Abstract
A miniature laser with linear polarization is a long sought-after component of photonic integrated circuits. In particular, for multiwavelength polarization lasers, it supports simultaneous access to multiple, widely varying laser wavelengths in a small spatial region, which is of great significance for advancing applications such as optical computing, optical storage, and optical sensing. However, there is a trade-off between the size of small-scale lasers and laser performance, and multiwavelength co-gain of laser media and multicavity micromachining in the process of laser miniaturization remain as significant challenges. Herein, room-temperature linearly polarized multiwavelength lasers in the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges are demonstrated, by fabricating random cavities scattered with silica in an Er-doped Cs2Ag0.4Na0.6In0.98Bi0.02Cl6 double-perovskite quantum dots gain membrane. By regulating the local symmetry and enabling effective energy transfer in nanocrystals, multiwavelength lasers with ultralow thresholds are achieved at room temperature. The maximum degree of polarization reaches 0.89. With their advantages in terms of miniaturization, ultralow power consumption, and adaptability for integration, these lasers offer a prospective light source for future photonic integrated circuits aimed at high-capacity optical applications.

Abstract
Lead-free halide double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 has been extensively studied in recent years due to the lead toxicity and poor stability of common lead halide perovskites. In this study, sodium (Na+) and bismuth (Bi3+) doped into Cs2AgInCl6 double perovskite, then Cs2Ag1-xNaxIn1 - yBiyCl6 films with broadband warm-yellow emissions were achieved by the blade coating method. Herein, Na and Bi content were changed as variables at a series of parameter optimization experiments, respectively. In the Cs2Ag1-xNaxIn1 - yBiyCl6 systems, Na+ broke the parity-forbidden transition of Cs2AgInCl6, and Bi3+ suppressed non-radiative recombination. The partial replacement of Ag+ with Na+ ions and doping with Bi3+ cations were crucial for increasing the intensity of the PL emission. The experimental results showed that the photoluminescence quantum yield of the Cs2Ag0.4Na0.6In0.8Bi0.2Cl6 film was 66.38%, which was the highest data among all samples. It demonstrated remarkable stability under heat and ultraviolet conditions. After five thermal cycles, the PL intensity of the Cs2Ag0.4Na0.6In0.8Bi0.2Cl6 film is only reduced to approximately 5.7% of the initial value. After 720 h continuous ultraviolet irradiation, there occurred 31.9% emission decay of the film.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites offer enhanced stability and lower toxicity compared to their lead-based counterparts. Dual B-site cations can introduce elemental and structural diversity into double perovskite materials, enabling fine-tuning of the optical properties. However, the study of the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of lead-free double perovskites is still nascent, hindering their relevant potential applications. Based on this, this work synthesizes a series of Cs2AgIn1-xBixCl6 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.75, 1) single crystals, with the aim to explore the impact of composition on their NLO properties. Interestingly, Cs2AgInCl6 shows surface defect-induced second harmonic generation. With increasing Bi3+ concentration, the multiphoton absorption coefficients of Cs2AgIn1-xBixCl6 single crystals increase as a result of increasing state density. This work is helpful to understand well the NLO properties of lead-free double perovskites, laying a foundation for the development of related applications.

Abstract
It is a huge challenge to increase the photoluminescence (PL) of lead-free halide perovskites, and understanding the mechanism behind exciton dynamics can provide a valuable solution. Herein, we achieved enhanced broad-band emission at ambient conditions in Cs2AgInCl6 by tuning self-trapped excitons (STEs) through Al3+ doping. Cryogenic measurements showed an inhomogeneous nature of STE emission due to the presence of defect states and is subject to thermal quenching. An increased Huang-Rhys factor (S-factor) resulted in better electron-phonon coupling and high-density STE states post Al3+ doping. Femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) results provided insights into the distribution dynamics of excitons, which occurs through gradient energy levels from free excitons (FE) to STEs, where each STE state potentially possesses higher quantized energy states. Overall, this study aims to comprehend the origins of self-trapping and decay of STEs in Cs2AgInCl6:Al3+ and emphasizes the potential of compositional engineering to mitigate self-trapping in this material.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites (DPs) with superior environmental stability and high defect tolerance have attracted considerable attention and exhibit great promise in photodetectors, solar cells, lighting devices, etc. However, achieving optical modulation and high photoluminescence quantum yield using this kind of material remains a challenge. Rare earth ions feature abundant energy levels and outstanding photophysical properties. Incorporating rare earth ions into lead-free DPs is an effective strategy to improve their optical performances, which have great effects on night-vision and light emitting diodes. Consequently, in this mini-review, we summarize the synthesis methods, optical properties, issues, and multifunctional applications of lead-free DPs described in recent years. The performances of DPs can be modulated via rare earth doping, which involves the extension of luminescence range, the improvement of PLQY, the realization of multi-mode excitation, and the regulation of luminescence color. We hope that this review will provide some insights into luminescence modulation and applications of lead-free DPs.

