Abstract
Colloidal nanoplatelets, quasi-two-dimensional quantum wells, have recently been introduced as colloidal semiconductor materials with the narrowest known photoluminescence line width (∼10 nm). Unfortunately, these materials have not been shown to have continuously tunable emission but rather emit at discrete wavelengths that depend strictly on atomic-layer thickness. Herein, we report a new synthesis approach that overcomes this issue: by alloying CdSe colloidal nanoplatelets with CdS, we finely tune the emission spectrum while still leveraging atomic-scale thickness control. We proceed to demonstrate light-emitting diodes with sub-bandgap turn-on voltages (2.1 V for a device emitting at 2.4 eV) and the narrowest electroluminescence spectrum (FWHM ∼12.5 nm) reported for colloidal semiconductor LEDs.
