One-Dimensional Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Double Perovskites with Near-Unity Photoluminescence Quantum Yield and Advanced Multifunctional Applications

Lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent optoelectronic properties, but the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) organic-inorganic hybrid halide DPs with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is still challenging to date. Herein, we successfully prepared high-quality 1D hybrid (TMA)(2)NaInCl6 (TMA is tetramethylammonium) DPs by two synthetic routes and near-unity PLQY was achieved by incorporating Sb3+ ions into (TMA)(2)NaInCl6, which is much higher than that of 3D all-inorganic DPs. Temperature-dependent PL spectroscopic characterizations indicated that strong electron-phonon coupling existed in the excited state in doped system. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the incorporation of Sb3+ ions modulated the distribution of density of states and 24-fold enhancing in transition probability thereby significantly improved the PLQY. Our study presented new physical insights for in-depth understanding photophysical mechanisms and should be very important for regulating the optical performance of perovskite materials.
