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: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Plasmon-Induced Spectral Tunability of Perovskite Nanowires(Elsevier, 2021) Gökbulut, Belkıs; Topçu, Gökhan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, Mehmet NaciIn this paper, plasmon-assisted spectral tunability in random media, composed of Perovskite (CsPbBr3) nanowires surrounded by Au nanoparticle clusters in polystyrene matrix, is achieved. The interaction between the surface plasmons and the quantum sources is observed to generate photoluminescence from the higher excited state energy levels of the excited semiconductor nanowires, which results in a blueshifted fluorescence emission of 50 nm. The localized surface plasmon properties are also determined to be tuned by plasmonic pumping of the quantum sources at different resonant frequencies. Thus, the first observation of the tunable blueshifted fluorescence emission of the semiconductor nanocrystals surrounded by plasmonic nanoparticle aggregates is achieved. The dramatic changes in the spectral profiles of the fluorescent nanowires are attributed to be due to the fast dynamics surface enhanced fluorescence mechanism.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Color-Tunable All-Inorganic Cspbbr3 Perovskites Nanoplatelet Films for Photovoltaic Devices(American Chemical Society, 2019) Özcan, Mehmet; Özen, Sercan; Topçu, Gökhan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanHerein, we demonstrate a novel coating approach to fabricate CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelet film with heat-free process via electrospraying from precursor solution. A detailed study is carried out to determine the effect of various parameters such as ligand concentration, electric field, flow rate, etc. on the optical properties. By controlling the volume ratios of the oleylamine (OAm) and oleic acid (OA), the coalescing and thickness of the resulting nanoplatelets can be readily tuned that results in control over emission in the range of 100 nm without any antisolvent crystallization or heating processes. The varying electrical field and flow rate was found as inefficient on the emission characteristics of the films. In addition, the crystal films were obtained under ambient conditions on the ITO coated glass surfaces as in the desired pattern. As a result, we demonstrated a facile and reproducible way of synthesizing and coating of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelets which is suitable for large-scale production. In this method, the ability of tuning the degree of quantum confinement for perovskite nanoplatelets is promising approach for the one-step fabrication of crystal films that may enable the use in optoelectronics.Article Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 85Cspbbr3 Perovskites: Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on Water-Assisted Transition From Nanowire Formation To Degradation(American Physical Society, 2018) Akbalı, Barış; Topçu, Gökhan; Güner, Tuğrul; Özcan, Mehmet; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanRecent advances in colloidal synthesis methods have led to an increased research focus on halide perovskites. Due to the highly ionic crystal structure of perovskite materials, a stability issue pops up, especially against polar solvents such as water. In this study, we investigate water-driven structural evolution of CsPbBr3 by performing experiments and state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. It is seen that while an optical image shows the gradual degradation of the yellowish CsPbBr3 structure under daylight, UV illumination reveals that the degradation of crystals takes place in two steps: transition from a blue-emitting to green-emitting structure and and then a transition from a green-emitting phase to complete degradation. We found that as-synthesized CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs) emit blue light under a 254 nm UV source. Before the degradation, first, CsPbBr3 NWs undergo a water-driven structural transition to form large bundles. It is also seen that formation of such bundles provides longer-term environmental stability. In addition theoretical calculations revealed the strength of the interaction of water molecules with ligands and surfaces of CsPbBr3 and provide an atomistic-level explanation to a transition from ligand-covered NWs to bundle formation. Further interaction of green-light-emitting bundles with water causes complete degradation of CsPbBr3 and the photoluminescence signal is entirely quenched. Moreover, Raman and x-ray-diffraction measurements revealed that completely degraded regions are decomposed to PbBr2 and CsBr precursors. We believe that the findings of this study may provide further insight into the degradation mechanism of CsPbBr3 perovskite by water.
