Abstract

Lead-based perovskite MAPbX3 (MA = CH3NH3, X = Cl and Br) has shown great potential benefits to advance modern optoelectronics and clean energy harvesting devices. Poor structural stability is one of the major challenges of MAPbX3 perovskite materials to overcome to achieve desired device performance. Here, we present the electrochemical stability study of CH3NH3PbCl1.08Br1.92 quantum dots (QDs) by electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroelectrochemistry methods. Electrochemical anodization of pristine MAPbX3 QD film results in the disproportionate loss of methylammonium and halide ions (X = Cl and Br). ECL efficiency and stability of perovskite QDs in the presence of coreactant tripropyl amine (TPrA) can be greatly improved after being incorporated into a polystyrene (PS) matrix. Mass spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were used to provide chemical composition variation details of QDs, which are responsible for the ECL and PL characteristics (e.g., wavelength redshift) of perovskite QDs in an electrochemical cell.
