CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots-based Janus membrane with multifunction of luminescence, magnetism and aeolotropic electroconductivity

Lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are promising semiconductors for next-generation photoelectric devices. However, the development of perovskite QDs-based multifunctional materials still needs to be addressed in order to further advance the application of perovskite QDs. Herein, a successful synthesis of Janus microfibers array Janus membrane (JMAJM) with up-down structure and multifunction of luminescence, magnetism and electroconductivity is firstly achieved based on CsPbBr3 QDs through a parallel electrospinning. JMAJM comprises up-down two layers tightly bonded together. The up-layer of JMAJM is luminescence/magnetism Janus microfibers array (L/M-JMAJM) constructed by [CsPbBr3/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)]//[CoFe2O4/PMMA] Janus microfibers as building elements. The down-layer of JMAJM is luminescence/electroconductivity Janus microfibers array (L/E-JMAJM) fabricated by [CsPbBr3/PMMA]//[polyaniline (PANI)/PMMA] Janus microfibers as building elements. Two independent microcosmic regions are designed and realized in a Janus microfiber, confining luminescence with magnetic or conductive substances into their respective regions, thus minimizing adverse effects of other dark-colored functional substances on the fluorescence of CsPbBr3 QDs. This peculiar Janus microfiber enables the effective separation and high integration of CsPbBr3 QDs with other functional substances. The up-down structure of JMAJM ensures a high integration of luminescence, magnetism and conductivity. Meanwhile, JMAJM addresses the environmental instability of CsPbBr3 QDs while simultaneously endows perovskite QDs-based materials with additional functions to realize multifunction. Under ultraviolet excitation, fluorescence characteristics of the CsPbBr3 QDs in JMAJM are maintained, exhibiting a vibrant green emission at 517 nm. Meanwhile, JMAJM achieves a maximum saturation magnetization of 20.32 emu·g−1, high conductance of 10-2 S and aeolotropic electroconductivity degree of 107. The combination of micro-partition with macro-partition in JMAJM receives superior concurrent luminescence-magnetic-conductive multifunction. This work provides a novel idea and strategy for advancing perovskite QDs-based multifunctional materials.
