Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite (PS) derivatives, with general formula ABX3, have attracted enormous attention due to their outstanding properties that make them suitable for the development of high performing optoelectronic devices. In the last years, photovoltaic solar cells based on bulk PS layers with efficiency values over 22% have been produced. Besides its success in the photovoltaics field, a new generation of photodetectors, lasers, and in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that use bulk PS as the active semiconductor layer are being currently studied. However, the preparation of PS based nanoparticles that show extremely high fluorescence quantum yields (Φf ≈ 90%) has been considered a significant breakthrough in the field. The PS based quantum dots (PS-QD) show tunable electro-optical properties depending on the particle size and composition, and exceptionally narrow emission spectra. Therefore, PS-QDs are considered excellent candidates for the development of high efficiency, low-cost, wide gamut and high purity color displays. In this work we show the synthesis and characterization of PS-QDs and their application for the development of high performance LEDs through solution-processing methods.
