Superior fluorescence and high stability of B-Si-Zn glasses based on Mn-doped CsPbBrxI3-x nanocrystals

CsPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are still limited in their use due to their extreme instability in the air as they will deteriorate in a few days, and their thermal stability is not optimistic. In this study, the red CsPbBrxI3-x (X=1.5, 1.0, 0.8, 0.5, 0.35, 0) NCs and Mn-doped CsPbBrxI3-x NC in zinc borosilicate (B2O3-SiO2-ZnO) glass with cubic perovskite crystal structure were successfully synthesized through melt-quenching and heat-treatment method, which exhibited strong red emission in region of 572 nm -708 nm under 365 nm excitation. Additionally they are stable in the air for several months while showing excellent thermal stability. It is worth mentioning that Mn-doped CsPbBrxI3-x NC glasses are brighter than CsPbBrxI3-x NC glasses under UV light. Because Mn-doped CsPbBrxI3-x NC glasses have good thermal and air stability, they can be used as a red fluorescent material. We fabricated glass with Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce3+) phosphor-in-glass (PiG) realized the chromaticity tuning for YAG:Ce3+ phosphor with white light-emitting-diodes (WLED). (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
