Abstract

Perovskite CsPbBr₃ quantum dots (PQDs) encapsulated within borosilicate glass can markedly improve their stability, expanding their applicability in sectors under lighting and display of light emitting diode (LED). However, this encapsulation has unintended consequence of reducing both the photoluminescence (PL) intensity and PL quantum yields (PLQY). This research aims to enhance the PL intensity of CsPbBr₃ perovskite quantum dots glass (PQDs@glass) by exploring the effects of thermal induction temperature and Pb²⁺ content on its structural properties. The results demonstrate that the optimal thermal induction temperature for maximizing PL intensity is 460 ℃, with a Pb²⁺ concentration of 6 mol. The study revealed that the increase in Pb²⁺ concentration led to the densification of the glass network structure and altered the diffusion behavior of glass components. This alteration affected the crystallization process of PQDs, which ultimately resulted in variations in the luminous intensity of PQDs@glass. This study achieved a highly desirable PLQY of 95.6% for PQDs@glass and successfully carried out size-controllable preparation of PQDs within a borosilicate glass matrix. Remarkably, the obtained results show that over 86% of the obtained PQDs particles fall within a narrow size range of 6-14 nm with average diameter of 10 nm, leading to a well-defined size distribution. Notably, these PQDs exhibit exceptional stability, as evidenced by their ability to retain an extraordinary 98.9% of the initial emission intensity following ten consecutive thermal cycles spanning from room temperature to 200 ℃. Finally, to verify its applicability in LED lighting and display, the obtained PQDs@glass powder was blended with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), yielding exemplary LED devices which exhibit an exceptional color gamut range surpassing 110% of the standard RGB (sRGB) color space. In conclusion, this study lays the groundwork for the scalable synthesis of PQDs@glass and paves the way for its utilization in the realm of LED device technology.

Light emitting diode (LED) applications in the fields of lighting and display have witnessed rapid growth alongside the progression of time and the heightening demands on its performance^[1⇓-3]. CsPbBr₃ quantum dots (QDs) were considered an ideal material for LED device fabrication due to their high photoluminescence (PL) intensity, photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) and color purity^[4⇓-6]. However, the stability of colloidal CsPbBr₃ QDs was relatively low, limiting their application in the fields of LED lighting and display. To address this issues, various strategies including ion doping^[7⇓⇓-10], surface passivation^[11-12], and encapsulation^{[13⇓⇓-16]} were extensively explored by researchers to optimize and enhance the stability of CsPbBr₃ QDs. Although these current approaches partially improved the stability of CsPbBr₃ QDs, they could only mitigate external factors' corrosion on QDs, resulting in limited protection efficacy in practical applications.

Subsequently, the strategy of encapsulating CsPbBr₃ QDs in glass to form glass-ceramic was discovered by researchers, which effectively isolated CsPbBr₃ QDs from the external environment and significantly enhanced their stability^{[17⇓⇓⇓-21]}, which provided an ideal solution for improving the stability of CsPbBr₃ QDs. However, the use of CsPbBr₃ QDs coated with glass encapsulation, displays various challenges. Firstly, although glass is a transparent material, it inevitable scatters and refracts, attenuating the emitted light intensity and color purity of CsPbBr₃ QDs. Secondly, due to its amorphous nature, the internal structure of glass is complex, necessitating precise manipulation to provide an optimal environment for the formation of CsPbBr₃ QDs within the CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass system. Furthermore, the composition of CsPbBr₃ QDs also exerts an influence on the glass structure. An abundance of Cs promotes the formation of CsPbBr₃ QDs within the glass matrix. However, an excessive amount of Cs⁺ disrupts the three-dimensional network structure of glass^[22-23]. Another approach involves substituting PbBr with PbO^[24], which significantly reduces volatility during solvation, enhances the luminescent intensity of CsPbBr₃ QDs, and lowers production costs. Nonetheless, the higher toxicity of PbO than that of PbBr poses a challenge, and the redox implications during the melting process may cause color instability in the glass, thus detrimentally affecting the luminescent properties of CsPbBr₃ QDs and hindering large-scale production of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass. Introducing Pb²⁺ as an extrinsic component into the glass matrix can partially alleviate its viscosity and optimize the glass structure. However, the large radius and high charge of Pb²⁺ exert a strong gravitational force on surrounding tetrahedral structures such as [SiO₄] and [BO₄]^[25], rendering the glass structure more densely packed, consequently impacting the luminescent intensity of CsPbBr₃ QDs. Although there is still a need for further investigation into the influence of Pb²⁺ on the structure of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass, substantial findings regarding the overall impact of Pb²⁺ on glass have been accumulated^{[26⇓⇓-29]}. Therefore, deeper understanding into the effect of Pb²⁺ on the structure of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass deserves further research.

