MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0075] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0077] In the following description, it will be understood that when an element such as a layer, a region, or substrate is referred to as being ‘on’ another layer, region, or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer, region, or substrate, or intervening layers, regions, or substrates may also be present.

[0078] Although the terms such as “first,” “second,” etc., are used to describe various element, components, regions, layers, and/or portions, it is obvious that the elements, components, regions, layers, and/or portions should not be defined by these terms.

[0079] The perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0080] The perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a perovskite nanocrystal structure that is dispersible in an organic solvent. Here, the perovskite may be organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or inorganic metal halide perovskite.

[0081] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a perovskite nanocrystal structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] FIG. 1 illustrates structures of an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal and an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 1, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal has a structure with a center metal centered in a face centered cubic (FCC), in which six inorganic halide materials X are respectively located on all surfaces of a hexahedron, and in a body centered cubic (BCC), in which eight organic ammonium OA or inorganic cation are respectively located at all vertexes of a hexahedron. Here, Pb is illustrated as an example of the center metal.

[0084] Also, the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal has structure with a center metal centered in a face centered cubic (FCC), in which six inorganic halide materials X are respectively located on all surfaces of a hexahedron, and in a body centered cubic (BCC), in which eight alkali metals are respectively located at all vertexes of a hexahedron. Here, Pb is illustrated as an example of the center metal.

[0085] Here, all sides of the hexahedron have an angle of 90° with respect to each other. The above-described structure may include a cubic structure having the same length in horizontal, vertical, and height directions and a tetragonal structure having different lengths in the horizontal, vertical, and height directions.

[0086] Thus, a two-dimensional (2D) structure according to the present invention may be the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure with a center metal centered in a face centered cubic, in which six inorganic halide materials X are respectively located on all surfaces of a hexahedron, and in a body centered cubic, in which eight organic ammonium or inorganic cations are respectively located at all vertexes of a hexahedron and be defined as a structure of which a horizontal length and a vertical length are the same, but a height length is longer by 1.5 times or more than each of the horizontal length and the vertical length.

[0087] FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter and an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] FIG. 2 illustrates the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter. The inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention may be the same as the above-described organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle except that the A site is the alkali metal instead of the organic ammonium. Here, the alkali metal material, e.g., the A may be Na, K, Rb, Cs, or Fr.

[0089] Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite will be described as an example.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 2, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle 100 may include an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 110 that is dispersible in an organic solvent. Here, the organic solvent may be a polar solvent or a non-polar solvent.

[0091] For example, the polar (aprotic or protic) solvent may include dimethylformamide, gamma butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide or isopropyl alcohol, and the non-polar solvent may include dichloroethylene, trichlorethylene, chloroform, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, styrene, xylene, toluene, or cyclohexene.

[0092] Also, the nanocrystal particle 100 has a spherical, cylindrical, cylindroid, polyprism or two-dimensional (lamellar, plate) shape.

[0093] Also, the nanocrystal particle has to have a size greater than a Bohr diameter beyond a quantum confinement effect or a quantum size effect. In detail, the nanocrystal particle has to have a size of 2 nm to 900 nm. More preferably, the nanocrystal particle has a size of 20 nm to about 30 nm. Here, the size of the nanocrystal particle represents a size without considering a size of a ligand that will be described later, i.e., a size of a remaining portion except for the ligand.

[0094] For example, when the nanocrystal particle has the spherical shape, the nanocrystal particle may have a diameter of 20 nm to 30 nm.

[0095] The present invention is characterized in that the bandgap energy of the nanocrystal particle is determined by a structure of the perovskite crystal, unlike that the inorganic quantum dot light-emitter depends on the particle size according to the quantum confinement effect.

[0096] However, if the nanocrystal particle has a size less than the Bohr diameter, e.g., 10 nm, the bandgap may be changed by the particle size. Furthermore, since it is difficult to adjust the distribution of the particle size in the nanocrystal particle having a size less than 10 nm, it is difficult to realize high color purity. Although the Bohr diameter varies according to the structure of the material, the Bohr diameter may generally be 10 nm or more. Thus, when the diameter of particle is less than 10 nm, an emission wavelength may be changed even though the particle has the perovskite structure. However, since a change in emission wavelength depending on the particle size is more finally controlled in the synthesis of the particle and processing, it may be a disadvantage in mass production.

[0097] Also, if the nanocrystal particle has a size exceeding 30 nm, luminescence of the exciton does not efficiently occur at room temperature by thermal ionization and delocalization of the charge carrier, and the exciton is separated as free charge carriers and then annihilated, thus the luminescence efficiency may be reduced.

[0098] Also, the nanocrystal particle may have bandgap energy of 1 eV to 5 eV.

[0099] Thus, since the energy bandgap is determined according to the composition and the crystal structure of the nanocrystal particle, the composition of the nanocrystal particle may be adjusted to emit light having a wavelength of, for example, 200 nm to 1300 nm.

[0100] The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite material may include a structure of ABX.sub.3, A.sub.2BX.sub.4, ABX.sub.4, or A.sub.n−1BnX.sub.3n+1 (where n is an integer between 2 to 6), where the A may be organic ammonium, the B may be a metal material, and the X may be a halogen element.

