Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional perovskite quantum dots are used, then high efficiency and superior optical properties are achieved, but thermal stability and moisture resistance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a ternary complex composite material combining perovskite quantum dots, polymer matrix, and ceramic shell. This composite structure integrates the high efficiency and optical properties of perovskite QDs with the thermal stability of ceramics and moisture resistance of the polymer matrix, resolving the contradiction between reliability and resistance to harmful factors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a nested structure where perovskite quantum dots are embedded within a polymer matrix, and the entire complex is coated with a ceramic shell. This nested arrangement provides multiple protective layers that simultaneously enhance thermal stability and moisture resistance while preserving the core perovskite QD properties.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional perovskite quantum dots are used, then high efficiency photovoltaic application is achieved, but compatibility with various solvents deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The polymer matrix acts as an intermediary between the perovskite quantum dots and various solvents. This intermediary layer provides a buffer that improves solvent compatibility during processing while the ceramic shell maintains structural integrity and prevents solubility issues during post-treatment, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability.

AI summary
A method for preparation of perovskite quantum dot (PQD)/polymer/ceramic ternary complex includes encapsulation of bifunctional coating including ceramic and polymer. Encapsulation sequence of polymer and ceramic may be altered according to the application. In one scenario, the perovskite quantum dots may be protected with ceramic coating first and further coated with polymer to obtain the perovskite/ceramic/polymer ternary complex. In another scenario, the perovskite quantum dots may be protected with polymer coating first and followed by ceramic coating to obtain the perovskite/polymer/ceramic ternary complex. The PQD ternary complex may provide synergistic effect on improvement of stability towards heat and moisture when compared to existing technology.
