A strategy was proposed for the synthesis and purification of Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite nanocrystals, which remained stable even after washing with a polar solvent. The chemical and colloidal stability of Cs2AgBiBr6 was significantly improved by the efficient colloidal route involving stable precursors. Additionally, a compact and crack-free thin film of Cs2AgBiBr6 nanocrystals was successfully fabricated using a layer-by-layer solid-state ligand exchange technique, and perovskite solar cells were fabricated and tested.
Recently developed lead-free double perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have been proposed for the possible application in solution-processed optoelectronic devices. However, the optoelectronic applications of double perovskite NCs have been hampered due to the structural and chemical instability in the presence of polar molecules. Here, we report a facile strategy for the synthesis and purification of Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite NCs that remained stable even after washing with polar solvent. This is realized with our efficient colloidal route to synthesize Cs2AgBiBr6 NCs that involve stable and strongly coordinated precursor such as silver-trioctylphosphine complex together with bismuth neodecanoate, which leads to a significantly improved chemical and colloidal stability. Using layer-by-layer solid-state ligand exchange technique, a compact and crack-free thin film of Cs2AgBiBr6 NCs were fabricated. Finally, perovskite solar cells consisting of Cs2AgBiBr6 as an absorber layer were fabricated and tested.
