Area of Science:

• Materials Science
• Quantum Dot Technology
• Optoelectronics

Background:

• Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr₃) quantum rods (QRs) are promising for optoelectronic applications due to their tunable emission.
• Achieving high-quality, stable deep-blue emitting CsPbBr₃ QRs remains a challenge.
• Existing passivation strategies often struggle with long-term stability.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop an inorganic ligand passivation strategy for high-quality deep-blue CsPbBr₃ quantum rods.
• To investigate the performance of CsPbBr₃ QRs in down-conversion white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).

Main Methods:

• Inorganic ligand passivation of CsPbBr₃ quantum rods.
• Fabrication of down-conversion WLEDs using the passivated QRs.
• Stability testing of WLEDs under operational conditions.

Main Results:

• Successful synthesis of high-quality deep-blue CsPbBr₃ QRs.
• Fabricated WLEDs demonstrated excellent stability, with an estimated T₉₅ of 133.6 days at 100 cd m^-2.
• The inorganic ligand strategy significantly enhances the operational lifetime.

Conclusions:

• The inorganic ligand passivation is an effective method for producing stable deep-blue CsPbBr₃ QRs.
• This approach paves the way for durable and efficient deep-blue optoelectronic devices.
• The developed CsPbBr₃ QRs show great potential for next-generation lighting applications.
