Abstract
Cesium bismuth bromide (CBB) has garnered considerable attention as a vacancy-ordered layered perovskite with notable optoelectronic applications. However, its use as a light source has been limited due to its weak photoluminescence (PL). Here, we demonstrate metal intercalation as a novel approach to engineer the room-temperature PL of CBB using experimental and computational methods. Ag, when introduced into CBB, occupies vacant sites in the spacer region, forming octahedral coordination with surrounding Br anions. First-principles density functional theory calculations reveal that intercalated Ag represents the most energetically stable Ag species compared to other potential forms, such as Ag substituting Bi. The intercalated Ag forms a strong polaronic trap state close to the conduction band minimum and quickly captures photoexcited electrons with holes remaining in CBB layers, leading to the formation of a bound interlayer exciton, or BIE. The radiative recombination of this BIE exhibits bright room-temperature PL at 600 nm and a decay time of 38.6 ns, 35 times greater than that of free excitons, originating from the spatial separation of photocarriers by half a unit cell separation distance. The BIE as a new form of interlayer exciton is expected to inspire new research directions for vacancy-ordered perovskites.

Fine-Tuning Crystal Structures of Lead Bromide Perovskite Nanocrystals through Trace Cadmium(II) Doping for Efficient Color-Saturated Green LEDs. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403996. [PMID: 38679568 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Decreasing perovskite nanocrystal size increases radiative recombination due to the quantum confinement effect, but also increases the Auger recombination rate which leads to carrier imbalance in the emitting layers of electroluminescent devices. Here, we overcome this trade-off by increasing the exciton effective mass without affecting the size, which is realized through the trace Cd2+ doping of formamidinium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals. We observe an ~2.7 times increase in the exciton binding energy benefiting from a slight distortion of the [BX6]4- octahedra caused by doping in the case of that the Auger recombination rate is almost unchanged. As a result, bright color-saturated green emitting perovskite nanocrystals with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 96 % are obtained. Cd2+ doping also shifts up the energy levels of the nanocrystals, relative to the Fermi level so that heavily n-doped emitters convert into only slightly n-doped ones; this boosts the charge injection efficiency of the corresponding light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting devices based on those nanocrystals reached a high external quantum efficiency of 29.4 % corresponding to a current efficiency of 123 cd A-1, and showed dramatically improved device lifetime, with a narrow bandwidth of 22 nm and Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage coordinates of (0.20, 0.76) for color-saturated green emission for the electroluminescence peak centered at 534 nm, thus being fully compliant with the latest standard for wide color gamut displays.

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling in the electronic states of solution-processed hybrid metal halide perovskites forms complex spin-textures in the band structures and allows for optical manipulation of the excited state spin-polarizations. Here, we report that motional narrowing acts on the photoexcited spin-polarization in CH3NH3PbBr3 thin films, which are doped at percentage-level with Mn2+ ions. Using ultrafast circularly polarized broadband transient absorption spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures, we investigate the spin population dynamics in these doped hybrid perovskites and find that spin relaxation lifetimes are increased by a factor of 3 compared to those of undoped materials. Using quantitative analysis of the photoexcitation cooling processes, we reveal increased carrier scattering rates in the doped perovskites as the fundamental mechanism driving spin-polarization-maintaining motional narrowing. Our work reports transition-metal doping as a concept to extend spin lifetimes of hybrid perovskites.

Abstract
The facet chemistry of halide perovskite nanocrystals plays a key role in designing nanoscale epitaxial heterostructures. However, despite significant successes achieved in designing these nanocrystals, their heterostructures with several leading transition metals could not be established yet. Herein, the possible heterostructures of metals beyond transition metals are explored and the epitaxial combinations of soft CsPbBr3 nanocrystals with the post-transition metal Bi(0) are reported. These heterostructures are built with interfacing facets having hexagonal atomic configurations of both the rhombicuboctahedron CsPbBr3 and octahedral Bi(0). A high reaction temperature and the presence of alkylamine kept Bi(III) in reduced form and helped in sustaining these CsPbBr3-Bi(0) heteronanocrystals. Since understanding of and synthesis optimization of metal-halide perovskite heterostructures are limited, this finding adds a new fundamental insight in designing ionic and nonionic materials heterojunctions. Furthermore, oxidation and sulfidation of Bi(0) are studied, and the possible oxide/sulfide heterostructures with CsPbBr3 are discussed.

