In this paper, highly stable violet-blue emitting ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs have been synthesized by a

novel “low temperature injection and high temperature growth” method. The resulting nearly monodis-

perse ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs exhibit excellent characteristics such as a high color saturation (typical

spectral full width at half-maximum between 12 and 20 nm), good emission tunability in the violet-blue

range of wavelengths from 400 to 455 nm, a high absolute PL quantum yield (up to 83%), and superior

chemical and photochemical stability. By employing ZnSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) as emitters

with a fully solution processable method, bright, eﬃcient, and color-stable violet Cd-free quantum dot-

based light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) with maximum luminance up to 2632 cd m

−2

and a peak EQE of

7.83% have been demonstrated successfully. Considering the factors of the photopic luminosity function,

the brightness and eﬃciency results of such violet QD-LEDs not only represent a 12-fold increase in

device eﬃciency and an extraordinary 100 times increase in luminance compared with previous Cd-free

QD-LEDs but also can be much superior to the best performance (1.7%) of their Cd-based violet counter-

parts. These results demonstrate signiﬁcant progress in short-wavelength QD-LEDs and shed light on

the acceleration of commercial application of environmentally-friendly violet QD-based displays and

lighting.

Introduction

Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted

much attention due to their unique size-dependent optical

properties which can achieve excellent spectral purity at high

optical flux. Their excellent optical properties make them

potential superstars in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and

displays.

1–7

To fully exploit the potential of QDs in these appli-

cations, researchers need to synthesize materials that

simultaneously meet the following five criteria: narrow and

symmetric emission spectra, high photoluminescence (PL)

quantum yields (QYs), high optical stability, eco-friendly

materials, and low-cost methods for mass production. Most of

the previous studies on highly emissive and color-tunable QDs

have mainly concentrated on materials containing toxic

cadmium, mercury, or lead.

8–16

For example, red light emitters

of CdSe/CdS QDs with QYs up to 90%,

green region emitters

of CdSe/ZnS/CdSZnS QDs with the best QYs of 100% and

improved photo- and chemical-stabilities,

and the QYs of

1−x

S/ZnS QDs also reached almost unity even in the

violet-blue region.

However, there are increasing concerns that

these toxic materials such as cadmium, lead, and mercury

would pose serious threats to human health and the environ-

ment, and the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous

Substances (RoHS) rules ban any consumer electronics con-

taining more than trace amounts of these materials.

The

likelihood of commercial success for quantum dot-based light-

emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) and displays will therefore be

greatly improved if the devices can be fabricated using

eco-friendly and heavy-metal-free QDs.

Most of the syntheses of non-toxic or low toxicity QDs are

now focused on I–III–VI semiconductors (such as CuInS

18–22

III–V semiconductors (such as InP),

23–26

and II–VI semi-

conductors (such as ZnSe and rela ted Cu-, Mn-doped ZnSe),

27–31

which have low-toxicity, tunable emissions in the visible-to-

near-infrared region. The current QYs for the CuInS

core/shell

QDs is up to 60%, but the emission tunability is mainly con-

fined between 540 and 650 nm.

20,21

The obtained III–V heavy-

metal-free QDs typically possess emissions from 480 to

600 nm with the highest QYs up to 70%.

QD-LEDs fabricated based on low toxicity QDs also showed

some progress. The maximum brightness utilizing I–III–VI

semiconductor QDs have reported over 1000 cd m

−2

in the

yellow-red area without the demonstration of external

quantum eﬃciency (EQE).

21,32

For those using the III–V heavy-

metal-free QDs, such as InP/ZnSeS QDs, the maximum EQE

can reach more than 3% with an electroluminescence (EL)

peak at 518 nm and show a full width at half-maximum

(FWHM) of about 64 nm.

These results demonstrate good

color tunability and competitive eﬃciencies for heavy-metal-

free QD-LEDs in the range of 510 to 630 nm, but still lack good

results on the violet-blue emission QD-LEDs due to the

absence of corresponding heavy-metal-free QD emitters. There-

fore, one of the main challenges is the development of

eﬃcient violet-blue emitters and the realization of higher

eﬃciency QD-based LEDs using heavy-metal-free QDs.

