Researchers are becoming more interested in novel barium-nitride-chloride (Ba3NCl3) hybrid perovskite solar cells (HPSCs) due to their remarkable semiconductor properties. An electron transport layer (ETL) built from TiO2 and a hole transport layer (HTL) made of CuI have been studied in Ba3NCl3-based single junction photovoltaic cells in a variety of variations. Through extensive numerical analysis using SCAPS-1D simulation software, we investigated elements such as layer thickness, defect density, doping concentration, interface defect density, carrier concentration, generation, recombination, temperature, series and shunt resistance, open circuit voltage (V OC), short circuit current (J SC), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE). The study found that the HTL CuI design reached the highest PCE at 30.47% with a V OC of 1.0649 V, a J SC of 38.2609 mA cm-2, and an FF of 74.78%. These findings offer useful data and a practical plan for producing inexpensive, Ba3NCl3-based thin-film solar cells.

Doping Up the Light: A Review of A/B-Site Doping in Metal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for Next-Generation LEDs

All-inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) show great potential for the next generation of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, trap-assisted recombination negatively impacts the optoelectronic properties of PeNCs and prevents their widespread adoption for commercial exploitation. To mitigate trap-assisted recombination and further enhance the external quantum efficiency of PeLEDs, A/B-site doping has been widely investigated to tune the bandgap of PeNCs. The bandgap of PeNCs is adjustable within a small range (no more than 0.1 eV) by A-site cation doping, resulting in changes in the bond length of Pb-X and the angle of [PbX6]4. Nevertheless, B-site doping of PeNCs has a more significant impact on the bandgap level through modification of surface defect states. In this perspective, we delve into the synthesis of PeNCs with A/B-site doping and their impacts on the structural and optoelectronic properties, as well as their impacts on the performance of subsequent PeLEDs. Furthermore, we explore the A-site and B-site doping mechanisms and the impact of device architecture on doped PeNCs to maximize the performance and stability of PeLEDs. This work presents a comprehensive overview of the studies on A-site and B-site doping in PeNCs and approaches to unlock their full potential in the next generation of LEDs.

Design and Optimization of High-Performance Novel RbPbBr3-Based Solar Cells with Wide-Band-Gap S-Chalcogenide Electron Transport Layers (ETLs)

Inorganic cubic rubidium-lead-halide perovskites have attracted considerable attention owing to their structural, electronic, and unique optical properties. In this study, novel rubidium-lead-bromide (RbPbBr3)-based hybrid perovskite solar cells (HPSCs) with several high-band-gap chalcogenide electron transport layers (ETLs) of In2S3, WS2, and SnS2 were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and using the SCAPS-1D simulator. Initially, the band gap and optical performance were computed using DFT, and these results were utilized for the first time in the SCAPS-1D simulator. Furthermore, the impact of different major influencing parameters, that is, the thickness of the layer, bulk defect density, doping concentration, and defect density of interfaces, including the working temperature, were also investigated and unveiled. Further, a study on an optimized device with the most potential ETL (SnS2) layer was performed systematically. Finally, a comparative study of different reported heterostructures was performed to explore the benchmark of the most recent efficient RbPbBr3-based photovoltaics. The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) was 29.75% for the SnS2 ETL with Voc of 0.9789 V, Jsc of 34.57863 mA cm-2, and fill factor (FF) of 87.91%, while the PCEs of 21.15 and 24.57% were obtained for In2S3 and WS2 ETLs, respectively. The electron-hole generation, recombination rates, and quantum efficiency (QE) characteristics were also investigated in detail. Thus, the SnS2 ETL shows strong potential for use in RbPbBr3-based hybrid perovskite high-performance photovoltaic devices.

Probing compositional engineering effects on lead-free perovskite-inspired nanocrystal thin films using correlative nonlinear optical microscopy

We introduce the use of correlative third-harmonic generation and multiphoton-induced luminescence microscopy to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) doping on bismuth (Bi)-based perovskite-inspired nanocrystal thin films. The technique was found to be extremely sensitive to the microscopic features of the perovskite film and its structural compositions, allowing the unambiguous detection of compositionally different emitters in the perovskite film and manipulation of their nonlinear optical responses. Our work unveils a new way to investigate, manipulate, and exploit perovskite-inspired functional materials for nonlinear optical conversion at the nanoscale.

