Reducing the dimensions of lead halide perovskites down to the nanoparticle (NP) level can further expand the acknowledged potential of this material for optoelectronic applications. One example is their use in light emitting devices as a promising route to improve their performance. [1] A limitation of these NP is the presence of photoluminescence (PL) intermittency which lowers its quantum efficiency and could compromise its applicability. Such PL blinking has been observed in lead halide perovskites of different nature and morphology and its precise origin has not yet been clarified.
In this work we have studied the PL temporal evolution of crystalline CH3NH3PbBr3 NPs having an average size of 40nm, well above the Bohr’s exciton radius for this material and thus far from the quantum confinement regime. The NPs present a PL which oscillates between different intensity levels when illuminated over a period of several minutes under continuous wave illumination. Contrary to inorganic quantum dots where such intermittency takes place as a sucesion of on/off states, multiple PL levels are observed for the perovsktie NPs.
In order to understand such PL intermittency we have exposed the NPs to different atmospheres. We find that the PL intermittency remains upon changes in the surrounding atmosphere though the higher and lower PL levels dominate when the NPs are exposed to O2 and N2 respectively. Based on these findings and previous ones dealing with the emission of the bulk material [2] we propose a mechanism for the PL intermittency in which an interplay between photoinduced trap creation/annihilation takes place as a consequence of the interaction between the photoexcited NP and the atmosphere.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
