Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ Co-doped CsPbBr₃ QDs Glass with Highly Stable and Luminous Adjustable for White LEDs

Abstract

Herein, we have introduced rare-earth cations Tb3+ and Eu3+ into CsPbBr3 QDs glass by conventional melt-quenching. Rare-earth cations like Tb3+ emit green light, causing the main peak of bromide lead cesium to exhibit some redshift, owing to the energy transfer between CsPbBr3 and Tb3+. To achieve adjustable light, Eu3+ emits red light, which was doped in this glass with different proportions to solve the problem of red deficiency. More importantly, Tb3+ and Eu3+ co-doped CsPbBr3 QDs glass shows a series of desirable characteristics due to the energy transfer between Tb3+ and Eu3+. Interestingly, the blue light radiated by blue chip can excite Tb3+, Eu3+, and CsPbBr3 perovskite effectively. We acquired high-performance white light-emitting diodes with color-rendering index, color coordinate transformation, and luminous efficiency of 85.7, 4945 K, and 63.21 lm/W under the current of 20 mA. This acquired Tb3+, Eu3+ co-doped CsPbBr3 QDs glass proved the significant feasibility of luminescent materials in solid warm light source.
