This study demonstrates dynamically tunable multicolor emissions from a single component, zero-dimensional (0-D) cesium europium chloride (Cs₃EuCl₆) and cesium terbium chloride (Cs₃TbCl₆) nanocrystals (NCs). Highly uniform colloidal Cs₃EuCl₆ and Cs₃TbCl₆ NCs are synthesized via the heating-up method. Excitation-wavelength-dependent multicolor emissions from Cs₃EuCl₆ and Cs₃TbCl₆ NCs are observed. Under excitation of 330–400 nm, both NCs exhibit blue photoluminescence (PL). Under wavelengths shorter than 330 nm, characteristic red and green emissions are observed from Cs₃EuCl₆ and Cs₃TbCl₆, respectively, owing to the atomic emissions from the f-orbitals in trivalent europium (Eu³⁺) and terbium (Tb³⁺) ions. Cs₃EuCl₆ and Cs₃TbCl₆ NCs exhibit broadband excitation spectra and enhanced absorption properties. Particularly, Cs₃EuCl₆ NCs exhibit a very narrow full-width at half-maximum in both blue and red PL and no overlap between the two spectra. Further, the photophysical properties of these NCs are further investigated to understand the multicolor PL origins by time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements. Finally, the potential applications of Cs₃EuCl₆ and Cs₃TbCl₆ NCs as anti-counterfeiting inks for high-level security are demonstrated. Given their broadband excitation with enhanced absorption properties and dynamically tunable colors with a wide color gamut, Cs₃EuCl₆ and Cs₃TbCl₆ NCs have great potential as novel multicolor NC emitters for many emerging applications.
