Flexible semiconductor materials, where structural fluctuations and transformation are tolerable and have low impact on electronic properties, focus interest for future applications. Two-dimensional thin layer lead halide perovskites are hailed for their unconventional optoelectronic features  and high degree of compliance. I will  show structural deformation via thin layer buckling in colloidal CsPbBr3 nanobelts adsorbed on carbon substrates. The microstructure of buckled nanobelts is determined using transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. We measured significant decrease in emission from the buckled nanobelt using cathodoluminescence, marking the influence of such mechanical deformations on electronic properties.  By employing plate buckling theory, we approximate adhesion forces between the buckled nanobelt and the substrate, to be  Fadhesion~0.12μN, marking a limit to sustain such deformations. This work highlights detrimental effects of mechanical buckling on electronic properties in halide perovskite nanostructures and points towards the capillary action that should be minimized in fabrication of future devices and heterostructures based on Nano-perovskites.
