Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Fully Inorganic Colloidal CsPbBr3 Perovskite Nanocrystals with Zn-Doping and Metal Oxide Encapsulation for Luminescent Display Panels(Amer Chemical Soc, 2025-11-07) Khorasani, Azam; Soheyli, Ehsan; Mutlugun, EvrenPerovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) are emerging as exceptional materials due to their high photoluminescence quantum yield, tunable bandgap, and excellent charge carrier mobility, enabling a wide range of colors and promising applications in optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Despite their advantages, PeNCs face stability challenges caused by environmental factors. In the presented study, a facile and versatile colloidal hot-injection method was used to apply the beneficial aspects of Zn-doping in cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) PeNCs. The uniform platelet-shaped Zn-doped CsPbBr3 PeNCs were prepared by doping with a 0.1 molar ratio of zinc-oleate solution in the perovskite precursors during synthesis. Then, zinc-oxide (ZnO) and nickel-oxide (NiO) coating layers were utilized separately to effectively reduce surface defects, encapsulate PeNCs, and improve their stability issues. To fabricate the coated PeNCs with metal oxides, zinc acetate and nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate solutions were prepared individually and added to the crude perovskite solutions. The quantum yield of Zn-doped CsPbBr3 (CsPb1-xZnxBr3) PeNCs coated with ZnO increased from 50% for bare CsPbBr3 to over 84%, while NiO-coated PeNCs exhibited a higher yield of 90% both of which remarkably enhanced the emission stability. Moreover, NiO coatings represented a proper protection against surface imperfections and improved resistance to external stimuli. The combination of facile/effective preparation method, excellent emission efficiency, and reliable emission stability nominates the prepared colloidal composite for display pixels, detectors, and lasers.Article Enhanced Photoluminescence via Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticles and Improved Stability of Perovskite Nanocrystals in Macroporous (Polydimethylsiloxane) PDMS Matrices(Springer, 2025-10-09) Ocal, Sema Karabel; Tiras, Kevser Sahin; Onses, M. Serdar; Mutlugun, EvrenIn this work, we report a simple and cost-effective method for improving both the environmental stability and photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQY) of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). Through their embedding in a specially designed macroporous polydimethylsiloxane (MPDMS) matrix and incorporation of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), remarkable improvements are achieved. The resulting MPDMS@PNC composites are seen to retain near-unity quantum efficiency even after 24-h immersion in water and are observed to retain over 85% of the original efficiency even at 75 degrees C, displaying excellent thermal stability. More interestingly, by incorporating Au NPs and subjecting the material to mechanical pressure, the lifetime of the PNCs gets further increased. This is due to the more intimate spatial arrangement of Au NPs in the porous matrix, enhancing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) coupling and thereby enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) of the PNCs. In general, this approach offers a scalable and robust route to designing stable, high-performance perovskite-based materials for next-generation optoelectronic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 14The Effect of Ligand Chain Length on the Optical Properties of Alloyed Core-Shell InPZnS/ZnS Quantum Dots(Elsevier Science SA, 2017-07) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, EvrenIn 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.

These nanocrsytlas consists of a semiconductor quantum dot core with engineered fluorescence, which is located in a paramagnetic iron oxide shell that acts as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Yolk-shell CdSe/ZnS@Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized via sonochemical decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)(5)) using the oleylamine (OAm) as the ligand. The sonochemical synthesis method of magnetic fluorescent NPs that can be used as MRI contrast agents provided advantages such as improved quantum efficiency and homogeneous size distributions. It has been determined that the luminescence efficiency of quantum dots decreases in coatings that can be made at high temperatures by thermal decomposition. In order to eliminate the disadvantage of elevated temperatures, the sonochemical decomposition method, which allows coating at low temperatures, has been used. With this method, yolk-shell (CdSe/ZnS@Fe2O3) nanoparticles were produced with high photoluminescence quantum efficiency and homogeneous size distributions. The synthesis magnetic fluorescent NPs optimized was determined to have the injection temperature of Fe(CO)(5) at 60 degrees C, Fe(CO)(5)/CdSe@ZnS ratio 0.7, OAm/Fe(CO)(5) volume ratio 1.43 with an oxidation time 5 min. Under these conditions, the quantum efficiency was found to be 78 %, nanoparticle sizes between 11-14 nm and r(1) value was 0.199, r(2) value was 0.518 in MRI analysis. These optically active magnetic fluorescent nanoparticles as positive contrast agents (T1 weighted) are predicted to pave the way for the future of advanced bio-imaging systems.