Future generations of solid-state lighting (SSL) will prioritize the development of innovative luminescent materials with superior characteristics. The phosphors converted into white light-emitting diodes (white LEDs) often have a blue-green cavity. Cyan-emitting phosphor fills the spectral gap and produces "full-visible-spectrum lighting.

PeNCs doped with Yb ions, known for their near-infrared (NIR) emission properties, have gained significant attention due to their potential applications. However, these materials still face challenges with weak NIR electroluminescence (EL) emission and low external quantum efficiency (EQE), primarily due to undesired resonance energy transfer (RET) occurring between the host and Yb ions, which adversely affects their emission efficiency and device performance.

Nevertheless, the absence of lasting stability under continues energization, is still a major hurdle to the widespread use of NCs in commercial applications. In particular, the reactivity of red-emitting perovskites to environmental surroundings is more sensitive than that of their green counterparts.

The analysis of the experimental results suggests that the partial substitution of Ba ions by smaller Ca ions alters the distribution of the Eu luminescence center among the three available Ba sites in the host lattice, which enables the emission to be efficiently tuned from blue to blue-green-yellow region. The incorporation of Mn ions resulted in a red light emission at around 618 nm, through energy transfer from Eu to Mn ions via dipole-dipole interactions.
