全无机铯铅溴（CsPbBr3）纳米晶（NCs）因具备近1的光致发光量子产率、窄色纯发射及优异的缺陷耐受性等独特性能，已成为下一代光电子技术领域的新兴半导体。尽管这类NCs的尺寸相关光学特性已被广泛报道，但混合离子-电子输运的复杂性仍未得到充分探索。本研究通过精心设计的瞬态电流与空间电荷限制电流测量，解耦离子与电子输运动力学，对尺寸相关的电荷输运进行了全面分析。在薄膜中采用尺寸范围为5.6 nm至11.3 nm的NCs，我们对量子限域效应及相关合成化学有了全面理解。与量子限域导致带隙展宽的普遍认知相反，我们的结果表明，最小尺寸的NCs展现出最优异的输运特性，其证据为空穴输运的活化能最低（空穴活化能为78 meV），且空位介导的离子迁移势垒最高（离子活化能为370 meV）。本研究为钙钛矿基高效量子器件开辟了新路径，证明在强量子限域区域中，辅以精心调控的化学计量，可实现更优异的电荷输运。
英文摘要
All-inorganic cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) nanocrystals (NCs) have established themselves as an emerging semiconductor for next-generation optoelectronic technologies due to their unique combination of properties, such as near unity photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow color pure emission, and exceptional defect tolerance. Although size-dependent optical signatures of these NCs are well reported, the complexity of mixed ionic-electronic transport remains largely unexplored. In this study, we provide a comprehensive analysis of size-dependent charge transport by decoupling ionic and electronic transport dynamics through carefully designed transient current and space charge limited current measurements. By employing NCs of different sizes ranging from 5.6 nm to 11.3 nm in thin films, we provide a comprehensive understanding of quantum confinement effects and related synthetic chemistry. Contrary to popular beliefs of quantum confinement and band gap broadening, our results demonstrate that the smallest NCs exhibit the most efficient transport characteristics, evidenced by the lowest activation energy (hole activation energy = 78 meV) for hole transport and the highest barrier for vacancy-mediated ion migration (ion activation energy = 370 meV). This work paves a way forward for perovskite-based efficient quantum devices, by demonstrating that moving into a strong quantum confinement regime, a superior charge transport can be facilitated, when supported by carefully tailored stoichiometry.
