Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have emerged as attractive optoelectronic materials because of high fluorescence quantum yield, broad color tunability, and excellent color purity. However, the ionic nature of MHPs makes them susceptible to polar solvents, leading to defect-induced nonradiative recombination and photoluminescence (PL) quenching. Here, we present a combined in-synthesis (in situ) and post-synthesis ion engineering to suppress nonradiative recombination and integrate multicolor MHP arrays on-chip through a perovskite-compatible photolithography process and in situ vapor-phase anion exchange. CsPbBr3@CsPbBr3-xTFAx nanoplatelets were grown on-chip via a single-step solution process incorporating trifluoroacetate (TFA-) pseudohalides. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that TFA- passivate uncoordinated Pb2+ ions on nanoplatelet surface and suppresses the formation of metallic lead (Pb0). This decreases the non-radiative recombination centers and yields a PL peak at 520 nm with a linewidth of 14.56% ± 0.5 nm. The nanoplatelets were patterned via a top-down photolithography process and selectively masked with a PMMA/Al2O3 stack to enable vapor-phase anion exchange. The PL peak shifted in the unmasked regions from 520 nm to 413 nm, resulting in distinct green and blue emission arrays. Our method enables the scalable fabrication of highly luminescent, two-color MHP arrays with tailored optical properties, advancing their integration into next-generation optoelectronic devices.
