(LEDs) are becoming the main technology for general lighting applications. 1, 2 In the last years, a variety of white-LEDs have been demonstrated employing, for example, organic molecules (OLEDs) 3− 7 or inorganic quantum dots (QDs) of different composition. 8 A common way of achieving a white-light emission is to couple a near-UV or blue LED with downconversion materials such as phosphors. 9 More recently, QDs have been incorporated into LEDs, replacing conventional phosphors to tune finely the emission spectrum. 10 Among the different available QDs, lead halide-based perovskite nanocrystals have recently emerged as very promising candidates for many optoelectronic applications. 11− 15 Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals can be synthesized and/or transformed postsynthesis, so that samples emitting at different wavelengths throughout the whole visible spectrum, with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), can be prepared easily. This can be achieved either by changing the chemical composition (by anion-exchange for example) 16, 17 or the shape (cubes, platelets, sheets, wires). 18− 21 Also, electroluminescence has been observed from bulk perovskite films, 22− 25 blended perovskite-in-polymer films, 26 as well as from nanocrystals-only films 27, 28 leading to the first perovskitebased LEDs.Perovskite nanocrystals have also been used as colorconversion materials for white-emitting LEDs. Recent reports use a commercial blue GaN LED on top of which greenemitting bromide-based nanocrystals are placed. 29, 30 The spectrum is then completed either with conventional red phosphors or with iodide-based perovskite QDs. 29, 30 In the latter case, both bromide-and iodide-based perovskite nanocrystals are embedded in a polymer matrix to prevent spontaneous interparticle anion-exchange reactions. Recent reports have shown that shape control over perovskite nanocrystals can be used to tune the emission wavelength: for example, quantum confinement in bromide-based nanoplatelets shifts the emission wavelength from green (around 515 nm for “standard” nanocubes) to blue. 18 This avoids the need for a blue-emitting source. Additionally, we have recently demonstrated that X-ray irradiation under vacuum inhibits anion-exchange reactions on perovskite nanocrystals, making it unnecessary to embed them in a polymer matrix. 31 Eventually,“fully inorganic” cesium-based perovskites are reported to be
