VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If chalcogenide perovskite nanoparticles are used for color conversion, then high light absorption coefficient and durability are achieved, but non-radiative recombination occurs on the particle surface resulting in insufficient emission intensity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedurabilityVSAvoidemission intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

A shell layer comprising a semiconductor material with a band gap of 2.7 eV or more is introduced as an intermediary between the chalcogenide perovskite particle body and the external environment. This shell layer passivates surface defects and suppresses non-radiative recombination of carriers, thereby improving emission intensity while maintaining the high durability and light absorption coefficient of the chalcogenide perovskite core material

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Use of energy by moving object

If chalcogenide perovskite nanoparticles are used for color conversion, then high light absorption coefficient is achieved, but non-radiative recombination on the particle surface reduces emission intensity

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The shell layer acts as a mediator that preserves the high light absorption coefficient of the chalcogenide perovskite core while eliminating surface defect-induced non-radiative recombination. The shell material with band gap ≥2.7 eV allows efficient carrier confinement and radiative recombination, thereby converting the absorbed light energy into emitted light more effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite structure consisting of a chalcogenide perovskite core and a semiconductor shell layer. This core-shell composite combines the advantages of both materials: the core provides high light absorption coefficient and durability, while the shell provides surface passivation and enhanced radiative emission, achieving both high light absorption and high emission intensity
