High Efficiency and Narrow Emission Band Pure-Red Perovskite Colloidal Quantum Wells

Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) have excellent optical performance, such as ultranarrow emission, due to strong quantum confinement in the vertical direction. However, there are few reports on metal halide perovskite CQWs with high-purity red emission (similar to 630 nm) for the display application, owing to the broadened photoluminescence spectrum and beyond the red emission range. Herein, we successfully synthesize high-quality CsPbI3 CQWs in a strong electronegative solvent (mesitylene), which cut the chemical reaction rate of the precursor system to slow down the crystal nuclei growth. The number of PbI64- octahedral layers (n) of CQWs can be regulated to achieve the emission of the CQW shift from orange (596 nm, n = 3) to red (626 nm, n = 4). The pure-red-emitting CQWs have a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 99% and a narrow emission bandwidth (28 nm). The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates (0.69, 0.31) meet the requirement of the Rec. 2020 standard.
