Interfacial Manganese-Doping in CsPbBr₃ Nanoplatelets by Employing a Molecular Shuttle.

ABSTRACT: Mn-doping in cesium lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) is of particular importance where strong quantum confinement plays a significant role towards the exciton-dopant coupling. In this work, we report an immiscible bi-phasic strategy for post-synthetic Mn-doping of CsPbX₃ (X=Br, Cl) NPls. A systematic study shows that electron-donating oleylamine acts as a shuttle ligand to transport MnX₂ through the water-hexane interface and deliver it to the NPls. The halide anion also plays an essential role in maintaining an appropriate radius of Mn²⁺ and thus fulfilling the octahedral factor required for the formation of perovskite crystals. By varying the thickness of parent NPls, we can tune the dopant incorporation and, consequently, the exciton-to-dopant energy transfer process in doped NPls. Time-resolved optical measurements offer a detailed insight into the exciton-to-dopant energy transfer process. This new approach for post-synthetic cation doping paves a way towards exploring the cation exchange process in several other halide perovskites at the polar-nonpolar interface.

Stable Hexylphosphonate-Capped Blue-Emitting Quantum-Confined CsPbBr3 Nanoplatelets.

Project description:Quantum-confined CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) are extremely promising for use in low-cost blue light-emitting diodes, but their tendency to coalesce in both solution and film form, particularly under operating device conditions with injected charge-carriers, is hindering their adoption. We show that employing a short hexyl-phosphonate ligand (C6H15O3P) in a heat-up colloidal approach for pure, blue-emitting quantum-confined CsPbBr3 NPLs significantly suppresses these coalescence phenomena compared to particles capped with the typical oleyammonium ligands. The phosphonate-passivated NPL thin films exhibit photoluminescence quantum yields of ∼40% at 450 nm with exceptional ambient and thermal stability. The color purity is preserved even under continuous photoexcitation of carriers equivalent to LED current densities of ∼3.5 A/cm2. 13C, 133Cs, and 31P solid-state MAS NMR reveal the presence of phosphonate on the surface. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the enhanced stability is due to the stronger binding affinity of the phosphonate ligand compared to the ammonium ligand.

Electrochemical p-Doping of CsPbBr3 Perovskite Nanocrystals.

Project description:Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have drawn attention as active light-absorbing or -emitting materials for opto-electronic applications due to their facile synthesis, intrinsic defect tolerance, and color-pure emission ranging over the entire visible spectrum. To optimize their application in, e.g., solar cells and light-emitting diodes, it is desirable to gain control over electronic doping of these materials. However, predominantly due to the intrinsic instability of perovskites, successful electronic doping has remained elusive. Using spectro-electrochemistry and electrochemical transistor measurements, we demonstrate here that CsPbBr3 nanocrystals can be successfully and reversibly p-doped via electrochemical hole injection. From an applied potential of ∼0.9 V vs NHE, the emission quenches, the band edge absorbance bleaches, and the electronic conductivity quickly increases, demonstrating the successful injection of holes into the valence band of the CsPbBr3 nanocrystals.

Highly Efficient Blue-Emitting CsPbBr3 Perovskite Nanocrystals through Neodymium Doping.

Project description:Colloidal CsPbX3 (X = Br, Cl, and I) perovskite nanocrystals exhibit tunable bandgaps over the entire visible spectrum and high photoluminescence quantum yields in the green and red regions. However, the lack of highly efficient blue-emitting perovskite nanocrystals limits their development for optoelectronic applications. Herein, neodymium (III) (Nd3+) doped CsPbBr3 nanocrystals are prepared through the ligand-assisted reprecipitation method at room temperature with tunable photoemission from green to deep blue. A blue-emitting nanocrystal with a central wavelength at 459 nm, an exceptionally high photoluminescence quantum yield of 90%, and a spectral width of 19 nm is achieved. First principles calculations reveal that the increase in photoluminescence quantum yield upon doping is driven by an enhancement of the exciton binding energy due to increased electron and hole effective masses and an increase in oscillator strength due to shortening of the Pb-Br bond. Putting these results together, an all-perovskite white light-emitting diode is successfully fabricated, demonstrating that B-site composition engineering is a reliable strategy to further exploit the perovskite family for wider optoelectronic applications.

Temperature-Driven Transformation of CsPbBr3 Nanoplatelets into Mosaic Nanotiles in Solution through Self-Assembly.

