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: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Photoluminescent and Superhydrophobic Nanocomposites of Perovskite Nanocrystals(Elsevier, 2024-03) Ocal, Sema Karabel; Celik, Nusret; Onses, M. Serdar; Mutlugun, Evren; Karabel Ocal, SemaPerovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have found extensive utility across diverse technological applications in optoelectronics; nevertheless, their susceptibility to environmental instability poses a significant constraint on their practicality. Within this investigation, we present a novel and facile approach for the development of highly stable superhydrophobic PNCs. These engineered superhydrophobic perovskite nanocrystal composites, referred to as HSNPs@PNCs, demonstrate remarkable optoelectronic attributes, provided that their inherent instability can be effectively mitigated. HSNPs@PNCs manifest an impressive water contact angle of 172 degrees and an exceedingly low sliding angle of 1 degrees, thus showcasing their exceptional superhydrophobicity. Of particular note is the extraordinary stability exhibited by HSNPs@PNCs despite aqueous environments, thermal fluctuations, and UV exposure. Remarkably, even after a prolonged 30 -day immersion in water, this nanocomposite maintains an outstanding emission efficiency of 75 %. Furthermore, the method of application through a spray deposition technique circumvents sample size limitations, thereby amplifying their suitability for industrial applications. Moreover, this study extends the practicality of HSNPs@PNCs by enabling their homogeneous coating onto various surfaces such as glass, fabric, and aluminum, yielding luminescent superhydrophobic surfaces. This approach liberates the substrates from constraints, significantly broadening the potential spectrum of applications for these materials within diverse industrial and technological domains.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.
