FAPbBr₃@PbBr(OH) phosphor with high stability for anti-counterfeiting application via water induction

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals have become a very widely used as semiconductor light-emitting materials. However, perovskite nanocrystals face stability challenges, which is a key factor hindering their application. In this paper, by introducing water into the synthesis of formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr₃) perovskite, ultra-stable FAPbBr₃@PbBr(OH) fluorescent material was prepared. The photoluminescence intensity of the material after the addition of water increased 2.9 times compared with that before the addition of water. The excellent green fluorescence emission was still maintained after four cycles of wash-dry treatment. Meanwhile, it also exhibits good ultraviolet and thermal stability. The above enhanced performance of FAPbBr₃nanocrystals is attributed the protection of PbBr(OH). In addition, the prepared material can be used in anti-counterfeit patterns. The anti-counterfeit patterns have good color rendering and the luminous color has a high dependence on temperature. Both of these features make it very valuable for various fluorescent anti-counterfeiting labels.
