Over the last 7-8 years, lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) have emerged as extremely efficient light sources with color-tunable capability by simple chemistry.1 LHP NCs exhibit very high photoluminescence quantum yields regardless of the synthesis conditions and the quality of the precursors owing to their defect tolerance nature (especially the Br and I-based). The light emission of LHP NCs is not only tunable by their dimensions and composition2 but also through self-assembly into ordered architectures.3 The tunability of halide composition has been greatly exploited to tune the optical properties of LHP NCs, while the A-site and B-site cation tunability has been relatively less explored. Recently, our group showed that the A-site cation exchange in LHP NCs is as fast as halide exchange in the presence of excess ligands.4 The ligands act as transporters of cations from one NC to the other. This talk will be focused on the latest results of our group regarding the A-cation tuning and the interesting properties that are observed from the mixed A-cation perovskites in comparison with single A-cation LHP NCs. In addition, some of the latest results on confined self-assembly into chiral architectures emitting chiral light.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
