Advanced nanomaterials show a significant improvement in certain physical or functional properties compared to conventional materials. Such advanced materials are, for example, lead halide perovskites (LHP). It is a group of hybrid organic-inorganic materials with a direct bandgap exhibiting unique optical properties. The high quantum efficiency of photoluminescence makes nanocrystals or thin films of LHP suitable candidates for the production of light-emitting diodes, solar cells and LCD displays. Their inexpensive and simple fabrication together with their unique optical properties makes LHP one of the most developed materials of the last decade. This diploma thesis aims to study the optical properties of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals using high lateral resolution methods. CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals show intense anti-Stokes photoluminescence. These nanocrystals can emit light with a lower wavelength than that of the light that causes their photoluminescence. The nanocrystals are prepared in two different ways: by evaporation or by crystallization of the precursor in a solution of dimethylformamide. The morphology, photoluminescence properties and chemical composition of individual nanocrystals are studied. Each nanocrystal is studied individually and its size, shape, photoluminescence properties and chemical compounds are determined, which leads to a deeper understanding of the anti-Stokes photoluminescence of perovskite nanocrystals.

Halide perovskite semiconductor nanocrystals have been studied a lot recently because they allow a precise control over the entire visible emission spectrum and as a result, the possibility of a variety of light-emitting applications. In this study, cesium lead bromide CsPbBr3 and cesium lead iodide CsPbI3 nanoplatelets of 3, 4 and 5 monolayers (ML) have been synthesized. The absorbance and emission of each solutions and monolayer are measured and analyzed in terms of the change in excitonic nature. The results show that the exciton peak decreases with the number of monolayers with a stronger excitonic behavior in the Bromide system in comparison to the Iodine perovskite with nearly no excitonic feature for the 5 ML system. An analysis of the apparent Stokes-shift show that it increases with the number of monolayer for CsPbBr3 in comparison with the Iodide system where it decreases. The vibrational properties were quantified with Raman spectroscopy and showed that a second signifying peak of the perovskite vibration change upon quantum confinement.

Metallhalogenid-Perowskite (MHP) haben sich als hervorragende Materialklasse im Bereich der Optoelektronik erwiesen, obwohl die Degradation der häufig verwendeten organischen Komponenten ihre Langzeitstabilität begrenzt. Um schnell stabile Alternativen zu finden, ist eine Parallelisierung des Prozesses der Materialentwicklung durch kombinatorische Synthese und Hochdurchsatzanalyse erforderlich. In dieser Arbeit wird dies durch die Entwicklung, Implementierung und Validierung zweier komplementärer Methoden für die kombinatorische Synthese realisiert. Zum einen wurde die lösungsmittelbasierte Methode des kombinatorischen Tintenstrahldrucks weiterentwickelt, indem ein neuer Algorithmus für eine verbesserte Tintenmischung bereitgestellt und validiert wurde. Zum anderen wurde die Synthese von CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y-Doppelgradientenschichten durch Co-Verdampfung erreicht. Kombinatorische Bibliotheken, die durch diese beiden Methoden hergestellt wurden, wurden für die Hochdurchsatzuntersuchung der strukturellen und optischen Eigenschaften der anorganischen CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y-MHP verwendet. Dies ermöglichte die schnelle Erstellung vollständiger Phasendiagramme für Dünnfilme des CsPb(BrxI1-x)3-Mischkristalls, die zeigen, dass die Zugabe von Br die halbleitende Perowskitphase stabilisiert und niedrigere Verarbeitungstemperaturen ermöglicht. Darüber hinaus wurden CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y-Bibliotheken mit automatisierten, kontaktlosen optischen Raster-Messungen untersucht, die eine schnelle Sichtung von über 3400 Zusammensetzungen ermöglichten. Dies ermöglichte die Bewertung des photovoltaischen Potenzials von CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y über einen sehr breiten Bereich von Zusammensetzungen. Das höchste Wirkungsgradpotenzial wurde für stöchiometrische Zusammensetzungen gefunden, wobei ein Überschuss an Pb oder Cs zu erhöhten Verlusten durch nichtstrahlende Rekombination führt. Diese Ergebnisse liefern wichtige Erkenntnisse für die weitere Entwicklung von anorganischen MHP-Bauelementen. / To keep up with the increasing need for specialized materials, a parallelization of the materials discovery process is needed through combinatorial synthesis and high-throughput analysis. The acceleration of materials discovery is especially of interest in the area of optoelectronics where metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have proven to be an excellent material class and have achieved impressive performance in photovoltaic devices among other applications. However, the degradation of the frequently employed organic components contributes to limiting the long-term stability of MHP devices. In this work, accelerated materials discovery is addressed through the development, implementation, and validation of two complementary methods for combinatorial synthesis. Firstly, the solution-based method of combinatorial inkjet printing was further developed by providing and validating a new algorithm for improved ink mixing. Secondly, the vapor-based synthesis of double-gradient CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y was achieved by co-evaporation. Combinatorial libraries created by both methods were used for the high-throughput investigation of the structural and optical properties of the inorganic CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y MHPs. This enabled the fast construction of complete phase diagrams for thin-films of the CsPb(BrxI1-x)3 solid solution which show that the addition of Br stabilizes the semiconducting perovskite phase and allows for lower processing temperatures. Additionally, CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y libraries were investigated by automized, contact-less, optical mapping measurements, enabling the rapid screening of over 3400 compositions. This enabled the assessment of the photovoltaic potential of CsyPb1-y(BrxI1-x)2-y over a very broad compositional range. The maximum efficiency potential was found for stoichiometric compositions, with excess of Pb or Cs causing increased losses by non-radiative recombination. These results provide vital knowledge for further development of inorganic MHP devices.