Herein, CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass were fabricated employing a melt-anneal approach. Delving into the thermal induction temperature, an in-depth exploration was conducted to investigate the influence of Pb²⁺ on the structural characteristics of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass, while refining and optimizing the PL intensity of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass. On this basis, the potential applications of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass in the domains of LED lighting and display were systematically explored.

1 Experimental

Zinc oxide (ZnO, 99%), calcium fluoride (CaF₂), cesium carbonate (Cs₂CO₃, 99%), lead bromide (PbBr₂), sodium bromide (NaBr), lead oxide (PbO) were purchased from Aladdin Biochemical Technology Corp. All chemicals were used without any further purification.

1.2 Fabrication of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass

The glass composition consists of 85SiO₂-170H₃BO₃- 55ZnO-5CaF₂-16Cs₂CO₃-5PbBr₂-15NaBr-0.5PbO. 40 g of the above raw materials were weighed and poured into a mixing tank for 2 h mixing at 25 Hz. The mixed raw materials were poured into the preheated platinum crucible, and then the lid was closed. Subsequently, all raw materials were melted in a high-temperature electric furnace at 1250 ℃ for 30 min. Afterward, the melted glass was poured into a preheated steel mold at 370 ℃ and then the molten glass was formed. Whereafter, the formed glass was returned to the muffle furnace at 370 ℃ for removal of stress. At this point, the precursor glass was obtained. Precursor glass was heat-treated by crystallization furnace in the range from 440 to 510 ℃ for 2 h. Finally, CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass was obtained. The preparation steps were illustrated in Fig. 1.

1.3 Structural characterization

X-ray diffraction system (XRD, D/max 2550 V, RIGAKU, Japan) with Cu Kα radiation (λ=0.1542 nm) was used to detect the phase structure of CsPbBr₃ crystals. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEM-2100F, JEOL, Japan) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) was used to observe the microscopic morphology and size of a sample. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR, EQUINOX55, Bruker, Germany) was used to test the structure of glass. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, Escalab250Xi, Thermo Fisher, USA) was used to test the components and change in non-bridging oxygen bonds. The samples used for testing were all in powder state.

1.4 Optical characterization

The PL spectra, and PLQY were recorded by a steady- state transient fluorescence spectrometer (PL, Fluorolog-3, HORIBA, Japan). The steady-state measurement system adopted a 450 W continuous Xenon lamp and CCD detector, and the transient measurement system adopted a new high-frequency pulse light source and a 980 nm pulse width continuous adjustable laser. When carrying out the spectrum test with an excitation wavelength of 365 nm, the integration time was selected as 5 s. Meanwhile, excitation light slit width was 3 nm, emission light slit width was 2 nm, and the test wavelength was in the range from 450 to 600 nm. All samples were powder state.

1.5 Fabrication and testing of LED device

The LED device was prepared by 2 g of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a molar ratio of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass powder, and n(powder) : n(PDMS) = 1 : 32. In order to mix evenly, the powder was magnetically stirred with PDMS for 2 h. Subsequently, the powder- glue mixture was dropped onto a 365 nm UV chip, and finally a green LED was obtained. The optical performance test of LED devices used a comprehensive optical performance characterization system (Varian, UK). During the test, a power supply with a power from 3 to 5 W was used.

2 Results and discussion

To investigate the influence of heat treatment on QDs microcrystalline glass and establish an optimal thermal processing protocol for subsequent research, this study initially obtained a pristine and transparent borosilicate glass precursor under the melting conditions of 1250 ℃ for 30 min. Subsequently, with thermal induction time of 2 h, heat-treatment was conducted on the glass precursor, and the results for thermal induction temperatures ranging from 440 to 510 ℃ are shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2(a) exhibits the XRD patterns of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass thermal inducted in temperatures ranging from 440 to 510 ℃ for 2 h. The data in the graph are compared with PDF#54-0752, indicating successful synthesis of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass at different temperatures. Moreover, as the temperature is elevated, the crystalline peaks become more pronounced.

