0D lead-free metal halide nanocrystals (NCs) are an emerging class of materials with intriguing optical properties. Herein, colloidal synthetic routes are presented for the production of 0D Cs3Cu2X5 (X = I, Br, and Cl) NCs with orthorhombic structure and well-defined morphologies. All these Cs3Cu2X5 NCs exhibit broadband blue-green photoluminescence (PL) emissions in the range of 445-527 nm with large Stokes shifts, which are attributed to their intrinsic self-trapped exciton (STE) emission characteristics. The high PL quantum yield of 48.7% is obtained from Cs3Cu2Cl5 NCs, while Cs3Cu2I5 NCs exhibit considerable air stability over 45 days. Intriguingly, as X is changed from I to Br and Cl, Cs3Cu2X5 NCs exhibit a continuous redshift of emission peaks, which is contrary to the blueshift in CsPbX3 perovskite NCs.
