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: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Recent Advances in CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) Perovskite NCs@Glass: Structures, Characterizations, and Applications(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-04-07) Samiei, Sadaf; Lin, Jidong; Soheyli, Ehsan; Nabiyouni, Gholamreza; Chen, DaqinEncapsulation of perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) within metal oxide glasses and fabrication of PeNCs@glass composites has emerged as a transformative approach to enhance the stability and functionality of these promising luminescent materials.

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.

However, their limited stability under ambient conditions degrades quality and threatens their potential commercialization as optoelectronic devices. Various approaches are adopted to improve the stability of perovskite nanocrystals (PeNC) while maintaining their advantageous optical properties, particularly strong luminescence. Among different possible improvement strategies, encapsulation of PeNCs within the amorphous glass matrices of inorganic oxides has drawn widespread attention because it ensures high resistance against chemical corrosion and high temperature, thus enhancing their chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability with improved light-emission characteristics. In this article, two types of materials, namely all-inorganic metal halide PeNCs and amorphous oxide glasses are briefly introduced, and then the methods are reviewed to fabricate and improve the quality of PeNC@glass composites. These methods are classified into three universal categories: compositional modification, structural modification, and dual encapsulation. In the final part of this review paper, examples of applications of PeNCs@glass composites in light-emitting devices and displays, data storage and anti-counterfeiting, lasing, photodetectors and X-ray detectors, photocatalysis, optical filters, solar concentrators, and batteries are provided.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Enhanced Photoluminescence Emission Intensity and Stability of Deep Blue-Emissive (Et 3 Nh)pbbr 3 Perovskite Nanocrystals by Using Metal-Organic Frameworks(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024-08) Hemmati, Tayebeh; Naghipour, Ali; Sahraei, Reza; Soheyli, EhsanThe primary obstacle faced by researchers in the field of luminescent metal-halide perovskites is their inherent instability, prompting a shift in focus towards enhancing the stability of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). One of the promising approaches to address this challenge involves the utilization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to fabricate PNCs@MOF composites. The present study reports a facile and low-cost colloidal strategy to prepare (Et3NH)PbBr3 PNCs followed by their encapsulation within UiO-67 to enhance their photoluminescence (PL) emission stability. The PNCs and modified UiO-67 were prepared separately via simple and efficient ligandassisted reprecipitation (LARP) and hydrothermal methods, respectively. After modification of the UiO-67, the pore sizes experienced a substantial increase from 1.90 to 28.84 nm which significantly facilitated the localization of PNCs within the porous matrix. Under a full survey of experimental conditions, the resulting (Et3NH) PbBr3@UiO-67 composite exhibited a bright deep-blue emission at around 410 nm with an emission quantum yield of 52 %. The emission durability of the fabricated PNCs@MOF composites was assessed against temperature and long-time of storage, confirming the superior advantages of MOF even at elevated temperatures of up to 100 degrees C. The stable and luminous deep-blue emission displayed by the PNCs@MOF composites in this investigation, offers a promising advancement in materials development for optoelectronic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Bright Green and Blue Solid-State Emitting Carbon Dots With Optimized Photoluminescence Characteristics for Fabrication of High-Performance Light Emitting Diodes(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-09) Havasi, Nasrin; Sahraei, Reza; Soheyli, Ehsan; Lan, Yu; Lou, Qing; Houshmand, Fatemeh; Shan, Chong-XinLuminescent carbon dots (CDs) possess a range of fundamental and technological advantages, including low-cost, and scalable preparation methods, high emission efficiency, tunable electronic properties, and adaptable surface characteristics. However, aggregation-caused quench in solid-state emission of CDs has constrained their applications in luminescent solar-concentrators, and light-emitting devices. This study introduces a rapid and straightforward microwave method for producing bright blue-and green-emissive CDs, with emission peaks at 440 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Blue-CDs showed excitation-dependent feature with a biexponential decay profile and average lifetime of 6.3 ns, while the green one signified an excitation-independent photoluminescence profile with longer average lifetime of 9 ns through biexponential fitting of decay plot. Upon optimization of experimental parameters, reproducible green emission with a high efficiency of 78 % was achieved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The critical role of biurea as a nitrogen precursor was elucidated through experimental and computational investigations. Furthermore, owing to the bright solid-state emission of the synthesized CDs, they were utilized as color-converting layers in the fabrication of durable monochrome LEDs, yielding blue and yellowish-green emissions with Commission Internationale de L'E<acute accent>clairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.16, 0.10) and (0.35, 0.57), respectively. This study highlights the potential of CDs for applications in light-emitting panels.
