At present, the CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 quantum dots (QDs) reported in the literature usually contain two synthesis steps: the initial preparation of CH 3 NH 3 Br via the reaction of flammable CH 3 NH 2 and HBr, together with the subsequent formation of CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs. To avoid the use of dangerous CH 3 NH 2, this work develops a novel one-pot method for synthesizing CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs using safe and commercially available reactants (CH 3 NH 3 Cl, KBr and PbCl 2). It is found that ultrasonic treatment plays a key role during the synthesis of CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs. Without ultrasonic irradiation, it is not possible to synthesize CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs under heating or vigorous stirring. Aliquots of samples taken at different ultrasonic irradiation time intervals show a time-dependent redshift in the emission wavelength. This suggests the formation of CH 3 NH 3 PbCl 3 QDs first, followed by the formation of CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs through ultrasonically promoted halide exchange. Moreover, mixed CH 3 NH 3 PbCl x Br 3− x QDs with a tunable emission wavelength can also be prepared through this one-pot method by controlling the ultrasonic irradiation time. In comparison to the previous two-step method, the current one-pot method is simpler, less time-consuming and does not use flammable CH 3 NH 2. The as-prepared CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 QDs show a comparable photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) to that of the literature. What is more, the ultrasonic time-controlled emission wavelength of CH 3 NH 3 PbCl x Br 3− x QDs also provides an alternative way of tuning QD emission to the traditional way of controlling the halide ratios.
