Dual-Mode Plasmonic Coupling-Enhanced Color Conversion of Inorganic CsPbBr₃ Perovskite Quantum Dot Films

Plasmonic coupling has been demonstrated to be an effective manipulation strategy for emission enhancement in low-dimensional semiconductor materials. Here, dual-mode plasmonic resonances based on a metal dimer structure were proposed to simultaneously enhance the absorption under short-wavelength excitation and excitons’ emission at longer wavelengths for CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs). Large-area metal nanodimer arrays with well-controlled local surface plasmon resonance were facilely fabricated by a simple method combined with metal angular deposition and nanosphere lithography. With the addition of an optimized polymethyl methacrylate spacer, the effective plasmonic coupling and interfacial passivation of QDs were successfully achieved in the hybrid system. As a result, the QD films exhibited a significant and approximately 3.95-fold overall fluorescence enhancement when using blue light excitation, showing the novel advantages of dual-mode plasmonic coupling of semiconductor quantum structures for color conversion applications.
