Engineering of halide cation in all-inorganic perovskite with full-color luminescence

Abstract

All-inorganic halide perovskites are emerging as a class of superstar semiconductors with excellent optoelectronic properties and show great potential for a broad range of applications in solar cells, lighting diodes, X-ray imaging, and photodetectors. Tremendous research about their device performance has been performed since 2015. In this study, we synthesized the all-inorganic perovskite by the hot-injection method and particularly investigated their crystal structural and photoluminescence properties. By halide anion engineering, the all-inorganic perovskites showed a high-symmetry cubic phase. They also showed a tunable optical bandgap, and almost the full color luminescence was achieved (434 to 624 nm). These basic optoelectronic properties could give a guide for further development of this area.
