AI Article Synopsis

  • Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are gaining interest due to their excellent optoelectronic properties, but challenges exist in understanding how carriers move and recombine during operation.
  • The study investigates how additives and interface engineering, particularly using polyethylene glycol (PEG), enhance device performance by creating stable nanocrystals and improving fluorescence lifespan in PeLEDs.
  • An electron transport layer made of PO-T2T improves carrier mobility and lowers the turn-on voltage, yet it comes with drawbacks like short decay times and instability, while lower temperatures negatively affect carrier mobility and transient response speed.

Article Abstract

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have garnered significant attention due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties. However, investigating carrier transport and recombination behavior during device operation poses persistent challenges. In this study, we explore the impact of additive and interface engineering on device performance using transient electroluminescence (TREL). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) induces the formation of square-faceted nanocrystals with a homogeneous size distribution and extended fluorescence lifetime. Consequently, these PeLEDs exhibit remarkable stability. Additionally, employing an electron transport layer of 2,4,6-tris[3-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-1,3,5-triazine (PO-T2T), which has a better match to the energy bands of the perovskite layer and a higher carrier mobility, allows for lower turn-on voltage and faster response but also suffers from a short decay time and poor stability. Moreover, low-temperature TREL characterization shows that the carrier mobility is also significantly suppressed with decreasing temperature, which reduces the transient response speed.

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.
