Tunable Dual-Color Emission Perovskites via Post-Synthetic Modification Strategy for Near-Unity Photoluminescence...

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) with excellent performance have become promising materials for optoelectrical devices. However, as for the dual-color emission LHPs (DELHPs), the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) hinders their applications. Herein, a simple low-cost room-temperature post-synthetic modification strategy is used to achieve a near-unity PLQY of DELHPs. It is proven that ZnBr₂ plays an important role as an inorganic ligand in reducing surface defects to induce a 95.4% increase in the radiative decay rate and a 99.5% decrease in the nonradiative decay rate in the treated DELHPs compared with the pristine DELHPs. The performance of the blue emission from the surface lattice is greatly improved via the modification of ZnBr₂. DELHPs with different ratios of blue and green emissions are obtained by changing the specific surface area and ZnBr₂ concentration. The distribution and mechanism of Zn²⁺ are discussed using the research model based on these DELHPs. The first example of the single-layer dual-color perovskite electroluminescence device is realized from DELHPs. This work provides a new perspective for improving the performance of DELHPs, which will greatly accelerate the development of emission materials of LHPs.
