Green synthesis of highly stable CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals using natural deep eutectic solvents as solvents and surface ligands

Abstract

Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have attracted widespread attention as promising materials for the optoelectronic field due to their remarkable photophysical properties and structural tunability. However, their poor stability and the use of toxic organic solvents in the preparation process have severely restricted their practical applications. Herein, a facile, rapid and toxic organic solvent-free synthesis strategy of CsPbBr3 PNCs was developed for the first time via the ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) method using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) as solvents and surface ligands. In this method, the NADESs not only functioned as solvents for green synthesis, but also served simultaneously as surface ligands of CsPbBr3 PNCs to significantly improve their optical properties and stability. The as-synthesized CsPbBr3 PNCs exhibited high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, ∼96.8%), narrow full width at half-maximum (FWHM, ∼18.8 nm) and a high stability that retained 82.9% of PL intensity after 70 days. This work provides a new strategy for the green synthesis of PNCs, which promises feasibility for the industrial large-scale synthesis of high-quality PNCs.
