Perovskite
quantum dots (PQDs) are among the most important luminescent
semiconducting materials; however, they are unstable. Exposure to
light, heat, and air can lead to irreversible degradation, which results
in fluorescence quenching. Therefore, defects in PQDs significantly
limit their practical application. Herein, we describe a simple method
to enhance the photostability of CsPbBr3/nCdS QDs, which involves doping their shells with aluminum. The temperature-dependent
photoluminescence (PL) of colloidal CsPbBr3/nCdS/Al2O3 QDs is investigated, and the thermal
quenching of PL, blue shift of the optical band gap, and PL line width
broadening are observed in each QD sample. Al2O3 layers on the CsPbBr3/nCdS QDs can effectively
prevent photodegradation. Nonlinear, temperature-dependent exciton–phonon
coupling and lattice dilation leads to radiative and nonradiative
relaxation processes at temperatures ranging from 10 to 300 K; moreover,
changes in the band gap and PL spectral line broadening are observed.
