Abstract
To improve the stability of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs), triple protection strategies were performed to obtain the ultra-stable films, including fluorinated hydrophobic film surface, polymer coating and silica encapsulation. CsPbBr3 QDs@SiO2 nanoparticles (SiPNCs) were prepared with well-dispersed NCs (8 nm) within acrylate-modified silica-shell. Polymer@SiPNCs (poly@SiPNCs) films were prepared by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFHM) and SiPNCs under ultraviolet (UV) light. Compared to CsPbBr3 NCs solution, SiPNCs solution had well maintained light absorption and emission wavelengths of ∼509 nm and ∼522 nm respectively. High SiPNCs content resulted in enhanced micro/nano structure and increased roughness on the surface of poly@SiPNCs film. With increasing SiPNCs content, water contact angles (WCAs) of poly@SiPNCs films reached 126 ± 2.4°, 137.3 ± 1.3° and 141.5 ± 1.9° respectively. This fabricated poly@SiPNCs film exhibited much improved stabilities to water and UV light, even after 90 days of water immersion and 120 h of UV irradiation. White light-emitting-diode (LED) device emitted bright pure white light. This work will boost a large-scale preparation of stable QDs films as backlight display.
