Charge-carrier dynamics and regulation strategies in perovskite light-emitting diodes: From materials to devices

Abstract

In recent years, perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have developed rapidly with the highest external quantum efficiency exceeding 20%. Their unbalanced carrier injection and non-radiative recombination assisted by defects lead to the destruction of perovskite crystal structures and poor device stability, which hinders their commercialization process. Thus, to understand the origin of device performance, the key is to figure out the charge-carrier dynamics of the devices. In this review, the charge-carrier dynamics of perovskites are discussed, including radiative and non-radiative recombination, together with the various passivation strategies. Second, we focus on the interfacial carrier dynamics and its influence on device performance. Various strategies to improve the injection balance have been implemented to address the inherent challenges associated with PeLEDs. Last but not least, the characterization techniques of PeLEDs are provided to study the carrier dynamics of PeLEDs.
