One-step synthesis of all-inorganic high-entropy dual-phase Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B’2Br5 perovskite nanocrystals by high-energy ball milling

Abstract

All-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted considerable attention in field of optoelectronics due to their excellent properties such as high PLQY, tunable emission spectra in visible light region, and narrow emission peaks. However, problems existing in the research of all-inorganic lead halide perovskite materials are high lead content, low stability, and complex synthesis processes. Those problems need to be solved urgently. Therefore, dual-phase Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B’2Br5 perovskite material (Cs(Pb1/5Mn1/5Ni1/5Zn1/5Cd1/5)Br3/Cs(Pb1/5Mn1/5Ni1/5Zn1/5Cd1/5)2Br5) was synthesized by doping the B-site of CsPbBr3 and CsPb2Br5 using high-energy ball milling in this thesis. This dual-phase perovskite material has maximum absorption edge of 540 nm, a band gap width of 2.22 eV, the maximum emission peak at 600 nm with FWHM of 72 nm, PLQY of 24.50%, and an average fluorescence lifetime of 227.87 μs. After 21 days at room temperature, luminescent intensity of NCs increased to 156%, and still retained 109% at 120 days. After treatment at 150 °C, luminescent intensity decreased to 47%. Results show that this high-entropy dual-phase perovskite has great stability in different temperature. This proves that synthesis of high-entropy dual-phase halide perovskite by high-energy ball milling is feasible, and has great significance in solving poor stability and high lead content of all-inorganic lead halide perovskite in the future.
