(Elsevier, 2022) Yu, Junhong; Sharma, Manoj; Li, Mingjie; Liu, Baiquan; Hernandez-Martinez, Pedro Ludwig; Delikanli, Savas; Sharma, Ashma; Altintas, Yemliha; Hettiarachchi, Chathuranga; Sum, Tze Chien; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Dang, Cuong; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Altintas, Yemliha
Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) provide an appealing platform to achieve emissive many-body correlations for novel optoelectronic devices, given that they act as hosts for strong carrier Coulomb interactions and present suppressed Auger recombination. However, the demonstrated high-order excitonic emission in CQWs requires ultrafast pumping with high excitation levels and can only be spec-trally resolved at the single-particle level under cryogenic condi-tions. Here, through systematic investigation using static power -dependent emission spectroscopy and transient carrier dynamics, we show that Cu-doped CdSe CQWs exhibit continuous-wave -pumped high-order excitonic emission at room temperature with a large binding energy of X64 meV. We attribute this unique behavior to dopant excitons in which the ultralong lifetime and the highly localized wavefunction facilitate the formation of many-body corre-lations. The spectrally resolved high-order excitonic emission gener-ated at power levels compatible with solar irradiation and electrical injection might pave the way for novel solution-processed solid-state devices.

Transition metal doped colloidal nanomaterials (TMDCNMs) have recently attracted attention as promising nano-emitters due to dopant-induced properties. However, despite ample investigations on the steady-state and dynamic spectroscopy of TMDCNMs, experimental understandings of their performance in stimulated emission regimes are still elusive. Here, the optical gain properties of copper-doped CdSe colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) are systemically studied with a wide range of dopant concentration for the first time. This work demonstrates that the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold in copper-doped CQWs is a competing result between the biexciton formation, which is preferred to achieve population inversion, and the hole trapping which stymies the population inversion. An optimum amount of copper dopants enables the lowest ASE threshold of approximate to 7 mu J cm(-2), about 8-fold reduction from that in undoped CQWs (approximate to 58 mu J cm(-2)) under sub-nanosecond pulse excitation. Finally, a copper-doped CQW film embedded in a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) structure yields an ultralow lasing threshold of 4.1 mu J cm(-2). Exploiting optical gain from TMDCNMs may help to further boost the performance of colloidal-based lasers.

Impurity doping is a promising strategy to afford colloidal nanocrystals exhibiting novel optical, catalytic, and electronic characteristics. However, some significant properties of noble metal-doped nanocrystals (NMD-NCs) remain unknown. Here, we report the electroluminescence (EL) from NMD-NCs. By doping silver impurity into cadmium selenide colloidal quantum wells (CQWs), dual-emission emitters are achieved and a light-emitting diode (LED) with a luminance of 1,339 cd m−2 is reported. In addition, the proposed energy gap engineering to manage exciton recombination is a feasible scheme for tunable EL emissions (e.g., the dopant emission is tuned from 606 to 761 nm). Furthermore, an organic-inorganic hybrid white LED based on CQWs is realized, reaching a color rendering index of 82. Moreover, flexible CQW-LEDs are reported. The findings present a step to unveil the EL property of NMD-NCs, which can be extended to other noble metal impurities, and pave the pathway for NMD-NCs as a class of electronic materials for EL applications.
Record High External Quantum Efficiency of 19.2% Achieved in Light-Emitting Diodes of Colloidal Quantum Wells Enabled by Hot-Injection Shell Growth
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, POSTFACH 101161, 69451 WEINHEIM, GERMANY, 2020) Liu, Baiquan; Altintas, Yemliha; Wang, Lin; Shendre, Sushant; Sharma, Manoj; Sun, Handong; Mutlugun, Evren; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; 0000-0003-3715-5594; 0000-0002-2261-7103; 0000-0001-5215-9740; 0000-0003-1793-112X; 0000-0001-9375-7683; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Elektrik - Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü
Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) are regarded as a highly promising class of optoelectronic materials, thanks to their unique excitonic characteristics of high extinction coefficients and ultranarrow emission bandwidths. Although the exploration of CQWs in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is impressive, the performance of CQW-LEDs lags far behind other types of soft-material LEDs (e.g., organic LEDs, colloidal-quantum-dot LEDs, and perovskite LEDs). Herein, high-efficiency CQW-LEDs reaching close to the theoretical limit are reported. A key factor for this high performance is the exploitation of hot-injection shell (HIS) growth of CQWs, which enables a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), reduces nonradiative channels, ensures smooth films, and enhances the stability. Remarkably, the PLQY remains 95% in solution and 87% in film despite rigorous cleaning. Through systematically understanding their shape-, composition-, and device-engineering, the CQW-LEDs using CdSe/Cd0.25Zn0.75S core/HIS CQWs exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 19.2%. Additionally, a high luminance of 23 490 cd m(-2), extremely saturated red color with the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.715, 0.283), and stable emission are obtained. The findings indicate that HIS-grown CQWs enable high-performance solution-processed LEDs, which may pave the path for future CQW-based display and lighting technologies.

Recently, there has been tremendous interest in the synthesis and optoelectronic applications of quasi-two-dimensional colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs). Thanks to the ultranarrow emission linewidth, high-extinction coefficient, and high photostability, NPLs offer an exciting opportunity for high-performance optoelectronics. However, until now, the applications of these NPLs are limited to available discrete emission ranges, limiting the full potential of these exotic materials as efficient light emitters. Here, we introduce a detailed systematic study on the synthesis of NPLs based on the alloying mechanisms in core/shell, core/alloyed shell, alloyed core/shell, and alloyed core/alloyed shell heterostructures. Through the engineering of the band gap supported by the theoretical calculations, we carefully designed and successfully synthesized the NPL emitters with continuously tunable emission. Unlike conventional NPLs showing discrete emission, here, we present highly efficient core/shell NPLs with fine spectral tunability from green to deep-red spectra. As an important demonstration of these efficient emitters, the first-time implementation of yellow NPL light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has been reported with record device performance, including the current efficiency surpassing 18.2 cd A(-1), power efficiency reaching 14.8 lm W-1, and record luminance exceeding 46 900 cd m(-2). This fine and wide-range color tunability in the visible range from stable and efficient core/shell NPLs is expected to be extremely important for the optoelectronic applications of the family of colloidal NPL emitters.
