Halide perovskite materials are emerging as a new promising semiconductor display material owing to their excellent optical and electrical properties. Highly efficient blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are the basis for full-color displays and solid-state lighting applications, but their efficiency and stability still lag far behind the red and green analogs. This review focuses on the key effect factors and novel strategies for blue emission PeLEDs. In detail, first effective strategies to obtain blue emission perovskite are discussed, and then the recent progress and strategies in blue emission PeLEDs, including the physical properties and significant improvements based on different structural perovskite materials are systematically elucidated. Finally, the main challenges relating to efficiency, stability, lead toxicity, and fabrication techniques in blue emission PeLEDs are summarized, and the promising research avenues in the future are discussed.
Single‐layered MoS2 is a naturally stable material. Integrating spin, valley, and circularly polarized photons is an interesting endeavor to achieve advanced spin‐valleytronics. In this study, room‐temperature ferromagnetism in MoS2 induced by the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and the antiferromagnetic coupling at the interface is demonstrated. Insulating YIG without charge carriers is an excellent magnetic candidate featuring a long spin diffusion length and remarkable surface flatness, enabling long‐range magnetic interactions with MoS2. Spin‐resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) reveal that the spin‐polarized valleys of MoS2 can achieve sustained ferromagnetism even at room temperature. The bandgap‐sensitivity of MCD further demonstrates the extent of antiferromagnetic coupling between the MPE‐induced moments of MoS2 and YIG. This work provides a layer‐selected approach to study magnetic interactions/configurations in the YIG/MoS2 bilayer and highlights the role of MoS2 in achieving the MPE toward high temperature.
Metal halide perovskite (MHP) materials have shown great advantages for the next-generation optoelectronic devices, especially for light-emitting diodes (LEDs), on account of their outstanding photoelectric properties and facile solution processability. However, the performances of red perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) are not ready for commercialization, presumably due to the instability both of the emission spectra and operation conditions, and the toxicity of lead ions. In this review, the structures, physical properties, and preparation approaches of red emissive perovskite materials are first introduced, including 3D bulk perovskites, 2D and quasi-2D perovskites, and colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). In addition, several strategies that contribute to the recent development and achievement of red PeLEDs are summarized in detail, mainly involving component engineering, dimension, and phase distribution modulation, ligand engineering, additive engineering, interfacial engineering, and strategies for the light out-coupling device structure. Moreover, the challenges and corresponding solutions are discussed from three aspects of spectral stability, operational stability, and lead-free red PeLEDs. Finally, the conclusion and outlook on the promising future of the red PeLEDs are raised.
In this work, SnS–SnS2 heterostructured upright
nanosheet frameworks are constructed on FTO substrates, which demonstrate
promising photocatalytic performances for the conversion of CO2 and water to C2 (acetaldehyde) and C3 (acetone) hydrocarbons
without H2 formation. With post annealing in designated
atmospheres, the photocatalytic activity of the SnS–SnS2 heterostructured nanosheet framework is critically enhanced
by increasing the fraction of crystalline SnS in nanosheets through
partial transformation of the SnS2 matrix to SnS but not
obviously influenced by improving the crystallinity of the SnS2 matrix. DFT calculations indicate that transformed SnS possesses
the CO2 adsorption sites with significantly lower activation
energy for the rate-determining step to drive efficient CO2 conversion catalysis. The experimental results and DFT calculations
suggest that the SnS–SnS2 heterojunction nanosheet
framework photocatalyst experiences Z-scheme charge transfer dynamic
to allow the water oxidation and CO2 reduction reactions
occurring on the surfaces of SnS2 and SnS, respectively.
The Z-scheme SnS–SnS2 heterostructured nanosheet
framework photocatalyst exhibits not only efficient charge separation
but also highly catalytic active sites to boost the photocatalytic
activity for CO2 conversion to C2 and C3 hydrocarbons.
