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 Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Tuning the Shades of Red Emission in InP/ZnSe Nanocrystals With Narrow Full Width for Fabrication of Light-Emitting Diodes(Amer Chemical Soc, 2023-10-13) Soheyli, Ehsan; Bicer, Aysenur; Ozel, Sultan Suleyman; Tiras, Kevser Sahin; Mutlugun, Evren; Sahin Tiras, KevserWhile Cd-based luminescent nanocrystals (NCs) are the most mature NCs for fabricating efficient red light-emitting diodes (LEDs), their toxicity related limitation is inevitable, making it necessary to find a promising alternative. From this point of view, multishell-coated, red-emissive InP-based NCs are excellent luminescent nanomaterials for use as an emissive layer in electroluminescent (EL) devices. However, due to the presence of oxidation states, they suffer from a wide emission spectrum, which limits their performance. This study uses tris-(dimethyl-amino)-phosphine (3DMA-P) as a low-cost aminophosphine precursor and a double HF treatment to suggest an upscaled, cost-effective, and one-pot hot-injection synthesis of purely red-emissive InP-based NCs. The InP core structures were coated with thick layers of ZnSe and ZnS shells to prevent charge delocalization and to create a narrow size distribution. The purified NCs showed an intense emission signal as narrow as 43 nm across the entire red wavelength range (626-670 nm) with an emission quantum efficiency of 74% at 632 nm. The purified samples also showed an emission quantum efficiency of 60% for far-red wavelengths of 670 nm with a narrow full width of 50 nm. The samples showed a relatively long average emission lifetime of 50-70 ns with a biexponential decay profile. To demonstrate the practical ability of the prepared NCs in optoelectronics, we fabricated a red-emissive InP-based LEDs. The best-performing device showed an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 1.16%, a luminance of 1039 cd m(-2), and a current efficiency of 0.88 cd A(-1).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.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Osmotic-Pressure Nematic Ordering in Suspensions of Laponite and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose(Amer Chemical Soc, 2020-10-12) Xu, Peicheng; Yazici, Ahmet F.; Erdem, Talha; Lekkerkerker, Henk N. W.; Mutlugun, Evren; Eiser, ErikaLaponite is a synthetic clay that is known to form gels in aqueous suspensions at low concentrations (0.01 g/cm(3)) Although it is expected to form lyotropic liquid crystals, such phases usually do not form, as a consequence of laponite's tendency to form gels at concentrations below the threshold for liquid crystal formation. Here we show that macroscopic, birefringent phases of laponite can be prepared through osmotic compression of a laponite solution by an aqueous solution of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC). We present polarization imaging studies showing how the initially dilute, isotropic laponite phase shrinks while developing typical birefringence colors between crossed polarizers. Using the MichelLevy interference charts, we were able to extract the refractive index and orientation of the laponite nanodisks in the compressed region. Our observations allow us to propose a tentative state diagram, indicating the concentration regions for which we obtain optically anisotropic gels.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Natural Wax-Stabilized Perovskite Nanocrystals as Pen-On Inks and Doughs(Amer Chemical Soc, 2022-04-19) Ocal, Sema Karabel; Kiremitler, N. Burak; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Celik, Nusret; Mutlugun, Evren; Onses, M. Serdar; Karabel Ocal, SemaPerovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are emerging luminescent materials for a wide range of technological applications. The broad adaptation of PNCs will be greatly improved by addressing their intrinsically low stability and developing processes for their assembly into 2D and 3D structures using facile approaches. Inspired by the mechanism of natural protection of leaves, this paper proposes natural carnauba wax (CW) as an encapsulation material for PNCs. The synthesis of PNCs is performed in the presence of CW, which is derived from the leaves of Copernicia prunifera palm. CW acts as a solvent and replaces the commonly used octadecene in the preparation of PNCs. The facile synthesis in CW results in PNCs with greatly improved thermal, water, and air stability. Furthermore, the thermal and mechanical properties make PNC-Wax a highly suitable solid ink for versatile processing of these materials into 2D and 3D architectures. PNC-Wax can be printed via a pen-on-paper approach by heating at modest temperatures. The rapid plasticization of PNC-Wax by mechanical agitation enables hand-shaping of the material in a manner similar to playdoughs, which would possibly enable the versatile use of this material for various applications.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Nanowire-Shaped MoS2@MoO3 Nanocomposites as a Hole Injection Layer for Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes(Amer Chemical Soc, 2022-08-01) Bastami, Nasim; Soheyli, Ehsan; Arslan, Aysenur; Sahraei, Reza; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugun, EvrenMolybdenum disulfides and molybdenum trioxides are structures that possess the potential to work as efficient charge transport layers in optoelectronic devices. In the present study, as opposed to the existing Mo-based nanostructures in flake, sheet, or spherical forms, an extremely simple and low-cost hydrothermal method is used to prepare nanowires (NWs) of MoS2@MoO3 (MSO) composites. The synthesis method includes several advantages including easy handling and processing of inexpensive precursors to reach stable MSO NWs without the need for an oxygen-free medium, which would facilitate the possibility of mass production of these nanostructures. The structural analysis confirmed the formation of MSO nanocomposites with different Mo valence states, as well as NWs of average length and diameter of 70 nm and 5 nm, respectively. In order to demonstrate their potential for optoelectronic applications, MSO NWs were blended into hole injection layers (HILs) in quantum dot-based light emitting diodes (QLEDs). Electroluminescence measurements show a substantial enhancement in both luminance (from 44,330 to 68,630 cd.m-2) and external quantum efficiency (from 1.6 to 2.3%), based on the increase in the ratio of MSO NWs from 3 to 10%. Interestingly, the addition of 10% volume of MSO NWs resulted in a remarkably smoother HIL with improved current efficiency and stability in green-emitting QLEDs. The simplicity and cost-effective features of the synthesis method along with outstanding favorable morphology demonstrated their ability to enhance the QLED performance and mark them as promising agents for optoelectronics.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Efficient Forster Resonance Energy Transfer Donors of In(Zn)P/ZnS Quantum Dots(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017-01-26) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Mutlugun, Evren; Altlntas, YemlihaWe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 49Colloidal Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes Employing Phosphorescent Small Organic Molecules as Efficient Exciton Harvesters(Amer Chemical Soc, 2014-08-04) Mutlugun, Evren; Guzelturk, Burak; Abiyasa, Agus Putu; Gao, Yuan; Sun, Xiao Wei; Demir, Hilmi VolkanNonradiative energy transfer (NRET) is an alternative excitation mechanism in colloidal quantum dot (QD) based electroluminescent devices (QLEDs). Here, we develop hybrid highly spectrally pure QLEDs that facilitate energy transfer pumping via NRET from a phosphorescent small organic molecule-codoped charge transport layer to the adjacent QDs. A partially codoped exciton funnelling electron transport layer is proposed and optimized for enhanced QLED performance while exhibiting very high color purity of 99%. These energy transfer pumped hybrid QLEDs demonstrate a 6-fold enhancement factor in the external quantum efficiency over the conventional QLED structure, in which energy transfer pumping is intrinsically weak.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 46Highly Efficient Cd-Free Alloyed Core/Shell Quantum Dots With Optimized Precursor Concentrations(Amer Chemical Soc, 2016) Altintas, Yemliha; Talpur, Mohammad Younis; Unlu, Miray; Mutlugun, EvrenThe 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.
