研究目的
To develop a facile approach for fabricating solution-processed cesium lead halide perovskite structures of any arbitrary shape and size from their nanocrystal counterparts via a pulsed laser photopatterning process.
研究成果
The study outlines a facile protocol that enables the direct photopatterning of ASE-active perovskite-based structures through strong photoexcitation of drop-casted films or concentrated solutions of colloidal perovskite NCs. This results in sintering of the NCs which alleviates Auger recombination and increases absorption cross-section whilst conferring solvation resistance to the perovskite film. The robustness and utility of the protocol are demonstrated through patterning, layering and fabricating structures capable of multiwavelength ASE, orientation-dependent wavelength of ASE, as well as ASE operation while fully immersed in polar and nonpolar solvents.
研究不足
The photopatterning protocol has limitations for use with CsPb(Br/I)3 systems due to phase instability introduced by the larger I atoms. The high-intensity, ligand-removing pulsed laser excitation process likely accelerates the phase change of CsPb(Br/I)3 to produce patterned structures that are nonemissive and therefore unsuitable as optical gain media.
