Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals based on formamidinium lead halide (FAPbX 3 ) have been synthesized by the ligand-assisted reprecipitation method using PbX 2 − dimethyl sulfoxide complexes as precursors at room temperature. Well-defined cubic-shaped FAPbX 3 nanocrystals have been obtained with a size d of ∼10 nm. The synthesized FAPbX 3 nanocrystals show bright photoluminescence with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (75% for FAPbBr 3 ). The lifetimes of FAPbBr 3 nanocrystals were measured for the samples isolated at several different centrifugal speeds. The photoluminescence can be tuned from the blue to nearinfrared region (λ peak = 408−784 nm) by changing either the amount of oleylamine or the composition of X. The color expression range is 135% of the NTSC standard. The bandwidth of the photoluminescence spectra of FAPbX 3 nanocrystals is narrow (full width at half-maximum of 18−48 nm). FAPbX 3 nanocrystals show thermal stability that is better than that of MAPbBr 3 nanocrystals.
Perovskite nanoparticle composite films with capability of high-resolution patterning (≥2 µm) and excellent resistance to various aqueous and organic solvents are prepared by in situ photosynthesis of acrylate polymers and formamidinium lead halide (FAPbX ) nanoparticles. Both positive- and negative-tone patterns of FAPbX nanoparticles are created by controlling the size exclusive flow of nanoparticles in polymer networks. The position of nanoparticles is spatially controlled in both lateral and vertical directions. The composite films show high photoluminescence quantum yield (up to 44%) and broad color tunability in visible region (λ = 465-630 nm).
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.
