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: 12Citation - Scopus: 11Long-Time Stable Colloidal Zn-Ag Quantum Dots With Tunable Midgap-Involved Emission(AIP Publishing, 2021-02-11) Sabzevari, Zahra; Sahraei, Reza; Jawhar, Nawzad Nadhim; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugun, Evren; Soheyli, EhsanQuaternary Zn-Ag-In-S (ZAIS) quantum dots (QDs) with efficient, tunable, and stable photoluminescence (PL) emission were prepared via a simple, effective, and low-cost reflux method. The structural analysis revealed the dominance of the quantum confinement effect. The calculated PL emission quantum yield was enhanced from 8.2% to 28.7% with experimental parameters indicating their marked influence on the PL emission properties of the final product. Particularly, it was found that by varying the precursors' feeding ratio, tunable emission from green to red was achieved. A set of direct and indirect pieces of evidence such as the broad-band emission spectrum (FWHM>100nm), large Stokes shift more than 120nm, and predominantly a biexponentially long-lived decay profile with an average lifetime of about 366ns were observed, showing the contribution of midgap localized energy levels in the recombination process. These data were obtained independently on the experimental condition used, which confirmed that this is mostly an intrinsic electronic property of quaternary In-based QDs. Finally, to ensure the stability of QDs in terms of colloidal and optical emission, their emission ability was evaluated after 26 months of storage. Colloidal QDs were still luminescent with strong yellowish-orange color with emission efficiency of similar to 20.3% after 26 months. The combination of synthesis simplicity, compositional non-toxicity, PL emission superiority (strong, tunable, stable, and long lifetime emission), and colloidal stabilities confirms that the present ZAIS QDs are promising candidates for a wide range of applications in biomedicine, anticounterfeiting, and optoelectronics.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Light-Controlled Electrostatic Self-Assembly of Quantum Dots(Amer Chemical Soc, 2025-04-11) Akrema; Phul, Ruby; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Senel, Zeynep; Erdem, TalhaElectrostatic self-assembly is one of the important self-assembly mechanisms that found use in optoelectronics. Although this method enables realizing unconventional architectures, producing complicated architectures in large areas requires local control over the self-assembly process. One of the ways to achieve this control is to provide enough kinetic energy to the self-assembling nanoparticles so that they can escape electrostatic attraction. We hypothesize that this energy can be delivered to the nanoparticles by treating them with light that can be absorbed by the particles. Here, we test this idea to tailor the electrostatic self-assembly of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) using a laser. Employing fluorescence and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate that the QDs are not attached to the substrate in regions where they are exposed to light while they are coated in the absence of optical excitation. We further conduct theoretical analysis to show that elevated temperatures indeed allow the QDs to escape the electrostatic attraction of the charged polymers on the surface. We also demonstrate that increasing the temperature during the coating process without irradiating the sample gives similar results as the case when the sample was irradiated. Finally, we fabricate an uncoated region on the self-assembled QD film with dimensions of similar to 200 mu m x 0.5 cm to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach to control the bottom-up self-assembly. We believe that our results may pave the way for a cost-effective and sustainable approach for the fabrication of nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Highly Luminescent ZnCdTeS Nanocrystals With Wide Spectral Tunability for Efficient Color-Conversion White-Light(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021-09-28) Soheyli, Ehsan; Zargoush, Sirous; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Sahraei, Reza; Mutlugun, EvrenCdTe-based semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) with size and composition-dependent efficient bandgap properties are historically mature nanomaterials for colloidal optoelectronic applications. In this work, we present the highly luminescent quaternary ZnCdTeS NCs with tunable emission across a wide visible spectrum from green to red spectral range. Prepared via a direct aqueous-based approach, a second capping agent of trisodium citrate (TSC) was used to enhance the photoluminescence (PL) emission efficiency, the chemical stability, and to spectrally widen the coverage of the emission spectra of ZnCdTeS NCs. Adding TCS created a remarkable blue shift from 572 nm in the absence of TSC, to 548 nm. On the other hand, upon optimization of experimental parameters, superior ZnCdTeS NCs with a narrow PL profile typically less than 50 nm, the high quantum efficiency of 76%, and tunable emission from 515-to-645 nm were synthesized in an aqueous solvent. The keynotes were the superior and reproducible luminescent properties for the core only NCs, without shell and using relatively low reaction temperatures. It was shown that in the suggested synthesis method, the high efficiency emitted color of ZnCdTeS NCs can be easily controlled from 515-to-650 nm with excellent stability against harsh conditions. The biexponential decay profiles of samples prepared at different reaction temperatures demonstrated that the average recombination lifetime is below 40 ns and increases with the growth of the ZnCdTeS NCs. Results reveal that the excitonic energy levels have the main role in the recombination process. Finally, to demonstrate the functional advantages of the prepared NCs in optoelectronics, the NCs were used to fabricate color-conversion white light-emitting diodes. The color coordinate of the device is recorded as (0.4951, 0.3647) with CRI of 91, CCT of 1954 K, and LER of 251 lm W-1 by employing only two distinct emitters for color conversion.
