Scale-up fabrication of perovskite quantum dots

Quantum dots, tiny semiconductor nanomaterials known for their color-tunable and highly efficient photoluminescence, have revolutionized display technologies such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and micro light-emitting diodes (Micro-LEDs). In 2023, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognized the discovery and development of quantum dots, underscoring their significance in modern technology.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are a promising class of materials distinguished by their high absorption coefficient, cost-effectiveness, ease of processing, and reduced environmental impact. Their potential for display applications has attracted considerable interest. In 2015, Professor Zhong and his team introduced a groundbreaking method for in-situ fabrication of PQDs within a polymeric matrix. The subsequent establishment of Zhijing Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. in 2016 aimed to advance the scale-up production and application of PQDs in display technologies.

After extensive efforts, the company has developed several in-situ fabrication techniques to enable large-scale manufacturing. These methods include in-situ blade coating, spray drying, extrusion, inkjet printing, and lithography. Recently, the team resolved PQD stability challenges, leading to the integration of PQDs in Skyworth's TV products. Unlike conventional quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) TVs that utilize 630 nm emissive materials, these innovations introduced deep-red emissive PQDs at 650 nm, enhancing eye care capabilities.

In January 2025, the journal Engineering published a research article titled "Spray-Drying Fabrication of Perovskite Quantum-Dot-Embedded Polymer Microspheres for Display Applications." This study highlighted the successful scale-up fabrication of PQDs, achieving a production capacity of 2000 kilograms annually. The research also demonstrated the use of PQDs in LCD backlight applications, where PQD-based optical films exhibited exceptional stability under challenging conditions. Aging tests showed brightness decay within 10% after 1000 hours at 60 C with 90% relative humidity and under 70 C conditions with 150 W/m2 455 nm blue light irradiation.

Furthermore, researchers showcased PQD-embedded polymer microspheres as efficient color converters in full-color Micro-LED displays with pixel sizes as small as 10 um. The spray-drying fabrication method provides a cost-effective solution for large-scale PQD production. These PQD-embedded polymer microspheres demonstrated remarkable long-term operational stability, making them highly competitive for use in advanced display technologies.

Solar power surpasses coal in EU for first time
Paris (AFP) Jan 23, 2025
Solar overtook coal in the European Union's electricity production in 2024, with the share of renewables rising to almost half the bloc's power sector, according to a report released Thursday. Gas generation, meanwhile, declined for the fifth year in a row and fossil-fuelled power dipped to a "historic low", climate think tank Ember said in its European Electricity Review 2025. "The European Green Deal has delivered a deep and rapid transformation of the EU power sector," the think tank said. ... read more
