Study on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals with regular morphologies and their effect on photoluminescence properties.

Abstract

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals have been widely studied for their excellent photoelectric properties. However, the irregular morphologies of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals have limited application in the field of lighting and display. From this, the regular morphologies of nanospheres, nanorods, nanoplatelets and MAPbBr3 (MA = CH3NH3 +) nanocrystals have been synthesized by regulating the type and proportion of auxiliary ligands. The phase evolution, morphology and fluorescent properties were systematically studied by the various instruments of XRD, TEM, PL/UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence decay analysis. With the morphologies changing from nanospheres to nanoplatelets, the emission peaks of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals red-shifted, and the lifetimes have increased gradually. The underlying mechanisms were thoroughly investigated and elucidated. On this basis, the role of acid and amine in the synthesis of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals was systematically studied by regulating the ratio of oleic acid and N-octylamine. The fluorescence kinetics of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals were studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, and the charge carrier relaxation mechanism was clarified. Furthermore, the effect of temperature on the fluorescence properties of the nanocrystal was investigated in detail. Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals with morphologies-controlled and excellent fluorescence properties are expected to be widely used in lighting and display fields.
