Abstract
The strength of electrostatic interactions (EIs) between electrons and holes within semiconductor nanocrystals profoundly affects the performance of their optoelectronic systems, and different optoelectronic devices demand distinct EI strength of the active medium. However, achieving a broad range and fine-tuning of the EI strength for specific optoelectronic applications is a daunting challenge, especially in quasi two-dimensional core-shell semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs), as the epitaxial growth of the inorganic shell along the direction of the thickness that solely contributes to the quantum confined effect significantly undermines the strength of the EI. Herein we propose and demonstrate a doubly gradient (DG) core-shell architecture of semiconductor NPLs for on-demand tailoring of the EI strength by controlling the localized exciton concentration via in-plane architectural modulation, demonstrated by a wide tuning of radiative recombination rate and exciton binding energy. Moreover, these exciton-concentration-engineered DG NPLs also exhibit a near-unity quantum yield, high photo- and thermal stability, and considerably suppressed self-absorption. As proof-of-concept demonstrations, highly efficient color converters and high-performance light-emitting diodes (external quantum efficiency: 16.9%, maximum luminance: 43,000 cd/m2) have been achieved based on the DG NPLs. This work thus provides insights into the development of high-performance colloidal optoelectronic device applications.

Abstract
The application of CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) in the ultraviolet/blue region remains an open challenge due to charge trapping typically leading to limited photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PL QE) and sub-bandgap emission in core-only NPLs. Here, we synthesized 3.5 monolayer core/crown CdSe/CdS NPLs with various crown dimensions, exhibiting saturated blue emission and PL QE up to 55%. Compared to core-only NPLs, the PL intensity decays monoexponentially over two decades due to suppressed deep trapping and delayed emission. In both core-only and core/crown NPLs we observe biexciton-mediated optical gain between 470 and 510 nm, with material gain coefficients up to 7900 cm-1 and consistently lower gain thresholds in crowned NPLs. Gain lifetimes are limited to 40 ps, due to residual ultrafast trapping and higher exciton densities at threshold. Our results provide guidelines for rational optimization of thin CdSe NPLs toward lighting and light-amplification applications.

Abstract
The field of colloidal synthesis of semiconductors emerged 40 years ago and has reached a certain level of maturity thanks to the use of nanocrystals as phosphors in commercial displays. In particular, II-VI semiconductors based on cadmium, zinc, or mercury chalcogenides can now be synthesized with tailored shapes, composition by alloying, and even as nanocrystal heterostructures. Fifteen years ago, II-VI semiconductor nanoplatelets injected new ideas into this field. Indeed, despite the emergence of other promising semiconductors such as halide perovskites or 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, colloidal II-VI semiconductor nanoplatelets remain among the narrowest room-temperature emitters that can be synthesized over a wide spectral range, and they exhibit good material stability over time. Such nanoplatelets are scientifically and technologically interesting because they exhibit optical features and production advantages at the intersection of those expected from colloidal quantum dots and epitaxial quantum wells. In organic solvents, gram-scale syntheses can produce nanoparticles with the same thicknesses and optical properties without inhomogeneous broadening. In such nanoplatelets, quantum confinement is limited to one dimension, defined at the atomic scale, which allows them to be treated as quantum wells. In this review, we discuss the synthetic developments, spectroscopic properties, and applications of such nanoplatelets. Covering growth mechanisms, we explain how a thorough understanding of nanoplatelet growth has enabled the development of nanoplatelets and heterostructured nanoplatelets with multiple emission colors, spatially localized excitations, narrow emission, and high quantum yields over a wide spectral range. Moreover, nanoplatelets, with their large lateral extension and their thin short axis and low dielectric surroundings, can support one or several electron-hole pairs with large exciton binding energies. Thus, we also discuss how the relaxation processes and lifetime of the carriers and excitons are modified in nanoplatelets compared to both spherical quantum dots and epitaxial quantum wells. Finally, we explore how nanoplatelets, with their strong and narrow emission, can be considered as ideal candidates for pure-color light emitting diodes (LEDs), strong gain media for lasers, or for use in luminescent light concentrators.

Abstract
The hierarchically directed assembly of multiple types of colloidal nano-objects on surfaces is of interest for developing disruptive applications combining their original properties. We propose herein a versatile, electrostatically driven strategy to arrange various kinds of colloids vertically in the shape of 3D micropatterns by nanoxerography. We made the proof of concept of this vertical combinatorial nano-object patterning using two types of photoluminescent CdSe(S)/CdZnS core/shell nanoplatelets emitting in the red and green wavelengths as model colloidal nanoparticles. The key experimental parameters were investigated to tune the thickness of each independent level of nanoplatelets within the vertical stack. We finally applied such a concept to make dual-colored nanoplatelet patterns. Interestingly, we proved numerically that the relatively high index of the nanoplatelet level is responsible for the partially directed emissions observed in photoluminescence experiments.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed extensive breakthroughs and significant progress in atomically flat two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) in terms of synthesis, growth mechanisms, optical and electronic properties and practical applications. Such NPLs have electronic structures similar to those of quantum wells in which excitons are predominantly confined along the vertical direction, while electrons are free to move in the lateral directions, resulting in unique optical properties, such as extremely narrow emission line width, short photoluminescence (PL) lifetime, high gain coefficient, and giant oscillator strength transition (GOST). These unique optical properties make NPLs favorable for high color purity light-emitting applications, in particular in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), backlights for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and lasers. This review article first introduces the intrinsic characteristics of 2D semiconductor NPLs with atomic flatness. Subsequently, the approaches and mechanisms for the controlled synthesis of atomically flat NPLs are summarized followed by an insight on recent progress in the mediation of core/shell, core/crown and core/crown@shell structures by selective epitaxial growth of passivation layers on different planes of NPLs. Moreover, an overview of the unique optical properties and the associated light-emitting applications is elaborated. Despite great progress in this research field, there are some issues relating to heavy metal elements such as Cd2+ in NPLs, and the ambiguous gain mechanisms of NPLs and others are the main obstacles that prevent NPLs from widespread applications. Therefore, a perspective is included at the end of this review article, in which the current challenges in this stimulating research field are discussed and possible solutions to tackle these challenges are proposed.

