Room temperature three-photon pumped CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ perovskite microlasers.

ABSTRACT: Hybrid lead halide perovskites have made great strides in next-generation light-harvesting and light emitting devices. Recently, they have also shown great potentials in nonlinear optical materials. Two-photon absorption and two-photon light emission have been thoroughly studied in past two years. However, the three-photon processes are rarely explored, especially for the laser emissions. Here we synthesized high quality CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ perovskite microstructures with solution processed precipitation method and studied their optical properties. When the microstructures are pumped with intense 1240 nm lasers, we have observed clear optical limit effect and the band-to-band photoluminescence at 540 nm. By increasing the pumping density, whispering-gallery-mode based microlasers have been achieved from CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ perovskite microplate and microrod for the first time. This work demonstrates the potentials of hybrid lead halide perovskites in nonlinear photonic devices.

Room temperature two-photon-pumped random lasers in FAPbBr3/polyethylene oxide (PEO) composite perovskite thin film.

Project description:Solution-processed organic-inorganic halide lead perovskites have attracted increasing attention due to their great potential in low-cost, effective, and versatile light emission applications and large-scale portable optoelectronic devices. In this paper, formamidinium lead tribromide perovskite thin films composited with polyethylene oxide (PEO) were fabricated by a solution processing method. Great enhancement of photoluminescence was observed and more attractively, two-photon-pumped random lasing action could be achieved at room temperature when pumped by a nanosecond pulse laser with excitation wavelength centered at 1064 nm. Evident transition from spontaneous upconversion emission to random lasing action was investigated by monitoring the log-log light emission slope and peak width at half height. The lasing threshold is at around 1.1 mJ cm-2, which is comparable to that of other two-photon upconversion random lasers. The efficient random lasing emission originates from the multiple random scattering provided by the micrometer-scale rugged morphology and polycrystalline grain boundaries. Compared with conventional lasers that normally serve as a coherent light source, the perovskite random lasers show promise in fabricating low-cost thin-film lasing devices for flexible and speckle-free imaging applications.

Consolidation of the optoelectronic properties of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite single crystals.

Project description:Ultralow trap densities, exceptional optical and electronic properties have been reported for lead halide perovskites single crystals; however, ambiguities in basic properties, such as the band gap, and the electronic defect densities in the bulk and at the surface prevail. Here, we synthesize single crystals of methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3), characterise the optical absorption and photoluminescence and show that the optical properties of single crystals are almost identical to those of polycrystalline thin films. We observe significantly longer lifetimes and show that carrier diffusion plays a substantial role in the photoluminescence decay. Contrary to many reports, we determine that the trap density in CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite single crystals is 1015?cm-3, only one order of magnitude lower than in the thin films. Our enhanced understanding of optical properties and recombination processes elucidates ambiguities in earlier reports, and highlights the discrepancies in the estimation of trap densities from electronic and optical methods.Metal halide perovskites for optoelectronic devices have been extensively studied in two forms: single-crystals or polycrystalline thin films. Using spectroscopic approaches, Wenger et al. show that polycrystalline thin films possess similar optoelectronic properties to single crystals.

In-plane stimulated emission of polycrystalline CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite thin films.

Project description:Hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites have been investigated extensively within the last decades, for its great potential in efficient solar cells and as an ideal light source. Among the studies on stimulated emission (SE), the emission is either out-of-plane for polycrystalline films or in-plane with randomly aligned single microcrystals and nanowires. In this work, we revealed in-plane propagation of SE from bromine-based perovskite polycrystalline thin films (CH3NH3PbBr3, or MAPbBr3). The output from in-plane SE is an order higher than the out-of-plane emission. It is proposed that large crystalline flakes in the films lead to the in-plane lasing phenomena. The output coupling can be found at grain boundaries, intergrain gaps, and artificial structures. Simulative results support the experimental phenomenon that large crystalline grains are profitable for in-plane propagation and over 90% photons can be sufficiently outcoupled when the gap is larger than a micron. Considering the fabrication and handling convenience, we propose that the MAPbBr3 thin films can be easily integrated for in-plane applications as the light source for photonic chips etc.

Structural dynamics of CH3NH3+ and PbBr3- in tetragonal and cubic phases of CH3NH3PbBr3 hybrid perovskite by nuclear magnetic resonance.

Project description:Understanding the structural dynamics of lead-halide perovskites is essential for their advanced use as photovoltaics. Here, the structural dynamics of the CH3NH3 cation and PbBr6 octahedra in the perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 were studied via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to determine the mechanism of the transition from the tetragonal to cubic phase. The chemical shifts were obtained by 1H, 13C, and 207Pb magic angle spinning NMR and 14N static NMR. The chemical shifts of the 1H nuclei in CH3 and NH3 remained constant with increasing temperature, whereas those of the 13C and 207Pb nuclei varied near the phase transition temperature (TC = 236 K), indicating that the structural environments of 13C and 207Pb change near TC. The spin-lattice relaxation time T1ρ values for 1H, 13C, and 207Pb nuclei increased with increasing temperature and did not exhibit an abrupt change near TC. In addition, the two lines in the 14N NMR spectra superposed into one line near TC, indicating the occurrence of a phase transition to a cubic phase with higher symmetry than tetragonal. Consequently, the main factor causing the phase transition from the tetragonal to cubic phase near TC is a change in the surroundings of the 207Pb nuclei in the PbBr6 octahedra and of the C-N groups in the CH3NH3 cations.

Growth mechanism of strongly emitting CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals with a tunable bandgap.