Subsequently, fluorescence spectroscopy was used to characterize the samples at different temperatures, and the results are shown in Fig. 2(b-d). Fig. 2(b) depicts the PL spectra, revealing a noticeable redshift in the emission center as the temperature increasing. To investigate the underlying cause, TEM characterization was conducted, and the size distributions of CsPbBr₃ QDs at different temperatures were analyzed (Fig. 3(g-k)). The results demonstrate a gradual increase in the size of CsPbBr₃ QDs with the rise of temperature. At 450 ℃, the QDs predominantly have a size distribution around 5 nm. In the temperature range from 460 to 490 ℃, over 86% of the particles fall within the size range of 6-14 nm. When the temperature reaches 510 ℃, the size distribution centers around 40 nm. This observed redshift in the emission center can be explained by the quantum size effect, where the bandgap of QDs decreases as their size increases (Fig. 3(f)).

Furthermore, the TEM images clearly indicate that the quantity of QDs increases within the temperature range from 450 to 490 ℃. Initially, during the nucleation stage, the increased number of QDs leads to enhance PL intensity and PLQY. However, as the number of QDs continues to increase, self-absorption becomes more pronounced, resulting in a decrease in PL intensity and PLQY (Fig. 2(c)). Additionally, the fluorescence spectra demonstrate that the highest PL intensity is achieved at 460 ℃, while the PLQY reaches a peak value of 95.6% at 450 ℃.

What follows are a further exploration of the microstructure of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass, as shown in Fig. 3(a-e). Additional evidence of the successful synthesis of CsPbBr₃ QDs within the borosilicate glass matrix is provided by Fig. 2(a-c). Particularly, the high-resolution TEM image (Fig. 3(c)) reveals an interlayer spacing of 0.26 nm, corresponding to the (210) crystal plane of CsPbBr₃ QDs. The mapping images in Fig. 3(d, e) illustrate the accumulation of Cs⁺, Pb²⁺, and Br^- ions within the region where the QDs precipitate. This observation aligns with previous studies suggesting that the abundance of Cs⁺ contributes to the formation of CsPbBr₃ QDs.

With the goal of enhancing luminescence intensity, this study further investigated the influence of Pb²⁺ ions on the structure of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass, building upon the aforementioned research. The regulation of Pb²⁺ ions composition is presented in Table 1.

Table 1 Component regulation of Pb²⁺ ions (all data in molar ratios)

Code	SiO₂	H₃BO₃	ZnO	CaF₂	Cs₂CO₃	PbBr₂	NaBr	PbO
Pb-1	85	170	55	5	16	4	17	0.5
Pb-2	85	170	55	5	16	5	15	0.5
Pb-3	85	170	55	5	16	6	13	0.5
Pb-4	85	170	55	5	16	7	11	0.5

This resulted in a tighter glass structure and increased density. Pb²⁺ ions were able to form more bond connections within the glass network, which contributed to strengthening the three-dimensional network structure of the glass. Due to the higher charge and larger ion radius of Pb²⁺, it exerts a strong attractive force on the surrounding [SiO₄] and [BO₄], stabilizing the entire network structure. The decreased transparency from Pb-1 to Pb-4 further supported this observation. As a direct consequence, the glass precursor of Pb-1 formed a looser structure, facilitating the migration of Cs⁺, Pb²⁺, and Br^- ions during annealing and stress relaxation processes, thus resulting in crystallization. With the increasing concentration of Pb²⁺ ions, the density of the glass gradually increased. However, when it exceeded a certain range, it led to the formation of more interfaces within the precursor. These interfaces lowered the energy barrier for the formation of nanocrystals by Cs⁺, Pb²⁺, and Br^- ions. Therefore, a small portion of crystals reappeared in the precursors of Pb-3 and Pb-4.

Fig. 4(a) presents the glass precursors prepared with different conditions of Pb²⁺ ions. The results indicate that extensive crystallization did not occur in Pb-2, Pb-3, and Pb-4 precursors, whereas Pb-1 precursor exhibits crystal formation due to the larger radius of Pb²⁺ ions that occupied more space in the lattice structure and increased the atomic packing density of the glass.

The XRD results after thermal induction at 460 ℃ for 2 h (Fig. 4(b)) aligned with the precursor results (Fig. 4(a)). After thermal induction treatment, Pb-1 displays prominent diffraction peaks, while Pb-2, Pb-3, and Pb-4 do not. The obvious diffraction peaks in Pb-1 can be attributed to the substantial crystallization that have already occurred in its precursor (as depicted in Fig. 4(a)). Consequently, an increased number of crystals are formed during the thermal induction process, thereby resulting in the distinct diffraction peaks.

