AI Article Synopsis

  • Solution-processed quasi-2D perovskites with self-assembled quantum well structures show improved exciton binding energy, making them great for light emission applications.
  • Post-annealing is crucial for enhancing the composition of quantum wells, affecting external quantum efficiency (EQE) and device stability; longer annealing times improve stability but decrease EQE.
  • Adding trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TPTA) helps reduce defects, balancing the decrease in EQE with improved stability, leading to more efficient and stable perovskite light-emitting diodes.

Article Abstract

Solution-processed quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites with self-assembled multiple quantum well (QW) structures exhibit enhanced exciton binding energy, which is ideal for use as light emitters. Here, we have found that postannealing is important to promoting the QWs' composition transfer, and we explored the correlation among the annealing time, the external quantum efficiency (EQE), and the operational stability of the device. During thermal annealing, the low- QWs will gradually convert to high- phases, accompanied by an increase in grain size. The EQE and working stability of the device exhibit different annealing-time dependences; that is, with the extension of the annealing time, the EQE gradually decreases while the working stability improves. By introducing trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TPTA) to passivate the emitting-region defects, the annealing-time dependence of the EQE was effectively eliminated due to the reduction of the nonradiative recombination rate, wherefore high efficiency and stability can be achieved simultaneously. Our research provides an effective way to develop highly efficiency and stable perovskite light-emitting diodes.

Solution-processed semiconductor lasers are next-generation light sources for large-scale, bio-compatible and integrated photonics. However, overcoming their performance-cost trade-off to rival III-V laser functionalities is a long-standing challenge. Here, we demonstrate room-temperature continuous-wave perovskite polariton lasers exhibiting remarkably low thresholds of ~0.

Lead halide perovskites have garnered interest in light-emitting diode (LED) applications due to their strong emission and tunable properties. However, conventional synthesis methods involve energy-intensive thermal processes and hazardous organic solvents, raising environmental concerns. In this study, we report a simple and eco-friendly mechanochemical approach that produces phase-pure blue-emitting CsCuI (emission at 440 nm) and yellow-emitting CsCuI (emission at 570 nm) phosphors through polarity modulation and control of grinding duration.

Room temperature (RT) synthesized mixed bromine and chlorine CsPbBrCl perovskite quantum dots (Pe-QDs) offer notable advantages for blue quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), such as cost-effective processing and narrow luminescence peaks. However, the efficiency of blue QLEDs using these RT-synthesized QDs has been limited by inferior crystallinity and deep defect presence. In this study, we demonstrate a precise approach to constructing high-quality gradient core-shell (CS) structures of CsPbBrCl QD through anion exchange.

Owing to the predominant merit of tunable bandgaps, tin-lead mixed perovskites have shown great potentials in realizing near-infrared optoelectronics and are receiving increasing attention. However, despite the merit, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of the bandgap variation as a function of Sn/Pb ratio, mainly because the films are easy to segregate in terms of both composition and phase. Here, we report a fully stoichiometric synthesis of monocrystalline FAPbSnI nanocrystals as well as their atomic-scale imaging.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have attracted more and more attention in light-emitting diode (LED) devices due to their outstanding photoelectric properties. Surface ligands not only enable size control of quantum dots but also enhance their optoelectronic performance. However, the efficiency of exciton recombination in PQDs is often hindered by the desorption dynamics of surface ligands, leading to suboptimal electrical performance.