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 13Spectrally Tunable White Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Carbon Quantum Dot-Doped Poly(N-Vinylcarbazole) Composites(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024-01-26) Sahin Tiras, Kevser; Bicer, Aysenur; Soheyli, Ehsan; Mutlugun, EvrenElectroluminescent white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) are always of great interest for emerging display applications. Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) are the newest emerging nanoscale materials that can be employed for this purpose, owing to their broad and bright light emission properties. In the present work, highly luminescent CQDs with an emission quantum yield of 60% were prepared via a colloidal solvothermal method and subsequent silica gel column chromatography. The photoluminescence (PL) peak was located at 550 nm possessing yellow emission, with a full width at half-maximum of 98 nm and a relatively long lifetime of 10.23 ns through a single-exponential recombination pathway. CQDs were employed in an electroluminescent device architecture of an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TFB/CQD:PVK/TPBi/LiF/Al structure and blended with poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) to evaluate their ability to reach white electroluminescent emission. Results confirmed a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.76% and a maximum luminescence of 774.3 cd<middle dot>m(-2). Tuning the ratio between CQDs and PVK from 1:10.25 to 1:5.75 resulted in a systematic shift in CIE x-y coordinates from 0.23-0.26 to 0.21-0.24, located close to the cool white region. The results of the present study can be considered a step forward in fabricating efficient WLEDs based on low-cost CQDs.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Solid-State Encapsulation and Color Tuning in Films of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for White Light Generation(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019-01-30) Torun, Ilker; Altintas, Yemliha; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugun, Evren; Onses, M. SerdarPerovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are highly demanding nanomaterials for solid-state lighting applications. A challenge for their exploitation in practical applications is the insufficient ambient and water stability associated with their ionic nature. Here we report a novel route for solid-state encapsulation of films of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) through vapor-phase deposition of a thin and hydrophobic layer of fluoroalkyltrichlorosilanes (FAS). High quality nanoscale crystals of CsPbBr3 were synthesized with well established colloidal methods and coated on solid substrates. The films of PNCs were then subjected to vapor of FAS for short durations of time (<60 s) in ambient atmosphere, resulting in deposition of a thin (<20 nm) hydrophobic layer. Besides providing a barrier for water and humidity, the vapor-phase deposition of FAS was accompanied by the blue shift of the emission wavelength of the PNCs. The color shift results from the partial exchange of Br with Cl anions, which emerge during the self-hydrolysis of the silane molecules. Throughout this process, we demonstrate the enhanced water stability of the films of PNCs and fine tunability of the wavelength in films from 516 nm to 488 nm. The fabrication of a white-light-emitting diode and tunability of the color coordinates with the duration of the FAS deposition were demonstrated. The rapid, scalable, and inexpensive solid-state encapsulation approach shows great promise for films of halide perovskites.Conference Object Simple, Sustainable Fabrication of Fully Solution-Processed, Transparent, Metal-Semiconductor Photodetectors Using a Surgical Blade as an Alternative to Conventional Tools(SPIE - The International Society for Optics and Photonics, 2022-05-24) Savas, Muzeyyen; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Arslan, Aysenur; Mutlugun, Evren; Erdem, Talha; Yazic, Ahmet Faruk; Erdem1, TalhaFabrication of optoelectronic devices relies on the expensive, energy-consuming conventional tools such as chemical vapor deposition, lithography, and metal evaporation. Furthermore, the films used in these devices are usually deposited at elevated temperatures and under vacuum that impose further restrictions to the device fabrication. Developing an alternative technology would contribute to the efforts on achieving a more sustainable optoelectronics technology. Keeping this focus in our focus, here we present a simple technique to fabricate visible photodetectors. These fully solution-processed and transparent metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors employ silver nanowires (Ag NW) as the transparent electrodes replacing the indium-tin oxide (ITO) commonly used in optoelectronic devices. By repeatedly spin coating Ag NWs on a glass substrate followed by the coating of ZnO nanoparticles, we obtained a highly conductive transparent electrode reaching a sheet resistance of 95 Omega/square as measured by the four-probe method. Optical spectroscopy revealed that the transmittance of the Ag NW-ZnO films was 84% at 450 nm while transmittance of the ITO films was 90% at same wavelength. Following the formation of the conductive film, we scratched it using a heated surgical blade to open a gap. The scanning electron microscope images indicate that a gap of similar to 30 mm is opened forming an insulating line. As the active layer, we drop-casted red-emitting CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) on to this gap to form a metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector. These visible QD- based photodetectors exhibited responsivities and detectivities up to 8.5 mA/W and 0.95x10(9) Jones, respectively. These proof-of-concept photodetectors show that the environmentally friendly, low- cost, and energy-saving technique presented here can be an alternative to conventional, more expensive, and energy-hungry techniques while fabricating light-harvesting devices.