For example, the cesium-containing precursor comprises cesium carbonate (Cs.sub.2CO.sub.3), cesium bromide (CsBr), cesium oleylamine (CsOAm), or cesium oleate (Cs-oleate).
(19) In step S2, the cesium-containing oleic acid precursor, a non-polar solvent, and a first nucleating agent are mixed together to form a first solution. In various embodiments, the non-polar solvent is selected from the group consisting of n-pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and chlorobenzene. In various embodiments, the first nucleating agent comprises oleic acid, oleylamine, or a combination thereof.

(24) In step S4, the second solution is stirred after the step of forming the second solution so as to form the perovskite luminescent nanocrystal. The perovskite luminescent nanocrystal has a chemical formula represented by: Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6, wherein B comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of Ge, Pb, Sn, Sb, Bi, Cu, and Mn, and X comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, and I, wherein the Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 luminescent nanocrystal has a pure phase, and a molar ratio of Cs to B (Cs/B) in the Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 luminescent nanocrystal is greater than 1 and less than 4 after an elemental analysis. The elemental analysis method used may be an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurement, an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) measurement, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurement, or other element identification methods. In the present embodiment, the second solution can be stirred in a nitrogen condition at room temperature. The room temperature may be from 20 C. to 30 C., for example, may be 22 C., 24 C., 26 C., or 28 C. In one embodiment, when the polarity difference between the polar solvent and the non-polar solvent is greater than or equal to 3 and less than 6, the perovskite luminescent nanocrystal having a particle size between 100 nm and 500 nm can be formed. In another embodiment, when the polarity difference between the polar solvent and the non-polar solvent is greater than or equal to 6 and less than or equal to 10, the perovskite luminescent nanocrystal having a particle size between 10 nm and 100 nm can be formed.
(25) A detailed operation example of a Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 perovskite luminescent nanocrystal manufactured by the micro-emulsion method is provided as follows. First, 6.9 mmol of Cs.sub.2CO.sub.3 and 21.5 mL of oleic acid are added to a 50 mL three-necked flask, and water is removed in a vacuum at 130 C. for one hour, and then being placed in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 130 C. to form a cesium oleate precursor. After that, 1 mL of the cesium oleate precursor, 10 mL of toluene, and 5 mL of oleic acid are added to a 50 mL three-necked flask to form a first solution. Next, after washing the first solution with nitrogen for 30 minutes, 0.15 mmol of PbX.sub.2 (wherein X is chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and/or iodine (I)), 15 L of 48% HBr, 0.5 mL of oleic acid, and 0.5 mL of oleylamine are added to form a second solution. The mixture is gently stirred at room temperature of 20 C. to 30 C. in a nitrogen atmosphere for 30 minutes to wait for the formation of the Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 perovskite luminescent nanocrystal. Finally, after centrifuging the solution at 8000 rpm for 6 minutes, the crystal product is reserved in 5 mL of toluene solution.
(26) As mentioned in the above operation example, in one experiment of the present invention, dimethyl formamide (DMF) of Table 1 with a polarity index of about 6.4 is selected as the polar solution, and toluene of Table 1 with a polarity index of about 2.4 is selected as the non-polar solution. The polarity difference between the two is about 4, and the Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 perovskite luminescent nanocrystal having a particle size between 100 nm and 500 nm can be obtained.
(27) One aspect of the present invention is to provide a perovskite luminescent nanocrystal. The perovskite luminescent nanocrystal has a chemical formula represented by: Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6, wherein B comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of Ge, Pb, Sn, Sb, Bi, Cu, and Mn, and X comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, and I. It is noted that the Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 luminescent nanocrystal has a pure phase, and a molar ratio of Cs to B (Cs/B) is greater than 1 and less than 4. The molar ratio of Cs to B (Cs/B) can be obtained by using an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), or other element identification methods.

It is noted that the working principle of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy is that different elements emit X-rays of different energies (wavelengths), and X-rays of different energies (wavelengths) are also emitted with transitions between different electron orbitals. For example, the orbital electron of the outer layer of the bromine (Br) atom leaps into the hole of the inner layer orbital (K layer) to emit X-rays. Similarly, the orbital electron of each of the Cs atom and the Pb atom leaps from the outer orbital into the hole of the inner orbit (L layer) to emit X-rays of different energies (wavelengths).

(39) In some embodiments, the light emitting material 820 may further comprise one or more other wavelength converting materials. In greater detail, the light emitting material 820 comprises an inorganic fluorescent powder and an organic fluorescent powder. In greater detail, the inorganic fluorescent powder may be an aluminate fluorescent powder (such as LuYAG, GaYAG, or YAG, etc.), a silicate fluorescent powder, a sulfide fluorescent powder, a nitride fluorescent powder, an oxide fluorescent powder, or a fluoride fluorescent powder, but the present invention is not limited in this regard. The organic fluorescent powder may be selected from a monomolecular structure, a multimolecular structure, an oligomer, or a polymer composed of one or more of the following compounds. Each of the compounds has a perylene group, a benzimidazole group, a naphthalene group, an anthracene group, a phenanthrene group, a fluorene group, a 9-fluorenone group, a carbazole group, a glutarimide group, a 1,3-diphenylbenzene group, a benzopyrene group, a pyrene group, a pyridine group, a thiophene group, a 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione group and/or a benzimidazole group.
(40) For example, a red fluorescent powder material may be, for example, a manganese-doped red fluoride fluorescent powder that is one or more fluorescent powders selected from the group consisting of the following: (A) A.sub.2[MF.sub.6]: Mn.sup.4+, wherein A is one or more selected from Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and NH4, and M comprises one or more selected from Ge, Si, Sn, Ti, and Zr; and (B) A.sub.3[MF.sub.6]: Mn.sup.4+, wherein A is selected from one or more of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and NH4, and M comprises one or more selected from Al, Ga, and In.
(41) In some embodiments, the above one or more wavelength converting materials receive the blue light or ultraviolet light emitted by the light emitting element 810 to emit second light rays. For example, a peak wavelength of the second light rays fall within the red wavelength range.
(42) In various embodiments, the light emitting device 800 may further comprise an encapsulation material 830, and the light emitting material 820 is dispersed in the encapsulation material 830. In greater detail, a material of the encapsulation material 830 may comprise one or more combinations selected from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), epoxy, and silicone, etc.
(43) In one embodiment, green Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 perovskite luminescent nanocrystals (for example, Cs.sub.4PbBr.sub.6), red K.sub.2SiF.sub.6: Mn.sup.4+ fluorescent powder, and AB glue for encapsulation are mixed and then dispensed on a blue chip. After curing, the photoluminescence spectrum and color coordinates are measured. The color coordinates in the CIE 1931 XYZ color space are (0.27, 0.24) and the gamut area reaches 129% of NTSC (National Television System Committee). It can be seen that the Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 perovskite luminescent nanocrystal is a very promising light emitting material at the application end of the backlit displays.
(44) In summary, the manufacturing method for the perovskite luminescent nanocrystal according to the present invention synthesizes the pure-phase Cs.sub.4BX.sub.6 perovskite crystal once. As compared with the common manufacturing method for the perovskite luminescent nanocrystal, it is simpler and more convenient. The perovskite luminescent nanocrystal according to the present invention has good photo-thermal stability and high luminous efficiency. In addition, when the perovskite luminescent nanocrystal described above is applied to a blue light emitting diode or an ultraviolet light emitting diode, it can be used as a light emitting device with high color purity and high quality, which in turn can be applied in a backlit display.
(45) Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain embodiments thereof, other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the embodiments contained herein.