[0101] For example, the organic ammonium may be amidinium group organic ions (e.g., formamidinium (NH.sub.2CH═NH.sup.+) ions, acetamidinium (NH.sub.2C(CH)═NH.sub.2.sup.+) ions, guamidinium (NHC(NH)═NH.sup.+) ions, organic ammonium anion ((CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((CH.sub.xH.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, (RNH.sub.3).sub.2, (C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2, (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3), (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2, (CH (NH.sub.2).sub.2), C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1(C(NH.sub.2).sub.2), (C.sub.nF.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2), Cs, Rb, K, or a combination thereof (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and x is an integer equal to or greater than 1).

[0102] The B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof. Here, the rare earth metal may be, for example, Ge, Sn, Pb, Eu, or Yb. Also, alkali earth metal may be, for example, Ca or Sr. Also, the X may be Cl, Br, I, or a combination thereof.

[0103] A plurality of organic ligands 120 surrounding the surface of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle 110 may be further provided.

[0104] Each of the organic ligands may include alkyl halide or a carboxylic acid or an amines.

[0105] The alkyl halide may have a structure of alkyl-X. Here, the halogen element corresponding to the X may include Cl, Br, or I. Also, the alkyl structure may include acyclic alkyl having a structure of C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1, primary alcohol having a structure such as C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1OH, secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, alkylamine having a structure of alkyl-N (e.g., hexadecyl amine, 9-Octadecenylamine 1-Amino-9-octadecene (C.sub.19H.sub.37N)), p-substituted aniline, phenyl ammonium, or fluorine ammonium, but is not limited thereto.

[0106] The carboxylic acid may include a 4,4′-Azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), an acetic acid, a 5-aminosalicylic acid, an acrylic acid, an L-aspentic acid, a 6-bromohexanoic acid, a bromoacetic acid, a dichloro acetic acid, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, an isobutyric acid, an itaconic acid, a maleic acid, an r-maleimidobutyric acid, an L-malic acid, a 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, a 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, or an oleic acid.

[0107] The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to the present invention may provide a nanocrystal particle having various bandgaps according to halogen element substitution.

[0108] For example, the nanocrystal particles that have the CH.sub.3NH.sub.3PbCl.sub.3 organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may have bandgap energy of about 3.1 eV. For example, the nanocrystal particles that have the CH.sub.3NH.sub.3PbBr.sub.3 organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may have bandgap energy of about 2.3 eV. For example, the nanocrystal particles that have the CH.sub.3NH.sub.3PbI.sub.3 organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may have bandgap energy of about 1.5 eV.

[0109] Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to the present invention may provide a nanocrystal particle having various bandgaps according to organic element substitution.

[0110] For example, in the (C.sub.nH.sub.2m+1NH.sub.3).sub.2PbBr4, when n=4, a nanocrystal particle having a bandgap of about 3.5 eV may be provided. Also, when n=5, a nanocrystal particle having a bandgap of about 3.33 eV may be provided. Also, when n=7, a nanocrystal particle having a bandgap of about 3.34 eV may be provided. Also, when n=12, a nanocrystal particle having a bandgap of about 3.52 eV may be provided.

[0111] Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to the present invention may provide a nanocrystal particle having various bandgaps according to center metal substitution.

[0112] For example, the nanocrystal particles that have the CH.sub.3NH.sub.3PbI.sub.3 organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may have bandgap energy of about 1.5 eV. Also, the nanocrystal particles that have the CH.sub.3NH.sub.3Sn.sub.0.3Pb.sub.0.7I organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may have bandgap energy of about 1.31 eV.

[0113] FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0114] Referring to FIG. 3(a), a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a step of preparing a first solution in which organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in a polar solvent (e.g. dimethylformamidinium) and a second solution in which a surfactant is dissolved in an non-polar (e.g. toluene) solvent and a step of mixing the first solution with the second solution to form nanocrystal particle.

[0115] That is, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to the present invention may be manufactured through an inverse nano-emulsion method, reprecipitation method or hot-injection method.

[0116] Hereinafter, more specifically,

[0117] first, the first solution in which the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in the polar solvent and the second solution in which the surfactant is dissolved in an non-polar solvent are prepared.

[0118] Here, the polar solvent may include dimethylformamide, gamma butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, or dimethylsulfoxide, but is not limited thereto.

[0119] Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may be a material having a 3D crystal structure or a 2D crystal structure.

[0120] For example, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 3D crystal structure may be an ABX.sub.3 structure. Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 2D crystal structure may be a structure of ABX.sub.3, A.sub.2BX.sub.4, ABX.sub.4, or A.sub.n−1Pb.sub.nX.sub.3n+1 (where, n is an integer between 2 to 6).

[0121] Here, the A is an organic ammonium material, the B is a metal material, and the X is a halogen element.

[0122] For example, the organic ammonium may be amidinium group organic ions (e.g., formamidinium (NH.sub.2CH═NH.sup.+) ions, acetamidinium (NH.sub.2C(CH)═NH.sub.2.sup.+) ions, guamidinium (NHC(NH)═NH.sup.+) ions, organic ammonium anion ((CH.sub.3NH.sub.3), ((C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, (RNH.sub.3).sub.2, (C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2, (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3), (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1)nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2, (CH(NH.sub.2).sub.2), C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1(C(NH.sub.2).sub.2), (C.sub.nF.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2), Cs, Rb, K, or a combination thereof (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and x is an integer equal to or greater than 1).

