Abstract

We report a simple and low-cost at room temperature and atmospheric pressure synthetic method for highly stable and photoluminescence (PL) Mn2+-doped CsPb(Br/Cl)3 nanocrystal (NCs) thin films with high Mn-to-Pb feed ratio. The XRD, EDS, and XPS results confirm that Mn ions can be significantly doped in host CsPb(Br/Cl)3 NCs. PL spectra show multi-color luminescence, which is related to host exciton and Mn2+ dopant state emission, respectively. In addition, the optical properties of Mn2+-doped NCs present the good thermal stability even after 35 days. Furthermore, light-emitting diodes were constructed by employing as-prepared Mn2+-doped NCs (Mn-to-Pb feed ratio of 5:1) and CsPbBr3 with the commercial UV chip, demonstrating that Mn2+-doped NCs are applicable to the color converters for the potential field of lighting and display.