So far, for the heavy-metal-free QDs, no matter I–III–VI or

III–V QDs, all cannot obtain high QYs (>70%) and high stabi-

lity QDs in the violet-blue area, let alone high brightness and

eﬃciency of corresponding violet-blue QD-LEDs. Most recent

studies have begun to concentrate on the synthesis of wide

bandgap ZnSe QDs as potential violet-blue emitter. Our pre-

vious report showed an impressively high QY of 70%,

but the

stability of ZnSe related QDs is still unsatisfied. Previously

reported red-green and Cd-containing blue QD emitters

showed QYs of up to 90% with high stabilities,

14–16

and these

results all indicate the immediacy of the QY and stability

improvement of violet-blue ZnSe QDs. Therefore, the synthesis

of violet-blue QDs that can simultaneously satisfy high PL QYs

(>80%), narrow and symmetric emission (FWHM < 20 nm),

high stability, environmentally friendliness, and low cost is an

urgent requirement for the realization of heavy-metal-free

violet-blue and thus full-color QD-LEDs. Herein, we present a

method for the synthesis of violet-blue emitting ZnSe/ZnS

core/shell QDs that show high QYs as well as high stability.

Diﬀerent from most of the traditional nucleation at high temp-

erature/shell growth at low temperature methods, we adopt a

lower temperature injection and higher temperature growth

method for the synthesis of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs.

14–16

Nearly monodisperse ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs were syn-

thesized with high absolute PL QYs (up to 80%), high color

purity (with an FWHM of about 12–20 nm), and good color

tunability in the violet-blue range from 400 to 455 nm.

Importantly, such ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs showed very good

chemical/photochemical stability compared with previous

studies.

27,30

Furthermore, violet QD-LEDs using ZnSe/ZnS core/shell

QDs have also been successfully demonstrated with a fully

solution-processed method. Highly bright violet QD-LEDs

show a maximum luminance of 2632 cd m

−2

and a peak EQE

of 7.83%. In a sense, such brightness and eﬃciency exhibit

huge superiority to those of the best Cd-based violet-blue

QD-LEDs considering the factors of the photopic luminosity

function. These results may oﬀer a practicable platform for the

realization of heavy-metal-free QD based violet-blue and full-

color displays and lighting.

Experimental section

Chemicals

All reagents were used as received without further experi-

mental purification. Zinc oxide (ZnO, 99.99% powder), sulfur

(S, 99.98%, powder), 1-octadecene (ODE, 90%), oleic acid (OA,

90%), octanethiol (OT, 98%), zinc acetate (99.99%), dimethyl

sulphoxide (DMSO, 99.7%), tetramethylammonium hydroxide

(TMAH, 97%), and selenium (Se, 99.99%, powder) were pur-

chased from Aldrich. Chlorobenzene (analytical grade),

hexanes (analytical grade), paraﬃn oil (analytical grade), and

methanol (analytical grade) were obtained from Beijing Chemi-

cal Reagent Ltd, China.

Typical synthesis of ZnSe/ZnS with low temperature

nucleation/high temperature shell growth method

Stock solution for the Zn precursor: A mixture (20 mL in total) of

ZnO (0.488 g, 6 mmol), oleic acid (18 mmol, 5.076 g), and

14 mL paraﬃn oil was loaded in a 100 mL three-necked flask

and heated to 300 °C under nitrogen to obtain a clear solution.

Zn precursor solution was stored at 120 °C for subsequent use.

Stock solution for the Se precursor: Se (0.237 g, 3 mmol) and

30 mL of ODE were mixed in a 100 mL three-necked flask.

Under nitrogen flow and stirring, the mixture was heated to

220 °C for 180 min, and then the reaction solution was cooled

down to room temperature. Se precursor solution was stored at

50 °C for subsequent use. Synthesis of ZnSe QDs with lower

temperature and synthesis of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs with high

temperature: octanethiol as the S precursor and ligands for the

synthesis of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs: The ZnSe core was pre-

pared according to the previous literature of our group (see

ESI†).

In a typical synthesis, 2 mL Se precursor and 8 mL

paraﬃn oil were heated to 300 °C under nitrogen flow in a

100 mL flask. Next, 1.3 mL Zn precursor solution was injected

and maintained for 5 min for the formation of ZnSe core QDs

(Fig. S1† and Fig. 1a). Subsequently, the reaction temperature

was set at 320 °C without any purification steps, and then

2 mL OT mixed with 20 mL of Zn precursor was added at a rate

of 6 mL h

−1

. All the shell growth processes lasted for 4 h.

Aliquots of QDs were taken during the reaction to analyze the

development of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs (Fig. 1). After the

reaction was completed, the temperature was cooled down

to room temperature and the QDs were purified using acetone

or methanol. ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs with diﬀerent

shell growth temperatures (as shown in Fig. 3) were prepared

following the same procedures as that described above for the

synthesis of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs at 320 °C, with a range

of diﬀerent growth temperatures of 240 °C, 260 °C, 280 °C,

300 °C, and 340 °C, respectively (see ESI †). S-ODE as the

S precursor for the synthesis of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs: the syn-

thesis of ZnSe/ZnS core/shell QDs with S-ODE as the S pre-

cursor was similar to the aforementioned method, except that

octanethiol was replaced by conventional S-ODE (0.2 M) as the

S precursor.