[0123] Also, the B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof. Here, the rare earth metal may be, for example, Ge, Sn, Pb, Eu, or Yb. Also, the alkali earth metal may be, for example, Ca, or Sr. Also, the X may be Cl, Br, I, or a combination thereof.

[0124] The perovskite may be prepared by combining the AX with BX.sub.2 at a predetermined ratio. That is, the first solution may be formed by dissolving the AX and BX.sub.2 in the polar solvent at a predetermined ratio. For example, the AX and BX.sub.2 may be dissolved in the polar solvent at a ratio of 2:1 to prepare the first solution in which the A.sub.2BX.sub.4 organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved.

[0125] Also, the polar solvent may include dimethylformamide, gamma butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide or isopropyl alcohol, but is not limited thereto.

[0126] Also, the surfactant may be an alkyl halide surfactant and have a structure of alkyl-X. Here, the halogen element corresponding to the X may include Cl, Br, or I. Also, the alkyl structure may include acyclic alkyl having a structure of C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1, primary alcohol having a structure such as C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1OH, secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, alkylamine having a structure of alkyl-N (e.g., hexadecyl amine, 9-Octadecenylamine 1-Amino-9-octadecene (C.sub.19H.sub.37N)), p-substituted aniline, phenyl ammonium, or fluorine ammonium) but is not limited thereto.

[0127] The surfactant may include an amines and carboxylic acid such as a 4,4′-Azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), an acetic acid, a 5-aminosalicylic acid, an acrylic acid, an L-aspentic acid, a 6-bromohexanoic acid, a bromoacetic acid, a dichloro acetic acid, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, an isobutyric acid, an itaconic acid, a maleic acid, an r-maleimidobutyric acid, an L-malic acid, a 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, a 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, or an oleic acid, but is not limited thereto.

[0128] Next, the first solution may be mixed with the second solution to form the nanocrystal particle.

[0129] In the step of mixing the first solution with the second solution to form the nanocrystal particle, it is preferable to mix the first solution by dropping into the second solution drop-wisely. Also, the second solution may be stirred. For example, the first solution in which the organic-inorganic perovskite (OIP) is dissolved may be slowly added drop-wisely into the second solution in which the alkyl halide surfactant that is being strongly stirred is dissolved to synthesize the nanocrystal particle.

[0130] In this case, when the first solution drops to be mixed with the second solution, the organic-inorganic perovskite (OIP) is precipitated from the second solution due to a difference in solubility. Also, a surface of the organic-inorganic perovskite (OIP) precipitated from the second solution is surrounded by the alkyl halide surfactant and thus stabilized to generate an organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystal (OIP-NC) that is well dispersed. Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particles that have the organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystal and the plurality of alkyl halide organic ligands or inorganic binary compounds surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal may be manufactured.

[0131] The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle may have a size that is controllable by adjusting a length, a shape factor, and an amount of alkyl halide surfactant. For example, the adjustment of the shape factor may be controlled through the surfactant having a linear, tapered, or inverted triangular shape.

[0132] It is preferable that the generated organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystal has a size of 10 nm to 30 nm in a range equal to or greater than the Bohr diameter beyond the quantum confinement effect. If the organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystal has a size exceeding 30 nm, it is a fundamental problem in which the large non-radiative decay of the exciton can occur by thermal ionization at room temperature and the delocalization of the charge carrier, and a large number of excitons are separated as the free charge carriers and then annihilated.

[0133] Also, in case of the nanocrystal particle having a size less than the Bohr diameter, i.e., 10 nm, the bandgap may be changed by the particle size. In the nanocrystal particle having a size less than 10 nm, it is difficult to adjust the size because the size is reduced, the color purity and the spectrum are not affected by the size, and the efficiency is reduced due to defects of the nanocrystal surface.

[0134] The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a core-shell structure.

[0135] Hereinafter, an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a core-shell structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0136] FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a core-shell structure and an energy band diagram of the particle according to the present invention.

[0137] Referring to FIG. 4(a), it is seen that an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle 100′ having a core-shell structure is a structure of a core 115 and a shell 130 surrounding the core 115. Here, a material having a bandgap greater than that of the core 115 may be used as a material of the shell 130.

[0138] Referring to FIG. 4(b), since the core 115 has an energy bandgap greater than that of the shell 130, the exciton may be well confined to the core perovskite.

[0139] FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the core-shell structure according to the present invention.

[0140] The method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the core-shell structure may include a step of preparing a first solution in which a first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in a polar solvent and a second solution in which an alkyl halide surfactant is dissolved in an non-polar solvent, a step of mixing the first solution with the second solution to form a core that has a first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure, and a step of forming a shell surrounding the core and that has a material having a bandgap greater than that of the core.

[0141] Referring to FIG. 5(a), the first solution in which the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in the polar solvent is added drop-wisely into the second solution in which the alkyl halide surfactant is dissolved in the non-polar solvent.

