Lanthanides are versatile modulators of optoelectronic properties owing to their narrow optical emission spectra across the visible and near-infrared range. Their use in metal halide perovskites (MHPs) has recently gained prominence, although their fate in these materials has not yet been established at the atomic level. We use cesium-133 solid-state NMR to establish the speciation of all nonradioactive lanthanide ions (La3+, Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Sm2+, Eu3+, Eu2+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+, Tm3+, Yb3+, Lu3+) in microcrystalline CsPbCl3. Our results show that all lanthanides incorporate into the perovskite structure of CsPbCl3 regardless of their oxidation state (+2, +3).
