Fig. 1: Design concept and material characterization.

a Schematic representation of the rational design of Cl− or Cd2+ sites in the CsCdCl3 crystal structure, occupied by (I) Br− or (II) Sn2+ ions to disrupt local symmetry in the host framework and promote LPL, color and PLQY properties. Details: The design employs shadows and lighting to highlight the inherent CsCdCl3 crystal structure was disrupted by activated Cl− or Sn2+ ions, bringing out a dual positive performance improvement strategy. Rietveld refinements of the typical XRD patterns of b CsCdCl3:0.8%Br and c CsCdCl3:10%Sn. SEM image of d CsCdCl3:0.8%Br and e CsCdCl3:10%Sn, along with their corresponding elemental mapping images of Cs, Cd, Cl, Br and Sn. f Wet-chemistry method for the synthesis of CsCdCl3:x%Br and CsCdCl3:x%Sn all-inorganic perovskites.
