Cover Story: Red perovskite quantum dots (RPQDs) suffer from significant performance limitation due to surface defects and insufficient exciton emission. Building upon the concept of "surface engineering," and in contrast to conventional single-passivation methods, multiple-passivation strategies hold significant potential for performance enhancement. To illustrate this point, this review highlights a dual-passivation approach inspired by organic–inorganic hybrid materials. A nearly threefold increase in photoluminescence quantum yield was achieved (PLQY, from 23% to 58%) alongside effective defect suppression. A novel anti-counterfeiting and smart optical application is also demonstrated through bimodal emission, further broadening the utility of PQDs. View this paper
