Effect of Size on the Luminescent Efficiency of Perovskite Nanocrystals

Perovskite colloidal nanocrystals have emerged as important new optical materials, with tunable light emission across the visible spectrum, narrow line widths for high color purity, and quantum efficiencies approaching unity. These materials can be solution processed in large volumes at low cost making them promising for optoelectronic devices. The structure of nanocrystals influences the radiative and nonradiative recombination of carriers within them through trap states and Auger recombination. To optimize the emission properties it is vital to understand the relationship between the optical emission of individual nanocrystals and their structure, size, and composition. Here, we use nano-cathodoluminescence to relate the nanoscale optical emission of individual inorganic perovskite nanocrystals to their size. This approach reveals that larger nanocrystals exhibit brighter luminescence, indicating lower nonradiative losses compared to smaller nanocrystals. We also show nanoscale color mixing with bright ...