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Rec. 2100 Color Gamut Revelation Using Spectrally Ultranarrow Emitters(SPIE - Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2017-11-22) Genc, Sinan; Uguz, Mustafa; Yilmaz, Osman; Mutlugun, EvrenWe theoretically simulate the performance of ultranarrow emitters for the first time to achieve record high coverage for the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector BT. 2100 (Rec. 2100) and National Television System Committee (NTSC) color gamut. Our results, employing more than 130-m parameter sets, include the investigation into peak emission wavelength and full width at half maximum (FWHM) values for three primaries that show ultranarrow emitters, i.e., nanoplatelets are potentially promising materials to fully cover the Rec. 2100 color gamut. Using ultranarrow emitters having FWHM as low as 6 nm can provide the ability to attain 99.7% coverage area of the Rec. 2100 color gamut as well as increasing the NTSC triangle to 133.7% with full coverage. The parameter set that provides possibility to fully reach Rec. 2100 also has been shown to match with D65 white light by making use of the correct combination of those three primaries. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of the fourth color component on the CIE 1931 color space without sacrificing the achieved coverage percentages. The investigation into the fourth color component, cyan, is shown for the first time to enhance the Rec. 2100 gamut area to 127.7% with 99.9% coverage. The fourth color component also provides an NTSC coverage ratio of 171.5%. The investigation into the potential of emitters with ultranarrow emission bandwidth holds great promise for future display applications.

In this presented work, Mn-doped CdS thin films with high purity in composition were prepared through the chemical bath deposition technique using a nucleation-doping strategy. This work focuses on an improved chemical design to eliminate mostly ignored property of conventionally doped nanoscale thin films. The synthesis strategy was initiated by the initial formation of MnS nuclei in a colloidal depositing solution followed by injection of cadmium precursor to diffuse into the initial nuclei and play the role of host CdS matrix which was the beginning of the deposition process. Upon optimization of the PL-emission, it was revealed that relative intensity of Mn2+-related peak to the excitonic peak has significantly increased (similar to 100 times) in 80 degrees C, pH = 6, and precursor molar ratio of Cd:Mn:EDTA:S equal to 1:3:0.4:5, at deposition time of 300-min. The TRPL measurements further revealed the effective contribution of Mn-related midgap states with long-lived decay curve character, which confirms the success of the designed approach to reach internally doped thin films. It was found that the deposition temperature, amount of Cd/Mn/TA precursors, and deposition time are the most important experimental parameters in the proposed synthesis approach. Due to the versatility, generality, and colloidal advantages of this method, it can be extended to the other structures with various types of dopant agent.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 25Preparation of Highly Emissive and Reproducible Cu-In-S/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots With a Mid-Gap Emission Character(Elsevier Science SA, 2020-05) Jawhar, Nawzad Nadhim; Soheyli, Ehsan; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugun, Evren; Sahraei, RezaCopper indium sulfide (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) are one of the newest types of luminescent semiconductors with low-toxicity and earth-abundant features. The present work reports the successful aqueous synthesis of CIS/ZnS core/shell QDs using dual-stabilizing agents of N-acetyl-L-cysteine and trisodium citrate. Off-stoichiometric QDs with In-rich compositions were found to be very small and highly emissive after coating by a shell of wide bandgap ZnS. The effect of various experimental parameters was evaluated to achieve highly reproducible QDs with bright reddish emission. Results showed a significant contribution of mid-gap defect states in the recombination processes (based on the gradual increase in absorbance recorded for samples, relatively high Urbach energy, large Stokes shift, large FWHM value in PL spectra, as well as the long-lived PL decay time). In addition, the chemical stability of samples was investigated using highly oxidant H2O2 agent and results demonstrate their superior stability. The combination of low-toxicity, intense and stable emission, along with synthetic advantages demonstrates that the present aqueous-soluble and emissive QDs can be considered as an excellent bio-photonic structure suitable for different fields of biological imaging and diagnostics.
