Confining Mn2+-Doped Lead Halide Perovskite in Zeolite-Y as Ultrastable Orange-Red Phosphor Composites for White Light-Emitting Diodes

CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as competitive candidate luminescent materials in the photoelectric fields due to their superior luminescence properties. However, the major drawback such as poor resistance to temperature, moisture, and irradiation of light, especially for the red QDs with I –, hinders their practical applications. Herein, we synthesized Mn 2+ -doped CsPbCl 3 embedded in the cage of zeolite-Y as a new orange-red phosphor for the white light-emitting diode (WLED). The composites have significantly improved resistance to both elevated temperature and water over the bare Mn 2+ -doped QDs. The former exhibits little degradation whereas the latter shows apparent decline upon the irradiation of lights in the orange LED devices, which are fabricated by employing each material as a color-conversion phosphor coated on a 365 nm UV chip. A WLED is also achieved with a 365 nm UV chip coated with a CsPb(Cl 0.5,Br 0.5 ) 3 –Y blue phosphor and a CsPb 0.75 Mn 0.25 Cl 3 –Y orange phosphor. The device possesses a Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage coordinate of (0.34, 0.36), a correlated color temperature of 5336 K and a color rendering index of 81.