[0142] Referring to FIG. 5(b), when the first solution is added to the second solution, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is precipitated from the second solution due to a difference in solubility. A surface of the precipitated organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is surrounded by the alkyl halide surfactant and thus stabilized to generate an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particles 100 that have the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal core 115 that is well dispersed. Here, the nanocrystal core 115 is surrounded by the alkyl organic ligands 120.

[0143] Since descriptions with reference to FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b) are the same as those with reference to FIG. 3, their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0144] Referring to FIG. 5(c), the shell 130 surrounding the core 115 and that has the material having the bandgap greater than that of the core 115 may be formed to prepare the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle 100′ having the core-shell structure.

[0145] The following five methods may be used to form the shell.

[0146] In a first method, the shell may be formed by using a second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite solution or an inorganic semiconductor material solution. That is, a third solution in which the second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite solution having a bandgap greater than that of the first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or the organic material or the inorganic semiconductor material solution is dissolved may be added to the second solution to form the shell including a second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal, an inorganic semiconductor material, or an organic polymer.

[0147] For example, while strongly stirring the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (MAPbBr.sub.3) solution generated through the above-described method (the inverse nano-emulsion method, reprecipitation method or hot-injection method), an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (MAPbCl.sub.3) solution having a bandgap greater than that of MAPbBr.sub.3, an inorganic semiconductor material solution such as ZnS or metal oxide, or an organic polymer such as polyethylene glycol, polyethylene oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethyleneimine, and PVA may slowly drop down drop-wisely to form the shell that has the second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal (MAPbCl.sub.3) or the inorganic semiconductor material. Here, the MA represents methylammonium.

[0148] Here, since the core perovskite and the shell perovskite are mixed with each other to form an alloy form or adhere to each other, the organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystal having the core-shell structure may be synthesized.

[0149] Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the MAPbBr.sub.3/MAPbCl.sub.3 core-shell structure may be formed.

[0150] In a second method, the shell may be formed by using an organic ammonium halide solution. That is, a large amount of organic ammonium halide solution may be added to the second solution and then stirred to form the shell surrounding the core and having a bandgap greater than that of the core.

[0151] For example, a MACl solution may be added to the organic-inorganic perovskite (MAPbBr.sub.3) solution generated through the above-described method (the inverse nano-emulsion method, reprecipitation method or hot-injection method) and then strongly stirred to convert MAPbBr.sub.3 formed on the surface into MAPbBr.sub.3−xCl.sub.x by the excess MACl, thereby forming the shell.

[0152] Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the MAPbBr.sub.3/MAPbBr.sub.3−xCl.sub.x core-shell structure may be formed.

[0153] In a third method, the shell may be formed by using a pyrolysis/synthesis method. That is, the second solution may be thermally treated to pyrolyze a surface of the surface, and an organic ammonium halide solution may be added to thermally treated second solution to synthesize the surface again, thereby forming the shell surrounding the core and having a bandgap greater than that of the core.

[0154] For example, the organic-inorganic perovskite (MAPbBr.sub.3) solution generated through the above-described method (the inverse nano-emulsion method, reprecipitation method or hot-injection method) may be thermally treated to pyrolyze the solution so that a surface is changed into PbBr.sub.2, and then, the MACl solution may be added to synthesize the solution so that the surface is changed into MAPbBr.sub.2Cl, thereby forming the shell.

[0155] Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the MAPbBr.sub.3/MAPbBr.sub.2Cl core-shell structure may be formed.

[0156] Thus, since the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a core-shell structure formed according to the present invention is formed by using the material having the bandgap greater than that of the core, the exciton may be well confined to the core, and the core perovskite may not be exposed to air by using the perovskite or the organic semiconductor, which is stable in air, to improve durability of the nanocrystal.

[0157] In a fourth method, the shell may be formed by using an organic semiconductor material solution. That is, the organic semiconductor material having the bandgap greater than that of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may be previously dissolved in the second solution, and the first solution, in which the above-described first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved, may be added to the second solution to form the core that has the first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal and the shell that have the organic semiconductor material surrounding the core.

[0158] Here, since the organic semiconductor material adheres to the core perovskite surface, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the core-shell structure may be synthesized.

[0159] Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter having the MAPbBr.sub.3 core-shell structure may be formed.

[0160] In a fifth method, the shell may be formed by using a selective extraction method. That is, a small amount of IPA solution may be added to the second solution in which the core that has the first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal is formed to selectively extract MABr from the nanocrystal surface and form the surface by using only PbBr.sub.2 to form the shell having a bandgap greater than that of the core.

[0161] For example, the small amount of IPA may be added to the organic-inorganic perovskite (MAPbBr.sub.3) solution generated through the above-described method (the inverse nano-emulsion method, reprecipitation method, or hot-injection method) to selectively dissolve only the MABr on the nanocrystal surface to extract the MABr so that only the PbBr.sub.2 remains on the surface, thereby forming the PbBr.sub.2 shell.

[0162] That is, the MABr may be removed from the MAPbBr.sub.3 surface through the selective extraction.

[0163] Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light emitting body having the MAPbBr.sub.3-PbBr.sub.2 core-shell structure may be formed.

[0164] FIG. 6 is a schematic view of an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a gradient composition structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0165] Referring to FIG. 6, an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle 100″ having a gradient composition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 140 that is dispersible in an organic solvent and has a gradient composition structure that is gradually changed in composition outward from a center. Here, the organic solvent may be a polar solvent or a non-polar solvent.

