  • Patent number: 11479718
    Abstract: A method of the present disclosure for producing methylammonium lead halide perovskite quantum dots includes providing a Pb-oleic acid solution containing a Pb source that is soluble in oleic acid, oleic acid, and a non-polar solvent, providing a methylammonium-oleic acid solution containing methylammonium acetate and oleic acid, providing a reaction solution of tetrabutylammonium halide and oleylamine, and mixing the Pb-oleic acid solution, the methylammonium-oleic acid solution, and the reaction solution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, THE UNIVERSITY OF ELECTRO-COMMUNICATIONS
    Inventors: Taizo Masuda, Qing Shen, Chao Ding, Yaohong Zhang, Feng Liu
  • Patent number: 11208592
    Abstract: There is provided a method of preparing formamidinium lead halide perovskite quantum dots having a photoluminescence quantum yield higher than before. The disclosed method comprises steps of: preparing a lead halide solution by dissolving lead halide (II), oleic acid and oleylamine in a nonpolar solvent; preparing a formamidinium solution by dissolving formamidine acetate salt and oleic acid in a nonpolar solvent; mixing the formamidinium solution and the lead halide solution to form quantum dots; and centrifuging the mixed solution to obtain sediment; dispersing the sediment in a nonpolar solvent to prepare a crude quantum dot solution; mixing the crude quantum dot solution with methyl acetate; and centrifuging the crude quantum dot solution mixed with the methyl acetate to obtain sediment as purified quantum dots. The durable quantum dots are stably formed by injecting the lead halide solution into the formamidinium solution heated at 60° C.-90° C.
