrystals have recently been reported to have a low bandgap of 1.66 eV. In this work, we show that the optical absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction...
