Abstract:
Zirconium acetylacetonate used as a co-precursor in the synthesis of CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs) increased their photoluminescence quantum efficiency to values over 90%. The top-emitting device structure on a Si substrate with high thermal conductivity (to better dissipate Joule heat generated at high current density) was designed to improve the light extraction efficiency making use of a strong microcavity resonance between the bottom and top electrodes. As a result of these improvements, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) utilizing Zr-modified CsPbI3 QDs with an electroluminescence at 686 nm showed external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 13.7% at a current density of 108 mA cm-2, which was combined with low efficiency roll-off (maintaining an EQE of 12.5% at a high current density of 500 mA cm-2) and a high luminance of 14 725 cd m-2, and the stability of the devices being repeatedly lit (cycled on and off at high drive current density) has been greatly enhanced.
