This study presents a method to prepare stable pure red emission and high-PLQY-mixed-halide perovskite nanocrystals through simultaneous halide-exchange and ligand-exchange. By introducing ZnI2 for anion exchange, CsPbBr3 nanocrystals can be transformed to CsPbBrxI3-x nanocrystals. The luminescence properties can be regulated by the ZnI2 exchange process, allowing the fabrication of red CsPbBrxI3-x nanocrystals with near-unity PLQY and a stable emission peak.
All-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) of CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) are promising for displays due to wide color gamut, narrow emission bandwidth, and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). However, pure red perovskite NCs prepared by mixing halide ions often result in defects and spectral instabilities. We demonstrate a method to prepare stable pure red emission and high-PLQY-mixed-halide perovskite NCs through simultaneous halide-exchange and ligand-exchange. CsPbBr3 NCs with surface organic ligands are first synthesized using the ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) method, and then ZnI2 is introduced for anion exchange to transform CsPbBr3 to CsPbBrxI3-x NCs. ZnI2 not only provides iodine ions but also acts as an inorganic ligand to passivate surface defects and prevent ion migration, suppressing non-radiative losses and halide segregation. The luminescence properties of CsPbBrxI3-x NCs depend on the ZnI2 content. By regulating the ZnI2 exchange process, red CsPbBrxI3-x NCs with organic/inorganic hybrid ligands achieve near-unity PLQY with a stable emission peak at 640 nm. The CsPbBrxI3-x NCs can be combined with green CsPbBr3 NCs to construct white light-emitting diodes with high-color gamut. Our work presents a facile ion exchange strategy for preparing spectrally stable mixed-halide perovskite NCs with high PLQY, approaching the efficiency limit for display or lighting applications.
