Cd-Free Quantum Dot Pellets for Efficient White Light Generation
(Optical Soc Amer, 2017) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, Evren
Semiconductor quantum dots have been on demand for niche optoelectronic applications providing color tenability and possessing high quantum yield and high extinction coefficient. Although the investigation of II-VI have attained a mature level of understanding of the photo physical properties, suppression of the nonradiative decay channels and enhancing the optical properties for III-V material systems still remain a challenge. In this study, we have developed and demonstrated a simple, very fast, and efficient strategy to synthesize the highly luminescent III-V group based In(Zn)P quantum dots (QDs) utilized by the effect of core growth temperature, revealing their emission kinetics and their outstanding application for white light generation. Varying the core growth temperature from 240 degrees C to 90 degrees C, limiting the extent of the precursors involved in the synthesis, and a substantial enhancement of the photoluminescence quantum yield up to 75% is demonstrated. Further modification of the synthesis procedure with optimizing the In:P precursor ratio for the first time up to 88.5 +/- 5.5% quantum yield of alloyed core/shell In(Zn)P/ZnS QDs is achieved, in which the whole synthesis process takes only around one hour. In addition, as a demonstration of Cd-free pellets, versatile pellets of green and orange emitting QDs within KCl macrocrystals are prepared. Hybridizing with blue LED, a white light with correlated color temperature of 4597K along with an unprecedentedly high color rendering index of 90 is presented. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America

CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dot Films for High Performance Flexible Lighting and Display Applications
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2016) Altintas, Yemliha; Genc, Sinan; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, Evren
Colloidal quantum dots have attracted significant interest in recent years for lighting and display applications and have recently appeared in high-end market products. The integration of quantum dots with light emitting diodes has made them promising candidates for superior lighting applications with tunable optical characteristics. In this work we propose and demonstrate high quality colloidal quantum dots in their novel free-standing film forms to allow high quality white light generation to address flexible lighting and display applications. High quality quantum dots have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, steady state and time resolved photoluminescence and dynamic light scattering methods. The engineering of colloidal quantum dot composition and its optical properties in stand-alone film form has led to the experimentally high NTSC color gamut of 122.5 (CIE-1931) for display applications, color rendering index of 88.6, luminous efficacy of optical radiation value of 290 lm/W-opt and color temperature of 2763 K for lighting applications.

Cesium-Lead Based Inorganic Perovskite Quantum-Dots as Interfacial Layer for Highly Stable Perovskite Solar Cells With Exceeding 21% Efficiency
(Elsevier, 2019) Akin, Seckin; Altintas, Yemliha; Mutlugun, Evren; Sonmezoglu, Savas
Despite the excellent photovoltaic performances of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the instability of PSCs under severe environment (e.g. humidity, light-induced, etc.) limits further commercialization of such devices. Therefore, in recent years, research on the long-term stability improvement of PSCs has been actively carried out in perovskite field. To address these issues, we demonstrated the incorporation of ultra-thin interfacial layer of inorganic CsPbBr1.85I1.15 perovskite quantum-dots (PQDs) that can effectively passivate defects at or near to the perovskite/hole transport material (HTM) interface, significantly suppressing interfacial recombination. This passivation layer increased the open circuit voltage (V-oc) of triple-cation perovskite cells by as much as 50 mV, with champion cells achieving V-oc similar to 1.14 V. As a result, we obtained hysteresis-free cells with the efficiency beyond 21%. More importantly, devices based on such architecture are capable of resisting humidity and light-induced. Remarkably, the device employing CsPbBr1.85I1.15 demonstrated a superb shelf-stability aganist to humidity under ambient conditions (R.H. >= 40%), retaining nearly 91% of initial efficiency after 30 days, while the efficiency of control device rapidly dropped to 45% from its initial value under the same conditions. Besides benefiting from the high moisture resistivity as well as supressed ion migration, PSC5 based on PQDs showed better operational stability (retaining 94% of their initial performance) than that of the PQDs-free one under continuous light irradiation over 400 h. In addition, a faster PL decay time of 4.66 ns was attained for perovskite/PQDs structure (5.77 ns for only PQDs structure) due to the favorable energy transfer at the interface, indicating a Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. This work indicates that inorganic PQDs are important materials as interlayer in PSC5 to supremely enhance the device stability and efficiency.

