We have investigated the photoluminescence (PL) and photoconductivity of lead halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbBr3) films modified with different mixed cellulose esters (CEs). It was shown that the absorbance and PL spectra of CH3NH3PbBr3 : CE films contain contributions of both the CH3NH3PbBr3 and CE with the dominant contribution to the PL from perovskite component. The dependences of the integral PL intensities of the CH3NH3PbBr3 : CE films on the optical excitation power turned out to be sublinear. This indicates that exciton recombination, as well as recombination via impurity levels, occur in CH3NH3PbBr3 : CE films at high excitation power levels. The conductivity of CH3NH3PbBr3 : CE films at 300 K increases up to ~90 times when illuminated by a solar simulator, and this effect is environmentally stable due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between CE and the lead halide perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3. It is expected that appropriate selection of CE and optimization of CE inclusion will improve the optoelectronic properties and stability of composite films based on lead halide perovskite-CE composites.

Inorganic lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are an exciting class of luminescent materials with high defect tolerance and broad spectral tunability, but such NCs are vulnerable to degradation under ambient conditions. Here, we report a class of modular zwitterion-functionalized isopropyl methacrylate polymers designed to stabilize a wide variety of perovskite NCs of different compositions, while also enabling processing in green solvents. Specifically, we report polymers in which the zwitterion spacing is tuned to accommodate the different lattice parameters of CsPb(Cl<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>Br<i><sub>x</sub></i>)<sub>3</sub> and CsPbI<sub>3</sub> NCs, and we report partially fluorinated polymers prepared to accommodate the needs of infrared-emitting NCs. We show that as-synthesized CsPbBr<sub>3</sub>, CsPbI<sub>3</sub>, and Yb<sup>3+</sup>:CsPbCl<sub>3</sub> NCs are easily transferred into these zwitterionic polymers <i>via</i> a simple ligand-exchange procedure. These NC/polymer composites were then cast into thin films that showed substantially improved photoluminescence (PL) and stability compared with more conventional NC/polymer films. Specifically, CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> and CsPbI<sub>3</sub> NCs in films of their appropriately designed polymers had PL quantum yields of ~90% and ~80%, respectively. PL quantum yields decreased under continuous illumination, but self-healed completely after dark storage. We also found that all the NC compositions studied here maintain their PL quantum yields in NC/polymer composite films even after 1 year of ambient storage. These encouraging results demonstrate the utility of such modular zwitterion-functionalized polymers for hosting specific perovskite NCs, potentially opening avenues for robust new photonic applications of this important class of NCs.
