The ratio of lead to tin in the inorganic perovskite quantum dots can be adjusted by controlling the molar ratio between the lead halide and the tin halide.

Next, in step S130, the second mixed solution is subjected to a third heating process under vacuum to obtain a third mixed solution. In the present embodiment, the heating temperature of the third heating process is from 20 ° C to 160 ° C, and the heating time is from 1 minute to 90 minutes. In one embodiment, the heating temperature of the third process is, for example, 120 ° C, and the heating time is 1 hour. The water in the second mixed solution can be removed during the third heating process.

Then, in step S140, a mixed solution of oleic acid and oleylamine (OAm) is added to the third mixed solution under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a fourth mixed solution. In the present embodiment, the volume ratio of oleic acid to oleylamine in the mixed solution of oleic acid and oleylamine is, for example, 1:1.

Thereafter, step S150 is performed to perform a fourth heating process on the fourth mixed solution to obtain a second precursor solution. In the present embodiment, the heating temperature of the fourth heating process is, for example, 140 ° C to 200 ° C.

Then, in step S160, the lanthanum oleate precursor is added to the second precursor solution to obtain an inorganic perovskite quantum dot.

In this embodiment, after step S160, the mixed solution of the lanthanum oleate precursor and the second precursor solution may be further cooled to 80 ° C to 200 ° C for 1 minute to 150 minutes. The centrifugation was then carried out and the prepared inorganic perovskite quantum dots were dispersed in a hexane solvent. For example, a mixed solution of the lanthanum oleate precursor and the second precursor solution can be cooled to 120 ° C for 1 hour.

Next, the characteristics of the inorganic perovskite quantum dots produced by the preparation method of the inorganic perovskite quantum dot formulation of the present invention will be described by way of experimental examples.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as limited by the experimental examples shown below.

[Preparation of inorganic perovskite quantum dots]

Example 1

The preparation procedure of the inorganic perovskite quantum dots is as follows: 0.814 g of cesium carbonate, 40 mL of octadecene and 2.5 mL of oleic acid were added to a 100 mL three-necked flask. It was heated under vacuum at 120 ° C for 1 hour to remove water. The mixture was heated to 150 ° C under a nitrogen atmosphere until the cesium carbonate was reacted with oleic acid to obtain a cerium oleate precursor.

5 mL of octadecene, 0.063 mmol of tin bromide and 0.126 mmol of lead bromide were added to a 25 mL three-necked flask, and 2 mL of trioctylphosphine (TOP) was added as a dispersing agent. It was heated under vacuum at 120 ° C for 1 hour to remove water. 0.5 mL of oleylamine and 0.5 mL of oleic acid were injected into a three-necked flask under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the solution was clarified, the temperature was raised to 140 ° C to 200 ° C. Next, 0.4 ml of the lanthanum oleate precursor was quickly injected into the three-necked flask and waited for 5 seconds, then cooled to 120 ° C, and after 1 hour, it was centrifuged and the inorganic perovskite quantum dots were dispersed in a hexane solvent.

Example 2

Inorganic perovskite quantum dots were prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1, except that 0.94 mmol of tin bromide and 0.94 mmol of lead bromide were used instead of 0.063 mmol of tin bromide and 0.126 mmol in Example 1. Lead bromide.

Comparative example 1

Inorganic perovskite quantum dots were prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1, except that 0.126 mmol of tin bromide and 0.063 mmol of lead bromide were used instead of 0.063 mmol of tin bromide and 0.126 mmol in Example 1. Lead bromide.

Comparative example 2

Inorganic perovskite quantum dots were prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1, except that 0.188 mmol of lead bromide was used instead of 0.063 mmol of tin bromide and 0.126 mmol of lead bromide in Example 1.

The inorganic perovskite quantum dots prepared in Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma with Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) to determine The elemental composition of the inorganic perovskite quantum dots is shown in Table 1.

[Table 1]

2 is an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Examples and Comparative Examples. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Examples 1 and 2 have a cubic structure of a single phase. The inorganic perovskite quantum dot of Comparative Example 1 has a higher amount of tin doping (n=0.034), so the inorganic perovskite quantum dot of Comparative Example 1 has a positive cube other than a single phase of a single cube. There is also a heterophase structure of Cs ₂ SnBr ₆ .

3 is a graph of selected area electron diffraction (SAED) of inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Examples and Comparative Examples. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that in addition to the structure of a positive cube having a plane spacing of 5.8 Å (i.e., d ₁₀₀ = 5.8 Å), there is a heterophase structure of Cs ₂ SnBr ₆ (d ₁₁₃ = 3.24 Å). .

4 and 5 are X-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) diagrams of the examples, comparative examples, and standards. In the present embodiment, the standard 1 is PbO and the standard 2 is PbO ₂ . That is, Standard 1 can represent divalent lead ions, while Standard 2 can represent tetravalent lead ions. Further, the standard 3 is SnO, and the standard 4 is SnO ₂ . That is, Standard 3 can represent divalent tin ions, while Standard 4 can represent tetravalent tin ions. As can be seen from Figures 4 and 5, the lead in the inorganic perovskite quantum dots of the present invention is a divalent lead ion, and the tin in the inorganic perovskite quantum dot is a tetravalent tin ion.

Fig. 6 is an electron micrograph of inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Examples and Comparative Examples.

As can be seen from Fig. 6, the inorganic perovskite quantum dot of Example 1 has a cubic appearance structure. As the doping ratio of tin increases, the uniformity of inorganic perovskite quantum dots decreases. That is to say, when the molar ratio of tin in the inorganic perovskite quantum dot is 0.034 or more, a hetero phase is generated.

Fig. 7 is an absorption spectrum of inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Examples and Comparative Examples. Fig. 8 is a light emission spectrum of inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Examples and Comparative Examples.

As can be seen from FIG. 8, the inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Example 1 and Example 2 have a light-emitting wavelength of about 510 nm to 513 nm. The inorganic perovskite quantum dot of Comparative Example 1 has a high tin doping and a light-emitting wavelength of about 503, which exhibits a blue shift phenomenon.

The light-emitting wavelength, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and quantum efficiency of the inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 are shown in Table 2.

[Table 2]

As is clear from the results of Table 2, the quantum efficiency of the inorganic-doped perovskite quantum dots (i.e., Comparative Example 2) which was not doped with tin was 45%. The quantum efficiency of the light tin doped inorganic perovskite quantum dots (ie, Example 1 and Example 2) is significantly higher than that of the undoped tin inorganic perovskite quantum dots (ie, Comparative Example 2). The quantum efficiency of the inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Example 1 can be as high as 83%. On the other hand, the inorganic perovskite quantum dots of Comparative Example 1 have too high tin doping, causing crystal defects and further deteriorating quantum efficiency.

In summary, the inorganic perovskite quantum dot formulation prepared by the present invention has a quantum efficiency higher than that of an inorganic perovskite quantum dot doped with tin because of its mild tin doping.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and any one of ordinary skill in the art can make some changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