Lead-Free Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for Light-Emitting Diodes

Lead-based halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) have demonstrated remarkable potential for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This is because of their high photoluminescence quantum yield, defect tolerance, tunable emission wavelength, color purity, and high device efficiency. However, the environmental toxicity of Pb has impeded their commercial viability owing to the restriction of hazardous substances directive. Therefore, Pb-free PeNCs have emerged as a promising solution for the development of eco-friendly LEDs. This review article presents a detailed analysis of the various compositions of Pb-free PeNCs, including tin-, bismuth-, antimony-, and copper-based perovskites and double perovskites, focusing on their stability, optoelectronic properties, and device performance in LEDs. Furthermore, we address the challenges encountered in using Pb-free PeNC-LEDs and discuss the prospects and potential of these Pb-free PeNCs as sustainable alternatives to lead-based PeLEDs. In this review, we aim to shed light on the current state of Pb-free PeNC LEDs and highlight their significance in driving the development of eco-friendly LED technologies.

Room-Temperature Doping of CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals with Aluminum

B-site doping is an emerging strategy for tuning the emission wavelength of cesium lead halide ABX₃ nanocrystals. We present a simple method for the postsynthetic doping of CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals with aluminum at room temperature by exposing them to a solution of AlBr₃ in dibromomethane. Despite the much smaller ionic radius of Al³⁺ compared to that of Pb²⁺, nominal doping levels in a range from 8.1% to 24.3% were obtained when increasing the Al/Pb feed ratio from 1 to 4.5. Al³⁺ introduction leads to a hypsochromic shift of the photoluminescence (PL) emission of the CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals. The PL peak position is highly stable over at least 6 months and tunable in a range of 510 to 480 nm by increasing the doping level. Structural analyses revealed a linear correlation between the PL energy and the lattice parameter with a slope of -1.96 eV/Å.

In situ preparation of Mn-doped perovskite nanocrystalline films and application to white light emitting devices

Mn-doped perovskite nanocrystals have promised new optoelectronic applications due to their unique material properties. In the present study, Mn-doped perovskite nanocrystalline films were prepared in situ in a polymer matrix. The Mn-doped perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) had good crystallinity and uniform size/spatial distributions in the polymer film. Bright dual-color emission and the long lifetime of the excited state of the dopant were observed from the host exciton and the Mn²⁺ dopant, respectively. Furthermore, magnetism was observed in the optimal Mn²⁺ concentration, implying that magnetic coupling was achieved in the Mn-doped perovskite lattice. The Mn-doped perovskite films also showed superior stability against moisture. To demonstrate the practicality of this composite film, a white light emitting device was fabricated by combining a single composite film with a blue light emitting diode; the device showed a high-quality white light emission, and the Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinate of the white light emitting diode (WLED) (0.361, 0.326) was close to the optimal white color index. In this single-layer WLED, self-absorption among the luminous multilayers in traditional white light emitting diodes can be avoided. The study findings revealed that Mn-doped perovskite nanocrystalline films have many exciting properties, which bodes well for the fundamental study and design of high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Recent Advances in Ligand Design and Engineering in Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) have recently garnered enhanced development efforts from research disciplines owing to their superior optical and optoelectronic properties. These materials, however, are unlike conventional quantum dots, because they possess strong ionic character, labile ligand coverage, and overall stability issues. As a result, the system as a whole is highly dynamic and can be affected by slight changes of particle surface environment. Specifically, the surface ligand shell of LHP NCs has proven to play imperative roles throughout the lifetime of a LHP NC. Recent advances in engineering and understanding the roles of surface ligand shells from initial synthesis, through postsynthetic processing and device integration, finally to application performances of colloidal LHP NCs are covered here.

Manganese Doping Promotes the Synthesis of Bismuth-based Perovskite Nanocrystals While Tuning Their Band Structures

The doping of halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with manganese cations (Mn²⁺ ) has recently enabled enhanced stability, novel optical properties, and modulated charge carrier dynamics of the NCs host. However, the influence of Mn doping on the synthetic routes and the band structures of the host has not yet been elucidated. Herein, it is demonstrated that Mn doping promotes a facile, safe, and low-hazard path toward the synthesis of ternary Cs₃ Bi₂ I₉ NCs by effectively inhibiting the impurity phase (i.e., CsI) resulting from the decomposition of the intermediate Cs₃ BiI₆ product. Furthermore, it is observed that the deepening of the valence band level of the host NCs upon doping at Mn concentration levels varying from 0 to 18.5% (atomic ratio) with respect to the Bi content. As a result, the corresponding Mn-doped NCs solar cells show a higher open-circuit voltage and longer electron lifetime than those employing the undoped perovskite NCs. This work opens new insights on the role of Mn doping in the synthetic route and optoelectronic properties of lead-free halide perovskite NCs for still unexplored applications.

