Synthesis of Mn2+:Cs3Cu2Br5 Halide Perovskite-Like Derivative Keywords
Materials: All Mn2+:Cs3Cu2Br5 perovskite-like derivative materials were
synthesized at room temperature by the solid–state reaction synthesis blue light hazard optimization, broaden the spectrum, photo-biological
methods. In typical synthesis of Mn2+:Cs3Cu2Br5 perovskite-like safety lighting
derivative material, 3 mmol CsBr (0.6385 g), 2 mmol CuBr (0.2869 g),
and x% MnBr2 were homogeneously blended in mortar. Subsequently, Received: September 1, 2022
the blend was transferred to the ball mill tank. The sealed tank was Revised: November 5, 2022
