This study enhances air stability in cesium tin iodide (CsSnI3) near-infrared emitters using dual-ion substitution. This breakthrough enables stable perovskite devices for applications like night vision and medical imaging.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Solid-State Chemistry
- Optoelectronics
Background:
- All-inorganic CsSnI3 is a promising near-infrared emitter.
- Its structural stability is limited by a low tolerance factor, causing phase transitions in air.
Purpose of the Study:
- To enhance the structural stability and air tolerance of CsSnI3 perovskite materials.
- To develop stable near-infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for practical applications.
Main Methods:
- Developed a dual-ion substitution strategy by replacing Cs+ with guanidinium (GA+) and I- with thiocyanate (SCN-).
- Investigated the structural and chemical mechanisms stabilizing the B-γ phase using component engineering.
- Fabricated and characterized near-infrared LEDs incorporating the modified CsSnI3.
Main Results:
- Optimized the tolerance factor (t) of CsSnI3, achieving stabilization of the B-γ phase for over 200 minutes in ambient air.
- Demonstrated that SCN- suppresses Sn2+ oxidation and GA+ inhibits V_I formation through H-bonding.
- Achieved a peak external quantum efficiency of 6.01% and an operating lifetime of 2500 minutes for the developed LEDs.
Conclusions:
- Dual-ion substitution effectively enhances the air stability and performance of CsSnI3 near-infrared emitters.
- The stabilized CsSnI3-based LEDs show potential for practical applications in night vision, medical imaging, and nondestructive testing.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