(Elsevier Science SA, 2015) Altintas, Yemliha; Aksoz, Sezen; Keslioglu, Kazim; Marasli, Necmettin
In the present work, the Gibbs-Thomson coefficient, solid-liquid and solid-solid interfacial energies and grain boundary energy of a solid Al solution in the Al-Cu-Si eutectic system were determined from the observed grain boundary groove shapes by measuring the thermal conductivity of the solid and liquid phases and temperature gradient. Some thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy of fusion, entropy of fusion, the change of specific heat from liquid to solid and the electrical conductivity of solid phases at their melting temperature were also evaluated by using the measured values of relevant data for Al-Cu, Al-Si, Al-Mg, Al-Ni, Al-Ti, Al-Cu-Ag, Al-Cu-Si binary and ternary alloys.

(Elsevier Science SA, 2017) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, Evren
In this work, we demonstrate the effect of organic ligands on the optical properties of alloyed core-shell InPZnS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). We have systematically studied the synthesis and characterization of InPZnS/ZnS QDs using short and long chain length ligands i.e., butyric (C4), hexanoic (C6), octanoic (C8), dodecanoic (C12), myristic (C14), palmitic (C16) and stearic acids (C18), respectively. This study achieved more than 85% quantum yield with 43 nm full-width-half maximum value, using dodecanoic acid as the capping ligand. The properties of the QDs with short and long chain length ligands have been analyzed using UV Vis absorption spectrophotometer, steady state and time resolved photoluminescence spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, Zeta sizer, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

(Springer, 2019) Esener, Pinar Ata; Altintas, Yemliha; Bayram, Umit; Ozturk, Esra; Marasli, Necmettin; Aksoz, Sezen
The thermal conductivity variations with temperature for Zn90-x-Sn-x-Bi10 (x=5,10, 40 and 85wt%) and Bi88-x-Sn-x-Zn-12 (x=1.39, 43.26 and 79.3wt%) alloys were measured by using the linear heat flow method. From thermal conductivity-temperature plots, the coefficients of thermal conductivity for the Zn-Sn-Bi alloys were calculated. The microstructures of Zn-Sn-Bi alloys were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The existing phases into microstructure were identified energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The melting temperatures, the enthalpy of fusion and specific heat change between the liquid and solid phases in the Zn-Sn-Bi alloys were determined from Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) trace. The tensile strength and microhardness of the alloys were measured using a Shimadzu Universal Testing Instrument (Type AG-10 KNG) and Future-Tech FM-700 model microhardness device.

Efficient Forster Resonance Energy Transfer Donors of In(Zn)P/ZnS Quantum Dots
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, Evren
We demonstrate a detailed investigation of the effect of the type and concentration of zinc precursor on the optical properties of In(Zn)P/ZnS quantum dots. We achieved up to 87% quantum yield along with 54 nm emission bandwidth for the green emitters with changing the concentration of the Zn precursors. Employing efficient green emitters as the donor species, we demonstrated an efficient Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) couple of green and red emitting InP-based quantum dots. With a FRET efficiency level of 70.3% achieved (analyzed from the donor lifetime with and without an acceptor), we further demonstrated the enhancement of the acceptor emission nearly twofold due to the energy transfer. Our results provide new insights toward the understanding of the excitonic interactions among donor and acceptor quantum dots of the III-V family for light harvesting applications.

(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017) Altintas, Yemliha; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Unlu, Miray; Dadi, Seyma; Genc, Sinan; Mutlugun, Evren
Salt matrix has recently been introduced as a promising robust platform for embedding colloidal quantum dots to provide them with photo stability for versatile applications. This work demonstrates the excitonic interaction amongst high efficiency colloidal InP/ZnS quantum dots embedded in a KCl salt matrix. By varying the donor acceptor ratio within the solid platform, 65% Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) efficiency was attained. Optimizing the donor : acceptor ratio, we demonstrated the first FRET-enabled Cd-free pellets for white light generation possessing a color rendering index (CRI) of 84.7, correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5347.5 K, and a high luminous efficacy of optical radiation value (LER) of 324.3 lm/W-opt. Our study of excitonic interactions within quantum dot-loaded salt matrices will open new possibilities for future versatile optoelectronic applications.

FRET Enabled Light Harvesting within Quantum Dot Loaded Nanofibers
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018) Altintas, Yemliha; Kiremitler, Nuri Burak; Genc, Sinan; Onses, M. Serdar; Mutlugun, Evren
The spatial control of the nano-emitters in novel light harvesting platforms offers great potential for the manipulation of the excitonic interaction amongst the donor-acceptor pairs of energy transferring agents. In this work, we report colloidal quantum dot loaded electrospun nanofibers as a light harvesting platform to study the excitonic interaction among them. The donor emission lifetime modified from 12.46 ns to 7.45 ns with the change in the ratio of green and red quantum dots in the nanofiber, as a result of confining acceptor quantum dots in close proximity. The spectrally narrow emitter luminescent nanofiber platforms have further been investigated for their potential of white light generation. The hybrid platform of blue LED integrated electrospun nanofibers has been shown to demonstrate a correlated color temperature of 3632.5 K, luminous efficacy of optical radiation value of 307.7 lm/W-opt along with color rendering index value of 60.

