Inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have shown good potential as an emerging semiconducting building block owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, despite extensive studies on their structure-dependent optical properties, they still suffer severely from chemical and phase instabilities in ambient conditions. Here, we report a facile method for the synthesis of mixed halide inorganic perovskite NCs based on recrystallization in an antisolvent mixture in an ambient atmosphere, at room temperature. We introduced an alcohol-derivative solvent, as a secondary antisolvent in the solvent mixture, which crystallizes at room temperature. This mediates and facilitates the perovskite crystallization, leading to a high chemical yield and stability. We demonstrate that this secondary antisolvent establishes intermolecular interactions with lead halide salt, which successfully stabilizes the γ-dark phase of perovskite by encapsulating NCs in a solution and thin film. This allows us to produce concentrated NC solutions with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 70%. Finally, we fabricate CsPbI2Br NCs (optical bandgap 1.88 eV) solar cells, which showed a stabilized photovoltaic performance in ambient conditions, without encapsulation, showing a Voc of 1.32 V.

Abstract
Inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have shown good potential as an emerging semiconducting building block owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, despite extensive studies on their structure-dependent optical properties, they still suffer severely from chemical and phase instabilities in ambient conditions. Here, we report a facile method for the synthesis of mixed halide inorganic perovskite NCs based on recrystallization in an antisolvent mixture in an ambient atmosphere, at room temperature. We introduced an alcohol-derivative solvent, as a secondary antisolvent in the solvent mixture, which crystallizes at room temperature. This mediates and facilitates the perovskite crystallization, leading to a high chemical yield and stability. We demonstrate that this secondary antisolvent establishes intermolecular interactions with lead halide salt, which successfully stabilizes the γ-dark phase of perovskite by encapsulating NCs in a solution and thin film. This allows us to produce concentrated NC solutions with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 70%. Finally, we fabricate CsPbI2Br NCs (optical bandgap 1.88 eV) solar cells, which showed a stabilized photovoltaic performance in ambient conditions, without encapsulation, showing a Voc of 1.32 V.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
