ABSTRACT: Lead halide perovskites have attracted tremendous research interests in the light-emitting society owing to their high defect-tolerance, solution-processability, tunable spectrum and efficient emission. In terms of luminescence types, both the narrowband emission derived from free-exciton and broadband white light emission from self-trapped exciton (STE) show great advantages in the light-emitting applications. Despite the fascinating characteristics, their commercialization still suffers from the presence of toxic lead (Pb) and unsatisfactory stability. In this spotlight, we mainly focus on the lead-free candidates as phosphors for possible light-emitting applications. Thanks to the chemical diversity of metal halide perovskites and perovskite variants, many excellent lead-free light-emitting materials have recently been synthesized and characterized. We firstly classify these materials into three types according to material structures, including 1) double perovskites A2B(I)B(III)X6, 2) vacancy ordered perovskites A2B(IV)X6, 3) miscellaneous perovskite variants or halide semiconductors, which refer to halides without clear relation to the perovskite structure. Then we highlight the importance of electronic dimensionality, defects passivation and impurity doping in developing highly efficient perovskite-based emitters. We also discuss their applications in white light emitting diodes (W-LED). Further challenges towards practical

INTRODUCTION Since lighting and displays consume over 20% of worldwide electric energy every year, energy efficiency is essential in the field of illumination1. Phosphorconverted light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have attracted substantial attention in industry and academia because of their low power consumption, superior luminous efficacy, environmental friendliness, long duration and highly tunable optical properties2-5. The rare-earth based phosphors in combination with the blue-to-violet InGaN/GaN chip have become mainstream6, 7. However, the rareearth elements also face many problems, such as supply shortage and recycle difficulty8. As possible alternatives, organic phosphors may undergo photobleaching at a relatively high temperature9, and metal nanoclusters (NCs) suffer from the complicated synthesis process10. Thus, it is of great interest to explore new phosphor materials excited by blue-to-violet InGaN/GaN chip. Recently, metal halide perovskites have gained great research interest in the lightemitting society due to their high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), highly tunable emission across the entire visible spectrum and low-cost solution 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

processability11-15. Specifically, Zhou et al. demonstrated the in situ fabrication of MAPbX3 (X= Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) embedded polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films with tunable emission range from 440 nm to 730 nm, and these films also exhibited high PLQY (about 94.6%) as well as excellent stability against ultraviolet light and moisture, showing great potential in lighting and displays applications12. Besides the narrowband emission in halide perovskites, Karunadasa and coworkers firstly observed intrinsic, broadband white-light emission from layered lead halide perovskites, originating from exciton self-trapping16-20. A single material with broadband white emission covering the entire visible spectrum is ideal for lighting application, because it can avoid the self-absorption and color instability problems in mixed and multiple emitters21-23. Despite the rapid advances of lead halide perovskites in light-emitting applications, the commercialization of these emerging technologies still suffer from two formidable issues, the inclusion of toxic lead and unsatisfactory stability24-26. Since lead halide perovskites are highly soluble in water and lead poisoning is recognized as a major public health risk, lead substitution is of great significance if their outstanding performance could be retained. Thanks to the rich structures and elements of perovskite family, various lead-free halide perovskites with extraordinary optical properties have been developed and characterized in recent years. Bi(III)-, Sb(III)-, In(III)-, Cu(I)-, Cu(II)-, Sn(IV)-,

Sn(II)- and Mn(II)- based lead-free perovskites or perovskite variants show efficient emission27-43 (Table 1), which are comparable with Pb-based perovskites or even better in some aspects. These encouraging results will inspire more excellent work in the field of lead-free light-emitting perovskites. Meanwhile, electronic dimensionality, defects passivation and impurity doping are recognized as essential factors in achieving efficient perovskite light emitters. Firstly, Xiao et al. theoretically introduced the concept of electronic dimensionality to better explain the optoelectronic properties compared to the structural dimensionality44. The three-dimensional electronic network may give rise to large band dispersion, enabling excitons to dissociate readily without radiative recombination, thus materials with low electronic dimensionality are generally expected to own relatively high PLQY26. As an example, Zhou et al. reported single crystalline bulk assemblies of 0D structured materials as hostguest systems, and the light emitting species were periodically embedded in a host

