In this work, we explore the effect of B-site doping on the optoelectronic properties of CsPbX3 NCs (X = Br, Cl). First, the Pb2+ ions in the pristine CsPbBr3 NC are partially substituted by Mn2+ ions. The alkaline earth metal strontium is then doped on both pristine and the Mn2+-substituted NCs. We found that a small percentage of Sr2+ doping remarkably improves the photoluminescence quantum yield of CsPbBr3 and Mn2+-state emission in Mn2+:CsPb(Br,Cl)(3) NCs. Perovskite NC film/ poly(methyl methacrylate) composites with all four NC variants were used in a white light-emitting diode (WLED), where Sr2+ doping increased the luminous efficiency of the WLED by similar to 4.7%. We attribute this performance enhancement to a reduced defect density and an attenuated microstrain in the local NC structure.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Tribocorrosion-Resistant Ti40nb-Tin Composites Havingtio(2)-Based Nanotubular Surfaces(American Chemical Society, 2022) Çaha, İhsan; Alves, Alexandra Cruz; Chirico, Caterina; Pinto, Ana Maria; Tsipas, Sophia; Gordo, Elena; Toptan, FatihA novel multifunctional material was developed byhard TiN particle reinforcement addition to a beta-type Ti40Nb alloy,followed by surface functionalization, yielding the formation of ananotubular layer. Corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviors wereinvestigated in a phosphate-buffered saline solution at bodytemperature. The results revealed that the Ti40Nb-TiNcomposites presented similaripassandE(i=0)values together withrelatively similarRoxandCox. However, its tribocorrosion resistancedrastically improved (wear volume is almost 15 times lower than anunreinforced alloy) as a consequence of the load-carrying effectgiven by the reinforcement phases. The corrosion and tribocorro-sion behaviors were further improved through surface functionaliza-tion as observed by significantly loweripassand higherRoxvalues andalmost undetectable wear volume loss from tribocorrosion tests dueto the formation of a well-adhered anatase-rutile TiO2-based nanotubular layer.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6L2[gaxfa1–xpbi3]pbi4 (0 ≤ X ≤ 1) Ruddlesden–popper Perovskite Nanocrystals for Solar Cells and Light-Emitting Diodes(American Chemical Society, 2022) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Tunç, İlknur; Balcı, SinanThe main challenges to overcome for colloidal 2D Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) organo-lead iodide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are phase instability and low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, we demonstrate colloidal synthesis of guanidinium (GA)-L2[GAPbI3]PbI4, formamidinium (FA)-L2[FAPbI3]PbI4, and GA and FA alloyed L2[GA0.5FA0.5PbI3]PbI4 NCs without using polar or high boiling point nonpolar solvents. Importantly, we show that optical properties and phase stability of L2[APbI3]PbI4 NCs can be affectively tuned by alloying with guanidinium and formamidinium cations. Additionally, the band gap of NCs can be rapidly engineered by bromide ion exchange in L2[GAxFA1–xPbI3]PbI4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) NCs. Our approach produces a stable dispersion of L2[FAPbI3]PbI4 NCs with 12.6% PLQY that is at least three times higher than the previously reported PLQY in the nanocrystals. Furthermore, L2[GAPbI3]PbI4 and L2[GA0.5FA0.5PbI3]PbI4 NC films exhibit improved ambient stability over 10 days, which is significantly higher than L2[FAPbI3]PbI4 NC films, which transform to an undesired 1D phase within 6 days. The colloidally synthesized guanidinium- and formamidinium-based 2D RP organo-lead iodide perovskite NCs with improved stability and high PLQY demonstrated in this study may find applications in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. Therefore, large A-site cation-alloyed 2D RP perovskite NCs may provide a new way to rationalize high-performance and stable perovskite solar cells and light-emitting diodes.