Abstract
The review summarizes our recent reports on brightly-emitting materials with varied dimensionality (3D, 2D, 0D) synthesized using "green" chemistry and exhibiting highly efficient photoluminescence (PL) originating from self-trapped exciton (STE) states. The discussion starts with 0D emitters, in particular, ternary indium-based colloidal quantum dots, continues with 2D materials, focusing on single-layer polyheptazine carbon nitride, and further evolves to 3D luminophores, the latter exemplified by lead-free double halide perovskites. The review shows the broadband STE PL to be an inherent feature of many materials produced in mild conditions by "green" chemistry, outlining PL features general for these STE emitters and differences in their photophysical properties. The review is concluded with an outlook on the challenges in the field of STE PL emission and the most promising venues for future research.

Abstract
In recent years, low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) have shown excellent photophysical properties due to their quantum structure, adjustable energy levels, and energy transfer between inorganic and organic components, which have attracted extensive attention from researchers. Herein, we synthesize a zero-dimensional (0D) OIHMH, Sb3+:(Gua)3InCl6, by introducing Sb3+ into (Gua)3InCl6, which undergoes a significant enhancement of the emission peak at 580 nm with the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) boosted from 17.86 to 95.72% when excited at 340 nm. This boost in photoluminescence of the doped sample was studied by combining ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption, temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, revealing the process of self-trapped exciton (STE) recombination to emit light at both Sb and In sites in this 0D structure simultaneously. This material with the lowest dark STE level at the In site for emission in the undoped sample can amazingly yield very strong emission in the doped sample, which has never been observed before. Finally, we tested its application in a photoelectric device. This work not only helps to gain a deeper understanding of the formation of STEs in In-based halides but also plays a certain guiding role in the design of new luminescent materials.

Abstract
In this study, we employ the framework of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) computations to investigate the physical, electrical, bandgap and thermal conductivity of Cs2AgInCl6-CAIC (type I) and Cs2AgSbCl6-CASC (type II) using the GGA-PBE method. CAIC possesses a direct band gap energy of 1.812 eV, while CASC demonstrates an indirect band gap energy of 0.926 eV. The CAIC and CASC exhibit intriguingly reduced thermal conductivity, which can be attributed to the notable reduction in their respective Debye temperatures, measuring 182 K and 135 K, respectively. The Raman active modes computed under ambient conditions have been compared with real-world data, showing excellent agreement. The thermal conductivity values of CAIC and CASC compounds exhibit quantum mechanical characteristics, with values of 0.075 and 0.25 W m-1 K-1, respectively, at 300 K. It is foreseen that these outcomes will generate investigations concerning phosphors and diodes that rely on single emitters, with the aim of advancing lighting and display technologies in the forthcoming generations.

Abstract
Lead-free perovskite nanocrystals are of interest due to their nontoxicity and potential application in the display industry. However, engineering their optical properties is nontrivial and demands an understanding of emission from both self-trapped and free excitons. Here, we focus on tuning silver-based double perovskite nanocrystals' optical properties via two iso-valent dopants, Bi and Sb. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the intrinsic Cs2Ag1-yNayInCl6 perovskite increased dramatically upon doping. However, the two dopants affect the optical properties very differently. We hypothesize that the differences arise from their differences in electronic level contributions and ionic sizes. This hypothesis is validated through absorption and temperature dependence photoluminescence measurements, namely, by employing the Huang-Rhys factor, which indicates the coupling of the exciton to the lattice environment. The larger ionic size of Bi also plays a role in inducing significant microstraining verified via synchrotron measurements. These differences make Bi more sensitive to doping concentration over antimony which displays brighter emission (QY ∼40%). Such understanding is important for engineering optical properties in double perovskites, especially in light of recent achievements in boosting the photoluminescence quantum yield.