Precise Ligand Tuning Emission of Mn-Doped CsPbCl3 Nanocrystals by the Amount of Sulfonates

Using Mn-doped CsPbCl₃ nanocrystals (Mn:CsPbCl₃ NCs) to improve perovskite's properties is becoming an important strategy. Here, we demonstrate a modified supersaturated recrystallization route to synthesize high-quality Mn:CsPbCl₃ NCs at room temperature. Unprecedentedly, sulfonate ligands with various concentrations are shown to successfully tune the dual-color emission of Mn:CsPbCl₃ NCs. Ultrafast transient absorption studies reveal that the host-to-dopant internal energy-transfer process involves the mediated traps. Interestingly, the dual-color emission is tuned via stabilizing mediated traps with a small amount of ligand (band edge (BE) emission reduces and Mn²⁺ emission increases), passivating the deep traps with a large amount of ligand (Mn²⁺ emission increases), and destroying Mn:CsPbCl₃ NCs with too much ligand (both BE and Mn²⁺ emission is quenched). Furthermore, the ligand tuning Mn²⁺ emission exhibits quenching for Cu²⁺ with high sensitivity and selectivity. Our work provides a new strategy to tune the optical properties of Mn:CsPbCl₃ NCs and presents its potential application in an optical detector.

Synthesis of lead-free Cs4(Cd1-xMnx)Bi2Cl12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) layered double perovskite nanocrystals with controlled Mn-Mn coupling interaction

Lead-free perovskites and their analogues have been extensively studied as a class of next-generation luminescent and optoelectronic materials. Herein, we report the synthesis of new colloidal Cs4M(ii)Bi2Cl12 (M(ii) = Cd, Mn) nanocrystals (NCs) with unique luminescence properties. The obtained Cs4M(ii)Bi2Cl12 NCs show a layered double perovskite (LDP) crystal structure with good particle stability. Density functional theory calculations show that both samples exhibit a wide, direct bandgap feature. Remarkably, the strong Mn-Mn coupling effect of the Cs4M(ii)Bi2Cl12 NCs results in an ultra-short Mn photoluminescence (PL) decay lifetime of around 10 μs, around two orders of magnitude faster than commonly observed Mn2+ dopant emission in NCs. Diluting the Mn2+ ion concentration through forming Cs4(Cd1-xMnx)Bi2Cl12 (0 < x < 1) alloyed LDP NCs leads to prolonged PL lifetimes and enhanced PL quantum yields. Our study provides the first synthetic example of Bi-based LDP colloidal NCs with potential for serving as a new category of stable lead-free perovskite-type materials for various applications.

Pressure-Engineered Optical and Charge Transport Properties of Mn2+/Cu2+ Codoped CsPbCl3 Perovskite Nanocrystals via Structural Progression

In this work, compared with the corresponding pure CsPbCl₃ nanocrystals (NCs) and Mn²⁺-doped CsPbCl₃ NCs, Mn²⁺/Cu²⁺-codoped CsPbCl₃ NCs exhibited improved photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) (57.6%), prolonged PL lifetimes (1.78 ms), and enhanced thermal endurance (523 K) as a result of efficient Mn²⁺ doping (3.66%) induced by the addition of CuCl₂. Furthermore, we applied pressure on Mn²⁺/Cu²⁺-codoped CsPbCl₃ NCs to reveal that a red shift of photoluminescence followed by a blue shift was caused by band gap evolution and related to the structural phase transition from cubic to orthorhombic. Moreover, we also found that under the preheating condition of 523 K, such phase transition exhibited obvious morphological invariance, accompanied by significantly enhanced conductivity. The pressure applied to the products treated with high temperature enlarged the electrical difference and easily intensified the interface by closer packaging. Interestingly, defect-triggered mixed ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) was observed in annealed NCs when the applied pressure was 2.9 GPa. The pressure-dependent ionic conduction was closely related to local nanocrystal amorphization and increased deviatoric stress, as clearly described by in situ impedance spectra. Finally, retrieved products exhibited better conductivity (improved by 5-6 times) and enhanced photoelectric response than those when pressure was not applied. Our findings not only reveal the pressure-tuned optical and electrical properties via structural progression but also open up the promising exploration of more amorphous all-inorganic CsPbX₃-based photoelectric applications.

