Abstract
Metal-halide perovskites exhibit bright and sharp luminescence, with optoelectronic properties that can be tuned over a wide range through solution processing [1,2]. By making perovskite nanocrystals anisotropic, we can achieve both exciton fine structure splitting as well as control over the horizontal transition dipole moment. In this talk, I will discuss our recent works focussed on self assembling these nanoplatelets, and tuning their orientation. Through control over the solvent evaporation rate, we tune the orientation of alpha-phase CsPbI3 from face-down to edge-up. The former ensures maximum outcoupling in the normal direction, and we achieve pure-red nanoplatelet LEDs with external quantum efficiency reaching up to 13% when incorporating phosphonic acid passivation [3]. On the other hand, by self-assembling the nanoplatelets edge-up, we achieved polarized light emission directly from the LEDs without requiring a photonic grating [4]. The degree of polarisation (DOP) achieved exceeded 70%, which is comparable to the DOP of single particles [4]. Furthermore, we alloy FA into the A-site of these perovskites to improve their stability [5]. Through detailed 1H-NMR measurements and computations, we show that FA incorporation improves stability by binding more strongly to the organic ligands coordinated to the surface through H-bonding [5]. Finally, we extend these findings to CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelets, revealing how improved control over their orientation could be achieved by tuning the length and shape of organic backbone of the ligands used [6].
