Enhanced Direct White Light Emission Efficiency in Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes via Embedded Ferroelectric Islands Structure

White light emission is of great importance in our daily life as it is the primary source of light indoor and outdoor as well as day and night. Among various materials and lighting technologies, intensive efforts have been made to quantum dots based-light-emitting diode (QD-LEDs, or QLEDs) because of outstanding optical properties, facile synthesis, and bandgap tunability of QDs. Despite the fact that QLEDs are able to present various colors in a visible range, realizing efficient direct white light emission is a challenge as white light emission can only be achievable through stacking and patterning of QD films or mixing of different sizes of QDs. This inevitably involves energy band mismatch at interfaces, leading to degradation of device performance. Here, a new effective method to improve white QLED performances through embedding a ferroelectric islands structure is introduced, which induces an electric field to effectively modulate the energy band at the junction interface. The formation of a favorable energy landscape leads to efficient charge transport, improved radiative recombination, and consequently high external quantum efficiency in the white QLEDs. In addition, it is demonstrated that this new approach is proved to be effective in different color temperatures ranging from 3000 to over 120 000 K.     

Suppressing Ion Migration of Mixed-Halide Perovskite Quantum Dots for High Efficiency Pure-Red Light-Emitting Diodes

Perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) with a mixed halide composition can be used to obtain the “pure red” emission, i.e., in the 620–650 nm range, required for high-definition displays. However, fast halide ion migration induces phase separation in these materials under electric fields, resulting in poor spectral stability and low efficiency. Herein, a method for producing mixed halide CsPbI_3-xBr_x quantum dots (QDs) is reported in which ion migration is suppressed. The mixed halide composition is first achieved by anion exchange between CsPbI₃ QDs and hydrobromic acid (HBr), during that the bromine ions efficiently passivate the iodine vacancies of the QDs. The original oleic acid ligands are then exchanged for 1-dodecanethiol (1-DT), which suppresses halide ion migration via the strong binding of the sulfhydryl group with the QD surface. PeLEDs based on these QDs exhibit a pure-red electroluminescence (EL) peak at 637 nm, a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 21.8% with an average value of 20.4%, a peak luminance of 2653 cd m⁻², and low EQE decease with increasing luminance. The EL spectrum of these devices is stable even at 6.7 V and they have an EQE half-life of 70 min at an initial luminance of 150 cd m⁻².

有机发光器件的一种失效机制

Self-Assembled Molecule Doping Enables High-Efficiency Hole-Transport-Layer-Free Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes

Hole-transport-layer-free (HTL-free) perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are attracting increasing research attention because of their simplified device structure, fast preparation process, and high cost effectiveness. However, their much lower external quantum efficiency (EQE) as compared with the conventional p-i-n type ones has considerably limited their application prospects. Here, a self-assembled molecule (SAM) doping strategy is proposed by introducing [4-(3,6-dimethyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl) butyl] phosphonic acid (Me-4PACz) containing PO functional groups into the perovskite precursor solution and preparing the HTL-free quasi-2D perovskite films through the one-step spin-coating process. The doped Me-4PACz molecules can not only accumulate at the ITO/perovskite interface to lower the hole injection barrier, but also extend deep into the perovskite layer to suppress the trap density in perovskite films and regulate the crystallization process for monodispersed phase composition. With the further addition of ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate small molecule containing CO groups to passivate the defects synergistically with Me-4PACz, the EQE of the corresponding device is boosted from 1.5% to 16.7% together with a 3.5-fold increase in operational stability, which is the highest efficiency reported so far for HTL-free PeLEDs. The results demonstrate that the SAM doping strategy can be a viable and facile way to prepare high-performance HTL-free PeLEDs for practical applications.     