Cation-doping matters in caesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals: from physicochemical fundamentals to optoelectronic applications

All-inorganic caesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) with different dimensionalities have recently fascinated the research community due to their extraordinary optoelectronic properties including tunable bandgaps over the entire visible spectral region, high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) close to unity and narrow emission line widths down to 10-20 nm, making them particularly suitable as promising candidates for numerous applications ranging from light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells to scintillators. Despite the considerable progress made in the past six years, the real-world applications of caesium lead halide PeNCs themselves especially in the category of CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br and I) are still restricted by their labile crystal lattices and downgraded luminescence when exposed to ambient air conditions. Recent experimental and theoretical studies on cation doping have proven to be an effective way to significantly improve the physicochemical properties of cesium lead halide PeNCs, which would have profound implications for a range of applications. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the most recent advances in cation-doped all-inorganic caesium lead halide PeNCs, aimed at developing high-performance and long-term stable optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, which covers areas from their fundamental considerations of cation doping, controlled synthesis methodology and novel physicochemical properties to the optoelectronic applications with an emphasis on perovskite-based LEDs and solar cells. And finally, some possible directions of future efforts toward this active research field are also proposed.

CsPbBr3@CsPbBr3-x Cl x Perovskite Core-Shell Heterojunction Nanowires via a Postsynthetic Method with HCl Gas

CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising materials due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. This work shows a successful anion exchange reaction in CsPbBr₃ nanowire (NW) systems with HCl gas resulting in a blue-green light-emitting CsPbBr₃@CsPbBr_3-x Cl _x core-shell heterojunction. By adjusting the reaction time and the reaction temperature, the structure and light emission of the NWs can be adjusted. The core-shell heterojunction NCs are stably luminescent in 24 h. The rational mechanism of anion exchange in perovskite NCs is also investigated. The work highlights the feasibility of NWs heterogeneously prepared under the HC1 gas atmosphere, which provides a new strategy for studying the two- and multicolor luminescent perovskite NCs.

Light-Driven Halide Exchange Facilitates Complete Crystal Transformation in Nanostructured Perovskites

Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have shown promise in visible and near-infrared light emission compared with conventional quantum dots because of their sharp and highly efficient emission. Light-driven halide exchange offers high degrees of tunability of perovskite NC composition and photoluminescence properties. A remaining challenge is the incomplete change between bromide and chloride due to the presence of radical quenchers. Herein, an optimized in situ halide exchange method of perovskite NCs is reported. Chloroform is used as the solvent and the precursor to effectively generate halide radicals and ions under ultraviolet light irradiation in an inert atmosphere. This strategy achieves complete crystal transformation in colloidal perovskite NCs such as CsPbBr₃-to-CsPbCl₃ and Cs₄PbBr₆-to-CsPbCl₃. The exchange reaction rate can be further tuned by the presence of B-site dopants such as Zn²⁺ and Ce³⁺. The dopant cations are partially remained in the exchanged perovskite NCs, indicating the predominance of thermodynamic control in the crystal transformation.

α-CsPbI3 Nanocrystals by Ultraviolet Light-Driven Oriented Attachment

Size and crystallinity of building units in the perovskite layer are of great significance to photovoltaic performance. Thus, to fabricate large-grain-size perovskite materials with the advantage of good crystallinity is quite necessary. The oriented attachment strategy has been proofed as an efficient method to control crystal growth. Herein, we reported on oriented attachment of α-CsPbI₃ quantum dots (QDs) into a large-grain-size nanocrystal under moderate ultraviolet (UV) light. By virtue of atomic-resolution TEM and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, we observed the UV-directed structure-evolution and growth process. This is trigged by UV-light illumination (7 W, 365 nm), which drives the oriented assembly of QDs into a large nanoparticle along {110} facets. Moreover, we also visualized a damage process of the α-CsPbI₃ QDs to photoinactive-δ-phase ones and finally into PbI₂ under high-power UV-light (100 W, 365 nm) exposure. The findings provide a prototype for fabricating large-size perovskite nanostructures with promising properties.

