In the last decade, metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have rapidly emerged as one of the most interesting classes of materials, with strong light-matter interactions, tunable luminescence over the entire visible spectrum and large electron-hole diffusion lengths, which have proven extremely useful in a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines. The subsequent development of material preparation using low-temperature solution-based strategies has allowed the same material to be obtained as nanocrystals (NCs) with high control over size and shape and further increase their optical properties tunability via dimensional confinement. Also importantly, this novel material preparation approach further extended LHPs applicability thanks to the possibility of processing directly from solution to realize functional thin films, nanocomposites or simple solution-based devices. In their NCs form, LHP have been widely applied as efficient emitters in artificial light sources, overcoming the limits of resolution and color purity of single crystals, or as high-Z materials efficiently interacting with ionizing radiation for scintillators, showing performances comparable or even higher than their large macroscopic crystal counterparts. In this talk, I will focus on our recently developed strategies for engineering LHP-NCs for different application: from high-power direct and down-converting light emitting devices (LEDs) to potential biomedical applications. I will present the different approaches that have been adopted to specifically tune the spectroscopical, chemical and physical properties of LHP NCs for these application, pursued via chemical modification (compositional tuning, post-synthesis surface treatments) of physical confinement (encapsulation into mesoporous silica nanoparticles).
