Owing to their excellent photoluminescence and optoelec-tronic properties, metal halide hybrid perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are gaining importance in high efficiency solar cells and light emitting diodes. 1− 3 The intrinsically soft structure and chemical instability renders these perovskite structures to undergo transformations with the exchange of cations or anions within the lattice. Such chemical exchanges have often been utilized to tune their photophysical properties. 4− 8 For example, halide ion exchange reactions produce mixed halide perovskites with a tunable band gap covering the entire visible spectrum. 4, 9− 11 Additionally, the cation exchange in methylammonium lead halide (MAPbX) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with long alkyl chain cations can produce hybrid two-dimensional (2-D) perovskites. 12− 15 By controlling the concentration and composition of ligands (eg, oleic acid (OA) and oleylamine (OM)), it is also possible to alter the shapes of perovskite structure, from zero-dimensional quantum dots to 2-D nanoplatelets or nanosheets. 16− 18 We now present dodecyl dimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) induced transformation of CsPbBr3 NCs into crystalline 2-D CsPb2Br5 nanosheets and the mechanistic insights associated with morphological changes. CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystallites exhibit three different phases: orthorhombic (Phnm), tetragonal (P4/mbm), and cubic (Pm3m). 19, 20 The cubic phase obtained at higher temperatures (≥ 130 C) exhibits good stability. We employed a hot injection method to obtain cubic CsPbBr3 NCs by reacting Cs-oleate with Pb (II)-bromide at 170 C. The PbBr2 (0.19 mmol) was dissolved in octadecene (high boiling point solvent, 5 mL) containing OM (1.52 mmol) and OA (1.58 mmol) as ligands under an argon atmosphere. Cs-oleate (0.046 mmol) was then quickly injected at 170 C, and the NCs were precipitated using a butanol− acetone (1: 2) mixture followed by centrifugation. The purified NCs were then redispersed in the toluene (synthetic details are included in the Supporting Information, section 3).The absorption and emission spectra of colloidal CsPbBr3 in toluene are presented in Figure 1 A. The CsPbBr3 NCs in toluene exhibit band edge (absorption shoulder) around 500 nm and emission wavelength maximum at 507 nm. The CsPbBr3 NCs exhibit bright photoluminescence (quantum yield= 70%) with a full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 22 nm indicating the NCs to be monodisperse. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis further confirms that the NCs are monodisperse with an estimated size of 7±2 nm (Figure 2 A). The d-spacing analysis indicates that the nanocrystals possess (001) plane with a cubic structure. The elemental analyses by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectros-
