Anti‐Solvent Synthesis of Three‐Color Indium‐Based Halide Perovskite Microplate/Microcrystal Phosphors for High Color Rendering WLEDs

Abstract

AbstractLead‐free halide perovskites are emerging as promising eco‐friendly candidates for next‐generation solid‐state lighting because of their nontoxicity and availability for broad emission. Herein, a modified room‐temperature anti‐solvent precipitation method is developed to synthesize the Sb3+‐doped, In‐based, lead‐free halide perovskites in microplate/microcrystal structure with different emission colors. The layered structure of InCl3 serves as the template for the growth of Cs2InCl5(H2O):Sb3+ microplate phosphors. Moreover, the presence of HCl not only improves the solubility of precursors, but also provides the acid etching effect. The resultant Sb3+‐doped Cs2InCl5(H2O) microplate phosphors show bright yellow emission with photoluminescence quantum yield up to 92.4%. Furthermore, Cs3InCl6:Sb3+ and Cs2NaInCl6:Sb3+ are synthesized through the similar method, which displays the bright green and deep‐blue emission, respectively. Subsequently, the proof‐of‐concept white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs) are fabricated based on Cs2NaInCl6:Sb3+ + Cs2InCl5(H2O):Sb3+ and Cs2NaInCl6:Sb3+ + Cs3InCl6:Sb3+ + Cs2InCl5(H2O):Sb3+ phosphors, which achieves high‐quality white light with the color rendering index (CRI) of 91.6 and 95.4, respectively. The results greatly advance the development of lead‐free halide perovskite phosphors synthesis, which may offer new possibilities for high CRI WLEDs fabrication.
