Abstract

Compared with quantum-dot (QD) displays, QD lighting possesses higher demand of photostability. Owing to high photostability from the combination of inner independent luminescence center and thick shell (≥15 monolayers (MLs)), inner-Mn-doped core/giant-shell QDs with bright wide emission are a promising candidate for QD lighting. Aiming at bright and high-photostable giant QDs with low time cost (giant-shell growth time: within 20 min), we put forward the perfect combination strategy of hot-injection nucleation doping and optimized “flash” synthesis, going beyond the combination strategy of one-pot growth doping and typical “flash” synthesis, which led to an increase in photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) of giant Mn-doped CdS/ZnS QDs (ZnS shell: ∼18 MLs) from ≤20% to 40%. The PLQY was enhanced to 45% by light annealing. Using traditional LED as the reference, these simply-encapsulated QDs can exhibit the high photostability, throwing light of the application of these inner-Mn-doped core/giant-shell QDs even for QD lighting.
