Abstract Since the first report of the green emission of 2D all‐inorganic CsPb 2 Br 5 , its bandgap and photoluminescence (PL) origin have generated intense debate and remained controversial. After the discovery that PL centers occupy only specific morphological structures in CsPb 2 Br 5 , a two‐step highly sensitive and noninvasive optical technique is employed to resolve the controversy. Same‐spot Raman‐PL as a static property–structure probe reveals that CsPbBr 3 nanocrystals are contributing to the green emission of CsPb 2 Br 5 ; pressure‐dependent Raman‐PL with a diamond anvil cell as a dynamic probe further rules out point defects such as Br vacancies as an alternative mechanism. Optical absorption under hydrostatic pressure shows that the bandgap of CsPb 2 Br 5 is 0.3–0.4 eV higher than previously reported values and remains nearly constant with pressure up to 2 GPa in good agreement with full‐fledged density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Using ion exchange of Br with Cl and I, it is further proved that CsPbBr 3− x X x (X = Cl or I) is responsible for the strong visible PL in CsPb 2 Br 5− x X x . This experimental approach is applicable to all PL‐active materials to distinguish intrinsic defects from extrinsic nanocrystals, and the findings pave the way for new design and development of highly efficient optoelectronic devices based on all‐inorganic lead halides.
