Achieving Near-Unity Photoluminescence Efficiency for Blue-violet Emitting Perovskite Nanocrystals
摘要： While the perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have shown great promise as materials for efficient light emitting diodes (LEDs), low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the blue-emitting perovskites is an impediment to the development of white LEDs of which blue is an essential component. Herein, we report that room temperature post-synthetic treatment of weakly blue-violet emitting (PLQY 3%) CsPbCl3 NCs with CdCl2 results in an instantaneous enhancement of the PLQY to near-unity without affecting the PL peak position (406 nm) and spectral width. The time-resolved PL and ultrafast transient absorption measurements confirm the removal of nonradiative defect states of the CsPbCl3 NCs in treated sample. The elemental composition and structural data of the treated sample reveal facile doping of Cd2+ into the crystal lattice without affecting the size and shape of the NCs. Extraordinary PLQY, high air- and photo-stability and ease of preparation of this Cd-doped CsPbCl3 make it by far the most attractive blue-emitting perovskite for development of efficient blue and white LEDs.

Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation from CdTe Photoanodes Annealed with CdCl2
摘要： CdTe absorbs sunlight up to 830 nm and has the potential to promote efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, most CdTe photoanodes and CdTe photocathodes show positive and negative photocurrent onset potentials for water oxidation and reduction, respectively, and are thus unable to drive PEC water splitting without external applied biases. In this work, we enhanced the activity of a CdTe photoanode having an internal p-n junction during PEC water oxidation by applying a CdCl2 annealing treatment together with surface modifications. The resulting CdTe photoanode generated photocurrents of 1.8 and 5.4 mA cm-2 at 0.6 and 1.2 VRHE, respectively, with a photoanodic current onset potential of 0.22 VRHE under simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G). The CdCl2 annealing increased the grain sizes in this material and lowered the density of grain boundaries, allowing for more efficient charge separation. Consequently, a two-electrode tandem PEC cell comprising a CdTe-based photoanode and photocathode split water without any external bias at a solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 0.51% at the beginning of the reaction.
