Blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are essential for the creation of full-color displays and white-light illumination, and some significant progress is made in recent years. However, most high-performance blue perovskite LEDs are currently based on mixed-halide perovskites and suffer from unstable spectra due to inevitable halide phase segregation, which is unfavorable for the application of blue perovskite LEDs. In contrast, blue emissions from pure bromide perovskites generally exhibit stable spectra (consistent emission peak positions and spectral shapes) and are worthy of attention.

Here, firstly, we report constant low temperature substrate to regulate the growth of perovskite intermediate films to slow down the crystallization for obtaining high-quality homogeneous perovskite films in large scale size, which avoid the effect of the ambient temperature on the film quality.

Previously, large-sized passivation agents have been usually used, while the effect of defect passivation is limited due to the weak bonding or the large space steric hindrance. Here, we predict that the ultrasmall-sized formate (Fa) and acetate (Ac) have more efficient passivation ability because of the stronger binding with the perovskite, as demonstrated by density functional theory calculation.

Efficient red emission is one of most important parts for lighting and displays. Quasi-2D perovskites can deliver high emission efficiency due to the strong carrier confinement, while the external quantum efficiencies (EQE) of red quasi-2D PeLEDs are inefficient at present, which is due to the complex distribution of different n-value phases in quasi-2D perovskite films.
