Rapid room temperature synthesis of Mn-doped perovskite quantum dots for white-light-emitting diodes

Abstract

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have excellent photoelectric performance, such as high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), narrow full width at half-maximum (FWHM), and emission spectra covering the visible light wavelength. The emission color can be tuned over the full visible spectral region making them promising for white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Further control over the optical and magnetic properties of PQDs can be achieved through doping of transition metal ions such as Mn2+ ions. In this paper, a rapid doping method is employed at room temperature by using strong-acid cation-exchange resin during the metal ions doping process, which shortens the doping time, and Mn:CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs were obtained. By controlling the reaction time between strong-acid cation-exchange resin and PQDs, we achieve different levels of manganese doping, resulting in a new, to the best of our knowledge, fluorescence peak at 600 nm. The introduction of strong-acid cation-exchange resin preserves the integrity of the PQD structure, while completing the doping within 30 min. Due to the low cost and mild reaction conditions of resin, it is expected that the Mn:CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs can be mass-produced in large quantities. In addition, in order to provide high-quality white light emission, and prevent anion exchange reactions when mixed with CsPbBr3 QDs, the CsPbBr3 QDs are coated with silicon. Finally, by combining ultraviolet-light-emitting diodes (UVLEDs) with the aforementioned PQD mixture, this paper successfully fabricates WLEDs and demonstrates its excellent photoelectric performance. The constructed WLEDs produce warm white light with a high color rendering index (CRI) of 91 and a high correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5966 K, and the luminous efficacy (LE) of WLEDs is 41lmW−1.
