Low dimensional semiconductor nanomaterials have shown their tailorable properties for a variety of promising applications in decades. Here a general strategy to synthesize all‐inorganic CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I or their mixture) perovskite 2D nanoplates by introducing additional metal halides MX' 2 or MX' 3 (M = Cu, Zn, Al or Pb, etc.; X' = Cl, Br or I) is reported. These CsPbX 3 perovskite nanoplates have uniform thickness and tunable size, which can be feasibly controlled by the component and ratio of the metal halides, temperature, time, and ligands. The well‐defined morphology of the nanoplates makes them ideal building blocks for the self‐assembly in the face‐to‐face and column‐by‐column arrangement. Compared to the optically isotropic CsPbX 3 nanocubes, the 2D CsPbX 3 nanoplates exhibit remarkable polarized UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence not only in liquid solvent and solid resin matrix, but also in self‐assembled films. An optoelectronic photodetector sensitive for linear polarized light is fabricated to demonstrate the proof‐of‐concept.
