Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.

ABSTRACT
Perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have become leading candidates for solution-processed optoelectronics applications. While substantial work has been published on 3-D perovskite phases, the NC form of zero-dimensional (0-D) phase of this promising class of materials remains elusive. Here, we report the synthesis of a new class of colloidal semiconductors NCs based on Cs4PbBr6 - the zero-dimensional perovskite- enabled through the design of a novel lowtemperature reverse microemulsion method with 85% reaction yield. These 0-D perovskite NCs exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in the form of colloidal form (PLQY: 65%), and, more importantly, in the form of thin film (PLQY: 54%). Notably, the latter is amongst the highest values reported so far for perovskite NCs in solid form. Our work brings the zero-dimensional phase of perovskite into the realm of colloidal NCs with appealingly high PLQY in film form, which paves the way for their practical application in real devices.

All-inorganic perovskite (CsnPbX2+n) NCs are the current subject of extensive exploration in optoelectronic materials due to their versatile photoluminescence properties, such as high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, >80%) in solution, tunable bandgap, and narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM,
