Highly efficient perovskite QLEDs can be realized when QD films possess two crucial synergistic parameters: highly luminescent features and effective electric transport properties. Regarding the emissive properties of QD films, although long organic ligands perfectly passivated the QD's surface and endowed ink with the near-unity luminescent properties with a PLQY approaching 100%, [11,12] the films generally exhibited a relatively low PLQY of about 40% due to the formation of nonradiative recombination centers. This phenomenon results from the dynamic characteristic of the bonding between the QD's surface and organic capping ligands, leading to the mismatched ligands during the film-forming process. [13,14] Meanwhile, these ligands act as electrically insulating layers on the QD's surface resulting in inefficient carrier injection and transportation, [15,16] which are detrimental to device performance. To enhance the electric properties of QD films, much attention [17,18] has been devoted to the development of ligand strategies that minimize the interparticle spacing. For example, Li et al. demonstrated an effective enhancement in electrical properties and EQE of CsPbBr 3 QLEDs through the control of surface ligand density. [9] Through ligand-exchange strategies, [8,19] a relatively short (C12) ligand, didodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB), was used to enhance device performance, obtaining an EQE of 8.73% under an effective washing process. Unfortunately, these methods are still based on long organic ligands, which cannot render the QD solid with ideal carrier injection and transportation features. Thus, it is significantly crucial to find an effective and feasible strategy to control the surface state of perovskite QDs, which could guarantee the high exciton recombination and carrier injection in constructing high-performance electroluminescent (EL) devices.Inorganic ligands with less space separation among particles could effectively enhance the electrical properties of QD films. [20,21] Meanwhile, they also improved the PL features through the reduce of the defect-related nonradiative recombination, which has been proven in traditional QDs. [22][23][24][25] For example, the halide-related ligands have improved the luminescent feature and radiative recombination in Cd-based QDs, which was realized by the ligand-exchange process. [20,26,27] But such a strategy is not feasible for perovskite QDs because they Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and narrow emission peak hold promise for next-generation flexible and high-definition displays. However, perovskite QD films often suffer from low PLQYs due to the dynamic characteristics between the QD's surface and organic ligands and inefficient electrical transportation resulting from long hydrocarbon organic ligands as highly insulating barrier, which impair the ensuing device performance. Here, a general organic-inorganic hybrid ligand (OIHL) strategy is reported on to passivate perovskite QDs for highly efficient el...

Developing low-cost and high-quality quantum dots (QDs) or nanocrystals (NCs) and their corresponding efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is crucial for the next-generation ultra-high-definition flexible displays. Here, there is a report on a room-temperature triple-ligand surface engineering strategy to play the synergistic role of short ligands of tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB), didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), and octanoic acid (OTAc) toward "ideal" perovskite QDs with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of >90%, unity radiative decay in its intrinsic channel, stable ink characteristics, and effective charge injection and transportation in QD films, resulting in the highly efficient QD-based LEDs (QLEDs). Furthermore, the QD films with less nonradiative recombination centers exhibit improved PL properties with a PLQY of 61% through dopant engineering in A-site. The robustness of such properties is demonstrated by the fabrication of green electroluminescent LEDs based on CsPbBr QDs with the peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 11.6%, and the corresponding peak internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and power efficiency are 52.2% and 44.65 lm W , respectively, which are the most-efficient perovskite QLEDs with colloidal CsPbBr QDs as emitters up to now. These results demonstrate that the as-obtained QD inks have a wide range application in future high-definition QD displays and high-quality lightings.

Perovskite quantum-dot-based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) possess the features of wide gamut and real color expression, which have been considered as candidates for high-quality lightings and displays. However, massive defects are prone to be reproduced during the quantum dot (QD) film assembly, which would sorely affect carrier injection, transportation and recombination, and finally degrade QLED performances. Here, we propose a bilateral passivation strategy through passivating both top and bottom interfaces of QD film with organic molecules, which has drastically enhanced the efficiency and stability of perovskite QLEDs. Various molecules were applied, and comparison experiments were conducted to verify the necessity of passivation on both interfaces. Eventually, the passivated device achieves a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 18.7% and current efficiency of 75 cd A −1. Moreover, the operational lifetime of QLEDs is enhanced by 20-fold, reaching 15.8 h. These findings highlight the importance of interface passivation for efficient and stable QD-based optoelectronic devices.

Cyberbullying has become a common occurrence among adolescents worldwide; however, it has yet to receive adequate scholarly attention in China, especially in the mainland. The present study investigated the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of cyberbullying, utilizing a sample of 1,438 high school students from central China. Findings revealed that cyberbullying among high school students in the heartland of central China is relatively common with 34.84% (N ¼ 501) of participants reported having bullied someone and 56.88% (N ¼ 818) reported having been bullied by online. Significant gender differences were found, suggesting that boys are more likely to be involved in cyberbullying both as perpetrators and victims. Students with lower academic achievement were more likely to be perpetrators online than were students with better academic achievement. Students who spend more time on online, have access to the internet in their bedrooms, have themselves experienced traditional bullying as victims, and are frequently involved in instant-messaging and other forms of online

Indium phosphide (InP) core/shell quantum dots (QDs) without intrinsic toxicity have shown great potential to replace the widely applied cadmium‐containing QDs in next‐generation commercial display and lighting applications. However, it remains challenging to synthesize InP core/shell QDs with high quantum yields (QYs), uniform particle size, and simultaneously thicker shell thickness to reduce nonradiative Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET). Here, thick InP‐Based QLEDs shell InP/GaP/ZnS//ZnS core/shell QDs with high stability, high QY (≈70%), and large particle size (7.2 ± 1.3 nm) are successfully synthesized through extending the growth time of shell materials along with the timely replenishment of shelling precursor. The existence of GaP interface layer minimizes the lattice mismatch and reduces interfacial defects. While thick ZnS shell, which suppresses the FRET between closely packed QDs, ensures high PL QY and stability. The robustness of such properties is demonstrated by the fabrication of green electroluminescent LEDs based on InP core/shell QDs with the peak external quantum efficiency and current efficiency of 6.3% and 13.7 cd A−1, respectively, which are the most‐efficient InP‐based green quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs) till now. This work provides an effective strategy to further improve heavy‐metal‐free QLED performance and moves a significant step toward the commercial application of InP‐based electroluminescent device.

Lead halide perovskite, as an emerging semiconductor, provides a fire‐new opportunity for high‐definition display and solid‐state lighting. Earthshaking improvements are implemented in green, red, and near‐infrared perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, blue PeLEDs are still far behind in performance, which restricts the development of PeLEDs in practical applications. Herein, a facile energy cascade channel strategy via one‐step self‐organized and controllable 2D/3D perovskite preparation by introducing guanidine hydrobromide (GABr) is developed that greatly improves the efficiency of blue PeLEDs. The 2D/3D perovskite structure boosts the energy cascade to induce energy transfer from the wide into the narrow bandgap domains and inhibit free charge diffusion, which increases the density of electrons and holes, and enhances the radiative recombination. Profiting from this energy cascade channels, the external quantum efficiency of blue PeLEDs, emitting at 492 nm, is considerably enhanced from 1.5% of initial blue device to 8.2%. In addition, device operating stability under ambient conditions is also improved by 2.6‐fold. The one‐step self‐organized 2D/3D hybrid perovskites induced by GABr pave a new and simple route toward high‐performance blue emission PeLEDs.