Wang et al. theoretically evaluated the STEs formation and found out that the low electronic dimensionality was generally required for STEs formation45. Secondly, defects states, especially the deep defects states, can serve as recombination centers and cause PL loss. Defects passivation is

thus an effective way to improve the PLQY. Elements doping or alloying is widely used for defects passivation in halide perovskite materials46. As an example, Stranks et al. reported a potassium passivated halide perovskite films with external photoluminescence quantum yields of 66%, which translated to the internal yields of over 95%47. Lastly, it is of great interest to introduce new emission states in perovskites by doping or alloying. Parobek et al. and coworkers reported the one-pot synthesis of Mn doped CsPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals and realized strong luminescence from Mn2+ ions48. Benefitting from the efficient quantum cutting emission process, Zhou et al. realized a 146% internal luminescent quantum yield by doping cerium and ytterbium into CsPbBr1.5Cl1.5 quantum dots (QDs)49. These works highlighted the impurity doping as an effective way to adjust the optoelectronic properties and develop new functions for halide perovskites. In this review, we firstly classify the lead-free halide perovskite light emitting materials into three types according to their structures (Fig. 1), and we highlight the importance of low electronic dimensionality, defects passivation and impurity doping in developing highly efficient perovskite-based emitters. We then discuss their applications in white light emitting diodes, and last, we comment on the challenges towards practical applications for these halide perovskites.

Double perovskites, which were initially called “elpasolites” structure, recently demonstrated as a promising alternative to lead halide perovskites. The representative crystal structure of double perovskite is shown in Fig. 1a, indicating a facet-centered cubic structure with space group Fm3m, and their three-dimensional structure is maintained while Pb2+ is replaced by less toxic monovalent and trivalent cations. Since the report of Cs2AgBiX6 (X=Cl, Br) in 201650, 52, tremendous progress has been achieved in synthesizing new leadfree halide double perovskites and theoretical understanding of their optoelectronic properties44, 53-60. For example, Xiao et al. pointed out halide double perovskites generally exhibited larger carrier effective mass and lower carrier mobility compared to that of Pb based perovskites44. Taking Cs2AgBiBr6 for example, theoretical calculations revealed the VBM was mainly derived from Ag 4d-Br 5p antibonding states while the CBM was mainly derived from Bi 6p-Br 4p bonding states. Thus, the wave function of holes and electrons were confined at [AgBr6] and [BiBr6] octahedra respectively, which explain the low carrier mobility and larger carrier effective mass. This work highlight the electronic dimensionality rather than structural dimensionality determines the optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites.

Double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 with relatively low electronic dimensionality was recently proposed as a promising material emitting warmwhite light considering its broad spectrum (400- 800 nm) and its all-inorganic nature35, 36. Similar with Cs2AgBiBr6, the VBM was mainly derived from Ag 4dCl 3p orbitals whereas the CBM was mainly derived from delocalized In 5s states, indicating the wave function of holes was strongly confined at [AgCl6] octahedral. As mentioned by Wang et al.45, strong exciton-phonon coupling and low electronic dimensionality were beneficial for the formation of STEs, and STE emission is responsible for the broad spectrum of Cs2AgInCl6. After excitation, holes was quickly trapped at [AgCl6] octahedra and change the electronic configuration of silver from 4d10 to 4d9, causing a strong Jahn-Teller distortion of AgCl6 octahedron. In the self-trapping process of STEs, the selftrapping energy Est and lattice deformation energy Ed were the corresponding energy differences between ground-state and excited-state. Thereby, the emission energy could be calculated to be EPL=Eg-Eb-Est-Ed (Eb is the lowest exction binding energy) (Fig. 2b), which was the origin of the large stokesshift. Furthermore, the electronic dimensionality of Cs2AgInCl6 can be tuned by engineering chemical compositions. Na cation with a similar ionic radius but a distinctively different electronic configuration to Ag was incorporated into the Cs2AgInCl6 lattice. The effect of Na incorporation was twofold. Firstly,