Doping and ion substitution in colloidal metal halide perovskite nanocrystals

The past decade has witnessed tremendous advances in synthesis of metal halide perovskites and their use for a rich variety of optoelectronics applications. Metal halide perovskite has the general formula ABX3, where A is a monovalent cation (which can be either organic (e.g., CH3NH3+ (MA), CH(NH2)2+ (FA)) or inorganic (e.g., Cs+)), B is a divalent metal cation (usually Pb2+), and X is a halogen anion (Cl-, Br-, I-). Particularly, the photoluminescence (PL) properties of metal halide perovskites have garnered much attention due to the recent rapid development of perovskite nanocrystals. The introduction of capping ligands enables the synthesis of colloidal perovskite nanocrystals which offer new insight into dimension-dependent physical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. It is notable that doping and ion substitution represent effective strategies for tailoring the optoelectronic properties (e.g., absorption band gap, PL emission, and quantum yield (QY)) and stabilities of perovskite nanocrystals. The doping and ion substitution processes can be performed during or after the synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals by incorporating new A', B', or X' site ions into the A, B, or X sites of ABX3 perovskites. Interestingly, both isovalent and heterovalent doping and ion substitution can be conducted on colloidal perovskite nanocrystals. In this review, the general background of perovskite nanocrystals synthesis is first introduced. The effects of A-site, B-site, and X-site ionic doping and substitution on the optoelectronic properties and stabilities of colloidal metal halide perovskite nanocrystals are then detailed. Finally, possible applications and future research directions of doped and ion-substituted colloidal perovskite nanocrystals are also discussed.

Energetic hot electrons from exciton-to-hot electron upconversion in Mn-doped semiconductor nanocrystals

Generation of hot electrons and their utilization in photoinduced chemical processes have been the subjects of intense research in recent years mostly exploring hot electrons in plasmonic metal nanostructures created via decay of optically excited plasmon. Here, we present recent progress made in generation and utilization of a different type of hot electrons produced via biphotonic exciton-to-hot electron "upconversion" in Mn-doped semiconductor nanocrystals. Compared to the plasmonic hot electrons, those produced via biphotonic upconversion in Mn-doped semiconductor nanocrystals possess much higher energy, enabling more efficient long-range electron transfer across the high energy barrier. They can even be ejected above the vacuum level creating photoelectrons, which can possibly produce solvated electrons. Despite the biphotonic nature of the upconversion process, hot electrons can be generated with weak cw excitation equivalent to the concentrated solar radiation without requiring intense or high-energy photons. This perspective reviews recent work elucidating the mechanism of generating energetic hot electrons in Mn-doped semiconductor nanocrystals, detection of these hot electrons as photocurrent or photoelectron emission, and their utilization in chemical processes such as photocatalysis. New opportunities that the energetic hot electrons can open by creating solvated electrons, which can be viewed as the longer-lived and mobile version of hot electrons more useful for chemical processes, and the challenges in practical utilization of energetic hot electrons are also discussed.

Tunable photoluminescence and an enhanced photoelectric response of Mn2+-doped CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals via pressure-induced structure evolution

Mn²⁺:CsPbCl₃ nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized using a modified one-pot injection method, which exhibits significantly improved thermal stability. For the first time, the pressure-treated optical and structural properties of synthetic Mn²⁺:CsPbCl₃ NCs were further investigated, and their associated intriguing electrical and photoelectric properties were revealed from impedance spectra and photocurrent measurements under compression. The pressure-dependent photoluminescence experienced an initial redshift before 1.7 GPa followed by a continuous blueshift, as evidenced by the bandgap shifts. High-pressure XRD spectra uncovered a cubic-to-orthorhombic structural transition at about 1.1 GPa and subsequent amorphization upon further compression, which was fully reversible. Furthermore, the sample annealing from 340 K drove grain growth and decreased grain boundary resistance at ambient pressure. The compression further decreased the grain boundary barrier and improved the electrical conductivity (up to ∼10^-2Ω^-1 cm^-1) of the thermally annealed Mn²⁺:CsPbCl₃ NC surface. Simultaneous photocurrent enhancement of thermally annealed NCs was also achieved as expected, and reached optimal performance at 0.7 GPa. Strikingly, after the pressure cycling (loading-releasing), the results show that thermally annealed Mn²⁺:CsPbCl₃ NCs gained preservable higher electrical conductivity (∼10 times increase) and an improved photoelectric response compared to the ambient state before compression. This work proves that high pressure is useful for opening the versatility in the structure and properties of metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals leading to a promising way for superior optoelectronic materials-by-design.
