Lead-free copper-based perovskite Cs 3 Cu 2 X 5 nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted a great deal of attention as novel active materials in optoelectronic devices because of their high emission stability, unique self-trap exciton emission, and high quantum yield, as well as their relatively low toxicity and earthabundant constituents. On the contrary, despite the widespread interest in Cs 3 Cu 2 X 5 bulk or thin-film structures, the synthesis of highly crystalline and uniform Cs 3 Cu 2 X 5 NCs in high yield has rarely been reported on the basis of the conventional growth kinetics because of our insufficient understanding of their formation mechanism. We report a strategy for increasing the yield and controlling the size of Cs 3 Cu 2 X 5 NCs by utilizing the metal halide additive to adjust the thermodynamic equilibrium and chemical potential. Monodisperse Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 nanocubes with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 72.4% could be obtained because of the unique properties of MnI 2 , which can form multiple ionic salts and promote the reaction of CuI with a ligand to form Cu oleate-rich conditions for the assembly of NCs. Therefore, the metal halide additive plays a critical role in increasing the synthesis yield and controlling the size of copper-based Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 NCs based on precise mechanistic studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
