Recent progress in photoluminescent (PL) low-dimensional metal-halides has demonstrated that the fully-inorganic, Cs4SnBr6, as well as hybrid organic-inorganic analogues are not only efficient room temperature (RT) emitters, but they are also competitive materials in niche applications such as thermometry and thermography.[1][2] This stems from their highly temperature-sensitive PL lifetimes with thermometric precisions of up to 13 mK.[2]
However, these materials are tin-based and therefore suffer from their tendency to oxidize and form non-luminescent phases. To solve this problem, we demonstrate the fully inorganic zero-dimensional Rb7Sb3Cl16 as an excellent thermometric material with sensitivities on par with that of Cs4SnBr6. Furthermore, we performed density functional theory calculations in combination with substitutional studies utilizing Bi3+ to gain a deeper understanding of the origin of these optical properties in this phase. We attribute the RT PL to edge-shared [Sb2Cl10]4- dimers within this structure and suggest that this structural motif may be an excellent coordination to target for future luminescent pnictogen-halides.

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.
