A significant fraction of global electricity demand is for lighting. Enabled by the realization and development of efficient GaN blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), phosphor-based solid-state white LEDs provide a much higher efficiency alternative to incandescent and fluorescent lighting, which are being broadly implemented. However, a key challenge for this industry is to achieve the right photometric ranges and application-specific emission spectra via cost-effective means. Here, we synthesize organic–inorganic lead halide-based perovskite crystals with broad spectral tuneability. By tailoring the composition of methyl and octlyammonium cations in the colloidal synthesis, meso- to nanoscale 3D crystals (5–50 nm) can be formed with enhanced photoluminescence efficiency. By increasing the octlyammonium cations content, we observe platelet formation of 2D layered perovskite sheets; however, these platelets appear to be less emissive than the 3D crystals. We further manipulate the halide composition of the p...
