Abstract
Metal halide perovskite (MHP) nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit outstanding optoelectronic properties, making them promising candidates for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, their practical application is severely hindered by poor environmental stability. Specifically, violet-emitting CsPbCl3 NCs suffer from low luminescence properties because of deep-level trap-mediated non-radiative recombination. Here, we report a core-shell structure in which a CsPbCl3 NC is epitaxially coated with a Cs2NaInCl6 double perovskite shell via a hot-injection method. The resulting CsPbCl3@Cs2NaInCl6 heterostructures feature type-I band alignment, enabling effective surface defect passivation and strong charge carrier confinement within the CsPbCl3 core. As a result, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of CsPbCl3 NCs increases dramatically from 4.4% to 49.5%, accompanied by a prolonged photoluminescence lifetime and a narrower emission spectral full width at half maximum (FWHM). Beyond luminescence enhancement, the Cs2NaInCl6 shell imparts remarkable resistance against damage from water, UV irradiation, and heat. Furthermore, the same encapsulation strategy significantly improves the stability of Mn and Ni-doped CsPbCl3 (CsPbCl3:Mn and CsPbCl3:Ni) NCs. This work provides an effective strategy to simultaneously enhance luminescence performance and environmental stability of CsPbCl3 NCs through passivation with a double perovskite shell.
