Lead oxide enables lead volatilization pollution inhibition and phase purity modulation in perovskite quantum dots embedded borosilicate glass

Embedding all-inorganic cesium lead halide CsPbX₃ (X=Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) PQDs into glass is one of the most effective strategies to improve their optical, thermal and chemical stabilities. Herein, by using PbO instead of PbBr₂ as the lead source, it is effective to lower the melting temperature and reduce the volatilization pollution from lead halide raw materials. Thus, a high-purity CsPbBr₃ PQDs embedded glass with 71.5 % PLQY was successfully prepared. The thermal stability, and photo-aging properties were also improved. By simply changing the halogen element, the red and blue CsPbX₃ PQDs embedded glasses were successfully prepared. The white LED fabricated by coating obtained green/red CsPbX₃ PQDs embedded glass on a blue chip displays high color gamut of 121.9 % NTSC standard and >91.1 % Rec. 2020 standard, which embodies the great potential of PQDs embedded glass in lighting and display fields.
