The introduction of dopants plays a key role in the physical properties of semiconductors for optoelectronic applications. However, doping is generally challenging for nanocrystals (NCs), especially for two-dimensional (2D) NCs, due to the self-annealing effect and high surface energies required for dopant addition. In this paper, we report an efficient doping strategy for Mn-doped 2D CsPbCl3 (i.e., Mn:CsPbCl3) nanoplatelets (NPLs) through a postsynthetic solvothermal process. While the original lightly doped 2D Mn:CsPbCl3 NPLs were obtained from growth doping, higher Mn doping efficiencies were achieved through diffusion doping under pressure-mediated solvothermal conditions, resulting in enhanced Mn photoluminescence (PL). Surprisingly, a new CsMnCl3 phase with complete dopant substitution by spinodal decomposition was observed with extended solvothermal treatment, which is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure, and electron paramagnetic resonance. Compared with Mn:CsPbCl3 NPLs, the pure CsMnCl3 NPLs give rise to shorter Mn PL lifetime, which is consistent with the short Mn–Mn distance within CsMnCl3 NPLs. This work provides an efficient strategy for doping inside NCs as well as new insights on the dopant concentration-dependent structural and optical properties of perovskite NCs.
