Multi-Functional Ethylene-vinyl Acetate Copolymer Flexible Composite Film Embedded with Indium Acetate-Passivated...

In recent years, all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite quantum dots have emerged as promising candidates for various optoelectronic applications, including sensors, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells, owing to their exceptional photoelectric properties. However, their commercial utilization has been limited by stability issues. In this study, we addressed this challenge by passivating the surface defects of CsPbBr₃ quantum dots using indium acetate, a metal-organic compound. The resulting CsPbBr₃ quantum dots exhibited not only high photoluminescence intensity, but also a remarkably narrow half-peak width of 19 nm. Furthermore, by embedding the CsPbBr₃ quantum dots in ethylene-vinyl acetate, we achieved stretchability and significantly enhanced stability while preserving the original luminous intensity. The resulting composite film demonstrated the potential to improve the power conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells and enabled the creation of excellent white light-emitting diodes with coordinates of (0.33, 0.31). This co-passivation strategy, involving surface passivation and polymer packaging, provides a new idea for the practical application of CsPbBr₃ quantum dots.
