In
this study, a new type of 0-dimensional organic–inorganic
hybrid perovskite single crystal (2-5-py)2MnBr4 was synthesized using 2-amino-5-methylpyridine (2-5-py) as the organic
ligand. The crystal is a center-symmetric P-1 space
group with a grain size of 20 mm, which belongs to the triclinic crystal
system. It has a strong absorption of violet and blue light as well
as excellent thermal stability. Its optical band gap is 2.38 eV, which
is in good agreement with the theoretical band gap (2.39 eV) calculated
by density functional theory. Under the excitation of a suitable light
source, it can emit 526 nm pure bright green lights, which are confirmed
by the main peaks to be almost in the green range with a full width
at half maximum of 45 nm. As a result, the quantum efficiency and
fluorescence lifetime reached a high level of 44.2% and 117 μs,
respectively. Based on the good fluorescence performance of the crystal,
a white LED with a color rendering index of 97 was finally successfully
fabricated, realizing the leap from basic materials to optoelectronic
devices.
