Herein, we report a Sb\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    -doped (TEA)\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    SnCl\n                    <jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>\n                    zero-dimensional (0D) metal halide that exhibits highly efficient broadband emission and refractive index sensing capability. By systematically tuning the Sb\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    doping concentration, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is significantly enhanced from nearly non-emissive to a maximum value of 84.4%. Temperature-dependent PL of (TEA)\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    SnCl\n                    <jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>\n                    : 20%Sb\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    shows a large exciton binding energy (149.2\u2005meV) and a significant Huang-Rhys factor (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">S<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200911.37).

Raman spectra demonstrate strong electron-phonon coupling, which stabilizes the STEs. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that Sb\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    incorporation induces a transition from a direct to an indirect band gap and introduces localized electronic states near the valence band edge, facilitating exciton localization. Moreover, the integration of (TEA)\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    SnCl\n                    <jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>\n                    : 20%Sb\n                    <jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup>\n                    into an optical fiber-based SPR sensor has successfully demonstrated its refractive index sensing capability, while its PL properties also show promising potential for fabrication into WLEDs.
