研究目的
To synthesize emission tunable AgInS2/ZnS quantum dots and apply them for light emitting diodes, focusing on the development of environmentally-friendly quantum dots without cadmium.
研究成果
Emission tunable AgInS2/ZnS QDs were successfully synthesized and applied in LEDs, achieving a maximum EQE of 1.25% and luminance of 1120 cd/m2. The study demonstrates the potential of cadmium-free QDs for optoelectronic applications, with room for improvement in device performance through further research.
研究不足
The performances of the fabricated AIS/ZnS-based device lag behind those of Cd-based ones. The broad emission line width and the need for optimization of device structure and QD synthesis strategies are identified as limitations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Hot-injection method was employed to synthesize AgInS2 (AIS) QDs and core/shell AIS/ZnS QDs. The ratio of indium/silver (In/Ag) was adjusted to tune the emission wavelength.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
AIS QDs with different In/Ag ratios (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) were synthesized. The AIS QDs with In/Ag = 4 were selected for further ZnS shell coating due to their highest PL QYs.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included silver nitrate, indium acetate, zinc acetate, sulfur, oleic acid, oleylamine, 1-octadecene, 1-dodecanethiol, and others. Equipment included a three-neck flask for synthesis, UV-vis spectrophotometer, PL spectrometer, and TEM for characterization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
AIS QDs were synthesized by injecting sulfur precursor into a mixture of metal precursors at 130°C. ZnS shell was grown by injecting Zn and S precursors into the AIS QDs solution. The QDs were then purified and used to fabricate LEDs.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The optical properties were characterized using UV-vis absorption and PL spectra. The structure was analyzed using TEM and XRD. The device performance was evaluated by measuring EL spectra, luminance, and EQE.
