Ultrafast Study of Exciton Transfer in Sb(III)-Doped Two-Dimensional [NH3(CH2)4NH3]CdBr4 Perovskite
Antimony-based metal halide hybrids have attracted enormous attention due to the stereoactive 5s2 electron pair that drives intense triplet broadband emission. However, energy/charge transfer has been rarely achieved for Sb3+-doped materials. Herein, Sb3+ ions are homogeneously doped into 2D [NH3(CH2)4NH3]CdBr4 perovskite (Cd-PVK) using a wet-chemical method. Compared to the weak singlet exciton emission of Cd-PVK at 380 nm, 0.01% Sb3+-doped Cd-PVK exhibits intense triplet emission located at 640 nm with a near-unity quantum yield. Further increasing the doping concentration of Sb3+ completely quenches singlet exciton emission of Cd-PVK, concurrently with enhanced Sb3+ triplet emission. Delayed luminescence and femtosecond-transient absorption studies suggest that Sb3+ emission originates from exciton transfer (ET) from Cd-PVK host to Sb3+ dopant, while such ET cannot occur with Pb2+-doped Cd-PVK because of the mismatch of energy levels. In addition, density function theory calculations indicate that the introduced Sb3+ likely replace the Cd2+ ions along with the deprotonation of butanediammonium for charge balance, instead of generating Cd2+ vacancies. This work provides a deeper understanding of the ET of Sb3+-doped Cd-PVK and suggests an effective strategy to achieve efficient triplet Sb3+ emission beyond 0D Cl-based hybrids.