Project description:Two-dimensional colloidal halide perovskite nanocrystals are promising materials for light-emitting applications. Recent studies have focused on nanoplatelets that are able to self-assemble and transform on solid substrates. However, the mechanism behind the process and the atomic arrangement of their assemblies remain unclear. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the transformation of self-assembled stacks of CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets in solution over a period of a few months by using ex situ transmission electron microscopy and surface analysis. We demonstrate that the transformation mechanism can be understood as oriented attachment, proceeding through the following steps: (i) desorption of the ligands from the surfaces of the particles, causing the seamless atomic merging of nanoplatelet stacks into nanobelts; (ii) merging of neighboring nanobelts that form more extended nanoplates; and (iii) attachment of nanobelts and nanoplates, forming objects with an atomic structure that resembles a mosaic made of broken nanotiles. We reveal that aged nanobelts and nanoplates, which are mainly stabilized by amine/ammonium ions, link through a bilayer of CsBr, with the atomic columns of neighboring perovskite lattices shifted by a half-unit-cell, forming Ruddlesden-Popper planar faults. We also show, via in situ monitoring of the nanocrystal photoluminescence combined with transmission electron microscopy analysis, that the transformation is temperature driven and that it can take place within tens of minutes in solution and in spin-coated films. Understanding this process gives crucial information for the design and fabrication of perovskite materials, where control over the type and density of defects is desired, stimulating the development of perovskite nanocrystal structures with tailored electronic properties.

Effects of Tellurium Doping on Environmental Stability and Luminous Performance of CsPbBr3 Quantum Dots.

Project description:The effects of elemental tellurium doping and decorating on the photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) and the environmental stability of the CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) have been systematically studied. The PL spectra blue-shifts from 520 to 464 nm gradually with the increase in the amount of Te, and the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) increases from 20 to 62 nm and decreases to 27 nm accordingly. The morphology of the untreated samples has a rectangular shape with distinct boundaries, whereas the Te-doped samples have a semi-core-shell structure with partially coated CsPb2Br5 after tellurium doping. Furthermore, the apparent size of the nanocomposites increases to 20 nm, but the crystal size of the core decreases slightly according to the broadened peaks of X-ray diffraction (XRD). Further investigation by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the binding energy of Pb-Br increases and Pb-Te bonds are formed in Te-doped samples, which can enhance the stability of QDs from the view of strengthening the chemical bonds and inhibiting the detaching behavior of bromine under moisture. At the nominal content of Pb/Te = 1:0.4, the thermal decomposition temperature of the QDs increases from 300 to 500 °C; the maximum of PL QY increases to 70% for the 1:0.4 sample and the relative PL peak intensity maintains 50% of the initial value after a 60 h aging simulation. Finally, the nanocomposite materials are fabricated into a white light-emitting device (WLED). Under the illumination of a commercial GaN chip, the device shows a good Commission Internationale de lEclairage (CIE) color coordination of (0.3291,0.3318).

Sr-Doping All-Inorganic CsPbBr3 Perovskite Thick Film for Self-Powered X-ray Detectors.

Project description:The all-inorganic perovskite cesium lead bromine (CsPbBr3) has attracted much attention in the field of X-ray detectors because of its high X-ray absorption coefficient, high carrier collection efficiency, and easy solution preparation. The low-cost anti-solvent method is the main method to prepare CsPbBr3; during this process, solvent volatilization will bring a large number of holes to the film, leading to the increase of defects. Based on the heteroatomic doping strategy, we propose that Pb2+ should be partially replaced by Sr2+ to prepare leadless all-inorganic perovskite. The introduction of Sr2+ promoted the ordered growth of CsPbBr3 in the vertical direction, increased the density and uniformity of the thick film, and achieved the goal of CsPbBr3 thick film repairing. In addition, the prepared CsPbBr3 and CsPbBr3:Sr X-ray detectors were self-powered without external bias, maintaining a stable response during on and off states at different X-ray dose rates. Furthermore, the detector base on 160 µm CsPbBr3:Sr had a sensitivity of 517.02 µC Gyair-1 cm-3 at zero bias under the dose rate of 0.955 µGy ms-1 and it obtained a fast response speed of 0.053-0.148 s. Our work provides a new opportunity to produce cost-effective and highly efficient self-powered perovskite X-ray detectors in a sustainable way.

Thickness-Dependent Dark-Bright Exciton Splitting and Phonon Bottleneck in CsPbBr3-Based Nanoplatelets Revealed via Magneto-Optical Spectroscopy.

