Controllable synthesis of all inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals and white light-emitting diodes based on CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals

The colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted much attention over the past five years as a promising class of material with potential application in wide-color-gamut backlight display because of their high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and narrow-band emission (full-width at half-maximum, FWHM < 35 nm). To controllably synthesize perovskite NCs, the effects of reaction temperature and reaction time on structure, morphology, particle size and photoluminescence (PL) properties of the NCs were systematically investigated inthis article. Based on these results, the formation kinetics of the perovskite NCs was analyzed and disclosed in further. Finally, a white light-emitting diode (WLED) was prepared by using synthesized CsPbBr₃ NCs and K₂SiF₆:Mn⁴⁺ phosphors as the color converters. The WLED exhibits the bright white emission with a CIE chromaticity coordinate of (0.389, 0.376) and a wide color gamut of 123% of NTSC, indicating a potential application in the field of wide color gamut displays in the future.
