ABSTRACT
The commercial application of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals has been realized owing to the development of composite film technology. Here, we demonstrated the fabrication of green and red emissive CuInS2 nanocrystals embedded polymer composite films of equal thickness by using a precise solution casting method. The impacts of polymer molecular weight on the dispersibility of CuInS2 nanocrystals were then systematically studied through evaluating the decrease in transmittance and red shift of emission wavelength. The composite films made from PMMA of small molecular weights exhibited higher transmittance. Applications of these green and red emissive composite films as color converters in remote-type light-emitting devices were further demonstrated.
ABSTRACT
Lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are promising candidates for future lighting applications, due to their high quantum yield, narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), and wide color gamut. However, the toxicity of lead represents a potential obstacle to their utilization. Although tin(II) has been used to replace lead in films and QDs, the high intrinsic defect density and oxidation vulnerability typically leads to unsatisfactory material properties. Bismuth, with much lower toxicity than lead, is promising to constitute lead-free perovskite materials because Bi3+ is isoelectronic to Pb2+ and more stable than Sn2+ . Herein we report, for the first time, the synthesis and optical characterization of MA3 Bi2 Br9 perovskite QDs with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) up to 12 %, which is much higher than Sn-based perovskite nanocrystals. Furthermore, the photoluminescence (PL) peaks of MA3 Bi2 X9 QDs could be easily tuned from 360 to 540â nm through anion exchange.
ABSTRACT
A simple and versatile in situ fabrication of MAPbX3 nanocrystal-embedded polymer composite films is developed by controlling the crystallization process from precursor solutions. The composite films exhibit enhanced photoluminescence properties, improved stability, and excellent piezoelectric and mechanical properties. Applications of these composite films as color converters in liquid-crystal-display backlights are demonstrated, showing bright potential in display technology.
ABSTRACT
We here report the integration of red emissive CuInS(2) based nanocrysals as a potential red phosphor for warm light generation. By combining red emissive CuInS(2) based nanocrysals with commercial yellow emissive YAG:Ce and green emissive Eu(2+) doped silicate phosphors, we fabricated warm white light-emitting diodes with high color rendering index up to ~92, high luminous efficiency of 45~60 lm/W and color temperature less than 4000K.