A universal hydrochloric acid-assistant powder-to-powder strategy for quick and mass preparation of lead-free perovskite microcrystals. LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2023; 12:75. [PMID: 36935450 PMCID: PMC10025261 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-023-01117-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Lead-free halide perovskite materials possess low toxicity, broadband luminescence and robust stability compared with conventional lead-based perovskites, thus holding great promise for eyes-friendly white light LEDs. However, the traditionally used preparation methods with a long period and limited product yield have curtailed the commercialization of these materials. Here we introduce a universal hydrochloric acid-assistant powder-to-powder strategy which can accomplish the goals of thermal-, pressure-free, eco-friendliness, short time, low cost and high product yield, simultaneously. The obtained Cs2Na0.9Ag0.1In0.95Bi0.05Cl6 microcrystals exhibit bright self-trapped excitons emission with quantum yield of (98.3 ± 3.8)%, which could retain (90.5 ± 1.3)% and (96.8 ± 0.8)% after continuous heating or ultraviolet-irradiation for 1000 h, respectively. The phosphor converted-LED exhibited near-unity conversion efficiency from ultraviolet chip to self-trapped excitons emission at ~200 mA. Various ions doping (such as Cs2Na0.9Ag0.1InCl6:Ln3+) and other derived lead-free perovskite materials (such as Cs2ZrCl6 and Cs4MnBi2Cl12) with high luminous performance are all realized by our proposed strategy, which has shown excellent availability towards commercialization.

Abstract
Erbium (Er) complexes are used as optical gain materials for signal generation in the telecom C-band at 1540 nm, but they need a sensitizer to enhance absorption. Na+ substitution for Ag+ and Bi3+ doping at the In3+ site is a possible strategy to enhance the broadband emission of Cs2AgInCl6, which could be used as a sensitizer for energy transfer to rare-earth elements. Herein, self-trapped exciton (STE) energy transfer to Er3+ at 1540 nm in double perovskite is reported. An acid precipitation method was used to synthesize Cs2AgInCl6 and its derivatives with Er3+, Bi3+, and Na+. Bare Cs2AgInCl6:Er emission signals were found to be weak at 1540 nm, but Bi3+ doping increased them by 12 times, and Bi3+ and Na+ doping increased signal intensity by up to 25 times. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy characterized a decrease in axial symmetry over the Er3+ ions after the substitutions of Na+ and Bi3+ in Cs2AgInCl6 at low temperatures (<7 K) for the first time. Moreover, an increase in pressure compressed the structure, which tuned the STE transition for free exciton emission, and a further increase in pressure distorted the cubic phase above 70 kbar.

Abstract
The co-doping of double perovskites is a useful approach in terms of improving their stability and photoluminescence quantum yield. Herein, Bi3+ and Te4+ cations have been co-doped into Cs2AgInCl6 nanocrystals. Doping with Te4+ cations promotes radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons due to increased defect formation energies of silver and indium vacancies, according to experimental and theoretical results. When used in excess, the TeO2 precursor would generate residual TeO2, Te2O3Cl2, R2TeO, or all three of them, which confined undesired chlorine ions on oxygen vacancies to counteract the pull from the Cs2AgInCl6 host, resulting in improved coordination with surface oleic acid ligands. As a result, 1% Bi and 8% Te co-doped Cs2AgInCl6 nanocrystals reach a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 34% and show an improved stability, maintaining over 70% of their original emission intensity after storage for more than 1 month. These findings are important in the context of producing high-performance properly doped double perovskite nanocrystals for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Lead-free double cation metal halide perovskites have recently attracted considerable attention, with continuing research efforts focusing on the improvement of their stability and photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY). In this study, Ce3+ has been co-doped together with Bi3+ into lead-free double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 nanocrystals (NCs) in order to improve their crystallinity and PL QY. Both uncoordinated chloride ions and silver vacancies could be eliminated using this co-doping strategy, and the resulting Ce3+,Bi3+-co-doped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs showed adjustable PL emission peaks in the range of 589 to 577 nm by varying the doping amount of Ce3+ with a fixed feeding ratio of bismuth precursor set at 1%. Cs2AgInCl6 NCs doped with 1% Bi alone reached a PL QY of 10% for the PL peak centered at 591 nm, while those co-doped with 1% Bi and 2% Ce together achieved the highest PL QY of 26% for the PL peak centered at 580 nm. The use of Ce3+ as a dopant promoted the localization of self-trapped excitons to prevent PL quenching, although the ion's 5d excited state may potentially provide an energetically favorable indirect route for the radiative relaxation process. This also resulted in a blue shift of the PL maximum and increased the exciton binding energy, thus promoting the radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons.

