Abstract:
I-III-VI type semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their environmental friendly nature and large-scale tunable emission. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of full-spectrum (470 to 614 nm) Ag-In-Ga-Zn-S (AIGZS) NCs by precisely regulating the In/Ga ratios using a facile one-pot method. Intriguingly, the photoluminescence (PL) peak width exhibits a continuous narrowing trend with extended reaction time, ultimately reaching a full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 34 nm for green AIGZS NCs. Furthermore, the exciton relaxation dynamics of AIGZS NCs were systematically investigated using time-resolved photoluminescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Remarkably, we successfully fabricated blue, green, and red quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), forecasting the potential of AIGZS NCs with high color purity for applications in full-spectrum QLEDs.
