Super-fine electrohydrodynamic inkjet (SIJ) printing of perovskite nanocrystal (PNC) colloid ink exhibits significant potential in the fabrication of high-resolution color conversion microstructures arrays for full-color micro-LED displays. However, the impact of solvent on both the printing process and the morphology of SIJ-printed PNC color conversion microstructures remains underexplored. In this study, we prepared samples of CsPbBr₃ PNC colloid inks in various solvents and investigated the solvent’s impact on SIJ printed PNC microstructures. Our findings reveal that the boiling point of the solvent is crucial to the SIJ printing process of PNC colloid inks. Only does the boiling point of the solvent fall in the optimal range, the regular positioned, micron-scaled, conical PNC microstructures can be successfully printed. Below this optimal range, the ink is unable to be ejected from the nozzle; while above this range, irregular positioned microstructures with nanoscale height and coffee-ring-like morphology are produced. Based on these observations, high-resolution color conversion PNC microstructures were effectively prepared using SIJ printing of PNC colloid ink dispersed in dimethylbenzene solvent.
