Chiral Helical Polymer/Perovskite Hybrid Nanofibers with Intense Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Chiral perovskites with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) performance have attracted tremendous attention. This contribution reports a convenient and universal strategy for constructing chiral helical polymer/perovskite hybrid nanofibers with outstanding CPL properties. The hybrid nanofibers are prepared through a one-step electrospinning method in which chiral helical polyacetylenes, perovskite nanocrystals, and polyacrylonitrile serve as a handed-selective fluorescence filter, fluorescent source, and electrospinning matrix, respectively. Specially, perovskite nanocrystals are in situ formed during the electrospinning process, which avoids the tedious process for preparing and purifying perovskites. The prepared hybrid nanofibers all exhibit good long-time stability in air, owing to the effective protection effect of polymer matrix. More importantly, intense CPL emissions with high dissymmetry factor up to 10^-2 level are obtained in the hybrid nanofibers. Furthermore, the emission color of CPL can be easily tuned by adjusting the precursors of perovskites. This work provides an efficient technique toward various kinds of CPL-active perovskite nanomaterials for both scientific research and future practical applications.
