Effect of Carrier Gas Flow Rate on the Morphology and Luminescence Properties of CsPbBr3 Microcrystals

All-inorganic halide perovskites, especially lead perovskite microcrystals, have attracted more and more attention because of their excellent photoelectric properties and chemical stability. Herein, high quality CsPbBr3 microcrystals with three different stable morphologies, namely microplate, frustum of a square pyramid and pyramid, were synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method through altering the flow rate of a carrier gas and were comparatively studied in structure and optical property. The photoluminescence (PL) results showed that the CsPbBr3 microplate has the best luminescence property. The structural characterization results by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray rocking curves (XRC) and Raman revealed that the flow rate of the carrier gas could manipulate the morphology evolution of CsPbBr3 microcrystals and further impact their luminescence properties.
