Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with narrow emissions have been mostly prepared at high temperatures and high pressures, with long reaction times and tedious purification processes, which greatly limits their large-scale production. In contrast, the microwave-assisted solvothermal method can produce CDs simply and rapidly, but often results in wide-emissive CDs with full widths at half maximum (FWHM) larger than 80 nm. In this study, the microwave synthesis of CDs was improved by using ethylene glycol as the solvent and sodium thiosulfate as the oxidant. Consequently, narrow emissive CDs with a FWHM of only 35 nm were obtained from phloroglucinol, and were purified by simple precipitation using a mixed solvent of ethanol and dichloromethane. The structural characterization studies of the obtained CDs reveal that the sulfur element could be doped in the carbon structure with the addition of thiosulfate. It was also demonstrated that the photoluminescence efficiency of the CDs is greatly determined by their carbon core structures and edge groups. In addition, the fluorescence of CDs could be tuned significantly from the blue region to the green region by changing the dispersing solvent. Accordingly, the prepared CDs were successfully applied for the sensing of water content in organic solvents.

High quality blue emitting quantum dots (QDs) are regarded as promising nanomaterials for lasers, photovoltaic cells and displays. However, few reports realize high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY), narrow emission band width and pure blue emitting (450∼460 nm) simultaneously. Herein we propose a facile one-step synthesis of thick shell blue emitting CdZnS/ZnS QDs. ZnS shell was overcoated on the prepared cores by directly introducing zinc oleate/S TBP solution (zinc oleate powder and S dissolved in TBP) into mixture without any purification steps and the thickness of ZnS shell was controlled by adjusting the adding amount of zinc oleate/S TBP solution. The optimal QDs with ten monolayers of ZnS shell exhibit pure blue light (∼455 nm) with narrow line width (full width half maximum, FWHM 17.2 nm) and high photoluminescent quantum yield (QY) (92%). Due to the thick ZnS shell, nonradiative recombination of the QD solids is suppressed efficiently.

Methylammonium lead bromide perovskite (MAPbBr 3 ) quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronic applications owing to their exceptional photoluminescent properties. However, their practical applications face significant challenges due to inherent instability issues. Herein, a solvent-induced in situ crystallization method is presented to encapsulate MAPbBr 3 QDs within a crosslinked (cl-) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) network. This innovative approach eliminates environmental concerns associated with traditional solvent evaporation methods while enabling uniform dispersion and stabilization of perovskite QDs within the crosslinked polymer matrix. The effects of preparation conditions are systematically investigated on the optical performance of the composite materials. Notably, UV irradiation is found to significantly enhance the luminescent performance. The optimized MAPbBr 3 @cl-PMMA exhibits outstanding optoelectronic performance, featuring a narrow emission profile (full width at half maximum: 24.6 nm), high optical transmittance (91%), and an impressive photoluminescence quantum yield of 98.3%. Benefiting from the protective crosslinked polymer matrix, the composite demonstrates exceptional stability. Furthermore, by integrating MAPbBr 3 @cl-PMMA film with commercial K 2 SiF 6 :Mn 4+ (KSF) red phosphor, a liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight device achieving a wide color gamut of 122.7% National Television System Committee (NTSC) 1953 standard is fabricated. This environmentally friendly and scalable synthesis method offers a promising pathway for large-area manufacturing and practical optoelectronic applications.

As an alternative to toxic Cd-based blue light-emitting quantum dots (QDs) and chemically unstable perovskite ones, heavy-metal-free and stable ZnSe QDs have great potential for quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) displays. Through overcoming the challenge of controllable synthesis of ZnSe QDs with desirable properties, this work reported the synthesis of super-narrow-band blue-emitting ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs with full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of photoluminescence/electroluminescence as narrow as 19/20 nm, peaked at 446/449 nm, respectively. The crystallization of the core/shell QDs was well controlled by systematic optimization on the molar ratios of cations to anions and the amount of precursor addition. The coating shell of ZnS, which has a wider band gap than ZnSe, could effectively suppresses the fluorescence tail in the emission spectrum that is caused by defects on the ZnSe core surface, narrowing the FWHM of the emission spectrum and increasing the fluorescence quantum yield of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs. The prepared QLED using ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs exhibits superior color purity, particularly suitable for display applications. This work opens up a new route to synthesizing heavy-metal-free ultra-narrow-band blue-emitting QDs.

For the display applications of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), emission linewidth, and operational stability are the main parameters that directly affect the performance of the optoelectronic device. High-temperature solid-state synthesis has been regarded as an eco-friendlier process to prepare perovskite NCs than colloidal synthesis. However, it is relatively difficult to control the sizes and size distribution of NCs at high temperatures, which usually results in a lower PLQY and wider emission. Here, highly stable CsPbBr 3 NCs with a high PLQY up to 93% and a narrow emission linewidth of 18 nm are successfully prepared by a hard-template solid-state synthesis at high temperature (600 °C). It is found that the precisely confined growth of NCs in the thermally stable and uniform pores of the mesoporous silica (MS) template is the main reason to achieve the high PLQY and narrow emission, and the pre-hydrolysis sealing strategy contributes to the exceptional stability. More surprisingly, the emission peak intensity of CsPbBr 3 /MS@SiO 2 is 3.8 times higher than that of the commercialized silicate green phosphor when encapsulated on the blue-chip with the same absorbance at 450 nm, which makes it an ideal down-conversion emitter for display applications.

All-inorganic metal halides perovskites , such as CsPbX 3 quantum dots (QDs), are high-performance photoelectric materials ; they have attracted considerable attention for applications such as LEDs and laser and solar cells. Herein, we report an anion hot injection (HI) method to prepare CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I, Cl/Br, and Br/I) QDs using trimethylhalosilane (TMXS) as a halogen ion donor. By adjusting the ratio of different TMXSs (trimethylchlorosilane, trimethylbromosilane, and trimethyliodosilane), the synthesized samples can achieve tunable emission in the range of 416–710 nm, narrow emission line widths of 13–33 nm, and luminescence lifetimes of 32–223 ns. These QDs also have better stability in external environment compared with those obtained using traditional HI method.

Environmentally friendly zinc selenide (ZnSe) based core/shell quantum dots (QDs) are promising emitting materials for special light sources and displays. However, ZnSe-based core/shell QDs with violet-blue emission that simultaneously possess thick shells and narrow emission linewidths are still challenging thus far. We herein use a gradient ZnSe x S 1-x /ZnS shell strategy to target this goal. The ZnSe x S 1-x mid shell helps the lattice strain relaxation during the growth, whereas the wide bandgap ZnS outer shell benefits the optical properties by passivating the emitting cores and improving the quantum confinement effect. These ZnSe core QDs show a unity zinc blende structure and high crystallinity . The optimized ZnSe/ZnSe x S 1-x /ZnS QDs exhibit tunable emission wavelengths (415–445 nm), narrow photoluminescence linewidths (10.2–14.2 nm), thick shells (>3.9 nm), and high photoluminescence quantum yields (>50%). We postulate that these excellent features are due to the use of alloyed ZnSe x S 1-x layer at the core/shell interfaces. This study provides a feasible idea for the development of blue ZnSe-based QDs with perfect emitting properties.
