    Optical properties of CIZS NCs and TPE-4Cl. (a) Absorption (Abs, gray lines) and PL spectra of CIZS film (bottom one, yellow line) and TPE-4Cl film (top one, blue line). The red dotted lines are the PL excitation (PLE) spectra of CIZS and the TPE-4Cl film; the inset shows the molecular structure of TPE-4Cl and the diagram of the CIZS NCs. (b) Photographs of TPE-4Cl and CIZS NCs in a toluene solution and films under UV light (365 nm). (c) PL spectra and corresponding fitted curves of the mixed film sample of TPE-4Cl and CIZS NCs. (d) and (e) Time-resolved PL curve and the corresponding fitted curves of TPE-4Cl and mixed film (monitored at 455 nm) as well as CIZS NCs and mixed film (monitored at 568 nm).