At this stage, the luminescent performance of the samples was characterized, and it was observed that Pb-3 exhibited the optimal results. This indicates that an inadequate concentration of Pb²⁺ in the precursor leads to the occurrence of uncontrollable crystallization, resulting in a reduction in the final PL intensity. Likewise, an excessive concentration of Pb²⁺ results in a high density of the borosilicate glass precursor, hindering the migration of Cs⁺, Pb²⁺, and Br^- ions necessary for the formation of CsPbBr₃ QDs. Consequently, this excessive density contributes to a decrease in PL intensity.

To investigate the impact of Pb²⁺ ions on the luminescent properties of CsPbBr₃ QDs in glass, we further employed FT-IR and XPS to delve into the glass structure. The results are shown in Fig. 5(a-c). Fig. 5(a) illustrates that the glass network structure is primarily composed of polyhedra such as [BO₃], [BO₄] and [SiO₄]. The peak at 710 cm^-1 corresponds to the bending vibration of B-O bonds in the [BO₃] groups. The broad peak at 1024 cm^-1 corresponds to the stretching vibrations of both [BO₄] groups and Si-O-Si bonds. The shoulder peak at 1272 cm^-1 corresponds to the vibration of [BO₃] polyhedra, while the shoulder peak at 1375 cm^-1 corresponds to the asymmetric stretching vibration of [BO₃] polyhedra.

From Pb-1 to Pb-4, a broad peak at 1024 cm^-1 noticeably shifts towards higher wavenumber, indicating an increasing contents of [SiO₄] and [BO₄]. This suggests that the glass network structure become more compact with the increasing concentration of Pb²⁺. It aligns well with our previous speculation regarding the occurrence of uncontrolled crystallization in the precursor. Moreover, through XPS analysis, we investigated the ratio of bridging oxygen bonds to non-bridging oxygen bonds in the borosilicate glass (Fig. 5(c)). The results indicate that the proportion of bridging oxygen bonds gradually increases as the Pb²⁺ concentration rises. This explains the aforementioned hypothesis that “Pb²⁺ exerts a stronger attraction on neighboring [SiO₄] and [BO₄], contributing to the enhancement of the three-dimensional network structure of the glass.”

Subsequently, this study evaluated the water resistance, UV irradiation resistance, and thermal cycling stability of the samples. The results indicate that the PL intensity can maintain over 70% of its initial value even after immersion for 360 h (Fig. 6(a)). Similarly, the PL intensity remains above 70% of its initial value after exposure to UV radiation for 210 h (Fig. 6(b)). The primary reasons for the attenuation of its water stability and UV stability are mainly due to the fact that, during the high-energy ball milling process, the powder material develops numerous cracks, resulting in a greater number of QDs being exposed. Consequently, these exposed QDs are more susceptible to environmental influences, which lead to a significant decrease in their intensity. And after undergoing 10 cycles of thermal cycling, the luminescence intensity of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass retains 98.9% of its initial value without significant decrease. The luminescence intensity for each individual cycle maintains over 80% of its initial value. Moreover, the full width at half maxima (FWHM) is relatively stable at around 24 nm, without significant change (Fig. 6(c)).

Finally, the material was mixed with PDMS and combined with a 365 nm UV chip to create LED microspheres. The characterization results (Fig. 7(a)) show that the LED samples produced using Pb-2 as the base material after thermal induction at 460 ℃ for 2 h have an emission center at 517 nm (Fig. 2(b)), closely matching the original material’s emission center at 518 nm. Additionally, Fig. 7(b) reveals that the LED color coordinates achieved with Pb-2, Pb-3, and Pb-4 are (0.21, 0.62), (0.16, 0.60) and (0.14, 0.53) respectively, encompassing a spectrum of 110% sRGB color gamut and extending the boundaries of color space.

3 Conclusions

In this study, we successfully prepared high-luminescence PQDs@glass under the conditions of a thermal induction temperature of 460 ℃ and a Pb²⁺ concentration of 6 mol. Based on this, we systematically investigated the influence of Pb²⁺ ions on the structure of PQDs@glass, and found that an increase in Pb²⁺ content leads to a densification of the microstructure of PQDs@glass, thereby affecting the diffusion of glass components and resulting in a change in the luminescence intensity of PQDs@glass. Subsequently, LED devices prepared from these materials expanded the standard RGB color gamut. This study extends the potential applications of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass in the fields of LED lighting and display, laying the foundation for the large-scale preparation of CsPbBr₃ QDs@glass.
