Metal halide perovskites are emerging as promising candidate materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) due to their high luminescence, color purity, tunable bandgaps, and solution processabilities. In the past several years, the metal halide perovskite based LEDs (PeLEDs) in the green and red light spectral range have been demonstrated in high brightness and good efficiency. However, the performance of blue PeLED is still limited by the low blue light emission efficiency of present metal halide perovskite materials. Here, we report a facile solution method to fabricate a series of quasi-2D CsPbBr x Cl 3−x perovskite films with high photoluminescent quantum yields (PLQYs) in the blue light spectral range. By compositional engineering via increasing the content of chloride, we achieved the tunable light emission wavelength of quasi-2D CsPbBr x Cl 3−x perovskite films from green (504 nm) to blue (470 nm) with a high PLQY up to 42% at 486 nm. In addition, we developed a novel NiO x /LiF hole transport layer with high affinity to precursor solution for improving the film quality of quasi-2D CsPbBr x Cl 3-x perovskite while reducing the quenching effect of hole transport layer to as-formed perovskite film. As a result, the blue PeLEDs based on quasi-2D CsPbBr x Cl 3-x perovskite films show color-tunable emissions and the external quantum efficiency of 0.52% as well as high brightness of 1446 cd m −2 are achieved at 490 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
