Polymer-Assisted In Situ Growth of All-Inorganic Perovskite Nanocrystal Film for Efficient and Stable Pure-Red Light-Emitting Devices

Abstract

In the past few years, substantial progress has been made in perovskite light-emitting devices. Both pure green and infrared thin-film perovskite light-emitting devices with external quantum efficiency over 20% have been successfully achieved. However, pure-red and blue thin-film perovskite light-emitting diodes still suffer from inferior efficiency. Therefore, the development of efficient and stable thin-film perovskite light-emitting diodes with pure-red and blue emissions is urgently needed for possible applications as a new display technology and solid-state lighting. Here, we demonstrate an efficient light-emitting diode with pure-red emission based on polymer-assisted in situ growth of high-quality all-inorganic CsPbBr_0.6I_2.4 perovskite nanocrystal films with homogenous distribution of nanocrystals with size 20-30 nm. With this method, we can dramatically reduce the formation temperature of CsPbBr_0.6I_2.4 and stabilize its perovskite phase. Eventually, we successfully demonstrate a pure-red-emission perovskite light-emitting diode with a high external quantum efficiency of 6.55% and luminance of 338 cd/m². Furthermore, the device obtains an ultralow turn-on voltage of 1.5 V and a half-lifetime of over 0.5 h at a high initial luminance of 300 cd/m².
