Description

We synthesized bicolor Mn-doped CuInS2 (CIS)/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs), in which Mn2+ ions and the CIS core were separated with a ZnS layer, and both Mn2+ ions and CIS cores could emit simultaneously. Transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction measurements indicated the epitaxial growth of ZnS shell on the CuInS2 core, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum indicated that Mn2+ ions were on the lattice points of ZnS shell. By integrating these bicolor NCs with commercial InGaN-based blue-emitting diodes, tricolor white light-emitting diodes with color rendering index of 83 were obtained
