Perovskite Quantum Dots With Ultrahigh Solid-State Photoluminescence Quantum Efficiency, Superior Stability, And Uncompromised Electrical Conductivity

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), potentially applicable to highperformance display technologies, are facing challenges when the superior luminescence properties with high stability and uncompromised electrical conductivity are combined. Here, by introducing hexylamine sulfate and reducing the reaction rate, we managed to optimize the surface sacrificial coating of CsPbBr3 QDs. As a result, the colloidal PQDs show a photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) of 95.8% in solution, and an internal PLQE as high as 97.8% in solid-state films. As far as stability is concerned, the PQDs not only show excellent resistance to polar solvent but also can retain over 84% of the initial PL intensity after continuous heating at 100 degrees C for 60 min. More importantly, the superior stability is achieved without compromising electrical conductivity. The light-emitting diodes made from these PQDs show a current efficiency of 8.9 cd A(-1) with excellent thermal stability.