Abstract
We report a mechanistic study of the photoluminescence (PL) enhancement in CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) induced by organic/inorganic hybrid ligand engineering. Compared to the as-synthesized oleic acid-oleylamine modified PNCs, the tributylphosphine oxide-CaBr2 modified PNCs can achieve a better passivation effect due to strong P═O-Pb coordination and Br-vacancy remedy, resulting in enhanced PL efficiency. We employ steady-state/time-resolved/temperature-dependent PL and fluence/polarization-dependent ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy to obtain a mechanistic understanding of such an enhancement effect from both nonradiative and radiative perspectives. As for the dominating nonradiative recombination suppression, we quantitatively evaluate the contributions from channels of exciton dissociation and exciton trapping, which are connected to exciton binding energy and activation energy of exciton trapping to surface defect-induced trap states, respectively. We also look into the radiative recombination enhancement, which is likely due to the increase in electron-hole overlap of photogenerated excitons induced by slight Ca-doping. These mechanistic insights would be of guiding value for perovskite-based light-emitting applications.

Abstract
The interface microenvironment of doped quantum dots (QDs) is crucial in optimizing the properties associated with the photogenerated excitons. However, the imprecision of QDs' surface structures and compositions impedes a thorough understanding of the modulation mechanism caused by the complex interface microenvironment, particularly distinguishing the contribution of surface dopants from inner ones. Herein, we investigated interface-mediated emission using a unique model of an atomically precise chalcogenide semiconductor nanocluster containing uniform near-surface Mn2+ dopants. Significantly, we discovered that Mn2+ ions can directly transfer charges with hydrogen-bonding-bound electron-rich alkylamines with matched molecular configurations and electronic structures at the interface. This work provides a new pathway, the use of atomically precise nanoclusters, for analyzing and enhancing the interface-dependent properties of various doped QDs, including chalcogenides and perovskites.

Abstract
Designing heterostructures of soft ionic nanocrystals with metallic or covalent nanostructures having epitaxial junctions in solution poses several fundamental challenges. Hence, in spite of large successes in developing lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, the chemistry of formation of their facet-directive epitaxial growth of noble metals cannot be explored yet. To address this, herein, epitaxial heterostructures of orthorhombic CsPbBr3 and cubic Pt in multiple directional approaches are reported. Appropriate facets of perovskite nanocrystals and high-temperature reaction are the key parameters for obtaining such nanocrystal heterostructures. Interfacial planes at the junctions having ideal lattice matching helped in establishing the epitaxial relations of (110) of orthorhombic (space group Pbnm) CsPbBr3 with {020} of cubic Pt and again (011) of CsPbBr3 with {111} of Pt. These results provided strong fundamental insights that ionic halide perovskite nanostructures and materials having different crystal phases can be placed in a single building block with continuous sublattice structures.

Abstract
The grain sizes of soft CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) thin films and the atomic contact strength at the MAPbI3/P3CT-Na interface are manipulated by varying the drying time of the saturated MAPbI3 precursor solutions, which influences the device performance and lifespan of the resultant inverted perovskite photovoltaic cells. The atomic-force microscopy images, cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy images, photoluminescence spectra and absorbance spectra show that the increased short-circuit current density (J SC) and increased fill factor (FF) are mainly due to the formation of merged MAPbI3 grains. Besides, the open-circuit voltage (V OC) of the encapsulated photovoltaic cells largely increases from 1.01 V to 1.15 V, thereby increasing the power conversion efficiency from 17.89% to 19.55% after 30 days, which can be explained as due to the increased carrier density of the MAPbI3 crystalline thin film. It is noted that the use of the optimized drying time during the spin coating process results in the formation of merged MAPbI3 grains while keeping the contact quality at the MAPbI3/P3CT-Na interface, which boosts the device performance and lifespan of the resultant perovskite photovoltaic cells.

