Developing metal–halide
perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) has
attracted great interest due to its potential application in optoelectronic
devices. Herein, for the first time we report the facile synthesis
of Fe3+-doped cesium lead chloride (CsPbCl3)
perovskite NCs along with their exciton relaxation dynamics. Efficient
energy transfer occurs from host (CsPbCl3) exciton to Fe3+ dopant, leading to pink-colored dual emission consisting
of blue from CsPbCl3 exitonic peak (410 nm) and red from
Fe-dopant state (584 nm). Interestingly, Fe-doping is found not only
to enhance the photoluminescence quantum yield from 1.85 to 4.32%
but also to improve the homogeneity of size and cubic shape of NCs
as observed by electron microscopy. Ultrafast transient absorption
studies and global fitting analysis reveal the impact of Fe-doping
on the exciton relaxation dynamics, where the efficient energy transfer
from host exciton to Fe3+ with the lifetime of 135 ps is
identified. Another highlighted feature of Fe-doped NCs is its high
stability over 30 days and mostly intact intensity up to ∼50
°C. The results provide unique insights into the dual emission
properties of Fe-doped CsPbCl3 perovskite NCs, which is
an important aspect for high-performance perovskite devices.
Herein, we have reported two benzothiazole-linked covalent organic framework nanostructures (BTZ-BCA-COF and BTZ-TPA-COF), which have been prepared via a highly efficient one-pot, multicomponent transition-metal-free C−H functionalization and oxidative annulation synthetic strategy and employing elemental sulfur as one of the key components. These prepared COFs are highly crystalline in nature, have high surface area, and are chemically stable. These COFs exhibit light-harvesting capacity as a photosensitizer for visible-light-assisted "carbon−boron" bond cleavage with a high functional group tolerance of the substrates. In order to acquire in-depth understanding about the mechanistic pathway involved and for comparison in photocatalytic performance, we have performed in situ electron paramagnetic resonance and studies. Our contribution sheds light on exploration of elemental sulfur to extended π-conjugation network-based photocatalysts, followed by instigating their structural uniqueness− photocatalytic activity relationship.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
