| Summary: | Low-dimensional lead-free luminescent halides have emerged as highly promising phosphors for white-light emission. Recently, we reported a broadband blue-emitting copper(I) iodide-based material, Cs3Cu2I5, with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) (∼90%) and a zero-dimensional nature, providing significant dimensionality for the photoactive site. However, this material is insufficient as a white-light emitter owing to the deficient yellow emission. In this paper, we report a novel yellow luminescent phosphor, CsCu2I3, with a 1D structure for the photoactive site. This material exhibits a broadband emission centered at ∼560 nm with a PLQY of ∼8%. We demonstrate a thin film with white-light emission that can be fabricated using one-step spin-coating of a mixed precursor solution of 1D CsCu2I3 (yellow) and 0D Cs3Cu2I5 (blue).