introducing Na breaks the inversion symmetry of the Cs2AgInCl6 lattice, resulting in change of the parity of the electron wave function and enabling radiative recombination (Fig. 2c). Secondly, although the hole wave function of the STE in Cs2AgInCl6 was localized, the electron wave function was rather spread, leading to the small overlap between hole wave function and electron wave function. Since Na cations contributed to neither conduction band minimum (CBM) nor valence band maximum (VBM) of the alloy, they served as quantum wells to confine the spatial distribution of the STE, especially the electron wave function, enhancing radiative recombination (Fig. 2d). Besides, trace Bi3+ was further introduced to passivate defects and depresses non-radiative recombination loss. Meanwhile, Bi doping could introduce a shallow state and promote exciton localization, similar with the STE emission from I-doped AgBr61. The optimal sample reached an impressive PLQY of about 86% for the white emission. The STE emission mechanism was further experimentally confirmed via transient absorption spectrum (Fig. 2e). A broadband photo-induced absorption at energies across the visible spectrum was observed, indicating the formation of STE states upon excitation. The exciton self-trapping time is estimated to be about 500 fs, which was close to the calculated results based on the phonon energy (τ= 2π/ Ω, Ω is phonon energy). Further evidence was provided by excitation power dependent emission intensity, and the linear relationship instead of saturation at high excitation power ruled out the defects emission.

For lighting application, Cs2Ag0.60Na0.40InCl6 powder not only enjoyed a high overlap with the sensitivity of the human eye to optical wavelengths (luminosity function) (Fig. 3a) but also exhibited a high stability against heat and UV irradiation (Fig. 3b-c). The strongly bound excitons and nearly defectfree lattice prevent photoluminescence quenching of Cs2Ag0.60Na0.40InCl6. The as-prepared W-LED based on the commercial LED chip showed the commission international de L’Eclarage (CIE) coordinates of (0.396, 0.448) with a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4054 K. It can be seen that double perovskites offer an ideal platform for elements substitutions. McQueen et al. also designed indirect-to-direct bandgap transitions in Cs2Ag(In,Sb)Cl6 double perovskite54. Upon substitution of In by Sb, the character of conduction band minimum change from s-orbital derivation to p-orbital derivation, indicating the lone-pair effects play a crucial role in material designing. In parallel, double perovskite nanocrystals were also synthesized and characterized. The synthetic methods are similar with those used in the lead halide system62. The pure Cs2AgInCl6 NCs exhibited a broad white PL spectrum with PLQY of 1.6% while the Mn(II) ions doped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs demonstrated a typical broad orange PL emission (λem = 620 nm) from Mn(II) and PLQY of 16±4%63. Lee et al. further incorporated rare earth element ytterbium (Yb) into Cs2AgInCl6 NCs and observed infrared emission originated 14 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

from the f-f transition64. Yang et al. also reported Cs2AgInxBi1-xCl6 NCs with the highest PLQY of 36.6% at 10% Bi content65. These findings further expand chemical diversity and functionality of lead-free double perovskites. Vacancy ordered A2B(IV)X6 Sn(II) and Ge(II) are the most obvious candidates for Pb replacement due to the same valence and similar electronic configuration. However, Sn(II) and Ge(II) tend to be oxidized because of the high-lying ns2 states, resulting in high defects density. Meanwhile, B(IV) based perovskite variants (A2B(IV)X6) exhibit much higher stability due to the B element with stable +4 oxidation state66. The crystal structure of A2B(IV)X6 is derived from traditional perovskites structure by removing half of the octahedral B(IV) atoms (Fig. 1b). The [BX6]2- octahedra are isolated by the Cs+ cations (Fig. 1b), which may provide a quantum confinement and enhance the photoluminescence.

