MOF-Confined Sub-2 nm Stable CsPbX₃ Perovskite Quantum Dots.

ABSTRACT: The metal halide with a perovskite structure has attracted significant attention due to its defect-tolerant photophysics and optoelectronic features. In particular, the all-inorganic metal halide perovskite quantum dots have potential for development in future applications. Sub-2 nm CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite quantum dots were successfully fabricated by a MOF-confined strategy with a facile and simple route. The highly uniform microporous structure of MOF effectively restricted the CsPbX₃ quantum dots aggregation in a synthetic process and endowed the obtained sub-2 nm CsPbX₃ quantum dots with well-dispersed and excellent stability in ambient air without a capping agent. The photoluminescence emission spectra and lifetimes were not decayed after 60 days. The CsPbX₃ quantum dots maintained size distribution stability in the air without any treatment. Because of the quantum confinement effect of CsPbX₃ quantum dots, the absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission peak were blue shifted to shorter wavelengths compare with bulk materials. Furthermore, this synthetic strategy provides a novel method in fabricating ultra-small photoluminescence quantum dots.
