4‐Bromo‐Butyric Acid‐Assisted In Situ Passivation Strategy for Superstable All‐Inorganic Halide Perovskite CsPbX₃ Quantum Dots in Polar Media

Abstract

A crucial challenge is to develop an in situ passivation treatment strategy for CsPbX 3 (CPX, X = Cl, Br, and I) quantum dots (QDs) and simultaneously retain their luminous efficiency and wavelength. Here, a facile method to significantly improve the stability of the CPX QDs via in situ crystallization with the synergistic effect of 4-bromo-butyric acid (BBA) and oleylamine (OLA) in polar solvents including aqueous solution and a possible fundamental mechanism are proposed. Monodispersed CsPbBr 3 (CPB) QDs obtained in water show high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 86.4 % and their PL features of CPB QDs have no significant change after being dispersed in aqueous solution for 96 h, which implies the structure of CPB QDs is unchanged. The results provide a viable design strategy to synthesize all-inorganic perovskite CPX QDs with strong stability against the attack of polar solvents and shed more light on their surface chemistry.

“…To date, their synthesis with high molecular weights was reserved for catalysts featuring transition metals. Calix [4]pyrrolato aluminate is introduced as the first transition metal-free catalytic system for the dehydropolymerization of phenylphosphine borane. Initial mechanistic investigations indicate metal-ligand cooperativity of the aluminate.…”

Simultaneous Enhancement of the Luminescence Intensity and Stability of Deep-Red CsPbI3 Perovskite Quantum Dots Achieved by a Doping Strategy

“…Inorganic lead halide cesium perovskite quantum dots (CsPbX 3 PQDs, X = Cl, Br, or I) as promising semiconductor luminescent materials have the advantages of high luminescence efficiency and color purity, adjustable band gap, and easy color adjustment, − demonstrating their great application potential in solar cells, , displays, , light-emitting diodes, , photodetectors, , and other fields . However, the structure of CsPbX 3 PQDs is easy to be destroyed in external light, humidity, oxygen, and heat environment, which makes them induce phase transformation and ion migration due to their low electric charge, long ionic bond, and low lattice energy .…”

Trinity Strategy: Enabling Perovskite as Hydrophilic and Efficient Fluorescent Nanozyme for Constructing Biomarker Reporting Platform

“…However, the prepared CsPbX 3 NPs are destined for water instability. In order to enhance their water stability, researchers have increasingly adopted ligand engineering strategies, which even successfully enables CsPbX 3 NPs to disperse in water. ,− The water-dispersed CsPbX 3 NPs can directly interact with target analytes in the aqueous phase, offering the advantages of higher sensitivity, simplified sensing processes, and improved environmental friendliness. Despite this impressive progress, the intervention of water molecules (protonic solvent) results in severe ligand dissociation and excessive surface defect exposure, ultimately leading to nanoparticle aggregation over a short storage time.…”