Giant Alloyed Hot Injection Shells Enable Ultralow Optical Gain Threshold in Colloidal Quantum Wells
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019) Altintas, Yemliha; Gungor, Kivanc; Gao, Yuan; Sak, Mustafa; Quliyeva, Ulviyya; Bappi, Golam; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
As an attractive materials system for high- Record-low optical gain threshold in giant-shell COWs performance optoelectronics, colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) benefit from atomic-level precision in thickness, minimizing emission inhomogeneous broadening. Much progress has been made to enhance their photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and photostability. However, to date, layer-by-layer growth of shells at room temperature has resulted in defects that limit PLQY and thus curtail the 0.2 performance of NPLs as an optical gain medium. Here, we introduce a hot-injection method growing giant alloyed shells using an approach that reduces core/shell lattice mismatch and suppresses Auger recombination. Near-unity PLQY is achieved with a narrow full-width-at-half-maximum (20 nm), accompanied by emission tunability (from 610 to 650 nm). The biexciton lifetime exceeds 1 ns, an order of magnitude longer than in conventional colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). Reduced Auger recombination enables record-low amplified spontaneous emission threshold of 2.4 mu J cm(-2) under one-photon pumping. This is lower by a factor of 2.5 than the best previously reported value in nanocrystals (6 /kJ cm(-2) for CdSe/CdS NPLs). Here, we also report single-mode lasing operation with a 0.55 mu J cm(-2) threshold under two-photoexcitation, which is also the best among nanocrystals (compared to 0.76 mu J cm(-2) from CdSe/CdS CQDs in the Fabry-Perot cavity). These findings indicate that hot-injection growth of thick alloyed shells makes ultrahigh performance NPLs.

Highly Efficient Cd-Free Alloyed Core/Shell Quantum Dots With Optimized Precursor Concentrations
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2016) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Unlu, Miray; Mutlugun, Evren
The chemical composition, the emission spectral bandwidth, and photoluminescence quantum yield of a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) play an important role in the assessment of the performance of the applications related to the quantum dots. Quantum dots based on environmentally friendly compositions with high optical performance have been in demand for high-end technological applications. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a detailed synthesis approach for environmentally friendly and highly efficient InPZnS alloy/ZnS shell quantum dots. Following a systematic study of the ratio and type of the precursors involved, we achieved alloyed core shell InPZnS/ZnS QDs with tunable emission across the visible spectrum, having a record quantum efficiency up to 78% along with a full width at half-maximum as narrow as 45 nm. The effect of the systematic shell growth has been further investigated using time-resolved photoluminescence characterizations along with the observation of the suppression of the nonradiative decay channels, with the photoluminescence lifetime prolonged from 20.3 to 50.4 ns. The development of highly efficient and environmentally friendly QDs will pave the way for robust, sustainable optoelectronic applications.

Highly Stable, Near-Unity Efficiency Atomically Flat Semiconductor Nanocrystals of CdSe/ZnS Hetero-Nanoplatelets Enabled by ZnS-Shell Hot-Injection Growth
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2019) Altintas, Yemliha; Quliyeva, Ulviyya; Gungor, Kivanc; Erdem, Onur; Kelestemur, Yusuf; Mutlugun, Evren; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
Colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) offer important benefits in nanocrystal optoelectronics with their unique excitonic properties. For NPLs, colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) provides the ability to produce their core/shell heterostructures. However, as c-ALD takes place at room temperature, this technique allows for only limited stability and low quantum yield. Here, highly stable, near-unity efficiency CdSe/ZnS NPLs are shown using hot-injection (HI) shell growth performed at 573 K, enabling routinely reproducible quantum yields up to 98%. These CdSe/ZnS HI-shell hetero-NPLs fully recover their initial photoluminescence (PL) intensity in solution after a heating cycle from 300 to 525 K under inert gas atmosphere, and their solid films exhibit 100% recovery of their initial PL intensity after a heating cycle up to 400 K under ambient atmosphere, by far outperforming the control group of c-ALD shell-coated CdSe/ZnS NPLs, which can sustain only 20% of their PL. In optical gain measurements, these core/HI-shell NPLs exhibit ultralow gain thresholds reaching approximate to 7 mu J cm(-2). Despite being annealed at 500 K, these ZnS-HI-shell NPLs possess low gain thresholds as small as 25 mu J cm(-2). These findings indicate that the proposed 573 K HI-shell-grown CdSe/ZnS NPLs hold great promise for extraordinarily high performance in nanocrystal optoelectronics.