Abstract
Cs 2 NaInCl 6 double perovskite is stable, environmentally benign, and can be prepared easily. But it has high band gap (5.1 eV), and therefore, does not show optical and optoelectronic properties in the visible and short-wave infrared (SWIR) region. Here we introduce such functionalities in Cs 2 NaInCl 6 by codoping Sb 3+ ( s -electron doping) and Er 3+ ( f -electron doping). Sb 3+ doping introduces optically allowed 5 s 2 → 5 s 1 5 p 1 electronic absorption at the sub band gap level, which then emit blue light with ~93% photoluminescence quantum yield. On the other hand, f-f electronic absorption of Er 3+ is parity forbidden. Codoping Sb 3+ -Er 3+ , leads to transfer of excitation energy from Sb 3+ to Er 3+ , yielding SWIR emission at 1540 nm that falls in the optical fiber communication region. Temperature (6 to 300 K) dependent photoluminescence measurements elucidate the excitation mechanism in the codoped Cs 2 NaInCl 6 . Further, we have fabricated phosphor converted light emitting diode (pc-LED) by coating the codoped sample on commercial ultraviolet LED chips. The pc-LED emit stable blue and SWIR radiation over prolonged operation (over 84 hours) at 5.1 V.

Abstract
All lead-free inorganic halide perovskites, as efficient solid-state light emission materials, have become ideal green optoelectronic materials to replace lead halide perovskites for diversified lighting and display applications with their excellent stability. Here, we investigated the pressure-derived optical and structural response of a zero-dimensional lead-free perovskite Rb7Sb3Cl16 through applying controllable pressure. A pressure-induced blue shift of the broadband emission was achieved, and it was followed by the emission color transformation from yellow to green, which was ascribed to the electron-phonon coupling weakening and the suppression of structural deformation upon lattice contraction. In parallel, the band gap was narrowed by about 0.5 eV as a result of enhanced metal halide orbital overlap under high pressure. This work provides a fundamental understanding for modulating the optical properties of the low-dimensional metal halide perovskites.

Abstract
Lead-free double perovskites (DPs) have outstanding luminescent properties, which make them excellent candidates for wide use in optoelectronics. Herein, a solvent-free melting-crystallization technique, which can produce kilogram-scale DP microcrystals (DP-MCs) in one batch, is invented to synthesize the Cs2NaxAg1-xInCl6: Bi (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) DP-MCs. The structure and composition analysis confirmed the products are pure Cs2NaxAg1-xInCl6 DP-MCs. Affected by Jahn-Teller distortion of AgCl6 octahedra, self-trapped excitons appear in the excited state, resulting in the broadband emission (400-850 nm) of Cs2Ag1-xNaxInCl6: Bi DP-MCs. The enhancement of the photoluminescence quantum yield can be realized by introducing Na+ to break the parity-forbidden transition in the Cs2AgInCl6 DP. Optimized Cs2Na0.4Ag0.6InCl6: Bi DP-MC phosphors combined with commercial blue and green phosphors were coated on ultraviolet chips (365 nm) to fabricate white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) from warm white (2930 K) to cold white (6957 K). An ultrahigh color rendering index of 97.1 and a CCT of 5548 K as well as Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage color coordinates of (0.331, 0.339) have been demonstrated. This kilogram-scale synthesis technique could stimulate the industrial development of WLEDs for general lighting based on DP-MC phosphors.