Abstract
Nanocrystals (NCs) are now established building blocks for optoelectronics and their use as down converters for large gamut displays has been their first mass market. NC integration relies on a combination of green and red NCs into a blend, which rises post-growth formulation issues. A careful engineering of the NCs may enable dual emissions from a single NC population which violates Kasha’s rule, which stipulates that emission should occur at the band edge. Thus, in addition to an attentive control of band alignment to obtain green and red signals, non-radiative decay paths also have to be carefully slowed down to enable emission away from the ground state. Here, we demonstrate that core/crown/crown 2D nanoplatelets (NPLs), made of CdSe/CdTe/CdSe, can combine a large volume and a type-II band alignment enabling simultaneously red and narrow green emissions. Moreover, we demonstrate that the ratio of the two emissions can be tuned by the incident power, which results in a saturation of the red emission due to non-radiative Auger recombination that affects this emission much stronger than the green one. Finally, we also show that dual-color, power tunable, emission can be obtained through an electrical excitation. Nanocrystals are desirable light sources for advanced display technologies. Here, the authors report on double-crowned 2D semiconductor nanoplatelets as light downconverters that offer both green and red emissions to achieve a wide color gamut.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) have emerged as a promising family of two-dimensional (2D) optoelectronic materials with outstanding properties, including ultranarrow luminescence emission, nearly unity quantum yield, and large extinction coefficient. However, the performance of CQWs-based light-emitting diodes (CQW-LEDs) is far from satisfactory, particularly for deep red emissions (≥660 nm). Herein, high efficiency, ultra-low-efficiency roll-off, high luminance, and extremely saturated deep red CQW-LEDs are reported. A key feature for the high performance is the understanding of charge dynamics achieved by introducing an efficient electron transport layer, ZnMgO, which enables balanced charge injection, reduced nonradiative channels, and smooth films. The CQW-LEDs based on (CdSe/CdS)@(CdS/CdZnS) ((core/crown)@(colloidal atomic layer deposition shell/hot injection shell)) show an external quantum efficiency of 9.89%, which is a record value for 2D nanocrystal LEDs with deep red emissions. The device also exhibits an ultra-low-efficiency roll-off and a high luminance of 3853 cd m-2. Additionally, an exceptional color purity with the CIE coordinates of (0.719, 0.278) is obtained, indicating that the color gamut covers 102% of the International Telecommunication Union Recommendation BT 2020 (Rec. 2020) standard in the CIE 1931 color space, which is the best for CQW-LEDs. Furthermore, an active-matrix CQW-LED pixel circuit is demonstrated. The findings imply that the understanding of charge dynamics not only enables high-performance CQW-LEDs and can be further applied to other kinds of nanocrystal LEDs but also is beneficial to the development of CQW-LEDs-based display technology and related integrated optoelectronics.

Abstract
Recently, perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are seeing an increasing academic and industrial interest with a potential for a broad range of technologies including display, lighting, and signaling. The maximum external quantum efficiency of PeLEDs can overtake 20% nowadays, however, the lifetime of PeLEDs is still far from the demand of practical applications. In this review, state-of-the-art concepts to improve the lifetime of PeLEDs are comprehensively summarized from the perspective of the design of perovskite emitting materials, the innovation of device engineering, the manipulation of optical effects, and the introduction of advanced encapsulations. First, the fundamental concepts determining the lifetime of PeLEDs are presented. Then, the strategies to improve the lifetime of both organic-inorganic hybrid and all-inorganic PeLEDs are highlighted. Particularly, the approaches to manage optical effects and encapsulations for the improved lifetime, which are negligibly studied in PeLEDs, are discussed based on the related concepts of organic LEDs and Cd-based quantum-dot LEDs, which is beneficial to insightfully understand the lifetime of PeLEDs. At last, the challenges and opportunities to further enhance the lifetime of PeLEDs are introduced.

NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10122570. [PMID: 33371429 PMCID: PMC7767437 DOI: 10.3390/nano10122570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Semiconductor colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) are a promising new class of nanostructures that can bring much impact on lightning technologies, light-emitting diodes (LED), and laser fabrication. Indeed, great progress has been made in optimizing the optical properties of the NPLs for the visible spectral range, which has already made the implementation of a number of effective devices on their basis possible. To date, state-of-the-art near-infrared (NIR)-emitting NPLs are significantly inferior to their visible-range counterparts, although it would be fair to say that they received significantly less research attention so far. In this study, we report a comprehensive analysis of steady-state and time-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of four monolayered (ML) PbSe NPLs. The PL measurements are performed in a temperature range of 78–300 K, and their results are compared to those obtained for CdSe NPLs and PbSe quantum dots (QDs). We show that multiple emissive states, both band-edge and trap-related, are responsible for the formation of the NPLs’ PL band. We demonstrate that the widening of the PL band is caused by the inhomogeneous broadening rather than homogeneous one, and analyze the possible contributions to PL broadening.
