Abstract

Abstract Correlative X‐ray microscopy, including synchrotron X‐ray diffraction and fluorescence, is leveraged to understand the local role of europium as a B‐site additive in CsPbBr3 perovskite crystals. Europium addition reduces microstrain in the perovskite, despite the fact that the degree of europium incorporation into the perovskite varies locally, with a maximum loading over twice the nominal stoichiometry. The presence of europium improves photoluminescence yield and bandwidth, while shifting the emission to bluer wavelengths. Finally, europium‐containing crystals have greatly improved X‐ray hardness. The findings show promise for europium as an additive in perovskite optoelectronic devices.