Low Roll‐Off Perovskite Quantum Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes Achieved by Augmenting Hole Mobility

The external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of perovskite quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QD‐LEDs) are close to the out‐coupling efficiency limitation. However, these high‐performance QD‐LEDs still suffer from a serious issue of efficiency roll‐off at high current density. More injected carriers produce photons less efficiently, strongly suggesting the variation of ratio between radiative and non‐radiative recombination. An approach is proposed to balance the carrier distribution and achieve high EQE at high current density. The average interdot distance between QDs is reduced and this facilitates carrier transport in QD films and thus electrons and holes have a balanced distribution in QD layers. Such encouraging results augment the proportion of radiative recombination, make devices with peak EQE of 12.7%, and present a great device performance at high current density with an EQE roll‐off of 11% at 500 mA cm^?2 (the lowest roll‐off known so far) where the EQE is still over 11%.

Organometal Halide Perovskite Quantum Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes

Organometal halide perovskites quantum dots (OHP‐QDs) with bright, color‐tunable, and narrow‐band photoluminescence have significant advantages in display, lighting, and laser applications. Due to sparse concentrations and difficulties in the enrichment of OHP‐QDs, production of large‐area uniform films of OHP‐QDs is a challenging task, which largely impedes their use in electroluminescence devices. Here, a simple dip‐coating method has been reported to effectively fabricate large‐area uniform films of OHP‐QDs. Using this technique, multicolor OHP‐QDs light‐emitting diodes (OQ‐LEDs) emitting in blue, blue‐green, green, orange, and red color have been successfully produced by simply tuning the halide composition or size of QDs. The blue, green, and red OQ‐LEDs exhibited, respectively, a maximum luminance of 2673, 2398, and 986 cd m^?2 at a current efficiency of 4.01, 3.72, and 1.52 cd A^?1, and an external quantum efficiency of 1.38%, 1.06%, and 0.53%, which are much better than most LEDs based on OHP films. The packaged OQ‐LEDs show long‐term stability in air (humidity ≈50%) for at least 7 d. The results demonstrate the great potential of the dip‐coating method to fabricate large‐area uniform films for various QDs. The high‐efficiency OQ‐LEDs also demonstrate the promising potential of OHP‐QDs for low‐cost display, lighting, and optical communication applications.

Efficient All-Perovskite White Light-Emitting Diodes Made of In Situ Grown Perovskite-Mesoporous Silica Nanocomposites

Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as potential materials for high brightness, wide color gamut, and cost-effective backlight emission due to their high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow emission linewidths, and tunable bandgaps. Herein, CsPbX₃/SBA-15 nanocomposites are prepared with outstanding optical properties and high stability through an in situ growth strategy using mesoporous silica particles. According to finite-difference time-domain simulations, the mesoporous structure provides a strong waveguide effect on perovskite QDs and the uniform dispersion suppresses reabsorption losses, improving the overall photoconversion efficiency of perovskite QDs. The as-fabricated perovskite monochromatic light-emitting diode (LED) has a maximum luminous efficiency of 183 lm W⁻¹, which is the highest for monochromatic perovskite LEDs reported to date. A further benefit of this work is that the white devices, which combine the green and red perovskite nanocomposites with commercial blue LED, exhibit a high luminous efficiency of 116 lm W⁻¹ and a wide color gamut (125% for NTSC and 94% for Rec. 2020) with coordinates of (0.33,0.31).

High‐Efficiency and Stable Quantum Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes Enabled by a Solution‐Processed Metal‐Doped Nickel Oxide Hole Injection Interfacial Layer

Stabilization is one critical issue that needs to be improved for future application of colloidal quantum dot (QD)‐based light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs). This study reports highly efficient and stable QLEDs based on solution‐processsed, metal‐doped nickel oxide films as hole injection layer (HIL).

These are the highest values reported so far for QLEDs with PEDOT:PSS‐free normal structure. Meanwhile, the resulting QLED shows a half‐life time of 87 h at an initial luminance of 5000 cd m^?2, almost fourfold longer than that of the PEDOT:PSS‐based device.
