Efficient Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence from Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites by Molecular Engineering

Abstract

Solution-processed organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are promising emitters for next-generation optoelectronic devices. Multiple-colored, bright light emission is achieved by tuning their composition and structures. However, there is very little research on exploring optically active organic cations for hybrid perovskites. Here, unique room-temperature phosphorescence from hybrid perovskites is reported by employing novel organic cations. Efficient room-temperature phosphorescence is activated by designing a mixed-cation perovskite system to suppress nonradiative recombination. Multiple-colored phosphorescence is achieved by molecular design. Moreover, the emission lifetime can be tuned by varying the perovskite composition to achieve persistent luminescence. Efficient room-temperature phosphorescence is demonstrated in hybrid perovskites that originates from the triplet states of the organic cations, opening a new dimension to the further development of perovskite emitters with novel functional organic cations for versatile display applications.
