Abstract:

Lead acetate, which is highly soluble in dimethylformamide, was used to synthesize mixed halide perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx (MA = CH3NH3, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3) nanocrystals (NCs). This method provides an approach to address the low solubility of lead halides, especially lead chloride. Different Br/Cl ratios in MAPbBr3-xClx lead to various optical properties. The photoluminescence emission peak can be tuned from 399 to 527 nm. Their full-widths at half-maxima (FWHM) are about 20 nm. MAPbBr3-xClx NCs have an average diameter of ~(11 ± 3) nm and have uniform dispersion in toluene. The MAPbBr3 NCs have a long average recombination lifetime (τave = 97.4 ns) and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 73%.
