Exploring Energy Transfer in a Metal/Perovskite Nanocrystal Antenna to Drive Photocatalysis

Raffaella Buonsanti, Mounir Driss Mensi, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris

The use of all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) in photocatalytic systems has been limited because of their instability in polar solvents. Encapsulation of PeNCs in inorganic or polymeric matrices has been shown to be effective in overcoming such ...

Persistent enhancement of exciton diffusivity in CsPbBr3 nanocrystal solids

Seryio Saris

In semiconductors, exciton or charge carrier diffusivity is typically described as an inherent material property. Here, we show that the transport of excitons among CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) depends markedly on how recently those NCs were occup ...

Optimizing the Atomic Layer Deposition of Alumina on Perovskite Nanocrystal Films by Using O-2 As a Molecular Probe

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris

Encapsulation methods have shown to be effective in imparting improved stability to metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal oxides is one of the promising approaches for such encapsulation, yet better control on t ...

Universal Oxide Shell Growth Enables in Situ Structural Studies of Perovskite Nanocrystals during the Anion Exchange Reaction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris, Michal Stanislaw Strach

The ability to tune thin oxide coatings by wet-chemistry is desirable for many applications, yet it remains a key synthetic challenge. In this work, we introduce a general colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) synthesis to grow an alumina shell with tu ...

CsPbBr3 QD/AlOx inorganic nanocomposites with exceptional stability in water, light and heat

Raffaella Buonsanti, Emad Oveisi, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris

Herein, the assembly of CsPbBr3 QD/AlOx inorganic nanocomposites, by using atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the growth of the amorphous alumina matrix (AlOx), is described as a novel protection scheme for such QDs. The nucleation and growth of AlOx on the ...
