Graphical Abstract
  • of Sn at the surface of SnO2 plays a role in the reversible transformation of the surface composition from Sn4+ cations to Sn2+, which leads to active centers in the surface chemical process [48]. Moreover, the OVs in SnO2 often appear when it is synthesized by chemical methods such as sol–gel

Graphical Abstract
  • scan rate of 0.1 mV s−1. All the CV curves exhibit two cathodic peaks, which can be ascribed to the transformation of elemental sulfur, S8, into soluble high-order polysulfides and then into Li2S and Li2S2 [41]. On the other hand, the anodic peaks can be assigned to the reversible transformation of

Graphical Abstract
  • perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) and their reversible transformation. The as-prepared CsPbBr3 PNCs and Cs4PbBr6 PNCs exhibit different optical properties that depend on their morphology, size, and structure. The photoluminescence (PL) emission and quantum yield (QY) of the CsPbBr3 PNCs can be tuned by changing
  • water. The mechanism of this transformation between the CsPbBr3 PNCs and Cs4PbBr6 PNCs and their morphology change are studied, involving ions equilibrium, anisotropic growth kinetics, and CsBr-stripping process. Keywords: CsPbBr3 PNCs; Cs4PbBr6 PNCs; polar-solvent-free; reversible transformation
  • PNCs were successfully converted to Cs4PbBr6 PNCs through a “ligand-mediated transformation” method with the addition of oleylamine (OAm) [24]. Udayabhaskararao’s group showed the reversible transformation from CsPbX3 to Cs4PbX6 through the ratio of oleic acid (OA) to OAm in a Brønsted acid–base
