Enhancing the Aqueous Stability of CsPbBr3 by Growth in Nanoscopic Layered Silicates

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Just add water! The propensity of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals to degrade in water can be reduced by encapsulation in a protective matrix. In this study, the synthesis of CsPbBr3 in the interlayer space of layered silicate nanoclays granted improved dispersibility in water and afforded protection from degradation, allowing retention of the ...
