Tb3+, Eu3+ Co-doped CsPbBr3 QDs Glass with Highly Stable and Luminous Adjustable for White LEDs

Abstract

Herein, we have introduced rare-earth cations Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ into CsPbBr₃ QDs glass by conventional melt-quenching. Rare-earth cations like Tb³⁺ emit green light, causing the main peak of bromide lead cesium to exhibit some redshift, owing to the energy transfer between CsPbBr₃ and Tb³⁺. To achieve adjustable light, Eu³⁺ emits red light, which was doped in this glass with different proportions to solve the problem of red deficiency. More importantly, Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ co-doped CsPbBr₃ QDs glass shows a series of desirable characteristics due to the energy transfer between Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺. Interestingly, the blue light radiated by blue chip can excite Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺, and CsPbBr₃ perovskite effectively. We acquired high-performance white light-emitting diodes with color-rendering index, color coordinate transformation, and luminous efficiency of 85.7, 4945 K, and 63.21 lm/W under the current of 20 mA. This acquired Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ co-doped CsPbBr₃ QDs glass proved the significant feasibility of luminescent materials in solid warm light source.
