    L2[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, Sinan
    The 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.

    Transition Metal Salt Promoted, Green, and High-Yield Synthesis of Silver Nanowires for Flexible Transparent Conductive Electrodes
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021) Sarısözen, Sema; Tertemiz, Necip Ayhan; Arıca, Tuğçe Aybüke; Polat, Nahit; Kocabaş, Çoşkun; Mert Balcı, Fadime; Balcı, Sinan
    Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have attracted considerable interest from both academia and industry owing to their excellent electrical, optical, and chemical properties. For large-scale synthesis of AgNWs, the polyol method involving ethylene glycol, a toxic alcohol, has been widely used. We herein report on a facile, green, high yield, transition metal salt promoted, open atmosphere method for the synthesis of high quality AgNWs in a glycerol-water mixture. We have shown that transition metal salts have a strong influence on the morphology of AgNWs. Importantly, in the presence of copper(II) chloride, AgNWs with a high aspect ratio of around 400 (length, 36 μm; diameter, 90 nm) were obtained. Additionally, for the first time, we have demonstrated AgNWs based flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) on poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) treated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate with a sheet resistance of 34 Ω/sq and transmittance of 91 % at 550 nm. The PSS layer on the PET substrate generated a highly hydrophilic surface, which boosts interaction of AgNWs with the PET surface. We envision that our results would play a significant role both in the synthesis of AgNWs with high aspect ratio and also in designing new rigid and flexible TCEs having high transmittance and low sheet resistance for applications especially in printable solar cells, organic light emitting diodes, and high performance flexible electronics.

    Seed-Mediated Synthesis of Colloidal 2d Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets
    (Wiley, 2021) Güvenç, Çetin Meriç; Balcı, Sinan
    Colloidal synthesis of two-dimensional lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets (2D LHP NPLs) with a general formula of L-2[APbX(3)](n-1)PbX4 has been widely performed by using hot-injection or ligand assisted reprecipitation methods. Herein, for the first time, we report on seed-mediated synthesis of two and three monolayers (n=2, 3) lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets without using A-site cation halide salt (AX; A=Cesium, methylammonium, formamidinium and, X=Cl, Br, I) and long chain alkylammonium halide salts (LX; L=oleylammonium, octylammonium, butylammonium and, X=Cl, Br, I). The nanocrystal seeds have been prepared by reacting lead (II) halide salt and coordinating ligands in a nonpolar solvent and then they have been reacted with cesium oleate, formamidinium oleate or methylamine. Our facile synthesis route enabling further understanding of the growth dynamics of LHP NPLs provides highly stable, monodisperse NPLs with very narrow absorption and emission linewidths (min. 68 meV), and high PLQY (max. 37.6%).
