Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of quantum dot synthesis, and relates to a double-acid-assisted synthesis CsPbX3A method of quantum dots.
Background
CsPbX3The quantum dot material has the advantages of extremely high quantum yield, narrow light-emitting peak, high carrier mobility, high defect tolerance and the like, and has great development potential in the photoelectric fields of LED devices, solar cells, detectors and the like. However, CsPbX prepared by the existing method3The low luminous efficiency and colloid instability of the quantum dots limit further application thereof. CsPbI prepared from precursor of Xia et al using palmitic acid as solvent3Quantum dots have High PLQY (up to 92%), and palmitic acid can inhibit agglomeration of quantum dots, thereby reducing their regeneration-induced instability (Xia, H.; Wu, S.; Li, L.; Zhang, S., High binding affinity and controlled formation of CsPbX)3(X-Cl/Br, Br, I) peroxide nanocrystals with high quality standards and enhanced stability RSC adv.2018,8(63), 35973-. Yang et al use benzenesulfonic acid as a solvent precursor to prepare perovskite quantum dots, which can firmly bind non-coordinated lead ions and effectively eliminate exciton trapping probability caused by bromine vacancies (Yang, D.; Li, X.; Zhou, W.; et al, CsPbBr)3Quantum Dots 2.0 Benzenesulfonic Acid Equivalent liquid organic and Awakens Complete purification. adv. Mater.2019,31(30), e 1900767.). Tan et al prepared CsPbX from precursors containing octylphosphonic acid3Quantum dots, the quantum dots obtained, due to the strong interaction between Octylphosphonic Acid and lead atoms, obtained high quality dispersion in solvents after multiple purifications, the QLEDs prepared correspond to an external quantum efficiency of 6.5% (Tan, Y.; Zou, Y.; Wu, L.; et al., high luminescence and Stable Perovskite Nanocrystals with an octyl phosphonic Acid as a Light and for Efficient Light-Emitting diodes ACS. Appl. matrix. interfaces 2018,10(4), 3784-3792.). However, the CsPbX synthesized by using monoacid as a surface chelating ligand3The method of quantum dots still has the problem of loss of a large amount of ligands, so that poor colloidal stability is easily caused, and the light efficiency of the quantum dots and the dispersibility of the quantum dots in a solvent are greatly reduced. Therefore, it is urgentDevelopment of suitable acid ligands is required to efficiently passivate CsPbX3The surface defects of the quantum dots and the combination of the ligands and the quantum dots are enhanced, so that the colloidal stability and the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots are improved.
