Abstract

Metal doping offers a potent strategy for enhancing the optical properties and stability of CsPbCl3 (CPC) perovskites. While Mn doping has drawn attention to its unique attributes, it has failed to achieve the benchmarks set by CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3. To bridge this gap, a codoping approach involving earth-abundant and cost-effective FeCl2 has been explored in this study. PL emission peak intensity increased after codoping with various FeCl2 concentrations in Mn-doped CPC (Mn-CPC) nanocrystals. Fe2+ effectively enhances the Mn doping efficiency in CPC across 0.1-0.3 mmol concentrations by replacing some Pb2+ sites. The resultant Fe-codoped Mn-CPC nanocrystals display orange emission in hexane at 594-606 nm, boasting photoluminescence quantum yields up to 22-27%. Notably, codoped nanocrystals exhibit better photostability under ambient conditions and UV-light irradiation than Mn-CPC. The improved photoresponse characteristics induced by Fe2+ codoping highlight the potential of these nanocrystals for integration into UV-visible photodetectors and other optoelectronic devices. The electrochemical property of Fe ion-codoped Mn-CPC PNCs showed better photocurrent density results than Mn-CPC.
