How to improve the structural stabilities of halide perovskite quantum dots: review of various strategies to enhance the structural stabilities of halide perovskite quantum dots. NANO CONVERGENCE 2024; 11:4. [PMID: 38279984 PMCID: PMC10821855 DOI: 10.1186/s40580-024-00412-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
Halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for various optoelectronic devices because of their excellent optical and electrical properties. In particular, halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have garnered considerable attention as emissive materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) because of their higher color purities and photoluminescence quantum yields compared to conventional inorganic quantum dots (CdSe, ZnSe, ZnS, etc.). However, PQDs exhibit poor structural stabilities in response to external stimuli (moisture, heat, etc.) owing to their inherent ionic nature. This review presents recent research trends and insights into improving the structural stabilities of PQDs. In addition, the origins of the poor structural stabilities of PQDs and various methods to overcome this drawback are discussed. The structural degradation of PQDs is mainly caused by two mechanisms: (1) defect formation on the surface of the PQDs by ligand dissociation (i.e., detachment of weakly bound ligands from the surface of PQDs), and (2) vacancy formation by halide migration in the lattices of the PQDs due to the low migration energy of halide ions. The structural stabilities of PQDs can be improved through four methods: (1) ligand modification, (2) core-shell structure, (3) crosslinking, and (4) metal doping, all of which are presented in detail herein. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the structural stabilities and opto-electrical properties of PQDs and is expected to contribute to future research on improving the device performance of perovskite quantum dot LEDs (PeLEDs).

Abstract
The excited state dynamics of ligand-passivated PbBr2 molecular clusters (MCs) in solution have been investigated for the first time using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The results uncover a transient bleach (TB) feature peaked around 404 nm, matching the ground state electronic absorption band peaked at 404 nm. The TB recovery signal can be fitted with a triple exponential with fast (10 ps), medium (350 ps), and long (1.8 ns) time constants. The medium and long time constants are very similar to those observed in the time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) decay monitored at 412 nm. The TB fast component is attributed to vibrational relaxation in the excited electronic state while the medium component with dominant amplitude is attributed to recombination between the relaxed electron and hole. The small amplitude slow component is assigned to electrons in a relatively long-lived excited electronic state, e.g., triplet state, or shallow trap state due to defects. This study provides new insights into the excited state dynamics of metal halide MCs.

Abstract
Triplet exciton-based long-lived phosphorescence is severely limited by the thermal quenching at high temperature. Herein, we propose a novel strategy based on the energy transfer from triplet self-trapped excitons to Mn2+ dopants in solution-processed perovskite CsCdCl3 . It is found the Mn2+ doped hexagonal phase CsCdCl3 could simultaneously exhibit high emission efficiency (81.5 %) and long afterglow duration time (150 s). Besides, the afterglow emission exhibits anti-thermal quenching from 300 to 400 K. In-depth charge-carrier dynamics studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculation provide unambiguous evidence that carrier detrapping from trap states (mainly induced by Cl vacancy) to localized emission centers ([MnCl6 ]4- ) is responsible for the afterglow emission with anti-thermal quenching. Enlightened by the present results, we demonstrate the application of the developed materials for optical storage and logic operation applications.

Abstract
Manipulation of intrinsic carrier relaxation is crucial for designing efficient lead halide perovskite nanocrystal (NC) based optoelectronic devices. The influence of heterovalent Bi3+ doping on the ultrafast carrier dynamics and hot carrier (HC) cooling relaxation of CsPbBr3 NCs has been studied using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. The initial HC temperature and LO phonon decay time point to a faster HC relaxation rate in the Bi3+-doped CsPbBr3 NCs. The first-principles calculations disclose the acceleration of carrier relaxation in Bi3+-doped CsPbBr3 NCs due to the appearance of localized bands (antitrap states) within the conduction band. The higher Born effective charges (Z*) and higher soft energetic optical phonon density of states cause higher electron-phonon scattering rates in the Bi-doped CsPbBr3 system, which is responsible for the faster HC cooling rate in doped systems.

Abstract
Hot carrier (HC) cooling accounts for the significant energy loss in lead halide perovskite (LHP) solar cells. Here, we study HC relaxation dynamics in Mn-doped LHP CsPbI3 nanocrystals (NCs), combining transient absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We demonstrate that Mn2+ doping (1) enlarges the longitudinal optical (LO)-acoustic phonon bandgap, (2) enhances the electron-LO phonon coupling strength, and (3) adds HC relaxation pathways via Mn orbitals within the bands. The spectroscopic study shows that the HC cooling process is decelerated after doping under band-edge excitation due to the dominant phonon bandgap enlargement. When the excitation photon energy is larger than the optical bandgap and the Mn2+ transition gap, the doping accelerates the cooling rate owing to the dominant effect of enhanced carrier-phonon coupling and relaxation pathways. We demonstrate that such a phenomenon is optimal for the application of hot carrier solar cells. The enhanced electron-LO phonon coupling and accelerated cooling of high-temperature hot carriers efficiently establish a high-temperature thermal quasi-equilibrium where the excessive energy of the hot carriers is transferred to heat the cold carriers. On the other hand, the enlarged phononic band-gap prevents further cooling of such a quasi-equilibrium, which facilitates the energy conversion process. Our results manifest a straightforward methodology to optimize the HC dynamics for hot carrier solar cells by element doping.