Project description:Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals are promising materials for a diverse range of applications, such as light-emitting devices and photodetectors. We demonstrate the bandgap tunability of strongly emitting CH3NH3PbBr3 nanocrystals synthesized at both room and elevated (60?°C) temperature through the variation of the precursor and ligand concentrations. We discuss in detail the role of two ligands, oleylamine and oleic acid, in terms of the coordination of the lead precursors and the nanocrystal surface. The growth mechanism of nanocrystals is elucidated by combining the experimental results with the principles of nucleation/growth models. The proposed formation mechanism of perovskite nanocrystals will be helpful for further studies in this field and can be used as a guide to improve the synthetic methods in the future.The development of perovskite nanocrystals is limited by poor mechanistic understanding of their growth. Here, the authors systematically study the ligand-assisted reprecipitation synthesis of CH3NH3PbBr3 nanocrystals, revealing the effect of precursor and ligand concentrations on bandgap tunability.

Coexistence of light-induced photoluminescence enhancement and quenching in CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite films.

Project description:Lead halide perovskites are promising semiconductors for various optoelectronic devices working in a wide photo-excitation density regime. However, photo-induced instability, attributed to illumination-activated mobile ions, has been an obstacle to their application. Herein, we use the time evolution of photoluminescence (PL) to investigate the light illumination effects of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite films under relatively high excitation (up to 4.5 W cm-2). We demonstrate that continuous illumination can lead to both PL enhancement and PL quenching simultaneously, with their weight ratios depending on the excitation density. The experimental data can be well described and interpreted by considering the coexistence of and competition between the photo-induced annihilation and the formation of long-living filled trap states. Our study may provide in-depth insight into the photo-induced instability of perovskite films and help to improve the performance of perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.

Colloids of Naked CH3NH3PbBr3 Perovskite Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Stability, and Thin Solid Film Deposition.

Project description:A novel preparation of lead halide, CH3NH3PbBr3, perovskite nanoparticle solid films from colloidal "naked" nanoparticles, that is, dispersible nanoparticles without any surfactant, is reported. The colloids are obtained by simply adding potassium ions, whose counterions are both more lipophilic and less coordinating than bromide ions, to the perovskite precursor solutions (CH3NH3Br/PbBr2 in dimethylformamide) following the reprecipitation strategy. The naked nanoparticles exhibit a low tendency to aggregate in solution, and they effectively self-assembled on a substrate by centrifugation of the colloid, leading to homogeneous nanoparticle solid films with arbitrary thickness. These results are expected to spur further the interest in lead halide perovskites due to the new opportunities offered by these films.

Synergetic effect of the surface ligand and SiO2 driven photoluminescence stabilization of the CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite magic-sized clusters.

Project description:Zero-dimensional Perovskite Magic-size Clusters play crucial roles in understanding and controlling nucleation and growth of semiconductor nanoparticles. However, their metastability behavior is a critical hindrance for reliable characterizations. Here, we report the first demonstration of using an excess amount of surface ligand and SiO2 as novel passivation for synthesizing the magic-sized clusters (MSCs) by the Ligand-assisted reprecipitation method. A synergetic effect between an excessed surface ligand and SiO2 inhibits the protonation and deprotonation reaction between amine-based and acid-based ligand, leading to enhanced PL stability. The obtained CH3NH3PbBr3 PMSCs/SiO2 retain 70% of its initial emission intensity in ambient conditions for 20 days. This passivation approach opens an entirely new avenue for the reliable characterizations of CH3NH3PbBr3 PMSCs, which will significantly broaden their application for understanding and controlling nucleation and growth of semiconductor nanoparticles.

Crystal Structure Formation of CH₃NH₃PbI3-xClx Perovskite.

Project description:Inorganic-organic hydride perovskites bring the hope for fabricating low-cost and large-scale solar cells. At the beginning of the research, two open questions were raised: the hysteresis effect and the role of chloride. The presence of chloride significantly improves the crystallization and charge transfer property of the perovskite. However, though the long held debate over of the existence of chloride in the perovskite seems to have now come to a conclusion, no prior work has been carried out focusing on the role of chloride on the electronic performance and the crystallization of the perovskite. Furthermore, current reports on the crystal structure of the perovskite are rather confusing. This article analyzes the role of chloride in CH₃NH₃PbI3-xClx on the crystal orientation and provides a new explanation about the (110)-oriented growth of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and CH₃NH₃PbI3-xClx.

Gram-Scale Synthesis of Blue-Emitting CH3NH3PbBr3 Quantum Dots Through Phase Transfer Strategy.

Project description:Reprecipitation synthesis has been demonstrated to be a simple and convenient route to fabricate high quality perovskite quantum dots toward display applications, whereas the limited chemical yields (< 10%) and difficulty of purification limited its further application. In order to overcome this issue, we here report a modified emulsion synthesis by introducing phase transfer strategy, which achieving effective extraction of newly formed perovskite quantum dots into non-polar solvent and avoiding the degradation of perovskite quantum dots to a large extent. Based on this strategy, gram-scale CH3NH3PbBr3 quantum dots were fabricated in 10 mL (~0.02 mol/L) colloidal solution with chemical yields larger than 70%. The as fabricated CH3NH3PbBr3 quantum dots exhibit an emission peak of 453 nm and a full width at half maximum of only 14 nm. Moreover, electroluminescent devices based on blue emitting CH3NH3PbBr3 quantum dots were also explored with a maximum luminance of 32 cd/m2, showing potential applications in blue light emitting devices.
