Abstract

The remarkable photoelectric characteristics of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), including high fault tolerance, tunable photoluminescence (PL) emission, and high carrier mobility, contribute to making them especially attractive for photonic and optoelectronic applications. Unfortunately, the poor environmental thermal and light stability set obstacles to their industrial applications. Over the past 40 years, II-VI semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have achieved many important photophysics findings and optoelectronic applications. Compared with perovskite NCs, II-VI semiconductor QDs still have a relatively weaker molar absorbance coefficient. Whereas, significant enhancement of both the stability and the optical performance of the composites of perovskite NCs and II-VI QDs are of interest for photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. The composites of perovskite NCs and II-VI QDs come in two primary types: core/shell structures and heterojunction structures. To better understand the composites of perovskite NCs and II-VI QDs, the approaches of synthesis methods, their optoelectronic properties, carrier dynamics and potential applications in solar cells, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors are summarized. Furthermore, the unmet problems and the potential applications are also presented.
