All-Inorganic Lead-Free 0D Perovskites by a Doping Strategy to Achieve a PLQY Boost from

Abstract

Zero-dimensional (0D) lead-free perovskites have unique structures and optoelectronic properties. Undoped and Sb-doped all inorganic, lead-free, 0D perovskite single crystals A2 InCl5 (H2 O) (A=Rb, Cs) are presented that exhibit greatly enhanced yellow emission. To study the effect of coordination H2 O, Sb-doped A3 InCl6 (A=Rb, Cs) are also synthesized and further studied. The photoluminescence (PL) color changes from yellow to green emission. Interestingly, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) realizes a great boost from <2 % to 85-95 % through doping Sb3+ . We further explore the effect of Sb3+ dopants and the origin of bright emission by ultrafast transient absorption techniques. Furthermore, Sb-doped 0D rubidium indium chloride perovskites show excellent stability. These findings not only provide a way to design a set of new high-performance 0D lead-free perovskites, but also reveal the relationship between structure and PL properties.
