Abstract: Recently, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (CH3NH3PbX3, X=Cl, Br, I) have attracted tremendous interest owing to its application in many fields, particularly in solar cells. In this paper, the effect of reaction time on morphology and fluorescence performance of hot-injection synthesized CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite crystals was investigated. The absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, SEM were adopted to analyze the perovskite crystals. As the reaction time prolonging, the morphology changed from nanoparticles to nanoplatelets, and the size and thickness increased as well. Meanwhile, the absorption peak and the photoluminescence emission peak got blue-shifted. The perovskite crystals was found to achieve the highest photoluminescence quantum yield when the reaction time was controlled at 180 s.
