We developed a unique and efficient method to encapsulate quantum dots within amphiphilic polymer micelles using the flash nanoprecipitation technique and various micromixers (multi-inlets vortex mixer, MIVM, and confined impinging-jet mixer, CIJM).

ABSTRACTMicro- or nano-particles encapsulating hydrophobic quantum dots were prepared by the emulsion technique. Films containing quantum dots were also prepared by film casting methods. Quantum dots without hydrophilic coating were directly mixed with polymer solution to prepared extremely stable films or particles that do not phase-separate with time. The surface of the particles or films could be modified to have different hydrophilicity and/or functional groups. Particles with 1.5 ± 0.16 μm and 320 ± 26 nm in diameters and films of 300 μm in thickness were prepared. NIH 3T3 and EMT-6 were culture on the films containing quantum dots for 8 – 20 h. Compared to the control, quantum dot were delivered directly and efficiently into the cells without toxicity. When implanted near tumor cells in Balb/C mice, quantum dots migrated from the films into the tumor cells for at least 3 days. Considering that the quantum dot dispersion in aqueous media is relatively unstable and difficult to handle, our stable particles or films containing hydrophobic quantum dots can become versatile probes for biological applications.

In this study, adding CsPbI3 quantum dots to organic perovskite methylamine lead triiodide (CH3NH3PbI3) to form a doped perovskite film filmed by different temperatures was found to effectively reduce the formation of unsaturated metal Pb. Doping a small amount of CsPbI3 quantum dots could enhance thermal stability and improve surface defects. The electron mobility of the doped film was 2.5 times higher than the pristine film. This was a major breakthrough for inorganic quantum dot doped organic perovskite thin films.

AbstractAll-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots have received substantial research interest for photovoltaic applications because of higher efficiency compared to solar cells using other quantum dots materials and the various exciting properties that perovskites have to offer. These quantum dot devices also exhibit good mechanical stability amongst various thin-film photovoltaic technologies. We demonstrate higher mechanical endurance of quantum dot films compared to bulk thin film and highlight the importance of further research on high-performance and flexible optoelectronic devices using nanoscale grains as an advantage. Specifically, we develop a hybrid interfacial architecture consisting of CsPbI3 quantum dot/PCBM heterojunction, enabling an energy cascade for efficient charge transfer and mechanical adhesion. The champion CsPbI3 quantum dot solar cell has an efficiency of 15.1% (stabilized power output of 14.61%), which is among the highest report to date. Building on this strategy, we further demonstrate a highest efficiency of 12.3% in flexible quantum dot photovoltaics.
