Abstract
The development of tin-lead alloyed halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is highly desirable for creating ultrastable, eco-friendly optoelectronic applications. However, the current incorporation of tin into the lead matrix results in severe photoluminescence (PL) quenching. To date, the precise atomic-scale structural origins of this quenching are still unknown, representing a significant barrier to fully realizing the potential of these materials. Here, we uncover the distinctive defect-related microstructures responsible for PL quenching using atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and theoretical calculations. Our findings reveal an increase in point defects and Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) planar faults with increasing tin content. Notably, the point defects include a spectrum of vacancies and previously overlooked antisite defects with bromide vacancies and cation antisite defects emerging as the primary contributors to deep-level defects. Furthermore, the RP planar faults exhibit not only the typical rock-salt stacking pattern found in pure Pb-based PNCs but also previously undocumented microstructures rich in bromide vacancies and deep-level cation antisite defects. Direct strain imaging uncovers severe lattice distortion and significant inhomogeneous strain distributions caused by point defect aggregation, potentially breaking the local force balance and driving RP planar fault formation via lattice slippage. Our work illuminates the nature and evolution of defects in tin-lead alloyed halide perovskite nanocrystals and their profound impact on PL quenching, providing insights that support future material strategies in the development of less toxic tin-lead alloyed perovskite nanocrystals.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
