Summary:Two-dimensional CsPbBr 3 nanoplates (NPLs) are highly promising blue emitters due to their precisely tunable emission wavelength by adjusting the thickness. However, synthesizing high-performance deep-blue emissive CsPbBr 3 NPLs with fewer monolayers remains challenging. Here, multifunctional ligands of 2,6-diaminopyridinium hydrobromide (DaPyBr) with multiple coordination sites were designed and synthesized to attenuate the thickness of blue CsPbBr 3 NPLs and suppress surface defects. DaPyBr serving both as a Lewis acid and a Lewis base possesses the dual functions of etching and passivation. It can detach the outer defect layers of CsPbBr 3 NPLs reducing the thickness to 3 monolayers and passivate inner [PbBr 6 ] 4− layers suppressing the surface defects. Ultimately, CsPbBr 3 NPLs treated by DaPyBr achieved a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield at 456 nm. The target NPLs gained long-term storage stability and outstanding resistance to polar solvents. A bright deep-blue pattern display with commendable luminescence stability is achieved via aerosol printing technology. 2,6-Diaminopyridinium hydrobromide has dual functions of etching and passivation. It can peel off the outer layers and simultaneously passivate the internal crystal structure, ultimately achieving high-performance deep blue CsPbBr 3 NPLs.
