    Efficient generation of emissive many-body correlations in copper-doped colloidal quantum wells
    (Cell Press, 2022-09-21) Yu, Junhong; Sharma, Manoj; Li, Mingjie; Liu, Baiquan; Hernández-Martínez, Pedro Ludwig; Delikanli, Savaş; Sharma, Ashma; Altintas, Yemliha; Hettiarachchi, Chathuranga; Sum, Tze Chien; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Dang, Cuong
    Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) provide an appealing platform to achieve emissive many-body correlations for novel optoelectronic devices, given that they act as hosts for strong carrier Coulomb interactions and present suppressed Auger recombination. However, the demonstrated high-order excitonic emission in CQWs requires ultrafast pumping with high excitation levels and can only be spectrally resolved at the single-particle level under cryogenic conditions. Here, through systematic investigation using static power-dependent emission spectroscopy and transient carrier dynamics, we show that Cu-doped CdSe CQWs exhibit continuous-wave-pumped high-order excitonic emission at room temperature with a large binding energy of ∼64 meV. We attribute this unique behavior to dopant excitons in which the ultralong lifetime and the highly localized wavefunction facilitate the formation of many-body correlations. The spectrally resolved high-order excitonic emission generated at power levels compatible with solar irradiation and electrical injection might pave the way for novel solution-processed solid-state devices. © 2022 The Authors

    Management of electroluminescence from silver-doped colloidal quantum well light-emitting diodes
    (Cell Press, 2022-05-18) Liu, Baiquan; Sharma, Manoj; Yu, Junhong; Wang, Lin; Shendre, Sushant; Sharma, Ashma; Izmir, Merve; Delikanlı, Savaş; Altıntaş, Yemliha; Dang, Cuong; Sun, Handong; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
    Impurity doping is a promising strategy to afford colloidal nanocrystals exhibiting novel optical, catalytic, and electronic characteristics. However, some significant properties of noble metal-doped nanocrystals (NMD-NCs) remain unknown. Here, we report the electroluminescence (EL) from NMD-NCs. By doping silver impurity into cadmium selenide colloidal quantum wells (CQWs), dual-emission emitters are achieved and a light-emitting diode (LED) with a luminance of 1,339 cd m−2 is reported. In addition, the proposed energy gap engineering to manage exciton recombination is a feasible scheme for tunable EL emissions (e.g., the dopant emission is tuned from 606 to 761 nm). Furthermore, an organic-inorganic hybrid white LED based on CQWs is realized, reaching a color rendering index of 82. Moreover, flexible CQW-LEDs are reported. The findings present a step to unveil the EL property of NMD-NCs, which can be extended to other noble metal impurities, and pave the pathway for NMD-NCs as a class of electronic materials for EL applications. © 2022 The Authors
