Abstract Achieving good stability while maintaining excellent properties is one of the main challenges for enhancing competitiveness luminescent perovskite CsPbX 3 (X=Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs). Here, we propose a facile strategy to synthesize ceramic-like stable and highly CsPbBr NCs by encapsulating them into silica derived from molecular sieve templates at high temperature (600–900 o C). The obtained -SiO 2 powders not only show photoluminescence quantum yield (~71%), but also an...
Light-emitting diodes based on perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs-LEDs) have gained great interest for next-generation display and lighting technologies prized their color purity, high brightness, luminous efficiency which approach the intrinsic limit imposed by light extraction from device structure. Although time is ripe development of effective outcoupling strategies to further boost performance, this technologically relevant aspect PNC-LEDs still without a definitive solution. Here, following...

However, endowing a single device with all features remains challenge. Here we present rational material design strategy simple device-manufacturing process for skin-conformable perovskite-based alternating-current electroluminescent (PeACEL) devices. These devices exhibit narrow bandwidth...
Multicolor tuning of persistent luminescence has been extensively studied by deliberately integrating various luminescent units, known as activators or chromophores, into certain host compounds. However, it remains a formidable challenge to fine-tune the spectra either in organic materials, such small molecules, polymers, metal-organic complexes and carbon dots, doped inorganic crystals. Herein, we present strategy delicately control wavelength engineering sub-bandgap donor-acceptor states...

Hydrochromic materials characterized by noticeable color change upon water exposure have attracted pervasive attention for their frontier applications in sensing and information technologies. However, existing hydrochromic typically suffer from a slow response as well limited stability tunability. This work describes novel perovskite crystal composed of zero-dimensional Cs3TbF6:Eu3+, which displays switchable luminescence due to the constituent Tb3+ Eu3+ ions. Mechanistic investigation...

Perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) as promising narrow green emitters are widely studied, and many colloidal synthetic methods have been developed. However, large amounts of expensive toxic organic solvents consumed in synthesis.

Abstract For the display applications of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), emission linewidth, and operational stability are main parameters that directly affect performance optoelectronic device. High‐temperature solid‐state synthesis has been regarded as an eco‐friendlier process to prepare NCs than colloidal synthesis. However, it is relatively difficult control sizes size distribution at high temperatures, which usually results in a lower PLQY wider...

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals as promising ultrapure emitters are outstanding candidates for next-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and display applications, but the thermal quenching behavior of light emission has severely hampered their real-world applications. Here, we report an anion passivation strategy to suppress CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. By treating with specific anions (such SO42-, OH-, F- ions), corresponding wide-bandgap layers, PbSO4, Pb(OH)2, PbF2, were obtained. They...

The thermal quenching behavior (temperature-dependent luminescence) has severely hindered the practical applications of CsPbX3 nanocrystals. Here, we find that a simple surface treatment using ammonium hexafluorosilicate (AHFS, (NH4)2SiF6) can drastically reduce CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (CPB-NCs) while enhancing their photostability. AHFS-treated sample sustains 90% its original emission intensity as temperature rises to 353 K, which is much better than (17%) pristine sample. Meanwhile,...
