Abstract
Lead-free double perovskite nanocrystals(NCs)have emerged as a promising candidate in the optical field,owing to their non-toxic,good moist heat and chemical stability.However,their poor optical proper-ties limited their application.To improve the optical properties of lead-free double perovskite NCs,metal ion doping or alloying had been suggested as a promising strategy.Here,we prepared monodisperse,uniformly sized,cubic morphology of Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs with different Na+incorporation amounts via a simple hot-injection method.The Na+incorporation broke the parity-forbidden transition by reducing the inversion symmetry of the electron wave function at the Ag site,which changed the parity of the self-trapped exciton wave function and thus allowed radiative recombination.As a result,the photolumi-nescence quantum yield(PLQY)of Na+-alloyed Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs(12.1%)was higher than that of Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs(2.4%),and the exciton lifetime of Na+-alloyed Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs increased to 36.98 ns from 17.58 ns for Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs.By adjusting the amount of Na+incorporation,the band gap of Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs can be significantly tuned from~2.90 eV to~3.50 eV.Furthermore,the temperature-dependent photolu-minescence spectra indicated that the Na+-alloyed Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs possessed higher longitudinal optical phonon energy and exciton binding energy compared to Cs2AgBiCl6 NCs.This suggested that there were strong exciton-phonon interactions during exciton recombination,a reduced probability of non-radiative processes,and excellent thermal stability.It offers a promising strategy for improving the optical proper-ties of lead-free double perovskite NCs,and have the potential to replace traditional lead halide perovskite NCs in future optoelectronic applications.