Abstract
Rare-earth ion (RE3+) doping in cesium lead chloride (CsPbCl3) has unlocked novel prospects to explore changes in optical, magnetic, and charge carrier transport properties. This leads to a huge advancement in optoelectronic applications, yet deep understanding of the photophysics governing the energy transfer processes is lacking and demands vital attention. Herein, we probe into the mechanistic transfer processes from the band edge of the host (CsPbCl3) to the dopant europium ion (Eu3+) with the aid of femtosecond fluorescence upconversion and transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The upconversion measurement portrays a defect-mediated cascading energy transfer from CsPbCl3 to Eu3+ and further cross-relaxation among Eu3+ states. Moreover, TA studies reveal that there is charge transfer from the band edge of CsPbCl3 to doping-induced shallow defect states. Furthermore, two-photon absorption study establishes no compromise in the transfer mechanism even upon bandgap excitation. This work validates that Eu-CsPbCl3 is an apt entrant for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
For inorganic semiconductor nanostructure, excitons in the triplet states are known as the "dark exciton" with poor emitting properties, because of the spin-forbidden transition. Herein, we report a design principle to boost triplet excitons photoluminescence (PL) in all-inorganic lead-free double-perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). Our experimental data reveal that singlet self-trapped excitons (STEs) experience fast intersystem crossing (80 ps) to triplet states. These triplet STEs give bright green color emission with unity PL quantum yield (PLQY). Furthermore, efficient energy transfer from triplet STEs to dopants (Mn2+) can be achieved, which leads to white-light emitting with 87% PLQY in both colloidal and solid thin film NCs. These findings illustrate a fundamental principle to design efficient white-light emitting inorganic phosphors, propelling the development of illumination-related applications.

Abstract
Herein, we develop an effective approach for incorporating lead (Pb) ions into manganese (Mn) halide perovskite-analogue nanocrystals (PA NCs) of CsMn(Cl/Br)3·2H2O via room-temperature supersaturation recrystallization. Pb2+-incorporated Mn-PA NCs exhibit strong orange emission upon UV light illumination, a peak centered at 600 nm assigned to Mn2+ transition (4T1g → 6A1g) with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 41.8% compared to the pristine Mn-PA NCs with very weak PL (PLQY = 0.10%). The significant enhancement of PLQY is attributed to the formation of [Mn(Cl/Br)4(OH)2]4--[Pb(Cl/Br)4(OH)2]4--[Mn(Cl/Br)4(OH)2]4- chain network structure, in which Pb2+ effectively dilutes the Mn2+ concentration to reduce magnetic coupling between Mn2+ pairs to relax the spin and parity selection rules. In addition, excited energy can effectively transfer from the [Pb(Cl/Br)4(OH)2]4- unit to Mn2+ luminescence centers owing to the low activation energy. Pb2+-incorporated PA NCs also exhibit excellent stability. The combined strong PL and high stability make Pb2+-incorporated Mn-based PA NCs an excellent candidate for potential optronic applications.

Abstract
Lead-free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have received increasing attention owing to their low toxicity and high stability. Localized charge distribution and strong carrier-phonon coupling in lead-free perovskite NCs facilitates the formation of self-trapped excitons (STEs), which typically give a broadband photoluminescence (PL) emission with a large Stokes shift. In this Perspective, we highlight how PL modulations can give rise to an efficient white-light emission by understanding and tuning the ultrafast dynamics of STEs in lead-free perovskite NCs. We then present the exciton energy transfer mediated by STEs to provide an efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence and dopant PL. We also illustrate promising directions for future applications based on STEs. We hope that this Perspective can provide a new viewpoint for researchers to understand the ultrafast dynamics of STEs and promote lead-free perovskite NCs for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
The colloidal synthesis of a new type of lead-free halide quadruple-perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) is reported. The photoluminescence quantum yield and charge-carrier lifetime of quadruple-perovskite NCs can be enhanced by 96 and 77-fold, respectively, via metal alloying. Study of charge-carrier dynamics provide solid demonstrate that the PL enhancement is due to the elimination of ultrafast (1.4 ps) charge-carrier trapping processes in the alloyed NCs. Thanks to the high crystallinity, low trap-state density, and long carrier lifetime (193.4 μs), the alloyed quadruple-perovskite NCs can serve as the active material for high-performance photodetectors, which exhibit high responsivity (up to 0.98 × 104 A W-1 ) and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 3 × 106 %. These numbers are among the highest for perovskite-NC-based photodetectors.
