nanocrystals, in which the instability problems are magnified by the large surface area of the particles relative to their volume.
Atoms
on the surface are vulnerable to reactions that can degrade the material, so molecules that bind to the surface — called surface ligands or capping ligands — are used both to stabilize perovskite
nanocrystals and to control their properties.
