Halide perovskite nanocrystals are promising materials for optoelectronic applications. Metal doping provides an avenue to boost their performance further, e.g., by enhancing light emission, or to provide additional functionalities, such as nano-scale magnetism and polarisation control. However, the synthesis of widely size-tuneable nanocrystals with controlled doping levels has been inaccessible using traditional hot injection synthesis, preventing systematic studies on dopant effects device application.

Here, we report a versatile synthesis method for metal-doped perovskite nanocrystals with precise control over size and doping concentration under ambient conditions. Our room temperature approach results in fully size-tuneable isovalent doping of CsPbX3 nanocrystals (X = Br, Cl) with various transition metals M2+ tested (M = Mn, Ni, Zn). This gives for the first time access to small, yet precisely doped quantum dots beyond the weak confinement regime reported so far. It also enables a comparative study of the photophysics across multiple size and dopant regimes, where we show dopant-induced localisation to dominate over quantum confinement effects. This generalisable, facile synthesis method thus provides a toolbox for engineering perovskite nanocrystals toward light-emitting technologies under industrially relevant conditions.
