Currently, perovskite containing organometal halides have issues for limited color range and low photoluminescence (PL). In this regard, we designed split-ligand mediated re-precipitation (Split-LMRP) as a unique synthesis method for improved stability and PL by separating octylamine and oleic acid (OA), compared to a conventional method. [Accepted manuscript] Octylamine adjusted the size of the nucleus as main ligand, while OA acted only as a stabilizer. Especially, the QDs based on Split-LMRP remained PL intensity after 5 days with strong PL emission and a high PL quantum yield (PLQY) of 91.5% due to the removal of most polar solvents during re-precipitation. In addition, the size of the QDs was adjusted constantly in the range of 2-5 nm depending on the concentration of octylamine. When the perovskite QDs were used as the intermediate layer of the perovskite solar cell, performance and reproducibility of the PSC were improved by forming stable phases.