Abstract
In terms of the large-scale hydrogen production by water electrolysis, achieving the bifunctional electrocatalyst with high efficiency and stability at high current densities is of great significance but still remains a grand challenge. To address this issue, herein, one unique hybrid electrode is synthesized with the local photothermal effect (LPTE) by supporting the novel ternary nickel (Ni)bismuth (Bi)sulfur (S) nanosheet arrays onto nickel foam (Ni3 Bi2 S2 @NF) via a one-pot hydrothermal reaction. The combined experimental and theoretical observations reveal that owing to the intrinsic LPTE action of Bi, robust phase stability of Ni3 Bi2 S2 as well as the synergistic effect with hierarchical configuration, upon injecting the light, the as-prepared Ni3 Bi2 S2 exhibits remarkably improved efficiency of 44% and 35% for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively. Such enhanced values are also comparable to those performed in working media heated to 80 °C. In addition, the overall water splitting system by using Ni3 Bi2 S2 @NF as bifunctional electrodes only delivers an ultralow voltage of 1.40 V at 10 mA cm-2 under LPTE, and can be stable more than 36 h at 500-1000 mA cm-2 . More broadly, even worked at 0-5 °C, alkaline simulated seawater and high salt seawater, the electrodes still show apparent LPTE effect for improving catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Sublattice distortion resulting from alloying compositionally distinct double perovskites is shown to influence photoluminescence emission in Cs2Ag1-xNaxBiCl6 (0 < x < 1). The end members show negligible photoluminescence, whereas interestingly the alloys exhibit broad photoluminescence. These emissions are attributed to self-trapped excitons (STE) resulting from sublattice distortions arising due to the mismatch in [AgCl6]5- and [BiCl6]3- octahedra. Change in sublattice distortions plays significant role in the formation and recombination of STEs. The STE emission intensity and quantum yield greatly depend on x, with highest intensity observed for x = 0.75, consistent with a large change in sublattice found at this x. Variation in photoluminescence properties with composition follows a similar trend as that of bandgap and phonon vibrational changes observed due to sublattice distortion. Temperature-dependent phonon vibrations and photoluminescence studies reveal a giant electron-phonon coupling. A strong synergy between STE emissions, electron-phonon coupling, bandgap, and phonon vibrations in double perovskites with sublattice distortions is demonstrated.

Abstract
Here, we report a halide precursor acid precipitation method to synthesize Cs2AgIn1-xBixCl6 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, 0.32, 0.64, and 1) microcrystals. Cs2AgInCl6 and Bi derivative double perovskites show broadband white light emission via self-trapped excitons (STEs) and have achieved the highest internal quantum efficiency of up to 52.4% at x = 0.08. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction confirmed the linear increase of lattice parameters and cell volume with Bi3+ substitution at In3+ sites. Absorbance, photocurrent excitation, and photoluminescence excitation spectra are used to observe possible transitions from the valence to the conduction band or free exciton (FE) states as well as transitions within local Bi3+ states. The broadband photoluminescence is quenched via a single nonradiative process with an activation energy ΔE = 1490 cm-1 for Cs2AgIn0.92Bi0.08Cl6. Under normal conditions, we observed STE emission, but applying external pressure alters the electronic structure such that at elevated pressure, the only emission via the FE state is observed. We anticipate that structure, temperature and pressure-dependent photoluminescence studies will help the future use of a single-source lead-free double perovskite for white light-emitting diode applications.

Synergetic effect of the surface ligand and SiO 2 driven photoluminescence stabilization of the CH 3NH 3PbBr 3 perovskite magic-sized clusters. Sci Rep 2021; 11:22211. [PMID: 34782669 PMCID: PMC8593060 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-01560-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Zero-dimensional Perovskite Magic-size Clusters play crucial roles in understanding and controlling nucleation and growth of semiconductor nanoparticles. However, their metastability behavior is a critical hindrance for reliable characterizations. Here, we report the first demonstration of using an excess amount of surface ligand and SiO2 as novel passivation for synthesizing the magic-sized clusters (MSCs) by the Ligand-assisted reprecipitation method. A synergetic effect between an excessed surface ligand and SiO2 inhibits the protonation and deprotonation reaction between amine-based and acid-based ligand, leading to enhanced PL stability. The obtained CH3NH3PbBr3 PMSCs/SiO2 retain 70% of its initial emission intensity in ambient conditions for 20 days. This passivation approach opens an entirely new avenue for the reliable characterizations of CH3NH3PbBr3 PMSCs, which will significantly broaden their application for understanding and controlling nucleation and growth of semiconductor nanoparticles.
