Surface Regulation of CsPbBr <sub/>3</sub> Quantum Dots for Standard Blue-Emission with Boosted PLQY

摘要： It is demonstrated that, via surface treatment of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) by introducing small amount of organic ammonium chlorides possessing short alkyl chain (C ≤ 4) in methyl acetate in the typical purification process, the emission can be tuned from green to blue region with boosted photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The Cl? mainly works on the surface of PeQDs to fill bromide vacancy, which generates a passivated mixed-halide surface and avoids formation of defects deep within bandgap. Meanwhile, the replacement of initial long-chain ligands with short chain ammonium moiety benefits the film PLQY. Accordingly, a standard blue emission of 461 nm with a high film PLQY of 52% is accessed and the corresponding colloidal shows a PLQY of 80% at 456 nm. This method is also proved to be a versatile tool to boost the PLQY of PeQDs by using short chain ammonium halides bearing the same X with the initial CsPbX3. A near-unity colloidal PLQY of 97% and 98% is achieved for CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3 respectively. Quantum dots light-emitting diode (QLED) with treated CsPbBr3 affords a standard blue electroluminescence of 459 nm and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 0.3%.