[0166] The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may have a structure of ABX.sub.3−mX′.sub.m, A.sub.2BX.sub.4−lX′.sub.1, or ABX.sub.4−kX′.sub.k, the A is an organic ammonium material, the B is a metal material, the X is Br, and the X′ is Cl. Also, the m, l, and k values gradually increase outward from a center of the nanocrystal structure 140.

[0167] Thus, an energy bandgap may gradually increase outward from the center of the nanocrystal structure 140.

[0168] For example, the organic ammonium may be amidinium group organic ions (e.g., formamidinium (NH.sub.2CH═NH.sup.+) ions, acetamidinium (NH.sub.2C(CH)═NH.sub.2.sup.+) ions, guamidinium (NHC(NH)═NH.sup.+) ions, organic ammonium anions ((CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((CxH.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, (RNH.sub.3).sub.2, (CnH.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2, (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3), (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.2(CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sup.2, (C(NH.sub.2).sub.2), C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1(C(NH.sub.2).sub.2), (C.sub.nF.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2), Cs, Rb, K, or combination of thereof (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and x is an integer equal to or greater than 1).

[0169] The B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof.

[0170] Also, the m, l, and k values gradually increase outward from the center of the nanocrystal structure. Thus, the energy bandgap may gradually increase according to a variation in composition.

[0171] For another example, the m, l, and k values gradually increase in a stir shape outward from the center of the nanocrystal structure. Thus, the energy bandgap may gradually increase in the stir shape according to a variation in composition.

[0172] Also, a plurality of organic ligands or inorganic binary compounds 120 surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 140 may be further provided. Each of the organic ligands 120 may include alkyl halide. The alkyl halide may have a structure of alkyl-X. Here, the halogen element corresponding to the X may include Cl, Br, or I. Also, the alkyl structure may include acyclic alkyl having a structure of C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1, primary alcohol having a structure such as C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1OH, secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, alkylamine having a structure of alkyl-N (e.g., hexadecyl amine, 9-Octadecenylamine 1-Amino-9-octadecene (C.sub.19H.sub.37N)), p-substituted aniline, phenyl ammonium, or fluorine ammonium, but is not limited thereto.

[0173] Thus, the nanocrystal structure may be manufactured into a gradient-alloy type to gradually change contents of a large amount of perovskite existing outside the nanocrystal structure and a large amount of perovskite existing inside the nanocrystal structure. Since the content of the perovskite is gradually changed in the nanocrystal structure, a fraction within the nanocrystal structure may be uniformly adjusted, and surface oxidation may be reduced to improve exciton confinement in the large amount of perovskite existing in the nanocrystal structure, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency and durability (or stability).

[0174] A method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the gradient composition structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0175] A method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the gradient composition structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of preparing an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a core-shell structure and a step of thermally treating the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the core-shell structure to form the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a gradient composition through interdiffusion.

[0176] First, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the core-shell structure may be prepared. Since the method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the core-shell structure is the same as that with reference to FIG. 5, its detailed description will be omitted.

[0177] Then, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the core-shell structure may be thermally treated to form the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the gradient composition through the interdiffusion.

[0178] For example, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the core-shell structure may be annealed at a high temperature to form a solid solution state and then be thermally treated to form the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the gradient composition through interdiffusion.

[0179] For instance, thermal treatment may be performed at a temperature of 100° C. to 150° C. The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the core-shell structure may be annealed at the terminal treating temperature to induce the interdiffusion.

[0180] A method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a gradient composition structure according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a step of forming a first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal core and a step of forming a second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal shell having the gradient composition.

[0181] First, the first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal core is formed. Since the method for the first organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal core is the same as that for forming the above-described nanocrystal core, its detailed description will be omitted.

[0182] Then, the second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal shell having the gradient composition, which surrounds the core, is formed.

[0183] The second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may have a structure of ABX.sub.3−mX′.sub.m, A.sub.2BX.sub.4−1X′.sub.1, or ABX.sub.4−kX′.sub.k, the A is an organic ammonium material, the B is a metal material, the X is Br, and the X′ is Cl.

[0184] Thus, when the m, l, or k value increases in the second solution, a third solution, in which second organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved, may be added.

[0185] That is, a solution in which the composition of ABX.sub.3mX′.sub.m, A.sub.2BX.sub.4−1X′.sub.1, or ABX.sub.4−kX′.sub.k is controlled may continuously drop down to form the shell that continuously varies in composition.

[0186] FIG. 7 is a schematic view illustrating the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having the gradient composition structure and an energy band diagram of the particle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0187] Referring to FIG. 7(a), it is seen that a nanocrystal particle 100″ according to the present invention is the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure having the gradient composition that varies in content. Referring to FIG. 7(b), since the composition of the material is gradually changed outward from a center of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 140, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle may be manufactured so that an energy bandgap thereof gradually increases outward from the center.

[0188] The perovskite nanocrystal particle according to the present invention may be a doped perovskite nanocrystal particle.

[0189] The doped perovskite may include a structure of ABX.sub.3, A.sub.2BX.sub.4, ABX.sub.4, or A.sub.n−1BnX.sub.3n+1 (where n is an integer between 2 to 6). Here, a portion of the A is substituted with A′, a portion of the B is substituted with B′, or a portion of the X is substituted with X′. The A and A′ may be organic ammonium, and the B and B′ may be metal materials, and X and X′ may be halogen elements.