Abstract
Low-dimensional Cu(I)-based metal halide materials are gaining attention due to their low toxicity, high stability and unique luminescence mechanism, which is mediated by self-trapped excitons (STEs). Among them, Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 , which emits blue light, is a promising candidate for applications as a next-generation blue-emitting material. In this article, an optimized colloidal process to synthesize uniform Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 nanocrystals (NCs) with a superior quantum yield (QY) is proposed. In addition, precise control of the synthesis parameters, enabling anisotropic growth and emission wavelength shifting is demonstrated. The synthesized Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs have an excellent photoluminescence (PL) retention rate, even at high temperature, and exhibit high stability over multiple heating-cooling cycles under ambient conditions. Moreover, under 850-nm femtosecond laser irradiation, the NCs exhibit three-photon absorption (3PA)-induced PL, highlighting the possibility of utilizing their nonlinear optical properties. Such thermally stable and highly luminescent Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs with nonlinear optical properties overcome the limitations of conventional blue-emitting nanomaterials. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of the colloidal synthesis of Cs5 Cu3 Cl6 I2 NCs and a foundation for further research.

Abstract
Transition-metal doping in perovskite nanocrystals strongly alters the photophysical properties of these nanocrystals. However, the details of the underlying thermal and optical processes within such an intriguing symmetry-breaking nanosystem are far from clear. Herein, we study the sensitively temperature-dependent and highly competent delocalized exciton and transition-metal ion-captured carrier recombination processes in manganese-doped CsPbBr0.6Cl2.4 nanocrystals. The combined experimental and theoretical studies reveal that both the exciton ionization and capture of the band-edge carriers by the manganese ions play the dominant roles in determining the proportion of the manganese ions-dominated recombination process. A density functional theory calculation of the temporal fluctuation of the manganese ions-accommodated localized orbitals further confirms that the thermally enhanced nonadiabatic electron-phonon coupling promotes the probability of the carrier localization. These findings reveal the respective crucial roles of the exciton ionization and carrier capture in the localized recombination process in the transition-metal-doped semiconductor nanocrystals.

Abstract
Electronic doping has endowed colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) with unique optical and electronic properties, holding great potential for future optoelectronic device concepts. Unfortunately, how photogenerated hot carriers interact with phonons in these doped CQWs still remains an open question. Here, through investigating the emission properties, we have observed an efficient phonon cascade process (i.e., up to 27 longitudinal optical phonon replicas are revealed in the broad Cu emission band at room temperature) and identified a giant Huang-Rhys factor (S ≈ 12.4, more than 1 order of magnitude larger than reported values of other inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials) in Cu-doped CQWs. We argue that such an ultrastrong electron-phonon coupling in Cu-doped CQWs is due to the dopant-induced lattice distortion and the dopant-enhanced density of states. These findings break the widely accepted consensus that electron-phonon coupling is typically weak in quantum-confined systems, which are crucial for optoelectronic applications of doped electronic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Band-edge modulation of halide perovskites as photoabsorbers plays significant roles in the application of photovoltaic and photochemical systems. Here, Lewis acidity of dopants (M) as the new descriptor of engineering the band-edge position of the perovskite is investigated in the gradiently doped perovskite along the core-to-surface (CsPbBr3-CsPb1-xMxBr3). Reducing M-bromide bond strength with an increase in hardness of acidic M increases the electron ability of basic Br, thus strengthening the Pb-Br orbital coupling in M-Pb-Br, noted as the inductive effect of dopants. Especially, the highly hard Lewis acidic Mg localized in the outer position of the perovskite induces the increase of work function and then shifts band edge upward along the core-to-surface of the perovskite. Thus, charge separation driven by the dopant-induced internal electric field induces the slow annihilation of the excited holes, improving the slow aromatic Csp3-H dissociation in the photocatalytic oxidation process by ∼211% (491.39 μmol g-1 h-1) enhancements, compared with undoped nanocrystals.

Abstract
Low-cost, nontoxic, and earth-abundant photovoltaic materials are long-sought targets in the solar cell research community. Perovskite-inspired materials have emerged as promising candidates for this goal, with researchers employing materials design strategies including structural, dimensional, and compositional transformations to avoid the use of rare and toxic elemental constituents, while attempting to maintain high optoelectronic performance. These strategies have recently been invoked to propose Ti-based vacancy-ordered halide perovskites (A2TiX6; A = CH3NH3, Cs, Rb, or K; X = I, Br, or Cl) for photovoltaic operation, following the initial promise of Cs2SnX6 compounds. Theoretical investigations of these materials, however, consistently overestimate their band gaps, a fundamental property for photovoltaic applications. Here, we reveal strong excitonic effects as the origin of this discrepancy between theory and experiment, a consequence of both low structural dimensionality and band localization. These findings have vital implications for the optoelectronic application of these compounds while also highlighting the importance of frontier-orbital character for chemical substitution in materials design strategies.

