The PL peak width of mixed-halide NCs at x = 0.55 was broader than those of CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3, possibly as a result of compositional inhomogeneity among the individual NCs. However, the maximum PL peak width occurred at larger x for the ion-exchange methods, possibly because of partial transition to orthorhombic phase from cubic phase for CsPb(Br1−x

)3 NCs. The minimum PLQY for the hot-injection method was 25.0% at x = 0.50, which was lower than the PLQYs of CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3 NCs (∼70%). In contrast, the minimum PLQY for the ion-exchange methods occurred at x = ∼0.3. Furthermore, the minimum PLQY was ∼10%, which was lower than 25.0% for the hot-injection method. The addition of halide solution for ion exchange might affect the adsorption state of surface modifiers, leading to the decreased PLQY.
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.