[0190] Here, the A and A′, i.e.,

[0191] The organic ammonium may be amidinium group organic ions (C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1(C(NH.sub.2).sub.2)) (e.g., formamidinium (NH.sub.2CH═NH.sup.+) ions, acetamidinium (NH.sub.2C(CH)═NH.sub.2.sup.+) ions, guamidinium (NHC(NH)═NH.sup.+) ions, organic ammonium anion ((CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1).sub.2(CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, (RNH.sub.3).sub.2, (C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2, (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3), (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2, (CH(NH.sub.2).sub.2).sub.2), (C.sub.nF.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2), Cs, Rb, K, or combination thereof (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and x is an integer equal to or greater than 1). Each of B and B′ may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, or Po, and the X and X′ may be Cl, Br, or I.

[0192] Also, a ratio at which a portion of the A is substituted with A′, a portion of the B is substituted with B′, or a portion of the X is substituted with X′ may be 0.1% to 5%.

[0193] FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a doped perovskite nanocrystal particle and an energy band diagram of the particle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0194] FIG. 8(a) is a partially cut-away view of an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure into which a doping element 111 is doped. FIG. 8(b) is a band diagram of the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 110.

[0195] Referring to FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b), a semiconductor type of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may be converted into an n-type or a p-type through the doping. For example, when Cl is partially doped into a MAPbI.sub.3 organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal, the semiconductor type may be converted into the n-type to adjust an electrooptic property. Here, the MA is methylammonium.

[0196] The doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle through an inverse nano-emulsion, reprecipitation method or hot-injection method will be described as an example.

[0197] First, the first solution in which the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in the polar solvent is added drop-wisely into the second solution in which the alkyl halide surfactant is dissolved in the non-polar solvent.

[0198] Here, the polar solvent may include dimethylformamide, gamma butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide or iso-propyl alcohol, but is not limited thereto.

[0199] Here, the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may include a structure of ABX.sub.3, A.sub.2BX.sub.4, ABX.sub.4, or A.sub.n−1BnX.sub.3n+1. Also, a portion of the A is substituted with A′, a portion of the B is substituted with B′, or a portion of the X is substituted with X′.

[0200] Here, the A and A′ may be organic ammonium, the B and B′ may be metal materials, and the X and X′ may be halogen elements. For example, the A may be (CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2, (CH.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, (RNH.sub.3).sub.2, (C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1NH.sub.3).sub.2, (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3), (CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2(CF.sub.3NH.sub.3).sub.n, ((C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1).sub.nNH.sub.3).sub.2, (CH(NH.sub.2).sub.2), C.sub.xH.sub.2x+1(C (NH.sub.2).sub.2), Cs, Rb, K, (C.sub.nF.sub.2n+1).sub.2 or combination thereof. Also, each of the B and B′ may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, or Po. Here, the rare earth metal may be, for example, Ge, Sn, Pb, Eu, or Yb. Also, alkali earth metal may be, for example, Ca or Sr. Also, each of the X and X′ may be Cl, Br, or I.

[0201] Also, the A and A′ may be organic materials different from each other, the B and B′ may be metals different from each other, and the X and X′ may be halogen elements different from each other. Furthermore, it is preferable that an element that is not alloyed with the X is used as the doped X′.

[0202] For example, CH.sub.3NH.sub.3I, PbI.sub.2, and PbCl.sub.2 may be added to a DMF solution to form a first solution. Here, a molar ratio of CH.sub.3NH.sub.3I:PbI.sub.2 and PbCl.sub.2 may be set to 1:1, and a molar ratio of PbI.sub.2:PbCl.sub.2 may be set to 97:3.

[0203] When the A is CH.sub.3NH.sub.3, and the X is Br as an example of the AX synthesis, CH.sub.3NH.sub.2 (methylamine) and HBr (hydroiodic acid) may be dissolved under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain CH.sub.3NH.sub.3Br through evaporation of the solvent.

[0204] Then, when the first solution is added to the second solution, the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is precipitated from the second solution due to a difference in solubility. A surface of the precipitated doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is surrounded by the alkyl halide surfactant and thus stabilized to generate a doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particles 100 that have the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure that is well dispersed. Here, the surface of the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle is surrounded by organic ligands that are alkyl halide.

[0205] Thereafter, a soluton including the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle that is dispersed in a non-polar solvent, in which the alkyl halide surfactant is dissolved, may be heated and thus selectively evaporated, or a co-solvent, in which all the polar and non-polar solvents are capable of being dissolved, may be added to selectively extract the polar solvent including the nanocrystal particle from the non-polar solvent, thereby obtaining the doped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle.

[0206] The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle and the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle according to an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to various optoelectronic devices.

[0207] For example, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle and the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle may be applied to a light emitting device by using a light emitting layer including the above-described organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle and the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle. The light emitting device may be disposed on a first electrode and a second electrode and between the first and second electrodes and include the light emitting layer including the above-described perovskite nanocrystal particle.

