Using ligand exchange on FAPbI 3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) surface with chiral tridentate L-cysteine (Lcys) ligand, we successfully prepared chiral FAPbI 3 PNCs that show circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) (dissymmetry factor; g lum = 2.1 × 10 −3 ) in the near-infrared (NIR) region from 700 to 850 nm and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 81%. The chiral characteristics of FAPbI 3 PNCs are ascribed to induction by chiral L/D-cys, and the high PLQY is attributed to the passivation of the PNCs defects with L-cys. Also, effective passivation of defects on the surface of FAPbI 3 PNCs by L-cys results in excellent stability toward atmospheric water and oxygen. The conductivity of the L-cys treated FAPbI 3 NC films is improved, which is attributed to the partial substitution of L-cys for the insulating long oleyl ligand. The CPL of the L-cys ligand treated FAPbI 3 PNCs film retains a g lum of −2.7 × 10 −4 . This study demonstrates a facile yet effective approach to generating chiral PNCs with CPL for NIR photonics applications.
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.
