Inorganic halide perovskites (IHPs) have received substantial attention due to their unique optoelectronic properties. Among all the intriguing performance, the efficient luminescence of IHPs enables the practical application of white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) for lighting. During the last decade, IHP-based white lighting sources with a high luminesce and a broad color gamut have been developed as strong competitors to conventional and classic WLEDs based on rare-earth phosphors and blue LED chips. Thus, it inspires us to give an overview of the emerging progress of IHP WLEDs that can function as lighting sources. Here, in this review, the generation of luminescent properties and white light in IHPs are first presented. Then, both photoluminescence and electroluminescence WLEDs with IHPs emitters, including both lead-based and lead-free IHPs, are synthetically discussed to exhibit their advantages. Furthermore, the efforts on the optical performance enhancement of IHPs in WLEDs are demonstrated and summarized. Apart from WLEDs, visible light communication based on IHPs featuring efficient luminescence is proposed to highlight their promising potential in lighting communication. Finally, some perspectives on the evolution and challenges are described, followed by an inspirational outlook on their future development.

Inorganic cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X=Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) attract extensive attention because of their excellent optoelectronic performance. However, the classic CsPbX3 NCs suffer from toxicity and instability, which impede their further applications in commercial fields. Here the inorganic lead-free cesium copper chlorine NCs are synthesized by a facile hot-injection method. The blue-emission 3D CsCu2Cl3 and green-emission 0D Cs3Cu2Cl5 NCs are prepared at 70°C and 120°C, respectively, suggesting that the reaction temperature may account for the final components. Owing to the self-trapped exciton effect, the unique optical properties, such as high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield, broadband emission, large Stokes shift, and long PL decay time, are demonstrated for both cesium copper chlorine NCs. Moreover, highly efficient and stable warm white light-emitting diodes are fabricated with CsCu2Cl3 and Cs3Cu2Cl5 NCs. The study highlights the promising potential for lead-free cesium copper chlorine nanocrystals in nontoxic solid-state lighting applications.

All-inorganic cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) with excellent optical properties have been regarded as good gain materials for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). However, the poor stability as the results of the high sensitivity to heat and moisture limits their further applications. Here, we report a facile one-pot approach to synthesize CsPbBr3@SiO2 QDs at room temperature. Due to the effective defects passivation using SiO2, as-prepared CsPbBr3@SiO2 QDs present an enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and chemical stability. The PLQY of CsPbBr3@SiO2 QDs reaches 71.6% which is higher than 46% in pure CsPbBr3 QDs. The PL intensity of CsPbBr3@SiO2 QDs maintains 84% while remaining 24% in pure CsPbBr3 after 80 min heating at 60°C. The ASE performance of the films is also studied under a two-photon-pumped laser. Compared with the films using pure CsPbBr3 QDs, those with as-prepared CsPbBr3@SiO2 QDs exhibit a reduced threshold of ASE. The work suggests that room-temperature-synthesized SiO2-coated perovskites QDs are promising candidates for laser devices.
