Perovskite light-emitting diodes based on solution-processed self-organized multiple quantum wells, Nature Photonics, 2016. 10(11) Encouraging performance metrics of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on 3Dperovskites, such as low turn-on voltages and external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of up to 3.5% at high current densities, have been demonstrated 9 . However, the EL quantum efficiency is far behind the limit predicated by ~70% PLQE of the 3D perovskites, mainly due to the existence of current losses caused by incomplete surface coverage of the perovskite films and the fact that the high PLQE can only be obtained at high excitations 8,9 . By using thick (>300 nm) perovskite films, Cho et al.obtained LEDs with over 8% EQE 10 . However, for this device, the turn-on voltage is high and the power efficiency is low, which may result from the thick perovskite layer used. In order to further enhance the performance of 3D perovskite-based LEDs, it is 3 essential to obtain perovskite thin films with both complete surface coverage and high PLQE [8][9][10] . Moreover, device stability, which was proven to be a vital issue in organic-inorganic halide perovskite-based photovoltaics 11 , has not been addressed in perovskite LEDs.The 3D perovskites are actually an extreme case of layered organometal halide perovskites with a general formula of L2(SMX3)n-1MX4, where M, X, L, and S are a divalent metal cation, a halide, and organic cations with long and short chains, respectively ( Fig. 1a) [12][13][14] . Here n is the number of semiconducting MX4 monolayer sheets within the two organic insulating layers (cation L), with n=∞ corresponding to the structure of a 3D perovskite SMX3. With smaller numbers of MX4 layers, quantum confinement effects, such as an increase in bandgap and exciton energy, become important 6,15 . In consequence, the layered perovskites naturally form quantum-well structures. At the opposite extreme, when n=1, the layered perovskites form a monolayer structure of a two-dimensional (2D) perovskite L2MX4. The 2D L2MX4 perovskites generally have good film-formation properties 13 . Nevertheless, the PLQEs of the 2D perovskites are rather low at room temperature, owing to fast exciton quenching rates 6,7 . LEDs based on the 2D perovskites have been attempted, while the devices are either very low in efficiency or only operational at cryogenic temperatures [16][17][18] . Here we demonstrate very efficient (up to 11.7% EQE) and high-brightness EL achievable at room temperature by using solution-processed perovskite multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with an energy cascade, which can combine the advantages of 2D and 3D perovskites. We note, a relevant perovskite LED work 19 which shows a peak EQE of 8.8% has been published online during the revision of this paper.A precursor solution of 1-naphthylmethylamine iodide (NMAI), formamidinium iodide (FAI), and PbI2 with a molar ratio of 2:1:2 dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was used to deposit perovskite films (see Methods for details), which are abbreviated as NFPI...

following statement: These materials can be processed from solution and yet exhibit optoelectronic materials properties described in classic solid-state physics textbooks. This unprecedented combination has led to photovoltaic devices that can be processed at room temperature and achieve performance levels similar to industry giant polycrystalline silicon, from a starting point of 3.8% in 2009. [1][2][3][4] The first light-emitting electrochemical cells [5] and diodes [6][7][8] have also been introduced recently, leading to tunable light emission spectra and internal quantum efficiencies exceeding 15%.The road towards these achievements has been marked by a constant improvement of perovskite deposition techniques fueled by our increasing understanding of the crystallization processes. The choice of deposition technique, either from solution or vapor, and the composition and order in which precursor species are applied has a great influence on the crystallization kinetics. Here, one can distinguish one-step methods where the perovskite is formed from a precursor mixture dissolved in a common solution, and two-step methods where the inorganic compound is deposited first and transformed to the perovskite phase later by addition of the organic constituents. [9][10][11] Furthermore, many parameters during processing can have an effect on the crystallization mechanism and consequently on film morphology, such as the choice of solvents, concentrations and processing additives that are often not incorporated into the final product. [11][12][13] We discuss this aspect in Section 2, where we focus our attention on the most commonly employed solution-based techniques. Additionally, as for any new technology trying to displace an incumbent technology, higher efficiencies, lower costs, reproducibility, stability, and sustainability are paramount. In particular, reproducibility has been a major challenge in perovskite solar cells from the beginning: small variations in morphology, like crystal size, film roughness, and pinholes can have detrimental effects on photovoltaic performance. [14] On the other hand, current-voltage measurements often showed a hysteresis that is rarely seen in other photovoltaic technologies. [15] These topics are highlighted in Sections 3 and 4. Finally, in Section 5 we discuss the framework for market introduction, such as cost reduction by choosing low-cost charge transport layers, or how the lifetime of perovskite absorbers can be extended by the choice of materials composition.Hybrid metal halide perovskites have become one of the hottest topics in optoelectronic materials research in recent years. Not only have they surpassed everyone's expectations and achieved similar performance as tried and true polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic devices, but they are also finding applications in a variety of different fields, including lighting. The main advantages of hybrid metal halide perovskites are simple processability, compatible with large-scale solution processing such as roll-to-roll printing, a...
