Summary

Among all-inorganic metal halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), cesium lead chloride (CsPbCl3) with its large band-gap energy is an excellent candidate for enhancement of PQD radiative pathways through incorporation of additional internal energy transfer within its exciton band gap. In this study, we introduce a post-synthetic chemistry for ultrafast metal cation doping of CsPbCl3 QDs with a high degree of tunability, using a model transition metal impurity dopant, manganese. Due to the fast nature of the post-synthetic metal cation-doping reaction, an engineered time-to-space transformation strategy is employed to unravel the kinetics and fundamental mechanism of the doping process. Using a modular microfluidic platform equipped with a translational in situ absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy probe, we propose a heterogeneous surface-doping mechanism through a vacancy-assisted metal cation migration. The developed in-flow doping strategy can open new avenues for on-demand optoelectronic properties tuning and scalable precision synthesis of high-quality metal cation-doped PQDs.}, number={7}, journal={MATTER}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Bateni, Fazel and Epps, Robert W. and Abdel-latif, Kameel and Dargis, Rokas and Han, Suyong and Volk, Amanda A. and Ramezani, Mahdi and Cai, Tong and Chen, Ou and Abolhasani, Milad}, year={2021}, month={Jul}, pages={2429–2447} } @article{abdel-latif_epps_bateni_han_reyes_abolhasani_2021, title={Self-Driven Multistep Quantum Dot Synthesis Enabled by Autonomous Robotic Experimentation in Flow}, volume={3}, ISSN={["2640-4567"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1002/aisy.202000245}, DOI={10.1002/aisy.202000245}, abstractNote={Identifying the optimal formulation of emerging inorganic lead halide perovskite quantum dots (LHP QDs) with their vast colloidal synthesis universe and multiple synthesis/postsynthesis processing parameters is a challenging undertaking for material‐ and time‐intensive, batch synthesis strategies. Herein, a modular microfluidic synthesis strategy, integrated with an artificial intelligence (AI)‐guided decision‐making agent for intelligent navigation through the complex colloidal synthesis universe of LHP QDs with 10 individually controlled synthesis parameters and an accessible parameter space exceeding 2 × 107, is introduced. Utilizing the developed autonomous microfluidic experimentation strategy within a global learning framework, the optimal formulation of LHP QDs is rapidly identified through a two‐step colloidal synthesis and postsynthesis halide exchange reaction, for 10 different emission colors in less than 40 min per desired peak emission energy. Using two in‐series microfluidic reactors enables continuous bandgap engineering of LHP QDs via in‐line halide exchange reactions without the need for an intermediate washing step. Using an inert gas within a three‐phase flow format enables successful, self‐synchronized continuous delivery of halide salt precursor into moving droplets containing LHP QDs, resulting in accelerated closed‐loop formulation optimization and end‐to‐end continuous manufacturing of LHP QDs with desired optoelectronic properties.}, number={2}, journal={ADVANCED INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Abdel-Latif, Kameel and Epps, Robert W. and Bateni, Fazel and Han, Suyong and Reyes, Kristofer G. and Abolhasani, Milad}, year={2021}, month={Feb} }
