mixture at 150 °C for 2 min and then Cs-oleate solution (0.4 mL in ODE) was quickly injected. After 5 s, the reaction mixture was cooled by the ice-water bath to room temperature.
The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) prepared by the hot‐injection method can exceed 90%, which have attracted intensive attention for white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, the whole hot‐injection experiment requires air isolation and relatively high temperature. In addition, the poor stability of CsPbBr3 NCs impedes their applications. Here, a facile method is reported to synthesize CsPbBr3@ZrO2 NCs at room temperature in air. Owing to using ZrO2 coated CsPbBr3 NCs, the prepared CsPbBr3@ZrO2 NCs not only present a PLQY of 80% but also exhibit an enhanced stability to heat and moisture. Furthermore, WLEDs are fabricated with CsPbBr3@ZrO2 NCs and commercial red phosphors (CaAlSiN3:Eu2+) on blue LEDs chips. The fabricated WLEDs exhibit a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4743 K and luminous efficacy as high as 64.0 Lm W–1. In addition, visible light communication with a high data rate of 33.5 Mbps is achieved using the WLEDs. This work provides a room temperature strategy to coat zirconia for CsPbBr3@ZrO2 NCs, benefiting to enhance the optical performance and stability, as well as the promotion of the great potentials in solid‐state illuminating and visible light communication applications.
All-inorganic CsPbBr 3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have received great attention in white light emission because of their outstanding properties. However, their practical application is hindered by poor stability. Herein, we propose a simple strategy to synthesize excellent stability and efficient emission of CsPbBr 3 QDs by using 2-hexyldecanoic acid (DA) as a ligand to replace the regular oleic acid (OA) ligand. Thanks to the strong binding energy between DA ligand and QDs, the modified QDs not only show a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 96% but also exhibit high stability against ethanol and water. Thereby warm white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) are constructed by combining ligand modified CsPbBr 3 QDs with red AgInZnS QDs on blue emitting InGaN chips, exhibiting a color rendering index of 93, a power efficiency of 64.8 lm/W, a CIE coordinate of (0.44, 0.42) and correlated color temperature value of 3018 K. In addition, WLEDs based on ligand modified CsPbBr 3 QDs also exhibit better thermal performance than that of WLEDs based on the regular CsPbBr 3 QDs. The combination of improved efficiency and better thermal stability with high color quality indicates that the modified CsPbBr 3 QDs are ideal for WLEDs application.
