Abstract
Inorganic lead halide perovskite (ILHP) nanocrystals (NCs) show great potential in solid state lighting and next generation display technology due to their excellent optical properties. However, almost all ILHP NCs are still facing the problem of unstable luminescence properties caused by heating and/or UV illumination. Further improving the thermal and photo stability of ILHP NCs has become the most urgent challenge for their practical application. This Perspective review specifically focuses on the thermal and photo stability of ILHP NCs, discusses and analyzes the factors that affect the thermal and photo stability of ILHP NCs from the perspective of surface ligands and structure composition, summarizes the current strategies to improve the thermal and photo stability of ILHP NCs, and presents the key challenges and perspectives on the research for the improvement of thermal and photo stability of ILHP NCs.
