Abstract

A method is proposed to improve the photo/electroluminescence efficiency and stability of CsPbI3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) by using SrCl2 as a co-precursor. The SrCl2 is chosen as the dopant to synthesize the CsPbI3 NCs. Because the ion radius of Sr2+ (1.18 Å) is slightly smaller than that of Pb2+ (1.19 Å) ions, divalent Sr2+ cations can partly replace the Pb2+ ions in the lattice structure of perovskite NCs and cause a slight lattice contraction. At the same time, Cl- anions from SrCl2 are able to efficiently passivate surface defect states of CsPbI3 nanocrystals, thus converting nonradiative trap states to radiative states. The simultaneous Sr2+ ion doping and surface Cl- ion passivation result in the enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (up to 84%), elongated emission lifetime, and improved stability. Sr2+ -doped CsPbI3 NCs are employed to produce light-emitting devices with a high external quantum yield of 13.5%.
