The
toxicity of Pb and the instability of lead halide perovskites
are the main obstacles to the practical application of lead-based
nanocrystals (NCs). In this paper, all-inorganic Zn2+-doped
lead-free perovskite (CsMn1–x
Zn
x
Cl3) NCs were synthesized by a
hot-injection method. Mn2+ ions were partially replaced
by Zn2+ ions, and the energy transfer between Mn2+ was effectively suppressed. Because of this, excitons are more advantageously
confined to the [MnCl6]4– octahedron.
Target CsMn0.95Zn0.05Cl3 NCs were
endowed with red emission at 654 nm with CIE coordinates of (0.70,
0.30) closing to the standard value of NTSC, and their photoluminescence
quantum yield was increased to 77.1%, which is higher than those of
Mn-based lead-free perovskites previously reported. Finally, a white
light-emitting diode (LED) with adjustable emission from warm to cold
white was realized by mixing Cs3MnBr5, CsMn0.95Zn0.05Cl3, and a blue phosphor on
a 382 nm ultraviolet LED chip.
