The present disclosure relates to a particle having a core-shell structure, wherein the core comprises a
perovskite compound CsPbX3, and the shell comprises Csn-1PbnX3n+12− and at least one organic
ammonium cation R1R2R3R4N+, wherein n is 1 or 2; R1 is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted
alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted
aryl, optionally substituted arylalkyl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl; R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of —H, optionally substituted
alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted
aryl, optionally substituted arylalkyl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl; and X is a
halide. The present disclosure also relates to a method of passivating a
perovskite compound CsPbX3, the method comprising the step of: adding an organic
ammonium halide R1R2R3R4NY to the CsPbX3 at a
molar ratio of R1R2R3R4NY:CsPbX3 of about 500:1 to about 60000:1 to form a mixture, wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted
alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted
aryl, optionally substituted arylalkyl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl; R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of —H, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted arylalkyl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl; and X and Y are independently a
halide.
