Nitrate Ion-Incorporated Stable Perovskite Nanocrystals by a Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Reaction.

ABSTRACT: We have synthesized a new class of organolead halide perovskite nanocrystals by a solvent-free mechanochemical green approach. We have developed a new combination of precursor by incorporating nitrate ions into the MAPbBr3 perovskite core. While the presence of nitrate ion is evidenced by Fourier-transform infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction data shows the formation of perovskite nanocrystals. By altering the precursor composition, the morphology of the nanocrystals changes. Photoluminescence properties of these nanocrystals are preserved. Moreover, the stability of these nanocrystals is monitored for a long time, which shows that the incorporation of nitrate ions into the perovskite nanocrystal core does not have any decremental effect on its stability. Nonetheless, this strategy to synthesize perovskite nanocrystals reduces the solvent toxicity.

A solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of polyaromatic hydrocarbon derivatives.

Project description:Polyaromatic hydrocarbons are central molecules in the future of nanotechnology. However, the synthesis of these molecules is limited by their lack of solubility in solvents, especially green solvents, their ease of oxidation in solution and use of harmful reagents. Solvent-free mechanochemistry has been shown to have excellent potential for these types of molecules and should provide a much more environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of this very important class of molecules. This report details the use of mechanochemistry on an iterative strategy for the synthesis of polyaromatic hydrocarbon derivatives.

Lead-Free Cesium Titanium Bromide Double Perovskite Nanocrystals.

Project description:Double perovskites are a promising family of lead-free materials that not only replace lead but also enable new optoelectronic applications beyond photovoltaics. Recently, a titanium (Ti)-based vacancy-ordered double perovskite, Cs2TiBr6, has been reported as an example of truly sustainable and earth-abundant perovskite with controversial results in terms of photoluminescence and environmental stability. Our work looks at this material from a new perspective, i.e., at the nanoscale. We demonstrate the first colloidal synthesis of Cs2TiX6 nanocrystals (X = Br, Cl) and observe tunable morphology and size of the nanocrystals according to the set reaction temperature. The Cs2TiBr6 nanocrystals synthesized at 185 °C show a bandgap of 1.9 eV and are relatively stable up to 8 weeks in suspensions. However, they do not display notable photoluminescence. The centrosymmetric crystal structure of Cs2TiBr6 suggests that this material could enable third-harmonic generation (THG) responses. Indeed, we provide a clear evidence of THG signals detected by the THG microscopy technique. As only a few THG-active halide perovskite materials are known to date and they are all lead-based, our findings promote future research on Cs2TiBr6 as well as on other lead-free double perovskites, with stronger focus on currently unexplored nonlinear optical applications.

Solvent-free copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition under mechanochemical activation.

Project description:The ball-mill-based mechanochemical activation of metallic copper powder facilitates solvent-free alkyne-azide click reactions (CuAAC). All parameters that affect reaction rate (i.e., milling time, revolutions/min, size and milling ball number) have been optimized. This new, efficient, facile and eco-friendly procedure has been tested on a number of different substrates and in all cases afforded the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in high yields and purities. The final compounds were isolated in almost quantitative overall yields after simple filtration, making this procedure facile and rapid. The optimized CuAAC protocol was efficiently applied even with bulky functionalized ?-cyclodextrins (?-CD) and scaled-up to 10 g of isolated product.

Mechanochemical and solvent-free assembly of zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:We develop the first mechanochemical and solvent-free routes for zirconium metal-organic frameworks, making the frameworks UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 accessible on the gram scale without strong acids, high temperatures or excess reactants. The frameworks form either by milling, or spontaneous self-assembly by simply exposing solid mixtures of reactants to organic vapour. The generated frameworks exhibit high porosity and catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of model nerve agents, on par with their solvothermally generated counterparts.

Doped Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for Reabsorption-Free Luminescent Solar Concentrators.

Project description:Halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising solution-processed emitters for low-cost optoelectronics and photonics. Doping adds a degree of freedom for their design and enables us to fully decouple their absorption and emission functions. This is paramount for luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) that enable fabrication of electrode-less solar windows for building-integrated photovoltaic applications. Here, we demonstrate the suitability of manganese-doped CsPbCl3 NCs as reabsorption-free emitters for large-area LSCs. Light propagation measurements and Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the dopant emission is unaffected by reabsorption. Nanocomposite LSCs were fabricated via mass copolymerization of acrylate monomers, ensuring thermal and mechanical stability and optimal compatibility of the NCs, with fully preserved emission efficiency. As a result, perovskite LSCs behave closely to ideal devices, in which all portions of the illuminated area contribute equally to the total optical power. These results demonstrate the potential of doped perovskite NCs for LSCs, as well as for other photonic technologies relying on low-attenuation long-range optical wave guiding.

