Revealing photoluminescence mechanisms of single CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell perovskite nanocrystals
2021
CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) encapsulated by Cs4PbBr6 has attracted extensive attention due to good stability and high photoluminescence (PL) emission efficiency. However, the origin of photoluminescence (PL) emission from CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 composite materials has been controversial. In this work, we prepare CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell nanoparticles and firstly study the mechanism of its photoluminescence (PL) at the single-particle level. Based on photoluminescence (PL) intensity trajectories and photon antibunching measurements, we have found that photoluminescence (PL) intensity trajectories of individual CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell NCs vary from the uniform longer periods to multiple-step intensity behaviors with increasing excitation level. Meanwhile, second-order photon correlation functions exhibit single photon emission behaviors especially at lower excitation levels. However, the PL intensity trajectories of individual Cs4PbBr6 NCs demonstrate apparent “burst-like” behaviors with very high values of g2(0) at any excitation power. Therefore, the distinguishable emission statistics help us to elucidate whether the photoluminescence (PL) emission of CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell NCs stems from band-edge exciton recombination of CsPbBr3 NCs or intrinsic Br vacancy states of Cs4PbBr6 NCs. These findings provide key information about the origin of emission in CsPbBr3/Cs4PbBr6 core/shell nanoparticles, which improves their utilization in the further optoelectronic applications.
