State of the Art and Prospects for Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals
ACS Nano · 2021 · 1394 citations
Metal-halide perovskites have rapidly emerged as one of the most promising materials of the 21st century, with many exciting properties and great potential for a broad range of applications, from photovoltaics to optoelectronics and photocatalysis. The ease with which metal-halide perovskites can be synthesized in the form of brightly luminescent colloidal nanocrystals, as well as their tunable and intriguing optical and electronic properties, has attracted researchers from different disciplines…

Design Rules for Obtaining Narrow Luminescence from Semiconductors Made in Solution
Chemical Reviews · 2023 · 79 citations
Solution-processed semiconductors are in demand for present and next-generation optoelectronic technologies ranging from displays to quantum light sources because of their scalability and ease of integration into devices with diverse form factors. One of the central requirements for semiconductors used in these applications is a narrow photoluminescence (PL) line width. Narrow emission line widths are needed to ensure both color and single-photon purity, raising the question of what design rules…
Synthesis and Spectroscopy of Emissive, Surface-Modified, Copper-Doped Indium Phosphide Nanocrystals
ACS Materials Letters · 2020 · 46 citations
Aminophosphine precursors were used to synthesize copper-doped indium phosphide nanocrystals (InP NCs) via direct doping in a slow-injection bottom-up method and postsynthetic cation exchange. By both methods, the amount of copper incorporated into the NCs could be tuned simply by varying the molar ratio during synthesis. Common postsynthetic surface modifications such as Lewis acid treatment and zinc chalcogenide shelling were performed on these samples, resulting in an enhancement of the coppe…

articleSenior authorCorrespondingThree-dimensional (3D) iodide double perovskites (elpasolites) are extremely rare due to inherent instability issues. Here, we report the discovery of an air-stable iodide elpasolite semiconductor in the form of nanocrystals with the composition Cs2AgSbI6, synthesized via halide exchange from Cs2AgSbBr6 nanocrystals. This composition, previously considered thermodynamically unstable based on computational predictions, shows a ∼1.8 eV optical gap with near-infrared photoluminescence. The nanocrys…
