研究目的
To develop Pb/Cd-free, solution processed luminescent Ag2ZnSnS4 (AZTS) colloidal QDs with size-tunable bandgap for compliance with RoHS Directive and applications in optoelectronics.
研究成果
A synthetic method for producing size-controlled, luminescent environmentally friendly AZTS QDs has been developed, demonstrating the quantum confinement effect for the first time in these quaternary QDs. Surface passivation with Zn-oleate improves colloidal and phase stability and enhances PLQY, paving the way for their adoption in optoelectronic device applications.
研究不足
The PL quantum yield of these QDs is low (3.8%) compared to established (Cd, Pb) based binary or (Cu, In) based ternary chalcogenide QDs. Possible reasons include cationic disorder leading to bulk defects and insufficient ligand passivation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Hot injection technique was used for the synthesis of AZTS QDs, controlling reaction conditions to achieve size variation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Precursors included Silver Acetate, Tin (II) acetate, Zinc(II) acetate, oleic Acid, 1-octadecene, sulfur powder, and Hexamethyldisilathiane.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 50 ml three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with a temperature controller probe, schlenk line, and heating mantle.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Degassing under vacuum, injection of sulfur precursor, annealing, and washing by centrifugation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
TEM for size analysis, UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy for optical properties, XRD and Raman spectroscopy for structural analysis.