[0208] For another example, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle and the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle may be applied to a solar cell by using a photoactive layer including the above-described organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle and the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE

[0281] FIG. 9 is a fluorescent image obtained by photographing emission light by irradiating ultraviolet rays onto a light-emitter according to Preparation Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2.

[0282] Referring to FIG. 9, it is seen that an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite solution, which is not in the form of a nanocrystal particle, but in the form of a bulk, according to Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 emits dark light, but the light-emitter having the nanocrystal particle according to Manufacturing Example 1 emits very bright green light.

[0283] On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the form of the thin film, which is manufactured by spin-coating on the glass substrate, had a PLQY value of about 1%.

[0284] FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a light-emitter according to Manufacturing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

[0285] FIG. 10(a) is a schematic view of a nano thin film according to Comparative Example 1, FIG. 7(b) is a schematic view of a nanocrystal particle thin film according to Manufacturing Example 1. Referring to FIG. 7(a), the nanocrystal particle according to Comparative Example 1 has the form of the thin film manufactured by spin-coating the first solution on the glass substrate. Referring to FIG. 7(b), the nanocrystal particle according to Manufacturing Example 1 has the form of the nanocrystal structure 110.

[0286] FIG. 11 is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the light-emitter at room temperature and a low temperature according to Manufacturing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

[0287] FIG. 11(a) is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the thin film-shaped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP film) according to Comparative Example 1 at a low temperature (70K), and FIG. 10(b) is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the thin film-shaped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP film) according to Comparative Example 1 at room temperature.

[0288] FIG. 11(c) is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle thin film (OIP-NP film) according to Manufacturing Example 1 at a low temperature (70K), and FIG. 11(d) is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle (OIP-NP film) according to Manufacturing Example 1 at room temperature.

[0289] Referring to FIGS. 11(a) and 11(d), in case of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle thin film (OIP-NP film) according to Manufacturing Example 1, it is seen that photoluminescence occurs at the same position as that of the thin film-shaped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP film) according to Comparative Example 1, and color purity is more improved. Also, in case of the OIP-NP film according to Manufacturing Example 1, it is seen that photoluminescence having high color purity occurs at room temperature at the same position as that at the low temperature, and intensity of the luminescence is not reduced. On the other hand, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite according to Comparative Example 1 has different color purity and luminescence position at room temperature and low temperature, and exciton does not efficiently emit light due to thermal ionization and delocalization of charge carriers at room temperature and thus is separated as free charge carriers and annihilated to cause low luminescence intensity.

[0290] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a nanocrystal that is adjustable in size according to an amount of surfactant.

[0291] Referring to FIG. 12, when an amount of oleic acid that is a surfactant is small, it is seen that a rate of crystallization from growth to termination of the perovskite nanocrystal is slow. On the other hand, when an amount of surfactant is large, it is seen that a rate of the crystallization increases to form the perovskite nanocrystal having a smaller size.

[0292] FIG. 13 is data obtained by measuring a dielectric constant of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (CH.sub.3NH.sub.3PbBr.sub.3). The perovskite has a dielectric constant of about 16. Also, a Bohr diameter may be measured through an effective mass of the perovskite and the following Equation 1.

[00001]$\begin{array}{cc}r=a_0.Math.{\mathrm{.Math.}}_r.Math.\frac{m_0}{\mu }& <\mathrm{Equation}.Math..Math.1>\end{array}$

[0293] (where r is a Bohr diameter, a0 is a Bohr diameter (0.053 nm) of hydrogen, ε.sub.r is a dielectric constant, μ=m.sub.eX m.sub.h/m.sub.e.sup.−1+m.sub.h.sup.−1, m.sub.e is an effective electron mass, and m.sub.h is an effective hole mass).

[0294] FIG. 14 is an emission image of a nanocrystal having various sizes, which is synthesized by changing an amount of surfactant. NC(1.5), NC(2), NC(5), NC(10), NC(50), and NC(100), which are illustrated in FIGS. 14 to 24 have a nanocrystal diameter of 100 nm, 50 nm, 35 nm, 20 nm, 7 nm, and 3 nm, respectively. Here, the number in each of parentheses is a μl unit as an amount of surfactant. Thus, the more an amount of surfactant increases, the more a size of the nanocrystal decreases.

[0295] Referring to FIG. 14, it is seen that light having a shorter wavelength is emitted when an amount of surfactant increases to reduce a size of the perovskite nanocrystal particle.

[0296] FIG. 15 is data displaying a variation in size by adjusting an amount of surfactant according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0297] Referring to FIG. 15, when manufactured according to Manufacturing Example 1, it is seen that a rate of crystallization increases by increasing an amount of surfactant used to stabilize the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite in a solution phase, and thus, the perovskite nanocrystal particle gradually decreases in size.

[0298] FIG. 16 is data of photoluminescence in which a size varies by adjusting an amount of surfactant according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0299] Referring to FIG. 16, it is seen that a photoluminescence spectrum has a short wavelength when an amount of surfactant increases, and the nanocrystal particle gradually decreases in size. This is done due to a quantum confinement effect caused by the nanocrystal size being smaller than that of the Bohr diameter when the amount of surfactant increases to a predetermined amount or more.