emission. The Bi3+ replaced Sn4+ heterovalently to preserve the Cs2SnCl6 crystal structure. With the careful optimization of Bi3+ ratio, Cs2SnCl6: 2.75%Bi exhibited strong deep blue emission with 78.9% PLQY upon 365 nm UV light excitation (Fig. 4a), and the emission spectra of the Cs2SnCl6: Bi showed a peak around 454 nm with a wide FWHM of 66 nm and a large Stokes shift of 90 nm. The negligible shift of wavelength dependent PLE and PL spectra and wide excitation plateaus both indicated the light emission mechanisms should not be Bi3+ ionoluminescence. A more plausible explanation was given by the theoretical calculations, and the [BiSn+VCl] defect complex is proposed as the luminescent center. Stability against moisture was evaluated by immersing Cs2SnCl6: Bi samples in deionized water. The PL intensity maintained 97.1% of the initial value after 120 mins soaking due to the formation of BiOCl on the surface of Cs2SnCl6: Bi. In a real W-LED device, Cs2SnCl6:2.75% Bi and commercial yellow phosphor Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG) were mixed with curable resin, and the as-prepared resin was coated onto a 365 nm wavelength UV chip. The W-LED exhibited a CIE coordinate of (0.36, 0.37) with a correlated color temperature of 4486 K (Fig. 4b), demonstrating its potential applications for lighting. Similar phenomenon was also observed in Sb3+ doped Cs2SnCl6 (Fig. 4c), a broadband orange-red phosphor was obtained with ~37% PLQY at 0.59% Sb doping concentration45. The Cs2SnCl6:0.59%Sb, Cs2SnCl6:2.75%Bi and Ba2Sr2SiO4:Eu2+ based W-LED exhibited a CIE coordinate of (0.30, 0.37) and the color rendering index (CRI) of 81 (Fig. 4d). 17 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Perovskite variants As pointed out by Breternitz et al.67, a material must obey three major points to be called a perovskite: (1) the molar ratio of A: B: X should be 1: 1: 3; (2) the B-cation coordination is octahedral or distorted octahedral; (3) the [BX6] octahedra is organized in an all-corner sharing 3D network. Bi based Cs3Bi(III)2X9 (Fig. 1c) and Cu based Cs2Cu(I)I5 (Fig. 1d) are not strictly perovskite materials according to this standard. Thereby, perovskite variants or halide semiconductors here refer to halides without clear relation to the perovskite structure. Perovskite variants or halide semiconductors are recently a hot topic in the research society. Bi(III)-, In(III)-, Cu(I)-, Sb(III)-, Sn(IV)-, Sn(II)- and Mn(II)based perovskite variants have recently been reported with excellent optical properties. Here, we focus on a few of them as examples. First of all, Bi3+ and Sb3+ based perovskite variants are recognized as one of the most promising candidates among lead free perovskites and perovskite variants due to the similar ns2 electronic configuration with Pb. From the structure point of view, the A3B(III)2X9 crystal structure is derived from traditional perovskites structure by removing every third B(III) layer along to achieve charge balance (Fig. 1c). The removed B(III) layer can be viewed as vacancy, and the resulting structures are two-dimensional layered perovskite variants with trigonal P3m1 symmetry29. It is noted that the symmetry may be 18 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

changed with the different A and X sites, for example, Cs3Bi2I9 and Cs3Bi2Br9 show the trigonal P3m1 symmetry while Rb3Bi2I9 and Cs3Bi2Cl9 shows the monoclinic P21/n symmetry32,68. These structures both exhibit a lower electronic dimensionality compared to three-dimensional cubic perovskite structure, probably resulting in strong phonon-electron coupling, which will be discussed later.

