Indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) with luminescence tunable over the entire visible spectrum were prepared by the conventional hot injection method. InP QDs are considered alternatives to Cadmium containing QDs for application in light-emitting devices because of showing similar optical properties to those containing toxic heavy metals. The multishell coating was shown to improve the photoluminescence quantum yield (QY) of InP QDs more strongly than the conventional ZnS shell coating. QY values were more than 60% along with FWHM of 41-73 nm can be routinely achieved, making the optical performance of InP/ZnS/ZnS or InP/ZnS/SiO2 QDs comparable to that of InP/ZnS QDs. These QDs and the polymer dissolved in the appropriate solvent and deposited by casting to give homogeneous films and showed a good level of dispersion of the QDs within the polymer.

<p>Indium phosphide (InP) nanomaterials are attractive for countless technological applications due to their well-placed band gap energies. The quantum confinement of these semiconductors can give rise to size-dependent absorption and emission features throughout the entire visible spectrum. Therefore, InP materials can be employed as low-toxicity fluorophores that can be implemented in high value avenues such as biological probes, lighting applications, and lasing technologies. However, large scale development of these quantum dots (QDs) has been stymied by the lack of affordable and safe phosphorus precursors. Syntheses have largely been restricted to the use of dangerous chemicals such as tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine ((TMS)₃P), which is costly and highly sensitive to oxygen and water. Recently, less-hazardous tris(dialkylamino)phosphines have been introduced to produce InP QDs on par with those utilizing (TMS)₃P. However, a poor understanding of the reaction mechanics has resulted in difficulties tuning and optimizing this method.  In this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to identify the mechanism of this aminophosphine precursor conversion. This understanding is then implemented to design an improved InP QD synthesis, allowing for the production of high-quality materials outside of glovebox conditions. Time is spent understanding the impact of different precursor salts on the reaction mechanisms and discerning their subsequent effects on nanoparticle size and quality. The motivation of this work is to formulate safer and less technical indium phosphide quantum dot syntheses to foster non-specialist and industrial implementation of these materials.</p>

Abstract In recent years, significant progress has been made in the red and green perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) based light-emitting devices. However, a scarcity of blue-emitting devices that are extremely efficient precludes their research and development for optoelectronic applications. Taking advantage of tunable bandgaps of PQDs over the entire visible spectrum, herein we tune optical properties of CSPbBr3 by mixing Nd3+ trivalent lanthanide halide cations for blue light-emitting devices. The CsPbBr3 PQDs doped with Nd3+ trivalent lanthanide halide cations emitted strong photoemission from green into the blue region. By adjusting their doping concentration, a tunable wavelength from (515 nm) to (450 nm) was achieved with FWHM from (37.83 nm) to (16.6 nm). We simultaneously observed PL linewidth broadening thermal quenching of PL and the blue shift of the optical bandgap from temperature-dependent PL studies. The Nd3+ cations into CsPbBr3 PQDs more efficiently reduced non-radiative recombination. As a result of the efficient removal of defects from PQDs, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) has been significantly increased to 91% in the blue-emitting region. Significantly, Nd3+ PQDs exhibit excellent long-term stability against the external environment, including water, temperature, and ultraviolet light irradiation. Moreover, we successfully transformed Nd3+ doped PQDs into highly fluorescent nanocomposites. Incorporating these findings, we fabricate and test a stable blue light-emitting LED with EL emission at (462 nm), (475 nm), and successfully produce white light emission from Nd3+ doped nanocomposites with a CIE at (0.32, 0.34), respectively. The findings imply that low-cost Nd3+ doped perovskites may be attractive as light converters in LCDs with a broad color gamut.
