Efficient and bright warm-white electroluminescence from lead-free metal halides.

Solution-processed metal-halide perovskites are emerging as one of the most promising materials for displays, lighting and energy generation. Currently, the best-performing perovskite optoelectronic devices are based on lead halides and the lead toxicity severely restricts their practical applications. Moreover, efficient white electroluminescence from broadband-emission metal halides remains a challenge.

In Situ-Fabricated Perovskite Nanocrystals for Deep-Blue Light-Emitting Diodes.

Efficient and stable deep-blue emission from perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is required for their application in lighting and displays. However, this is difficult to achieve due to the phase segregation issue of mixed halide perovskites and the challenge of synthesizing high-quality single-halide deep-blue perovskite nanocrystals through a traditional method. Here, we show that an antisolvent treatment can facilitate the in situ formation of perovskite nanocrystals using a facile spin-coating method.

Unveiling the synergistic effect of precursor stoichiometry and interfacial reactions for perovskite light-emitting diodes.

Metal halide perovskites are emerging as promising semiconductors for cost-effective and high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Previous investigations have focused on the optimisation of the emissive perovskite layer, for example, through quantum confinement to enhance the radiative recombination or through defect passivation to decrease non-radiative recombination. However, an in-depth understanding of how the buried charge transport layers affect the perovskite crystallisation, though of critical importance, is currently missing for perovskite LEDs.