Improving Performance and Stability in Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cell Through Single Layer Graphene/Cu2S Nanocomposite Counter Electrode
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Akman, Erdi; Altintas, Yemliha; Gulen, Mahir; Yilmaz, Mucahit; Mutlugun, Evren; Sonmezoglu, Savas
In this work, we presented an effective nanocomposite to modify the Cu2S film by employing single layer graphene (SLG) frameworks via chemical vapor deposition, and utilized this nanocomposite as counter electrode (CE) with CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots for highly stable and efficient quantum dot-sensitized solar cell (QDSSC). Furthermore, Cu2S film is directly synthesized on SLG framework by electrodeposition method. Using this nanocomposite as CE, we have achieved the high efficiency as high as 3.93% with fill factor of 0.63, which is higher than those with bare Cu2S CE (3.40% and 0.57). This remarkable performance is attributed to the surface area enhancement by creating nanoflower-shape, the reduction of charge transfer resistance, improvement of catalytic stability, and the surface smoothness as well as good adhesion. More importantly, no visible color change and detachment from surface for the Cu2S@SLG nanocomposite was observed, demonstrating that the SLG framework is critical role in shielding the Cu2S structure from sulphur ions into electrolyte, and increasing the adhesion of the Cu2S structure on surface, thus preventing its degradation. Consequently, the Cu2S@SLG nanocomposite can be utilized as an effective agent to boost up the performance of QDSSCs. (c) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Magnetically Controlled Anisotropic Light Emission of DNA-Functionalized Supraparticles
(Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Erdem, Talha; Zupkauskas, Mykolas; O'Neill, Thomas; Cassiagli, Alessio; Xu, Peicheng; Altintas, Yemliha; Eiser, Erika; O’Neill, Thomas
In this article, we show the DNA-functionalization of supraparticles, form their network, and manipulate the optical features of these networks by applying a magnetic field. We start with preparing the supraparticles (SPs) of semiconducting InP/ZnSeS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), plasmonic silver nanoparticles, and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. These SPs are prepared by employing azide-functionalized amphiphilic diblock or triblock copolymers as well as by using their combinations. Subsequently, we attached single-stranded DNAs to these SPs by employing copper-free click chemistry. Next, we hybridized DNA-coated QD SPs with the iron oxide SPs and formed a network. By applying a magnetic field, we restructured this network such that the iron oxide SPs are aligned. This led to an anisotropic emission from the QD SPs with a polarization ratio of 1.9. This study presents a proof-of-concept scheme to control the optical features of a self-assembled supraparticle system using an external interaction. We believe that our work will further contribute to the utilization of smart self-assembly techniques in optics and photonics.

Multiplexed Patterning of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals by Additive Jet Printing for Efficient White Light Generation
(Elsevier Science SA, 2020) Altintas, Yemliha; Torun, Ilker; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Beskazak, Emre; Erdem, Talha; Onses, M. Serdar; Mutlugun, Evren
Inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) offer the ability to precisely but also flexibly control the peak emission wavelength while also possessing narrow-band emission spectra and high quantum yields. Owing to these features, PNCs have been already employed as color converters on LEDs. Nevertheless, the anion exchange reactions that prevent the blending of perovskites of different colors remain as an important bottleneck. As a remedy to this issue, here we employ additive jet printing to form separated stripes of these nanocrystals. Within this framework, we first present the synthesis of CsPbBr3 and CsPbBrxI3-x nanocrystals spanning the whole visible regime and optimize the cleaning procedure to obtain PNCs possessing photoluminescence quantum yields as high as 91% and emission linewidths as narrow as 15 nm, making them suitable for high quality white light generation. Next, we employ electrohydrodynamic jet printing to form closely spaced stripes of PNCs of various colors and integrated these films with a blue LED to create a white LED. Our proof-of-concept LED achieves high photometric performance as it possesses a color rendering index of 91.3, luminous efficacy of optical radiation > 300 lm/W-opt, and correlated color temperature of ca. 7000 K. We believe that additive jet printing technique will pave the way for a ubiquitous use of these PNCs in light-emitting devices in the near future.