LARP) method69. With the optimization of precursor solution concertation, MA/Bi molar ratio and reaction temperature, the optimal MA3Bi2Br9 QDs exhibited a PLQY of 12%. Since one of the main origins for PLQY loss is associated with dangling bonds on QD surface, surface passivation was regarded as important approach to remove the dangling bonds and improve photoluminescence. Benefiting from the distinct crystal structure of MA3Bi2Br9 and MA3Bi2Cl9, we continued to optimize the PLQY of MA3Bi2Br9 QDs by an effective Cl- passivation strategy (Fig. 5b). The synthesis of MA3Bi2(Cl, Br)9 QDs followed the same Co-LARP method except for the partially replacing MABr with MACl in the precursor solution. With the optimization of Cl- content, the 33% Cl- content MA3Bi2(Cl, Br)9 QDs exhibited a bright blue emission at wavelength 422 nm with high PLQY of 54.1% (Fig. 5a), which was the maximum among lead free perovskite QDs in the blue- or deep blue-emitting region. The monoexponentially fitted decay with a short lifetime of 2.17 ns was also observed in 33% Cl- passivated sample (Fig. 5d), indicating the perfect passivated surface. Besides, Cl- passivated MA3Bi2Br9 QDs showed a smaller stokes shift and the same emission peak position compared to pure MA3Bi2Br9 QDs, indicating that the Cl- anions mainly located on the surface for the passivation, which could be explained by the incompatible crystal structures between MA3Bi2Br9 and MA3Bi2Cl924.

However, the unsatisfactory water stability of MA3Bi2(Cl, Br)9 QDs may restrict their practical application. All-inorganic perovskites generally exhibited higher thermal stability, less moisture sensitivity compared to hybrid organicinorganic perovskites. Yang et al. firstly reported the synthesis and characterization of Cs3Bi2X9 nanocrystals (NCs)70. The typical ligand-free Cs3Bi2Br9 NCs exhibited blue emission at 468 nm wavelength with low PLQY of 0.2 %, and a sudden increase of PLQY to 4.5% was achieved by adding oleic acid for surface passivation. Recently, our group also reported the synthesis of Cs3Bi2X9 QDs by using ethanol as green antisolvent32. The assynthesized Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs exhibited a blue emission at 410 nm wavelength with a PLQY of 19.4%. According to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results, Cs3Bi2Br9 exhibited a decomposition temperature of 496 ℃, much higher than that of MA3Bi2Br9 (200 ℃) (Fig. 6a). Moreover, the self-passivation of the hydrolysis product BiOBr were observed when the Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs were exposed to moisture (Fig. 6b). Thanks to the excellent stability and robustness of Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs, we simply mixed tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs in deionized water to form QDs-silica gel (Fig. 6c-e), and we further demonstrated a white LED (W-LED) by combining Cs3Bi2Br9 QDssilica gel with commercially available YAG (Fig. 6f). The CIE coordinates of W-LED was measured to be (0.29, 0.30), which was close to the standard white light (0.33, 0.33) (Fig. 6g). This finding indicated that the Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs were promising for lighting applications. 22 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

In parallel, Sb contained perovskite variants Cs3Sb2I9 and Rb3Sb2I9 NCs were also synthesized by Nag et al.71. Followed by this work, Cs3Sb2Br9 NCs with high blue luminescent (PLQY up to 46%) were obtained by Co-LARP method. Such a high PLQY may attribute to the Br-rich surface and high exciton binding energy29. From stability point of view, all-inorganic perovskite variant NCs generally exhibit better stability compared to the organic-inorganic counterpart. On one hand, the decomposition temperature is much higher due to the absence of organic component. On the other hand, all-inorganic perovskite and perovskite NCs can be self-passivated by the hydrolysis product on the surface against moisture. However, these all-inorganic perovskite variant NCs are still not able to survive long-term air exposure, which is still far from meeting the industrial standard. It was noted that A3B(III)2X9 QDs exhibit wider full width at half maximum (FWHM) in photoluminescence spectra and larger stokes shift compared to MAPbX3 QDs, which may undermine their color purity. Similar phenomenon was also observed in bulk A3B(III)2X9 materials. McCall et al. demonstrated that these materials can form self-trapped excitons (STEs) in the excited states68, where excitons are trapped in a state with the assistance of strong electron−phonon coupling. Photoluminescence derived from STE states generally exhibited larger FWHM and more Stokes shift compared to free 23 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

exciton (FE) states. In A3B(III)2X9 QDs, the relatively wide FWHM should also be originated from the strong electron-phonon coupling72, 73.