Project description:The optimized exploitation of perovskite nanocrystals and nanoplatelets as highly efficient light sources requires a detailed understanding of the energy spacing within the exciton manifold. Dark exciton states are particularly relevant because they represent a channel that reduces radiative efficiency. Here, we apply large in-plane magnetic fields to brighten optically inactive states of CsPbBr3-based nanoplatelets for the first time. This approach allows us to access the dark states and directly determine the dark-bright splitting, which reaches 22 meV for the thinnest nanoplatelets. The splitting is significantly less for thicker nanoplatelets due to reduced exciton confinement. Additionally, the form of the magneto-PL spectrum suggests that dark and bright state populations are nonthermalized, which is indicative of a phonon bottleneck in the exciton relaxation process.

Enhancing the performance of LARP-synthesized CsPbBr3 nanocrystal LEDs by employing a dual hole injection layer.

Project description:Lead halide perovskites have been considered promising materials for optoelectronic applications owing to their superior properties. CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) with a narrow particle size distribution and a narrow emission spectrum are synthesized by ligand-assisted re-precipitation (LARP), a low-cost and facile process. In inverted CsPbBr3 NC LEDs, a dual hole injection layer (HIL) of 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN)/MoO3 is introduced to enhance hole injection and transport, because HAT-CN can extract electrons easily from the hole transport layer and leave a large number of holes there. The current and power efficiencies of the optimized device with a dual HIL are 1.5- and 1.8-fold higher than those of the single HIL device. It is believed that the dual HAT-CN/MoO3 HIL effectively promotes hole injection and has promise for application in many other devices.

Interfacial Doping of Heteroatom in Porous SnO2 for Highly Sensitive Surface Properties.

Project description:The design and synthesis of heteroatom-doping porous materials with unique surface/interfaces are of great significance for enhancing the sensitive surface performance in the fields of catalytic energy, especially gas sensor, CO oxidation, and ammonium perchlorate decomposition. Usually, the template method followed by a high-temperature calcination process is considered as the routes of choice in preparing ion-doped porous materials, but it requires extra templates and will undergo complicated steps. Here, we present a simple fusion/diffusion-controlled intermetallics-transformation method to synthesize various heteroatom-doping porous SnO2 only by changing the species of intermetallics. By this new method, Ni-doped popcornlike SnO2 with plenty of ∼30 nm pores and two kinds of Cu-doped SnO2 nanocages was successfully constructed. Phase-evolution investigations demonstrated that growth kinetics, diffusion, and solubility of the intermediates are highly related to the architecture of final products. Moreover, low-solid-solution limit of MO x (M: Ni, Cu) in SnO2 made the ion dope close to the surface to form a special surface/interfaces structure, and selective removal of MO x produce abundant pores to increase the surface area. As a consequence, Ni-doped composite exhibits higher sensitivity in formaldehyde detection with a relative low-operating temperature in a short response time (i.e., 23.7-50 ppm formaldehyde, 170 °C, and 5 s) and Cu-doped composites show excellent activity in decreasing the catalytic temperature of CO oxidation and ammonium perchlorate decomposition. The fusion/diffusion-controlled intermetallics-transformation method reported in this work could be readily adopted for the synthesis of other active heteroatom-doping porous materials for multipurpose uses.

A Three in One Strategy to Achieve Zirconium Doping, Boron Doping, and Interfacial Coating for Stable LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 Cathode.

Project description:LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes suffer from severe bulk structural and interfacial degradation during battery operation. To address these issues, a three in one strategy using ZrB2 as the dopant is proposed for constructing a stable Ni-rich cathode. In this strategy, Zr and B are doped into the bulk of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, respectively, which is beneficial to stabilize the crystal structure and mitigate the microcracks. Meanwhile, during the high-temperature calcination, some of the remaining Zr at the surface combined with the surface lithium source to form lithium zirconium coatings, which physically protect the surface and suppress the interfacial phase transition upon cycling. Thus, the 0.2 mol% ZrB2-LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode delivers a discharge capacity of 183.1 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 50 °C (1C, 3.0-4.3 V), with an outstanding capacity retention of 88.1%. The cycling stability improvement is more obvious when the cut-off voltage increased to 4.4 V. Density functional theory confirms that the superior structural stability and excellent thermal stability are attributed to the higher exchange energy of Li/Ni exchange and the higher formation energy of oxygen vacancies by ZrB2 doping. The present work offers a three in one strategy to simultaneously stabilize the crystal structure and surface for the Ni-rich cathode via a facile preparation process.