[0300] FIG. 17 is a view illustrating photoluminescence quantum efficiency depending on a size according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0301] Referring to FIG. 17, it is seen that the photoluminescence quantum efficiency is the highest at the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal having a particle size (NC(10)), which is near to or greater than the Bohr diameter just before the quantum confinement effect occurs. When the nanocrystal has a size greater than the Bohr diameter, since the exciton has small exciton binding energy, the exciton does not emit light at room temperature due to thermal ionization and delocalization of a charge carrier and thus is separated as the free charge carriers and then annihilated. Also, when the nanocrystal has a size less than the Bohr diameter, the luminescence efficiency may be reduced by defects occurring on the nanocrystal particle surface.

[0302] The photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE), the emission wavelength, the emission full width at half maximum (FWHM) according to the size of the perovskite nanocrystal are summarized in Table 1.

[0303] FIG. 18 is data obtained by analyzing an exciton lifetime depending on a size according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0304] Referring to FIG. 18, it is seen that the exciton lifetime decreases as the size of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle decreases. Here, as the size of the nanocrystal particle decreases, the exciton binding energy increases. As a result, the exciton may be annihilated in an exciton state without decomposed into free charge carriers and thus shortened in lifetime.

[0305] FIG. 19 is data obtained by measuring ionization potential energy of a perovskite nanocrystal depending on a size according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0306] Referring to FIG. 19, it is seen that the quantum confinement effect occurs as the size of the nanocrystal particle becomes smaller than the Bohr diameter, and thus, the ionization potential gradually becomes deeper.

[0307] FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating an energy distribution of the perovskite nanocrystal depending on a size according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0308] FIG. 20 is a view of an energy level depending on a size of the nanocrystal. Referring to FIG. 19, it is seen that the ionization potential gradually becomes deeper, and electron affinity energy gradually become shallower to increase a bandgap as the size of the nanocrystal particle decreases.

[0309] FIG. 21 is element analysis data depending on a size according to Manufacturing Example 1.

[0310] Referring to FIGS. 21(a) to 21(c), as the size of the nanocrystal decreases, a surface-to-volume ratio increases. Thus, an oleic acid that is a surfactant existing much at a small size may adhere, and thus, ratios of oxygen and carbon increases. On the other hand, it is seen that Br, Pb, and N, which relatively occupy the inside of the nanocrystal, decreases.

[0311] FIG. 22 is a schematic view illustrating a structure of a light emitting diode in which the nanocrystal is used as a light emitting layer.

[0312] Referring to FIG. 22, a light emitting diode includes an anode, a hole injection layer, a nanocrystal particle light emitting layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode.

[0313] FIG. 23 is data obtained by measuring roughness after the nanocrystal particle is formed in the form of a thin film. Referring to FIGS. 23(a) and 23(b), it is seen that roughness RMS of the thin film decreases to about 5.2 nm to about 3.46 nm when a thickness of a nanocrystal particle OIP-NCs increases to about 15 nm to about 25 nm.

[0314] FIG. 24 is data illustrating device performance of the light emitting diode implemented by using nanocrystal particle having various sizes.

[0315] Referring to FIGS. 24(a) to 24(c), it is seen that a light emitting diode using the nanocrystal (NC(10)) having a size near to or greater than the Bohr diameter has maximum efficiency and maximum brightness. This is done because the photoluminescence quantum efficiency is maximized when the size is near to or greater than the Bohr diameter. Particularly, although the photoluminescence spectrum moves to a short wavelength as the size of the nanocrystal particle as the size of the nanocrystal particle decreases, the photoluminescence spectrum of the device has a predetermined value. This is done because thermalization occurs with the lowest energy bandgap to emit light as electrons and holes move to the light emitting layer.

[0316] FIG. 25 is an image displaying a cross section of the nanocrystal particle light emitting diode.

[0317] Referring to FIG. 25, it is seen that a hole injection layer HIL having a thickness of about 40 nm, a light emitting layer having a thickness of about 15 nm, and an electron injection layer EIL having a thickness of about 50 nm are formed between an anode ITO and a cathode Al.

[0318] FIG. 26 is performance data of a light emitting diode depending on an increase in thickness of a nanocrystal particle.

[0319] Referring to FIG. 26, as a perovskite nanocrystal particle increases in thickness, surface roughness may be reduced, and also an amount of nanocrystal particle that is capable of emitting light increases to improve efficiency and brightness.

[0320] The perovskite nanocrystal structure having the crystal structure, in which the FCC and the BCC are combined with each other, may be formed in the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle, and the organic plane and the inorganic plane may be alternately stacked to form the lamellar structure. Particularly, since the organic ammonium without having the bandgap is used as the organic material, the excitons may be confined to the inorganic plane to implement the high color purity.

[0321] Also, the exciton diffusion length may be reduced, and the exciton binding energy may increase in the nanocrystal particle having a size of 20 nm to 30 nm to prevent the excitons from being annihilated by the thermal ionization and the delocalization of the charge carriers, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency at room temperature.

[0322] Also, the band gap energy of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle or the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle may be determined by the crystalline structure without depending on the particle size.

[0323] Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle or the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle may be nanoparticle that is capable of being dispersible in the organic solvent and thus applied to the various optoelectronic devices.

[0324] Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle or the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle may be doped to increase the luminescence efficiency and the durability-stability as well as convert the semiconductor type into the n-type or the p-type, and thereby to adjust the electro-optical properties.
