Cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, or I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are known as ionic nanocrystals, and their optical properties are greatly affected by the washing solvent used during the purification process. Here, we demonstrate the purification process of CsPbBr3 perovskite QDs using low-dielectric-constant solvents to completely remove impurities, such as the reaction solvent and desorbed ligands. The use of the ether solvent diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme), having a low dielectric constant of ε = 7.23, as a poor solvent for reprecipitation allowed for multiple wash cycles, which led to high purity and high photoluminescence quantum yield for CsPbBr3 QDs. The light-emitting device constructed with the CsPbBr3 QDs and washed twice with diglyme (two-wash) showed a low turn-on voltage of 2.7 V and a peak external quantum efficiency of over 8%. Thus, the purification of perovskite QDs with multiple wash cycles using a low-dielectric-constant solvent is an effective approach for enhancing not only the optical properties but also the efficiency of perovskite quantum dot light-emitting devices.