Implementing Dopant-Free Hole-Transporting Layers and Metal-Incorporated CsPbI<sub>2</sub>Br for Stable All-Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells.

Project description:Mixed-halide CsPbI2Br perovskite is promising for efficient and thermally stable all-inorganic solar cells; however, the use of conventional antisolvent methods and additives-based hole-transporting layers (HTLs) currently hampers progress. Here, we have employed hot-air-assisted perovskite deposition in ambient condition to obtain high-quality photoactive CsPbI2Br perovskite films and have extended stable device operation using metal cation doping and dopant-free hole-transporting materials. Density functional theory calculations are used to study the structural and optoelectronic properties of the CsPbI2Br perovskite when it is doped with metal cations Eu2+ and In3+. We experimentally incorporated Eu2+ and In3+ metal ions into CsPbI2Br films and applied dopant-free copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based materials as low-cost hole transporting layers, leading to record-high power conversion efficiencies of 15.27% and 15.69%, respectively, and a retention of >95% of the initial efficiency over 1600 h at 85 °C thermal stress.

Large cation ethylammonium incorporated perovskite for efficient and spectra stable blue light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have showed significant progress in recent years; the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of electroluminescence in green and red regions has exceeded 20%, but the efficiency in blue lags far behind. Here, a large cation CH3CH2NH2+ is added in PEA2(CsPbBr3)2PbBr4 perovskite to decrease the Pb-Br orbit coupling and increase the bandgap for blue emission. X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance results confirmed that the EA has successfully replaced Cs+ cations to form PEA2(Cs1-xEAxPbBr3)2PbBr4. This method modulates the photoluminescence from the green region (508 nm) into blue (466 nm), and over 70% photoluminescence quantum yield in blue is obtained. In addition, the emission spectra is stable under light and thermal stress. With configuration of PeLEDs with 60% EABr, as high as 12.1% EQE of sky-blue electroluminescence located at 488 nm has been demonstrated, which will pave the way for the full color display for the PeLEDs.

Phase segregation due to ion migration in all-inorganic mixed-halide perovskite nanocrystals.

Project description:Semiconductor mixed-halide perovskites featured with a tunable energy bandgap are ideal candidates for light absorbers in tandem solar cells as well as fluorescent materials in light-emitting diodes and nanoscale lasers. These device advancements are currently hindered by the light-induced phase segregation effect, whereby ion migration would yield smaller-bandgap domains with red-shifted photoluminescence. Here we show that upon laser excitation all-inorganic mixed-halide nanocrystals unexpectedly exhibit a blue shift in the photoluminescence peak that can revert back in the dark, thus depicting the processes of ion migration out of and back to the originally excited nanocrystals. Interestingly, this reversible photoluminescence shift can also be induced by electrical biasing of mixed-halide nanocrystals without the injection of charge carriers. The above findings suggest that it is the local electric field that breaks the ionic bonds in mixed-halide nanocrystals, which could be a universal origin for light-induced phase segregation observed in other mixed-halide perovskite materials.

Manganese-Doped, Lead-Free Double Perovskite Nanocrystals for Bright Orange-Red Emission.

Project description:Lead-free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently attracted attention due to their nontoxicity and stability as alternatives to lead-based perovskite NCs. Here, we report undoped and manganese-doped all-inorganic, lead-free double perovskite (DP) NCs: Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6 (0 < x < 1) and Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6:Mn (0 ? x ? 1) NCs. Undoped NCs exhibit blue emission. Through doping Mn2+ ions into Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6 NCs, we can avoid self-trapped exciton emission and realize bright orange red emission of Mn2+ dopants with the highest photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 44.6%. The photoluminescence (PL) is tunable from yellow emission to orange-red emission corresponding to a red shift from 583 to 614 nm with increasing In content. Interestingly, the PL emission of Mn-doped NCs shows a red shift from the bulk size to the nanoscale. The Mn-doped NCs show good stability in air. In addition, we further prove the process of dark self-trapped state-assisted Mn2+ emission in DP NCs by ultrafast transient absorption techniques.
