Full-Color Circularly Polarized Luminescence of CsPbX3 Nanocrystals Triggered by Chiral Carbon Dots

Chiral carbon dots (Ch-CDs) trigger the full-color circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of CsPbX3 nanocrystals (NCs). Ch-CDs-CsPbBr3 NCs are successfully synthesized via simple ligand-assisted coprecipitation of Ch-CDs and metal halides precursors at room temperature. Ch-CDs-CsPbBr3 retains emission characteristics of the CsPbBr3 with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield, and meanwhile has special CPL, with a maximum luminescence dissymmetric factor (g(lum)) of -3.1 x 10(-3), which is induced by Ch-CDs. This is the first report of chiral perovskite which is induced by other chiral nanomaterials. By anion exchange, CPL can cover almost the entire visible light band. Surprisingly, the chiral signal of Ch-CDs-CsPbBr3 NCs is in-versed under excitation state, which can be induced by the charge transfers between Ch-CDs and perovskite NCs. The combination of perovskites and Ch-CDs pave away for the design of new chiral perovskite on multifunctional applications.
