6- Encapsulated Passivation of Perovskite Quantum Dot (CsPbBr3) Using a Hot-Melt Adhesive (EVA-TPR) for Enhanced Optical Stability and Efficiency
The notable photophysical characteristics of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) (CsPbBr3) are suitable for optoelectronic devices. However, the performance of PQDs is unstable because of their surface defects. One way to address the instability is to passivate PQDs using different organic (polymers, oligomers, and dendrimers) or inorganic (ZnS, PbS) materials. In this study, we performed steady-state spectroscopic investigations to measure the photoluminescence (PL), absorption (A), transmission (T), and reflectance (R) of perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr3
) and ethylene vinyl acetate/terpene phenol (1%) (EVA-TPR (1%), or EVA) copolymer/perovskite composites in thin films with a thickness of 352 ± 5 nm. EVA is highly transparent because of its large band gap; furthermore, it is inexpensive and easy to process. However, the compatibility between PQDs and EVA should be established; therefore, a series of analyses was performed to compute parameters, such as the band gap, the coefficients of absorbance and extinction, the index of refractivity, and the dielectric constant (real and imaginary parts), from the data obtained from the above investigation. Finally, the optical conductivities of the films were studied. All these analyses showed that the EVA/PQDs were more efficient and stable both physically and optically. Hence, EVA/PQDs could become copolymer/perovskite active materials suitable for optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and perovskite/polymer light-emitting diodes (PPLEDs).
