All-inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals with their
fascinating
optical properties have drawn increasing attention as promising nanoemitters.
However, due to the intrinsic poor colloidal stability against the
external environment, the practical applications are greatly limited.
Herein, a facile and effective strategy for the in situ encapsulation
of CsPbBr3 NCs into highly dense multichannel polyacrylonitrile
(PAN) nanofibers via a uniaxial electrospinning strategy is presented.
Such a facile uniaxial electrospinning strategy enables the in situ
formation of CsPbBr3 NCs in PAN nanofibers without the
introduction of stabilizers. Significantly, the obtained CsPbBr3 nanofibers not only display intense fluorescence with a high
quantum yield (≈48%) but also present high stability when exposed
to water and air owing to the peripheral protecting matrix of PAN.
After immersing CsPbBr3@PAN nanofiber films in water for
100 days, the quantum yield of CsPbBr3@PAN nanofibers maintained
87.5% of the original value, which was much higher than that using
CsPbBr3 NCs. Furthermore, based on the spectral overlap
between the electrochromic material of ruthenium purple and fluorescence
of CsPbBr3@PAN nanofiber films with excellent water stability,
a reversible fluorescence switch is constructed with good fatigue
resistance, suggesting their promising applications.
