The most commonly used surface capping ligands, like oleic acid and oleylamine, passivate the surface of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) to enhance their stability and optical properties. However, due to their inherent insulating nature, charge transport across the surface of the PNCs is hindered, limiting their application in devices. In this study, we have post-treatment CsPbBr 3 PNCs with short chain ligands benzoic acid (BA) and ascorbic acid (AA) and observed that both acid-treated PNCs show enhanced stability and optical properties. Still, BA-treated PNCs show the highest charge transport rate due to their conjugating nature. The photoelectrochemical measurements also show the most efficient electron flow across the surface of the PNC with BA-treated PNCs. A longer carrier lifetime and fast charge transfer make BA-treated PNCs ideal candidates for application in real-life devices.
