All documents mentioned in this specification are incorporated by reference to disclose and describe methods and/or materials related to the documents. In case of conflict with any incorporated document, the contents of this specification shall prevail.
[0035] It is apparent to those skilled in the art that many improvements and changes can be made to the specific embodiments of the disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the disclosure. Other embodiments will be apparent to the skilled person from the description of the disclosure. The specification and the embodiments of that disclosure are merely exemplary.
[0036] The terms including, comprising, having and containing used herein are all open terms, which means including but not limited to.
[0037] The term Room temperature in the disclosure means 15-30 C. unless otherwise specified.
[0038] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a preparation method of perovskite core-shell quantum dots (Cd:CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3/CdS), which includes: [0039] mixing lead source, cadmium source, oleic acid, oleylamine and organic solvent to dissolve the lead source and the cadmium source in the organic solvent and thereby obtain a first solution; [0040] adding cesium oleate solution into the first solution for a first reaction to thereby obtain a first reaction solution; and [0041] adding sulfur source into the first reaction solution for a second reaction to thereby obtain the perovskite core-shell quantum dots (Cd:CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3/CdS).
[0042] In an illustrated embodiment, the lead source is lead bromide (PbBr.sub.2), the cadmium source is a mixture of cadmium bromide (CdBr.sub.2) and cadmium chloride (CdCl.sub.2), and a molar ratio of CdBr.sub.2 to CdCl.sub.2 is 1:(1.5-2).
[0043] The reason why the molar ratio of CdBr.sub.2 to CdCl.sub.2 is limited to 1:(1.5-2) in the disclosure is that a peak value of a fluorescence spectrum will change when a ratio of Br and Cl in a system changes. When the molar ratio of CdBr.sub.2 to CdCl.sub.2 is in a range from 1:1.5 to 1:2, the fluorescence spectrum is in a range of deep blue light. Exceeding the above ratio range will lead to the fluorescence spectrum range exceeding the deep blue light range.
[0044] In the disclosure, CdBr.sub.2 and CdCl.sub.2 are used as the cadmium source, which can not only be used as precursors of a CdS shell, thereby simplifying a complicated injection process; but also be doped into a crystal lattice of perovskite (CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3), thereby improving the high-temperature stability of the perovskite. Therefore, the perovskite core-shell quantum dots do not undergo phase transformation or decomposition after long-time heating.
[0045] In an illustrated embodiment, a molar ratio of the lead source to the cadmium source is 2:3, a volume ratio of the oleic acid to the oleylamine is 1:1, and a molar volume ratio of the lead source to the oleic acid is 0.2 mmol:(1-1.5) mL.
[0046] The oleic acid and the oleylamine, as surface ligands, play a role in stabilizing the quantum dots and regulating the size and morphology of the quantum dots during a synthesis process of the PeQDs. The volume ratio of the oleic acid to the oleylamine is 1:1, which can ensure a shape of the generated quantum dots to be cubic. Too high volume ratio of the oleic acid to the oleylamine may lead to the change of the morphology of the quantum dots.
[0047] If the addition amount of the oleylamine and the oleic acid is too small, the solubility of metal salt (i.e., the lead source and the cadmium source) will decrease, so the disclosure limits the dosage of the oleylamine and the oleic acid to the above parameter range.
[0048] Too high or too low the molar ratio of lead (Pb) to cadmium (Cd) will lead to the change of the peak value of the fluorescence spectrum and decrease fluorescence quantum yield (PLQY). The lower molar ratio of Pb to Cd will cause serious lattice distortion, which will lead to the decrease of the PLQY and the deterioration of luminous performance. Therefore, the disclosure limits the molar ratio of the lead source to the cadmium source to 2:3.
[0049] In an illustrated embodiment, a temperature of the first reaction is 160 C.; a period of the first reaction is 5-10 seconds (s), more preferably 5 s; and a molar ratio of Cs.sup.+ in the cesium oleate solution to Pb.sup.2+ in the lead source is 0.28:1.
[0050] The reason why the temperature and the period of the first reaction are limited to the above parameters is that the crystallinity of the perovskite is the best when the molar ratio of Cs.sup.+ to Pb.sup.2+ is 0.28:1, too high or too low molar ration will lead to the deterioration of crystallinity of the perovskite and the formation of low-dimensional phases. The reaction condition of 160 C. can promote the rapid nucleation and growth of perovskite monomer and form quantum dots with uniform size, in constract, PeQDs grow slowly and insufficiently at a lower reaction temperature, resulting in a wider size distribution. After 5 s of the first reaction, the growth of PeQDs can be terminated by cooling in an ice water bath to avoid excessive growth.
[0051] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, a temperature of the second reaction is 155-165 C., and a period of the second reaction is 5-10 min.
[0052] The reason why the temperature and the period of the second reaction are limited to the above parameters is that at the temperature of 160 C., the sulfur source will slowly generate reaction precursors, and thus avoid self-nucleation of CdS and promote epitaxial growth of CdS on a surface of the perovskite. Excessive temperature will produce a large number of sulfur precursors, which will promote the self-nucleation of CdS. If the period of the second reaction is too long, the perovskite will undergo phase transformation, resulting in interface lattice mismatch. If the period of the second reaction is too short, the CdS shell will be too thin and the PLQY will be reduced.
