Abstract
Due to the superiority of low cost, easy manufacture, and tunable light emission owing to the diversity of compositions and dimensionalities, the metal halides have appeared as a promising class of semiconductors. Nevertheless, the toxicity problem along with inherent instability of Pb-based metal halides greatly limits their large-scale applications. Based on this situation, it is necessary to develop eco-friendly materials, which could simultaneously maintain the excellent optoelectronic properties of lead materials. In this Letter, the one-dimensional Cu + -alloyed Cs2AgI3 has been successfully synthesized. An intense blue emission located at 469 nm with a large Stokes shift was observed. Density functional theory calculation indicated that the Cu+ ions could effectively modulate the density of state population, which was the key factor drastically boosting the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). This kind of highly efficient metal halide may overcome the bottlenecks of toxicity and poor efficiency issues of blue emission and will have a promising prospect in the optoelectronic fields.
