Abstract

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are a new class of photoluminescent and low-cost nanomaterials. Chemical transformation using less-toxic elements under ambient reaction conditions has emerged as a major issue due to pressures on environment and human health. Herein, the synthesis of copper-incorporated CH3NH3Pb1-xCuxBr3 based on a ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) technique has been reported. The achieved quantum dots have an average size of 8 nm and the existence of copper has been verified by morphological studies. The nanoscale particles exhibited strong blue luminescence upon the excitation at 370 nm. The replacement by Cu2+ resulted in emission evolution from 468 to 513 nm and the photophysical properties were discussed. This study will open a new approach to control the fluorescence of perovskite-type quantum dots, which will extend its application in different areas.
