Environmentally friendly CsPbBr3 QDs multicomponent glass with super-stability for optoelectronic devices and up-converted lasing

Ultra-stable CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) multicomponent glass with high transmittance was prepared by melt-quenching heat treatment. The average diameter of the CsPbBr3 QDs was similar to 1.96 nm. The resulting glass displayed a high exciton binding energy of 362 +/- 18 meV. Notably, these glass-encapsulated materials exhibited excellent resistance to heat, light, and water, superior to that of previously reported perovskite-based materials, and underwent an extremely low rate of Pb leaching during water immersion. Based on the glass, a high-performance white light-emitting diode (WLED) device was fabricated with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.3156, 0.3326) and color gamut of similar to 113 % National Television Standards Committee (NTSC). The CsPbBr3 QDs glass without rare earth elements further acted as an optical gain medium, realizing up-conversion lasing with 980-nm laser excitation for the first time. The reversible linear fluorescence response indicates that the glass could be a potential candidate for temperature sensors.
