3D Patterning of Perovskite Quantum Dots via Direct In Situ Femtosecond Laser Writing.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) exhibit remarkable optical properties, making them highly promising for next-generation display technologies. However, achieving precise PQDs patterning is hindered by significant challenges, including the inability to achieve true three-dimensional (3D) structuring and the risk of damaging the delicate perovskite crystal lattice. Existing methods struggle to achieve true 3D structuring while preserving the optical integrity. This study introduces an in situ patterning technique using direct laser writing (DLW). By leveraging the nonlinear absorption properties of femtosecond lasers, thiol-Ene photopolymerization is triggered, transforming perovskite precursors into complex fluorescent structures. Unlike conventional methods, this precursor-based approach minimizes laser power requirements and prevents quantum dot degradation caused by high-energy exposure. It enables precise, scalable fabrication while maintaining the structural and optical stabilities of PQDs. This innovation provides a robust platform for developing advanced display technologies, optoelectronic devices, and miniaturized on-chip systems, paving the way for future high-performance applications.
