The effect of NaF and ZnO on regulating the network topological structure of CsPbBr3 quantum dots-embedded sodium borosilicate glass for energy-efficient dust indicator

All-inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) exhibit substantial potential in optoelectronics, rendering them valuable materials for next-generation lighting. However, the high cost and substantial usage of Cs present challenges. This study investigates the impact of NaF and/or ZnO modifiers on the network topological structure of CsPbBr3 QDs-embedded sodium borosilicate (SBS) glass. The incorporation of NaF and ZnO not only reduces Cs consumption and energy requirements during heat treatment but also enhances the stability and optical properties of CsPbBr3 QDs. Through a combination of experimental analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we explore the changes in the SBS glass network topology induced by these modifiers. The results demonstrate that the addition of these modifiers effectively alters the topological structure of SBS glass, providing outstanding water and heat resistance for the embedded CsPbBr3 QDs. This suggests that the NaF and ZnO co-modified CsPbBr3 QDs-embedded SBS glass, with improved stability and optical characteristics, exhibits great promise for applications in optoelectronics.
