Influence of UV irradiation on the luminescence properties of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots and CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots/PVDF composite film—for white LED application

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been widely investigated for their excellent properties such as high color purity in displays, tunable emission wavelength, and high photoluminescence quantum yield. For device applications, improving the stability is an area of interest. In this study, the effects of UV irradiation on the structural and luminescence properties of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (CPB QDs) excited at 365 nm were investigated. To overcome the effects of UV irradiation, a CPB QDs/PVDF composite flexible film was prepared. It exhibits high structural and optical stability under UV irradiation and emits a highly intense green color. The emission wavelength and intensity were observed for three years, and the stability of the temperature-dependent emission intensity up to 400 K has been reported. In addition, it is stable in water. A white LED, fabricated by integrating a blue LED with CPB QDs/PVDF composite film and red phosphor, produces bright natural white light [(CIE x, CIE y) = (0.3704, 0.3611), and CCT = 4177 K] with a color gamut area coverage of 86.4% of the standard NTSC (1953) color space. .