[0053] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, the sulfur source is a sulfur-octadecene solution, a concentration of the sulfur-octadecene solution is 0.4 mmol/mL, and a molar volume ratio of the lead source to the sulfur source is 2 mmol:(5-7.5) mL.
[0054] The reasons why the concentration of the sulfur-octadecene solution and the molar volume ratio of the lead source to the sulfur source (that is, the mount of the sulfur-octadecene solution) are limited to the above-mentioned parameter ratios are as follows: the concentration of the sulfur-octadecene solution determines its reaction activity: too high concentration leads to too high activity and thereby CdS is prone to self-nucleation; too low concentration will lead to too low activity, and thereby CdS cannot be epitaxially grown on the surface of the quantum dots. The amount of the sulfur-octadecene determines a thickness of CdS shell. Too much sulfur-octadecene will lead to the generation of impurity PbS, and too little sulfur-octadecene will lead to an uneven coating of CdS shell on PeQDs.
[0055] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, the preparation method of the sulfur-octadecene solution includes: mixing sulfur (S) and octadecene for a third reaction to thereby obtain the sulfur-octadecene solution.
[0056] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, a temperature of the third reaction is 160 C., and a period of the third reaction is 1.2-2.5 h.
[0057] The reason for choosing the above temperature and period of the third reaction is that the heated sulfur-octadecene solution is a sulfur source with moderate reactivity, the perovskite core will not be eroded when the CdS is epitaxially growed on the surface of the perovskite, so the generated perovskite core-shell quantum dots are uniform in size and keep a cubic shape. The reason why the temperature and the period of the third reaction are limited to the above parameters is that the reaction activity of the sulfur-octadecene solution will be enhanced during a heating process of the sulfur-octadecene solution, and when the temperature is too low, it takes a longer time to generate the sulfur source with the same activity; and when the temperature is too high, the period needs to be reduced, and when a reaction speed is fast, so it is not easy to determine the activity. The period (i.e., reaction time) determines the activity of the sulfur source at 160 C., and the reaction time should not be too long, otherwise the activity of sulfur source is too high, the selectivity decreases in the process of synthesizing perovskite core-shell quantum dots, and PbS impurities will be generated.
[0058] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, the sulfur-octadecene solution is added by one-time injection. The reason why the disclosure adopts one-time injection is that the sulfur source of the disclosure has moderate reaction activity, and a large number of active precursors will not be generated rapidly by the one-time injection, therefore, self-nucleation of CdS is avoided, and the injection time has little influence on the reaction.
[0059] The core-shell quantum dots (Cd:CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3/CdS) prepared by the method of the disclosure adopt the method of injecting the CdS shell precursor (the sulfur-octadecene solution) at one time, thus simplifying the synthesis process. In addition, the perovskite/cadmium sulfide core-shell quantum dots (Cd:CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3/CdS) prepared by a thermal injection method have uniform quantum dot size and excellent deep blue light emitting performance.
[0060] In an illustrated embodiment of the disclosure, after the sulfur source is added into the first reaction solution for the second reaction, the preparation method further includes: obtaining a second reaction solution after the second reaction, cooling the second reaction solution to room temperature through an ice water bath to obtain a cooled reaction solution, and separating and purifying the cooled reaction solution by a high-speed centrifuge to obtain the core-shell quantum dots.
[0061] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the disclosure provides perovskite core-shell quantum dots (Cd:CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3/CdS), and the perovskite core-shell quantum dots are prepared by the preparation method described above.
[0062] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the disclosure provides an application method of the perovskite core-shell quantum dots (Cd:CsPb(Br.sub.1-xCl.sub.x).sub.3/CdS) described above, and the application includes: applying the core-shell quantum dots in illumination or display.
[0063] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the embodiments of the disclosure can be obtained through commercial channels.
[0064] The sulfur-octadecene solution used in the embodiment of the disclosure is prepared by the following steps: adding 128.4 mg of S and 10 mL of octadecene into a three-necked flask with a capacity of 100 mL to obtain a mixture; using a vacuum pump to remove water and oxygen in the three-necked flask for 20 min at room temperature, then heating the mixture to 100 C., vacuum drying the mixture for 10 min; and introducing nitrogen gas into the three-necked flask for protection, heating the mixture to 160 C. and keeping the temperature of 160 C. for 2 h, and finally naturally cooling the three-necked flask to room temperature to thereby obtain the sulfur-octadecene solution with a concentration of 0.4 mmol/mL.
[0065] The cesium oleate solution used in the embodiment of the disclosure is prepared by the following steps: adding 250 mg of Cs.sub.2CO.sub.3, 1 mL of oleic acid and 10 mL of octadecene into a three-necked flask with a capacity of 100 mL to obtain a mixture, using a vacuum pump to remove water and oxygen in the three-necked flask for 30 min at room temperature, then heating the mixture to 120 C., vacuum drying the mixture for 30 min, then introducing nitrogen into the three-necked flask for protection, heating the mixture to 150 C. to fully react Cs.sub.2CO.sub.3 with the oleic acid to obtain a clear and transparent solution, and cooling the clear and transparent solution to 90 C. for standby use, to thereby obtain the cesium oleate solution.
