Excitation-Dependent Tunable White Light of ns² Ions Doped Rb₂SnCl₆ Vacancy Ordered Double Perovskite

Abstract

Single-matrix white light-emitting diodes are still a challenge. Achieving tunable white light emission from lead-free perovskites attracts much attention. Herein, nanoscale Rb₂SnCl₆ (RSC) vacancy ordered double perovskite were synthesized by an optimized precipitation method. Further, using ns² ions (Bi³⁺, Te⁴⁺, and Sb³⁺) doped RSC vacancy ordered double perovskite to obtain broadband blue, yellow-green, and orange-red emission. The color temperature adjustable high-quality white light emission based on the codoping strategy is obtained by controlling the doping ratio of Bi³⁺ and Te⁴⁺. Additionally, the white light-emitting diodes encapsulated by this single matrix white luminescent material exhibit excellent stability. Combined with theoretical calculations, it is elucidated that these high-efficiency emissions are not only derived from the unique electronic transition of ns² ions but also related to the energy band properties and the crystal field. This work shows that ns² ions doped RSC vacancy ordered double perovskite can meet the needs of different luminous colors and color temperature tunable white light emission. Meanwhile, it is a strong competitor to replace the lead-based perovskite.
