Europium-Doped Lead-Free Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 Perovskite Quantum Dots and Ultrasensitive Cu 2+ Detection
Abstract
Pollution triggered by highly toxic heavy metal ions has become of worldwide critical concern; thus, it is urgent to develop an eco-friendly and nontoxic fluorescence probe for metal ions sensing. The lead-free all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) could be ideal candidates but are limited by their low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). In this work, we successfully fabricated Eu 3+ -doped lead-free Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 PeQDs employing a modified ligand-assisted reprecipitation method. The Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9:Eu 3+ PeQDs demonstrate multicolor emissions including the exciton emission of the PeQDs and the 5 D 0 – 7 F J transition for Eu 3+ ion. Compared to the bare Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 PeQDs, the Eu 3+ -doped PeQDs display highly improved PLQY from 18% to ∼42.4% and excellent water stability. Finally, nontoxic and highly efficient Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9:Eu 3+ PeQDs were employed as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for Cu 2+ ion detection in water, which demonstrates a good linear range from 5 nM to 3 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 and a low detection limit of 10 nM. Our work not only provides a new strategy to improve the optical performance of lead-free PeQDs but also expands their applications for metal ions sensing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
