An improved ligand-assisted reprecipitation method to synthesize aqueous-phase CsPbBr₃ perovskite nanocrystals and investigate their electrochemiluminescence behavior

We propose a novel ligand-assisted reprecipitation method to synthesize aqueous-phase CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, the fluorescence intensity of which remained at 51% after 120 h. As a multifunctional additive, cesium trifluoroacetate (Cs-TFA) can improve the surface adsorption energy and induce nanocrystals to show significant anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and stable cathodic ECL performances.
