Organometal halide perovskites are promising semiconducting materials for photodetectors because of their favorable optoelectrical properties. Although nanoscale perovskite materials such as quantum dots (QDs) show novel behavior, they have intrinsic stability issues. In this study, an effectively silane barrier‐capped quantum dot (QD@APDEMS) is thinly applied onto a bulk perovskite photosensitive layer for use in photodetectors. QD@APDEMS is synthesized with a silane ligand with hydrophobic CH3‐terminal groups, resulting in excellent dispersibility and durability to enable effective coating. The introduction of the QD@APDEMS layer results in the formation of a low‐defect perovskite film with enlarged grains. This is attributed to the grain boundary interconnection effect via interaction between the functional groups of QD@APDEMS and uncoordinated Pb2+ in grain boundaries. By passivating the grain boundaries, where various trap sites are distributed, hole charge‐carrier injection and shunt leakage can be suppressed. Also, from the energy point of view, the deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of QD@APDEMS can work as a hole charge injection barrier. Improved charge dynamics (generation, transfer, and recombination properties) and reduced trap density of QD@APDEMS are demonstrated. When this perovskite film is used in a photodetector, the device performance (especially the detectivity) stands out among existing perovskites evaluated for energy sensing device applications.
The synthesis of perovskite-based blue lightemitting particles is valuable for several applications as the excellent optical properties and performances of the constituting materials associated with multi-exciton generation can be exploited. However, the preparation of perovskite precursors requires high temperatures, resulting in a complex manufacturing process. This paper proposes a one-pot method to synthesize CsPbClBr 2 blue light-emitting quantum dots (QDs). In the case of nonstoichiometric precursor synthesis, the CsPbClBr 2 QDs coexisted with additional products. The solvent for synthesizing mixed perovskite nanoparticles (containing chloride) was selected by mixing dimethylformamide (DMF) and/or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in different ratios. When only DMF was used with the stoichiometric CsBr and PbX 2 (X = Cl, Br) ratio, the quantum yield was 70.55%, and superior optical properties were achieved. Moreover, no discoloration was observed for 400 h, and a high photoluminescence intensity was maintained. When deionized water was added to form a double layer with hexane, the luminescence was maintained for 15 days. In other words, the perovskite did not easily decompose even when in contact with water, which suppressed the release of Pb 2+ , which are heavy metal atoms in the structure. Overall, the proposed one-pot method for all-inorganic-based perovskite QDs provides a platform for synthesizing superior blue light-emitting materials.
