Bulk Mn2+ Doped 1D Hybrid Lead Halide Perovskite with Highly Efficient, Tunable and Stable Broadband Light Emissions

Mn²⁺ doped colloidal three-dimensional (3D) lead halide perovskite nanocrystal (PNC) has attracted intensive research attention; however, the low exciton binding energy and fatal optical instability of 3D PNC seriously hinder the optoelectronic application. Therefore, it remains significant to explore new stable host perovskite with strongly bound exciton to realize more desirable luminescent property. In this work, we utilized bulk one-dimensional (1D) hybrid perovskite of [AEP]PbBr₅ ⋅ H₂ O (AEP=N-aminoethylpiperazine) as structural platform to rationally optimize the luminescent property by a controllable Mn²⁺ doping strategy. Significantly, the series of Mn²⁺ -doped 1D [AEP]PbBr₅ ⋅ H₂ O show enhanced energy transfer efficiency from the strongly bound excitons of host material to 3d electrons of Mn²⁺ ions, resulting in tunable broadband light emissions from weak yellow to strong red spectral range with highest photoluminescence quantum yield up to 28.41 %. More importantly, these Mn²⁺ -doped 1D perovskites display ultrahigh structural and optical stabilities in humid atmosphere, water and high temperature exceeding the conventional 3D PNC. Combined highly efficient, tunable and stable broadband light emissions enable Mn²⁺ -doped 1D perovskite as excellent down-converting phosphor showcasing the potential application in white light emitting diode. This work not only provides a profound understanding of low-dimensional perovskites but also opens a new way to rationally design high-performance broadband light emitting perovskites for solid-state lighting and displaying devices.
