[PMID: 37836344 PMCID: PMC10574356 DOI: 10.3390/nano13192703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) have emerged as a promising class of luminescent materials offering size and composition-tunable luminescence with high efficiency and color purity in the visible range. PeNCs doped with Yb3+ ions, known for their near-infrared (NIR) emission properties, have gained significant attention due to their potential applications. However, these materials still face challenges with weak NIR electroluminescence (EL) emission and low external quantum efficiency (EQE), primarily due to undesired resonance energy transfer (RET) occurring between the host and Yb3+ ions, which adversely affects their emission efficiency and device performance. Herein, we report the synergistic enhancement of NIR emission in a CsPbCl3 host through co-doping with Yb3+/Nd3+ ions for perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs). The co-doping of Yb3+/Nd3+ ions in a CsPbCl3 host resulted in enhanced NIR emission above 1000 nm, which is highly desirable for NIR optoelectronic applications. This cooperative energy transfer between Yb3+ and Nd3+ can enhance the overall efficiency of energy conversion. Furthermore, the PeLEDs incorporating the co-doped CsPbCl3/Yb3+/Nd3+ PeNCs as an emitting layer exhibited significantly enhanced NIR EL compared to the single doped PeLEDs. The optimized co-doped PeLEDs showed improved device performance, including increased EQE of 6.2% at 1035 nm wavelength and low turn-on voltage. Our findings highlight the potential of co-doping with Yb3+ and Nd3+ ions as a strategy for achieving synergistic enhancement of NIR emission in CsPbCl3 perovskite materials, which could pave the way for the development of highly efficient perovskite LEDs for NIR optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Halide perovskites (HPs) recently have emerged as one class of competitive scintillators for X-ray detection and imaging owing to its high quantum efficiency, short decay time, superior X-ray absorption capacity, low cost, and ease of crystal growth. The tunable structure and versatile chemical compositions of halide perovskites provide distinguishable advantages over traditional inorganic scintillators for optimizing scintillation performance. Since the first observation of the scintillation phenomenon in HPs, substantial efforts have been devoted to expanding the inventory of HP scintillators and regulating material properties. Understanding the relationship between the structure and scintillation properties of HP scintillators is essential for developing materials with improved X-ray detection and imaging capacities. This review summarizes strategies for improving the light yield of HP scintillators and provides a roadmap for improving the X-ray imaging performance. Additionally, methods for controlling the light propagation direction in HP scintillators are highlighted for improving X-ray imaging resolution. Finally, we highlight the current challenge in HP scintillators and provide a perspective on the future development of this emerging scintillator.

Ytterbium-Doped Lead-Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals: Synthesis, Near-Infrared Emission, and Open-Source Machine Learning Model for Prediction of Optical Properties. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13040744. [PMID: 36839112 PMCID: PMC9958719 DOI: 10.3390/nano13040744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals are an attractive class of materials since they can be easily fabricated, their optical properties can be tuned all over the visible spectral range, and they possess high emission quantum yields and narrow photoluminescence linewidths. Doping perovskites with lanthanides is one of the ways to widen the spectral range of their emission, making them attractive for further applications. Herein, we summarize the recent progress in the synthesis of ytterbium-doped perovskite nanocrystals in terms of the varying synthesis parameters such as temperature, ligand molar ratio, ytterbium precursor type, and dopant content. We further consider the dependence of morphology (size and ytterbium content) and optical parameters (photoluminescence quantum yield in visible and near-infrared spectral ranges) on the synthesis parameters. The developed open-source code approximates those dependencies as multiple-parameter linear regression and allows us to estimate the value of the photoluminescence quantum yield from the parameters of the perovskite synthesis. Further use and promotion of an open-source database will expand the possibilities of the developed code to predict the synthesis protocols for doped perovskite nanocrystals.
