White-emitting film of diblock copolymer micelles with perovskite nanocrystals

Perovskite nanocrystals are synthesized in diblock copolymer micelles to improve their processability and stability. The copolymer micelle approach allows fluorescence from a stretchable or flexible substrate by coating processes, and stable emission in water by protecting the nanocrystals in the micelles. Fluorescent films in three primary colors of blue, green, and red are also produced with the assistance of anion exchange reactions for perovskite nanocrystals in the micelles. Then, by stacking films in three primary colors, we are able to produce a white-emitting film of copolymer micelles containing only perovskite nanocrystals without the support of other kinds of emissive materials.
