Abstract: CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted significant attention for optoelectronic applications owing to their outstanding optical properties, yet achieving controlled synthesis with high stability under mild conditions remains a challenge. The room-temperature synthesis of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots using a coprecipitation method is systematically investigated in this work, with an emphasis on how the structural and optical properties of the QDs are influenced by the Br/Pb ratio and OA/OAm ratio. The findings show that controlling the Br/Pb and OA/OAm ratios can effectively influence the size, crystalline phase, and surface passivation properties of CsPbBr3 quantum dots. The photoluminescence peak shifts blue and the bandgap widens when the Br/Pb ratio rises due to a decrease in quantum dot size. This is mainly explained by more effective surface covering by Br− ions and increased quantum confinement effects. The resultant quantum dots demonstrate ideal optical performance at a Br/Pb ratio of 75 and an OA/OAm ratio of 1.5, with dense ligand coverage, superior defect passivation, and markedly improved stability under UV irradiation and in aqueous environments. Variations in the Br/Pb and OA/OAm ratios affect the binding configuration and coverage of ligands on the quantum dot surface, thereby influencing the relationship between non-radiative recombination and the quantum confinement effect. The LED fabricated with the as-synthesized high-performance quantum dots demonstrates a wide color gamut, covering 129.45% of the NTSC standard, indicating strong potential for display applications.
