Synthesis and dimensional control of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals using phosphorous based ligands
Date
2020
Abstract
Nanocrystals of the inorganic perovskite, CsPbBr3, display outstanding photo-physical properties, making them ideal for next generation optical devices. However, the typical combination of oleic acid and oleylamine ligands employed in their synthesis is easily displaced, leading to poor stability that can hinder their applicability. In this work, we look toward the replacement of the oleic acid and amine with phosphorous based ligands. We synthesize CsPbBr3 nanocrystals using an oleylamine/alkylphosphonic acid combination with near perfect monodispersity with the ability to tune the bandgap by varying the alkyl chain length. We further investigate the replacement of the oleylamine giving a ligand combination of alkylphosphonic acid/trioctylphosphine oxide for perovskite nanocrystal nucleation and growth. This combination is typical for the widely studied metal chalcogenide synthesis and in our study with CsPbBr3 yields a pure phase perovskite.
