CsPbBr3−xIx quantum dots were precipitated in boro‐germanate glasses with various Br/I ratios by the melt‐quenching method. When the heat treatment temperature (TH) increased from 480 to 550°C, more I− entered the perovskite crystal lattice, resulting in lattice expansion, the X‐ray diffraction peaks of CsPbBr1.5I1.5 glasses shifted to small angles. The high concentration of I− entered into the perovskite crystal lattice, decreasing the bandgap. The photoluminescence (PL) peaks of CsPbBr1.5I1.5 glasses redshifted from 577 to 620 nm, the PL peaks of CsPbBrI2 glasses shifted from 614 to 636 nm, and the PL peaks of CsPbBr0.5I2.5 glasses shifted from 650 to 672 nm. As the ratio of Br/I reduced from 2.5/0.5 to 0.5/2.5, the PL lifetime of CsPbBr3−xIx glass increased from 2.08 to 74.5 ns. With the delay time from 1 to 1500 ps, the carriers gradually accumulated in the band‐edge state, and the bleaching signal intensity increased. Then more and more carriers returned to the ground state through radiative or nonradiative recombination, the bleaching signal intensity decreased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lead chalcogenide quantum dots have particular optoelectronic properties induced by the quantum confinement effects and have promising potentials towards applications in infrared spectral range. Modulation of the optoelectronic properties of lead chalcogenide quantum dots is mainly based on the thermal treatment. In this work, precipitation and optical properties of alloyed PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots in glasses are investigated. Composition, size, absorption, and photoluminescence properties of PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots are modulated by chalcogen elements in glasses and thermal treatment. By adjusting the concentration of ZnSe and ZnS in the glasses, average diameters of the PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots are tuned in the range of 8.1–16.1 nm, their absorption peak wavelengths are tuned in the range of 724–2497 nm, and photoluminescence bands are tuned in the range of 1016–2165 nm with full width at half maximum in the range of 167–517 nm. Fraction of Se in the PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots precipitated in glasses is dependent on the concentrations of ZnSe and ZnS in the glass and heat-treatment temperature. Increase in concentration of S in the glasses results in the reduction of relative fraction of Se in the PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots formed in glasses. More importantly, high heat-treatment temperature promotes the enrichment of Se in PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots, and Se fraction in PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots increases from 0.69 to 0.89, from 0.53 to 0.85, from 0.47 to 0.79, and from 0.45 to 0.76 for those precipitated in glasses with ZnSe/(ZnSe+ZnS) molar ratios of 0.545, 0.375, 0.286, and 0.231, respectively. Increase in ZnSe/(ZnSe+ZnS) molar ratios in glasses also leads to reduction in diameter of PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots formed in glasses. These alloyed PbSe x S 1-x quantum dots also exhibit improved photoluminescence quantum yields and enhanced resistance to thermal quenching of photoluminescence.
