title: Organic-inorganic and all-inorganic lead halide nanoparticles [Invited].
abstract: Organic-inorganic (hybrid) and all-inorganic lead halide perovskites, in particular APbX(3) where A is an organic cation (methylammonium or formamidinium) or cesium cation and X = Cl, Br, I, respectively, are of great interest in photovoltaic devices and as luminescent materials for light-emitting devices. It has recently been demonstrated that they can be prepared not only as nanoparticulate material by using the pores of mesoporous films, but also as colloidal nanoparticles, which exhibit enhanced optical properties with respect to the bulk material. We summarize here the methods reported for their preparation as well as their optical features. Experimental and theoretical studies on this class of materials are ongoing and there is still a demand for enhancing their emissive properties, stability in polar solvents, dispersibility in different media and/or photostability.
