Development of efficient sunlight conversion materials is critical for advancing sustainable agricultural practices, but current solutions often face challenges such as poor stability, high cost, and reliance on rare-earth elements. This study presents a rare-earth-free xCsMnCl 3 (H 2 O) 2 /(1−x)Cs 3 SbCl 6 heterojunction ( x = 1−0.65) synthesized via an eco-friendly mechanochemical method. By strategically combining Cs 3 SbCl 6 as a UV-absorbing donor with CsMnCl 3 (H 2 O) 2 as an efficient red emitter. The optimized heterojunction achieves a remarkable 36-fold enhancement at 626 nm (Full width at half maxima (FWHM) = 88 nm), perfectly matching chlorophyll a's absorption spectrum. Comprehensive experimental and theoretical analyses, including UV–vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, reveal a dual enhancement mechanism: i) efficient interfacial electron-hole transfer and ii) suppression of non-radiative recombination through defect passivation. The practical application is demonstrated through a sunlight conversion film fabricated by embedding the 0.75CsMnCl 3 (H 2 O) 2 /0.25Cs 3 SbCl 6 composite in Ecoflex-0030, which exhibits exceptional environmental stability (90% PL retention after 90 days) and mechanical durability (500% tensile strain). The plant growth experiments confirm the film's agricultural efficacy, with chives and green cabbage growth rates increasing by 1.5- and 1.3-fold, respectively, compared to natural light conditions. This work not only addresses the limitations of existing light-conversion materials but also establishes a rare-earth-free, eco-friendly platform for energy-efficient agriculture.

Successful development of all-inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, or I) perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) has been witnessed due to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, the heavy usage of Pb element in PQDs has limited the commercial application of these PQDs, and the preparation of low-Pb or Pb-free PQDs is imperative. In this study, we report room-temperature reverse synthesis of CsPbxMn1−xCl3 PDQs from CsMnCl3 precursor nanocrystals through cation exchange. Interestingly, two-step phase transformation processes from hexagonal CsMnCl3 to rhombohedral Cs4PbxMn1−xCl6 and finally to cubic CsPbxMn1−xCl3 are evidenced. With an increase in the reaction time, Mn2+ ions in the PQD lattice are gradually replaced by Pb2+ ions. Notably, Mn2+ d → d broadband luminescence is not detected for the Cs4PbxMn1−xCl6 product, but it is intense for the CsPbxMn1−xCl3 sample owing to efficient energy transfer from CsPbCl3 to Mn2+. Moreover, it is found that the introduction of Br− into the reaction system will prohibit the complete phase transformation from rhombohedral Cs4PbxMn1−x(Cl/Br)6 to cubic CsPbxMn1−x(Cl/Br)3. By controlling the ratio between the CsMnCl3 precursor and PbBr2, tunable luminescence is easily achieved due to the combined emissions from both CsPb(Cl/Br)3 PQDs and Mn2+-emitting centers.

Low-dimensional lead-free perovskite single crystals (SCs) have exhibited great potential in high-energy ionizing radiation detections owing to their outstanding sensitivity and charge transport properties. However, the preparation of chlorine-based SCs is more challenging due to their low solubility in organic solvents and acidic solutions. In this work, we report a universal growth strategy of hydrochloric acid-assisted temperature lowering for low-dimensional layered perovskite CsMnCl3·2H2O SCs. Compared with SCs prepared by solution evaporation crystallization, centimeter-sized SCs were achieved with ultrahigh crystal quality, showing a very small full width at half-maximum of 0.02° at the plane (002). Our layered perovskite CsMnCl3 2H2O X-ray detector shows unique anisotropic X-ray detecting performance at parallel and perpendicular to the (002) crystal plane. An ultralow detection limit of 9.3 nGyair s–1 has been obtained, which is significantly lower than the 5.5 μGyair s–1 required for regular medical diagnostics. Furthermore, the device shows enhanced stability with a slight degradation of 8% after storage in air ambient for 6 months. Our work suggests a promising approach to fabricate high-quality SCs for sensitive and stable X-ray detection applications.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have sparked ongoing research interest due to their high-performance optoelectronic properties. However, blue-light excitable near-infrared (NIR) emitting MHPs is still inaccessible and the achievement of robust thermal-quenching resistance so far remains a huge challenge. In this work, we report on the synthesis of lead-free all-inorganic Mn 2+ -based perovskite-like single crystals using the designed nonstoichiometric precursor ratio. The special crystal structure endows Mn 2+ with efficient blue light excitation and red emission, which enables the capabilities of a good matching with commercial blue LED chips and an efficient sensitization for Ln 3+ emitters. The incorporations of Yb 3+ , Er 3+ , and Ho 3+ functionalize the CsMnCl 3 single crystals with multiple NIR emissions by virtue of feeding the energy from Mn 2+ to Ln 3+ via multi-channels. Most remarkable is the achievement of the robust thermal-quenching resistance, exhibiting (near-) zero-thermal-quenching and even anti-thermal quenching, of the Ln 3+ NIR emissions above room temperature . Finally, as a proof-of-concept study, a prototype of an NIR-LED device was fabricated. This work not only provides a general strategy to unlock the blue-light excitable NIR emission from f-f transitions of Ln 3+ ions, and a fundamental understanding of the sensitization-activation mechanisms in Ln 3+ -functionalized manganese (Ⅱ)-based perovskite-like phosphor, but also endows the MHPs with optical functionalities for the future high-potential applications, such as NIR phosphor-converted LEDs, and optical telecommunication.