Abstract
All-inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals are next-generation materials with excellent optical and semiconductor properties suitable for display applications. In this study, we introduce an optimized ultrasonication method for the high-capacity synthesis of highly luminescent inorganic perovskite nanocrystals. After the synthesis of CsPbBr3 with superior optical performance by ultrasonication method, halide anion exchange was performed to tune the stable emission wavelength over the entire visible range. In particular, the maximum photoluminescence wavelengths of the red and green perovskite nanocrystals were appropriate for light-emitting diode applications, and their full-width-at-half-maximum were very narrow, showing outstanding color purity. The materials also had excellent thermal and photo-stability, which is a necessary requirement for perovskite nanocrystal/organic light-emitting diode hybrid device applications. We formulated uniformly stable perovskite nanocrystal inks and optimized their physical and rheological properties for successful inkjet-printing. Finally, we fabricated a hybrid device with a color conversion layer based on the red and green perovskite nanocrystals synthesized using the optimized ultrasonication and halide-ion-exchange methods. The color reproduction range of the fabricated devices was 27.3 % wider than that of the National Television System Committee values, indicating very vivid colors.

Abstract
![]()
Metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals have demonstrated
excellent
optoelectronic properties for light-emitting applications. Isovalent
doping with various metals (M2+) can be used to tailor
and enhance their light emission. Although crucial to maximize performance,
an understanding of the universal working mechanism for such doping
is still missing. Here, we directly compare the optical properties
of nanocrystals containing the most commonly employed dopants, fabricated
under identical synthesis conditions. We show for the first time unambiguously,
and supported by first-principles calculations and molecular orbital
theory, that element-unspecific symmetry-breaking rather than element-specific
electronic effects dominate these properties under device-relevant
conditions. The impact of most dopants on the perovskite electronic
structure is predominantly based on local lattice periodicity breaking
and resulting charge carrier localization, leading to enhanced radiative
recombination, while dopant-specific hybridization effects play a
secondary role. Our results suggest specific guidelines for selecting
a dopant to maximize the performance of perovskite emitters in the
desired optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
"Spin" has been recently reported as an important degree of electronic freedom to improve the performance of electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. This work demonstrates the manipulations of spin-polarized electrons in CsPbBr3 halide perovskite nanoplates (NPLs) to boost the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) efficiencies by doping manganese cations (Mn2+) and applying an external magnetic field. Mn-doped CsPbBr3 (Mn-CsPbBr3) NPLs exhibit an outstanding photocatalytic CO2RR compared to pristine CsPbBr3 NPLs due to creating spin-polarized electrons after Mn doping. Notably, the photocatalytic CO2RR of Mn-CsPbBr3 NPLs is significantly enhanced by applying an external magnetic field. Mn-CsPbBr3 NPLs exhibit 5.7 times improved performance of photocatalytic CO2RR under a magnetic field of 300 mT with a permanent magnet compared to pristine CsPbBr3 NPLs. The corresponding mechanism is systematically investigated by magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, and density functional theory simulation. The origin of enhanced photocatalytic CO2RR efficiencies of Mn-CsPbBr3 NPLs is due to the increased number of spin-polarized photoexcited carriers by synergistic doping of the magnetic elements and applying a magnetic field, resulting in prolonged carrier lifetime and suppressed charge recombination. Our result shows that manipulating spin-polarized electrons in photocatalytic semiconductors provides an effective strategy to boost photocatalytic CO2RR efficiencies.

