Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate efficient light down-conversion via FRET in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) nanohole arrays, coated with green-emitting CsPbBr3 and FAPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) and near-infrared (IR) FAPbI3 NC overlayers for solid-state lighting. Patterning the InGaN MQW into nanohole arrays allows a minimum nitride–NC separation while increasing the heterointerfacial area, thus improving simultaneously the nonradiative and radiative transfer efficiencies. Detailed spectroscopic studies of steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence indicate a significant reduction in the quantum well photoluminescent decay time in the presence of NCs, accompanied by a significant concurrent increase of the NC integrated emission, providing evidence of efficient light down-conversion mediated by FRET with efficiencies as high as ∼83 ± 6% in the green and ∼74 ± 5% in the near-IR.
