混合鹵素CsPbBrxI3–x鈣鈦礦量子點(diǎn)具有良好光譜可調(diào)性，在純紅光鈣鈦礦發(fā)光二極管領(lǐng)域中具有良好的應(yīng)用潛力。然后，該類(lèi)量子點(diǎn)面臨著表面缺陷和不穩(wěn)定性這兩大難題，嚴(yán)重阻礙了其在高性能器件中的實(shí)際應(yīng)用價(jià)值。
基于此，鄭州大學(xué)張繼斌研究員與華中科技大學(xué)屠國(guó)力教授等人報(bào)道了采用釔陽(yáng)離子(Y3+)摻雜和苯基膦酸(PPA)鈍化的協(xié)同策略來(lái)解決這些問(wèn)題。其中，引入Y3+離子摻雜后，量子點(diǎn)的形成能得以降低，而碘化物空位缺陷的形成能則有所增加。PPA則通過(guò)其膦氧化物基團(tuán)與未配位的 Pb2+離子配位，成功實(shí)現(xiàn)了對(duì)表面缺陷的有效鈍化。并且，PPA的羥基還能與相鄰鹵素離子形成氫鍵，抑制了鹵素離子的遷移，進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)了鈍化效果。
最終，Y/PPA 共改性量子點(diǎn)表現(xiàn)出了卓越的穩(wěn)定性，光致發(fā)光量子產(chǎn)率近乎達(dá)到100%。基于這些量子點(diǎn)的鈣鈦礦發(fā)光二極管具有出色的光譜穩(wěn)定性，外量子效率達(dá)到24.5%，是基于 CsPbBrxI3–x量子點(diǎn)的純紅光鈣鈦礦發(fā)光二極管效率最高者之一。
