Instantaneous, room-temperature, open-air atmosphere, solution-phase synthesis of perovskite quantum dots through halide exchange employing non-metal based inexpensive HCl/HI: ensemble and single particle spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Herein, the instantaneous synthesis of highly crystalline, uniform-sized (ca. 11.3 ± 0.1 nm), blue-to-green to yellow to red-emitting all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr₃ and mixed halide PQDs) was achieved at room temperature under an open-air atmosphere (no glove box) through halide exchange in the solution phase employing easily available, inexpensive non-metal-based halide sources such as HCl and HI. No complicated pre-treatment of the halide source was required. Moreover, these PQDs were stable for a few weeks under an open-air atmosphere. The PL emission spectra are quite narrow, and the PLQYs are quite high (80% for even Br/I mixed PQDs). At the single particle level, the 〈ON fraction〉 has been noted to vary from 75% to 85% for different PQDs, the m
