Solution-processed lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) are very attractive as NIR-active semiconductors for the fabrication of cost-efficient optoelectronic devices. To control the thin film carrier transport, as well as stability, surface passivation is of crucial importance. Here, we present the successful surface passivation of PbS QDs by the formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI 3 ) ligand. An effective procedure for the fabrication of FAPbI 3 -passivated PbS QDs through a binary-phase ligand exchange protocol in hexane and n -methylformamide is demonstrated. It is shown that this solution-processed ligand exchange drastically changes the photoluminescence intensity, exciton recombination dynamics, and carrier lifetime of the nanocrystals. The solution casting of the ligand-exchanged nanocrystals into thin films results in the periodic ordering of QDs in a square superlattice with close contacts. Planar graphene/QD photodetectors fabricated with PbS QDs passivated with FAPbI 3 show substantially increased thermal stability as compared to similar devices using PbS QDs passivated with commonly used methylammonium lead iodide.