Abstract
Colloidal metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (MHP NCs) are gaining significant attention for a wide range of optoelectronics applications owing to their exciting properties, such as defect tolerance, near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield, and tunable emission across the entire visible wavelength range. Although the optical properties of MHP NCs are easily tunable through their halide composition, they suffer from light-induced halide phase segregation that limits their use in devices. However, MHPs can be synthesized in the form of colloidal nanoplatelets (NPls) with monolayer (ML)-level thickness control, exhibiting strong quantum confinement effects, and thus enabling tunable emission across the entire visible wavelength range by controlling the thickness of bromide or iodide-based lead-halide perovskite NPls. In addition, the NPls exhibit narrow emission peaks, have high exciton binding energies, and a higher fraction of radiative recombination compared to their bulk counterparts, making them ideal candidates for applications in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This review discusses the state-of-the-art in colloidal MHP NPls: synthetic routes, thickness-controlled synthesis of both organic-inorganic hybrid and all-inorganic MHP NPls, their linear and nonlinear optical properties (including charge-carrier dynamics), and their performance in LEDs. Furthermore, the challenges associated with their thickness-controlled synthesis, environmental and thermal stability, and their application in making efficient LEDs are discussed.

Abstract
Hot carrier (HC) cooling accounts for the significant energy loss in lead halide perovskite (LHP) solar cells. Here, we study HC relaxation dynamics in Mn-doped LHP CsPbI3 nanocrystals (NCs), combining transient absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We demonstrate that Mn2+ doping (1) enlarges the longitudinal optical (LO)-acoustic phonon bandgap, (2) enhances the electron-LO phonon coupling strength, and (3) adds HC relaxation pathways via Mn orbitals within the bands. The spectroscopic study shows that the HC cooling process is decelerated after doping under band-edge excitation due to the dominant phonon bandgap enlargement. When the excitation photon energy is larger than the optical bandgap and the Mn2+ transition gap, the doping accelerates the cooling rate owing to the dominant effect of enhanced carrier-phonon coupling and relaxation pathways. We demonstrate that such a phenomenon is optimal for the application of hot carrier solar cells. The enhanced electron-LO phonon coupling and accelerated cooling of high-temperature hot carriers efficiently establish a high-temperature thermal quasi-equilibrium where the excessive energy of the hot carriers is transferred to heat the cold carriers. On the other hand, the enlarged phononic band-gap prevents further cooling of such a quasi-equilibrium, which facilitates the energy conversion process. Our results manifest a straightforward methodology to optimize the HC dynamics for hot carrier solar cells by element doping.

Abstract
We investigated the magnetic effect of Mn2+ ions on an exciton of Mn-doped CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs), where we looked for the signatures of an exciton magnetic polaron known to produce a large effective magnetic field in Mn-doped CdSe QDs. In contrast to Mn-doped CdSe QDs that can produce ∼100 T of magnetic field upon photoexcitation, manifested as a large change in the energy and relaxation dynamics of a bright exciton, Mn-doped CsPbI3 QDs exhibited little influence of a magnetic dopant on the behavior of a bright exciton. However, a μs-lived dark exciton in CsPbI3 QDs showed 40% faster decay in the presence of Mn2+, equivalent to the effect of ∼3 T of an external magnetic field. While further study is necessary to fully understand the origin of the large difference in the magneto-optic property of an exciton in two systems, we consider that the difference in antiferromagnetic coupling of the dopants is an important contributing factor.

Abstract
Materials combining semiconductor functionalities with spin control are desired for the advancement of quantum technologies. Here, we study the magneto-optical properties of novel paramagnetic Ruddlesden-Popper hybrid perovskites Mn:(PEA)2PbI4 (PEA = phenethylammonium) and report magnetically brightened excitonic luminescence with strong circular polarization from the interaction with isolated Mn2+ ions. Using a combination of superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry, magneto-absorption and transient optical spectroscopy, we find that a dark exciton population is brightened by state mixing with the bright excitons in the presence of a magnetic field. Unexpectedly, the circular polarization of the dark exciton luminescence follows the Brillouin-shaped magnetization with a saturation polarization of 13% at 4 K and 6 T. From high-field transient magneto-luminescence we attribute our observations to spin-dependent exciton dynamics at early times after excitation, with first indications for a Mn-mediated spin-flip process. Our findings demonstrate manganese doping as a powerful approach to control excitonic spin physics in Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites, which will stimulate research on this highly tuneable material platform with promise for tailored interactions between magnetic moments and excitonic states.
