Universal Oxide Shell Growth Enables in Situ Structural Studies of Perovskite Nanocrystals during the Anion Exchange Reaction.

The ability to tune thin oxide coatings by wet-chemistry is desirable for many applications, yet it remains a key synthetic challenge. In this work, we introduce a general colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) synthesis to grow an alumina shell with tunable thickness around nanocrystalline cores of various compositions spanning from ionic semiconductors (i.e., CsPbX
