- Abstract
Lead halide perovskite have attracted world-wide attention regarding their serious hazards on ecological environment and human health. To improve both the emission intensity and stability of Cs
2 AgInCl6 , this study explores using SiO2 to structurally adjust Cs2 AgInCl6 . Note that including SiO2 changed the growth style and crystal morphology of Cs2 AgInCl6 from an octahedron to a truncated octahedron. After structural adjustment, the unit cells scattered, and the absorption limit broke. Moreover, SiO2 was demonstrated to passivate the material's surface to form an anti-oxidation protective layer. Consequently, the photoluminescence emission intensity increased by 181.5% and the stability of Cs2 AgInCl6 improved by 83.11%. This work provides a methodology and reference for future improvements to the luminescence of Cs2 AgInCl6 . Furthermore, a novel double-emission phenomenon (λex = 365 nm: λem ≈ 580 nm; λex = 325 nm: λem ≈ 505 nm) of Cs2 AgInCl6 at cryogenic temperatures (20 K) was discovered; this phenomenon explains the shoulder emission problem of 400-450 nm at room temperature and clarifies the luminescence mechanism of Cs2 AgInCl6 ., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
