Hot-injection method is widely used in the synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals. The conventional hot-injection process suffers from severe yield loss in the mass production of monodisperse colloidal nanocrystals. The time-consuming standard cooling procedure via long-distance thermal transport results in continuous nanocrystal growth, leading to broad size distribution and yield loss. In this paper, we employed the direct injection of low-temperature solvent as an additional quenching agent. CsPbBr 3 colloidal nanocrystals with highly efficient narrow-band green emission and outstanding stability were obtained. The solvent fast quenching process creates a large instant undercooling, which could sharply increase the nucleation rate throughout the whole solution, leading to the high-yield formation of nanocrystals. Meanwhile, it inhibits the subsequent nanocrystal growth and thus could greatly improve the size uniformity and crystal quality. This mild quenching hot-injection method can be used not only for the large-scale preparation of perovskite colloidal nanocrystals but also for the preparation of other types of colloidal nanocrystals. In addition, the perovskite nanocrystal (PNC) array with a resolution of over 1300 pixels per inch was achieved via a common photolithography method. It also provides the possibility for commercial application in future full-color high-definition PNC displays.
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.