Cs3Cu2I5 was reported as a nontoxic all-inorganic halide 0D material with efficient broad blue emission (PLQY up to 90%). The crystal structure of Cs3Cu2I5 belonged to the orthorhombic space group of Pnma. As shown in Fig. 1d, 0D photoactive site of [Cu2I5]3- was isolated by the Cs+ ions, indicating low electronic dimensionality. The large stokes shift was observed by the huge difference between PLE and PL peak (λex = 290 nm, λem = 445 nm) (Fig. 7a), which could be explained by the excited-state structural reorganization. After excitation, Cu(I) changed the electronic configuration from 3d10 to 3d9, favoring the Jahn-Teller distortion, similar with Ag in Cs2AgInCl6. The W-LED was demonstrated by mixing Cs3Cu2I5 powder with a yellow phosphor into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix.

Meanwhile, mixed halogen Cs3Cu2Br5−xIx (0 ≤ x ≤ 5) with near-unity PLQY were also reported by Roccanova et al., exhibiting bright blue emission in 456 to 443 nm wavelength range74.

Similarly, Cs2InBr5·H2O exhibited a 0D crystal structure because InBr5O octahedrons were spatially isolated by two Cs+ ions. The PLE and PL peak located at 355 nm and 695 nm, respectively (Fig. 7g). Interestingly, Cs2InBr5·H2O was further demonstrated as PL water sensor.

CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK In summary, we have reviewed the possible lead-free perovskites and perovskite variants for light-emitting applications, and discussed their structure, properties and applications as phosphors. Firstly, replacing Pb with heterovalent nontoxic elements such as Sb, Bi, Sn and Te generally decreases the electronic dimensionality, which may increase the possibility of STE formation, and large stokes shift and broad PL spectra are commonly observed in such lead-free halide perovskites and perovskite variants. Secondly, the electronic dimensionality is crucial in developing efficient phosphors. Synthesizing quantum dots, introducing impurity doping to form host-guest 28 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

system and inserting insulating units (such as [NaCl6] in Cs2AgInCl6) are widely used in controlling the electronic dimensionality for halide perovskites. Thirdly, since defects states, especially the deep defects states, can serve as recombination centers and cause PL loss, the passivation is another important factor in developing efficient phosphors. Benefitting from the diverse chemical range of compositions in A, B, X sites, it is easy to find a suitable element doping or alloying to passivate defect states, as illustrated in Cl- passivated MA3Bi2Br9 QDs and Bi3+ passivated Cs2Ag0.60Na0.40InCl6. Finally, all-inorganic metal halide perovskites and perovskite variants are more desirable in practical applications owing to their higher stability against heat and moisture. It is noted that the formation of self-passivated hydrolysis product, such as BiOBr and BiOCl can significantly increase their stability. Although these results are encouraging, there is still tremendous work to be done. Firstly, the lead-free perovskites and perovskite variants based W-LEDs are still far from industrial requirements76, 77. Especially for indoor illumination applications, W-LEDs are required to provide warm enough CCT (80, ideal >90). Besides, the emission intensity of phosphors is required to maintain almost 90% of their initial value after 10,000 hours’ operation, which can be hardly achieved by perovskites and perovskite variants at current stage. Secondly, the PLQY is the basic criterion for light-emitting applications, however, the majority of lead-free perovskites and perovskite

variants can hardly exceed 80% PLQY. Thirdly, further mechanism understanding and designing principles are still lacking, and we are not able to rationally synthesize new luminescent lead-free perovskites and perovskite variants or freely control their emission spectra. Finally, most of the current work focuses on the photoluminescence LEDs (Table 2), and utilizing these leadfree perovskites and perovskite variants for fabricating electroluminescent devices and tunable lasers remains challenging. Benefitting from the large stokes shift, lead-free perovskites and perovskite variants can be used in the luminescent solar concentrators and X-ray scintillator. Thereby, new breakthroughs in theoretical predictions and preparation technology are still required in the area of lead-free light emitting perovskites and perovskite variants.
