Bright and Color-Stable Blue-Light-Emitting Diodes based on Three-Dimensional Perovskite Polycrystalline Films via Morphology and Interface Engineering

Abstract

Substantial progress has been achieved in red and green perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, blue PeLEDs are still inferior in light-emitting efficiency and luminance compared with their green and red counterparts. Herein efficient blue PeLEDs simultaneously achieving high luminance and high color stability are fabricated based on the polycrystalline perovskites with a 3D Rb–Cs alloyed scaffold. The synergistic manipulation of an isopropanol antisolvent treatment and the PEDOT:PSS/blue perovskite interface modification with RbCl effectively improve the photoluminescence properties of the resultant blue polycrystalline 3D perovskite films and the final electroluminescence performance of the blue PeLEDs. The optimized blue PeLEDs show a maximum external quantum efficiency of 1.66% with an emission peak at 484 nm and a full width at half-maximum of 18 nm as well as CIE coordinates of (0.08, 0.21). Moreover, the optimized blue PeLEDs not only show superior color stability under various luminances but also achieve high luminances. The obtained maximum luminance of 9243 cd m–2 is one of the highest values among the efficient and color-stable blue PeLEDs.
