Simultaneously improved photoluminescence, stability, and carrier transport of perovskite nanocrystals by post-synthetic perfluorobutanesulfonic acid treatment.

We report a post-synthetic treatment method based on perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBA) to ameliorate the photophysical performance of perovskite nanocrystals. By virtue of the PFBA treatment, both the photoluminescence efficiency and stability of perovskite quantum dot-based colloidal solutions and the electrical conductivity of their close-packed films are simultaneously improved.
