Multicolor emission from lanthanide ions doped lead-free Cs_(3)Sb_(2)Cl_(9) perovskite nanocrystals

The toxicity of lead ions has become the severe challenge for the all-inorganic lead halide p erovskite materials,although some works have rep orted the lead-free perovskite nanocrystals(NCs),the photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)of these materials is still unsatisfactory.Meanwhile,because the halogen ions can be easily exchanged,the controllable multicolor emission in perovskite NCs is difficult to realize in current reports.In this work,we introduced lanthanide ions into lead-free Cs_(3)Sb_(2)Cl_(9) perovskite NCs.Benefitting from the energy transfer between Cs_(3)Sb_(2)Cl_(9) perovskite NC host and lanthanide ions,the multicolor emission was realized.Based on controlling the doping concentration of Tb6(3+)and Eu~(3+)ions,the white light emission under UV excitation would be turned easily in the Tb6(3+)/Eu~(3+)codoped NCs.In addition,efficient energy transfer from perovskite NCs to Tb6(3+)or Eu~(3+)ions is beneficial to improving the optical properties of lead-free perovskite NCs,resulting in maximum PLQYs of red,green and white light emission of 22.6%,19.7%and 28.5%,respectively.Finally,a white light emitting device(WLED)was fabricated with a power efficiency of 18.5 lm/W,which presents the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE)of(0.33,0.35).
