All-inorganic halide perovskites have attracted great attention by virtue of the merits of bright emission, tunable wavelength and narrow-band emission. Despite the excellent optical features, all-inorganic halide perovskite materials have suffered from intrinsic instability, which has limited their applications in various optoelectronic devices. To mitigate the intractable issue, we demonstrated the CsPbBr
3 nanoparticles decorated with smaller SiO2 nanocrystals to passivate the surface defects; SiO2 nanoparticles were applied as a barrier layer to maintain the optical property and enhance environmental stability. A facile in situ method was proposed to prepare CsPbBr3 /SiO2 nanocomposites, in which an environmental ethanol/water solvent system was needed with the addition of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a silicon precursor. The obtained CsPbBr3 /SiO2 nanocomposites have better optical characteristic and stability than bare CsPbBr3 nanoparticles. Even 70% photoluminescence intensity of as-prepared CsPbBr3 /SiO2 nanocomposites can be maintained after 168 h storage in ethanol. This newly developed synthesis will open up a new route for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices in an environmentally friendly way, and the as-obtained perovskite materials with improved stability will make them great potential for multifunctional optoelectronic devices.
