The promotion of TiO2 induction for finely tunable self-crystallized CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br and I) nanocrystal glasses for LED backlighting display

Abstract

All-inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) hold tremendous prospect in optoelectronics. Different from the previous method of preparing perovskite glass, the self-crystallization of CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) PNCs glasses were successfully synthesized by introducing TiO2 into the glass matrix without subsequent annealing and heat treatment engineering. The effective realization of self-crystallization was attributed to the nucleating agent changing the glass structure which has been confirmed by DSC, XPS, FTIR tests. As a nucleating agent, TiO2 reduced the crystallization temperature of BSZ glasses and promoted controlled nucleation of PNCs. Surprisingly, the self-crystallized glass with high Photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 41.2% showed strong hydrothermal stability. After soaking in water for 30 days, the Pb2+ escaped did not change significantly. The green-emitting LEDs made of BSZ-xTi achieved tunable colour coordinates of (0.1038–0.1177, 0.7376–0.7386). Furthermore, combining BSZ-2Ti with BrI2-2Ti on InGaN chip, the wide-color-gamut covering 93.15% of the Rec. 2020 standard was achieved. This study has an important role in guiding the synthesis of time-saving, environment-friendly and low-cost PNCs glasses, which made a contribution to deepening the understanding of the promoting effect of related nucleating agents on nucleation of PNCs.
