TY - CONF A1 - Heuser, Lina T1 - Silver in low-melting alkali zinc borate glasses N2 - Ein aktuelles Forschungsziel ist die Substitution von Bleioxid in niedrig schmelzenden Gläsern z.B. zur Anwendung in Silber-Metallisationspasten. Im Fokus steht hier die Untersuchung der Silberdiffusion in Alkali-Zink-Boratgläsern (X2O-ZnO-B2O3, X = Li, Na, K, Rb). Zudem wird der Redoxzustand des Silbers (Ag) und somit die Art der diffundierenden Silberspezies bestimmt. Hierzu wurde eine metallische Silberschicht mittels Sputterns auf Glaswürfel aufgebracht. Die Wärmebehandlung erfolgte nahe der Glasübergangstemperatur bei 470 °C über 2 h unter Luft und Stickstoffatmosphäre. Die Schichtdicke der Silberbeschichtung betrug 1.8 µm nach der Wärmebehandlung, gemessen mittels Weißlicht-Interferometer. Die Silberdiffusionsprofile wurden mittels Sekundär-Neutral-Teilchen-Massenspektrometrie gemessen. Die Diffusionskoeffizienten des Silbers liegen in der Größenordnung von ~10-14 cm2/s und unterscheiden sich nur gering in Abhängigkeit des Alkali-Ions im Glas. Mittels Fluoreszenz-Spektroskopie ließen sich gelöste Ag+-Ionen und [Agm]n+-Cluster nach der Wärmebehandlung unterscheiden. Zusätzlich konnten ausgeschiedene metallische Silber-Partikel im Natrium-enthaltenden Glas mittels Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie beobachtet werden. Diese haben einen mittleren Durchmesser von ~6 nm. N2 - Substitution of lead oxide in low-melting glasses, e.g., for application in silver metallization pastes, is a current research goal. This work is focused on the investigation of silver diffusion in alkali zinc borate glasses (X2O-ZnO-B2O3, X = Li, Na, K, Rb). In addition, the redox state of silver (Ag) and thus the type of diffusing silver species were studied. For this purpose, a metallic silver coating was applied on glass cubes by means of sputtering. Heat treatment of the samples was performed close to the glass transition temperatures at 470 °C for 2 h under air and nitrogen atmosphere. Coating thickness was 1.8 µm after heat treatment, measured by a white light interferometer. Silver diffusion profiles were measured by means of secondary neutral mass spectrometry. The silver diffusion coefficients are in the range of ~10-14 cm2/s and indicate no significant differences depending on the type of alkali ions in the glass. Dissolved Ag+-ions and [Agm]n+-clusters in the glasses were differentiated using fluorescence spectroscopy. Precipitated metallic silver particles in the sodium containing glass were observed by means of transmission electron microcopy. Their mean particle diameter was ~6 nm.

Among them, Cs₂AgInCl₆ has attracted significant attention, particularly when doped with various elements, which induce self-trapped exciton (STE) states within the bandgap, resulting in efficient white-light emission and a remarkable enhancement of photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY). While several solid-state and solution-based methods have been employed for the synthesis of double halide perovskites, many rely on toxic solvents and complex procedures, hindering scalability. In this study, we present two environmentally friendly synthesis approaches for the preparation of Cs₂AgInCl₆ doped with monovalent (Na⁺) and trivalent (Bi³⁺) cations: 1. Green solution-based method: Utilizes mild reagents and entirely replaces harsh chemicals, enabling synthesis at ambient conditions. 2. Mechanochemical approach: Employs high-energy ball milling for 62 minutes at room temperature to obtain the desired crystalline phase. These green methodologies provide sustainable and scalable alternatives to conventional routes, minimizing the environmental footprint. We systematically compare the structural and optical properties of the doped perovskites synthesized via both approaches. The resulting materials exhibit strong UV absorption, broadband white-light emission, high PL QY (up to 85%, Fig. 1), long PL lifetimes, and good thermal and environmental stability (up to 300 °C in air). These results highlight the potential of doped Cs₂AgInCl₆ double perovskites as an eco-friendly material with possible photonic applications as in white-light devices.
