Surface Decorating of CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ Nanoparticles with the Chemically Adsorbed Perylenetetracarboxylic Diimide

Abstract

An organic dye-modified organolead halide CH3NH3PbBr3 nanoparticle (cubic) is prepared successfully by using a perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) bearing an -NH3(+) headgroup as the capping ligand. The nanopartilces are homogeneous with high crystallinity. The photoluminescence of perovskite is quenched completely by the chemically adsorbed PDI molecules. This efficient fluorescence quenching has confirmed that the PDI molecules are anchored on the surface of CH3NH3PbBr3 nanoparticle. The resulting nanoparticles can be dispersed in organic solvents, and the resulting dispersion remains stable for days. This result provides a general guideline for surface engineering of organolead halide CH3NH3PbBr3 nanoparticles.

“…The measured apparent fluorescence lifetimes become longer, but the total fluorescence quantum yields drop dramatically. Similar phenomenon had been observed in other nanocomposites with surface fluorescence quencher attachment …”

Perovskite nanocrystals: synthesis, properties and applications

“…Functional dye molecules could also absorb on surface of NCs and act as capping ligands [64]. Li and co-workers [64] successfully synthesized organic dye (perylene diimide, PDI)-modified CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 perovskite NPs for the first time. The resulting NPs could be dispersed in organic solvents and keep stable for several days.…”

Efficient charge transfer from organometal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals to free base meso-tetraphenylporphyrins

“…Hence, the absence of the anchoring group and the lower emission intensity of porphyrin molecules as compared to other exciting uorescent dyes excludes the possibility of FRET between the excited state of the PNCs and TPP. 38,49 In conclusion, the charge transfer behaviour of MAPbX 3 perovskite nanocrystals as electron donors and the TPP macrocycle as the acceptor was demonstrated. The addition of TPP to the PNC solution causes uorescence quenching with no change in uorescence lifetime.…”
