Summary
We developed a defect passivation strategy to improve the performance of all-inorganic perovskite light-emitting devices (PeLEDs) made using thermal evaporation. This method enhances optoelectrical properties, paving the way for more efficient PeLEDs.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Optoelectronics
- Device Engineering
Background:
- All-inorganic perovskite light-emitting devices (PeLEDs) are promising for optoelectronic applications.
- Thermal evaporation is a key fabrication method for PeLEDs, but performance is limited by nonradiative defects.
- Defects at the bulk and interface of the emissive layer significantly hinder device efficiency and stability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a bilateral interfacial defect-passivation strategy for thermally evaporated CsPbBr3 PeLEDs.
- To enhance the optoelectrical performance and stability of PeLEDs by suppressing nonradiative defects.
- To enable high-performance PeLEDs through a novel defect management approach.
Main Methods:
- Implementing 3-amino-1-propanol (3AP)-modified PEDOT:PSS to passivate bulk defects.
- Introducing ammonium salts to passivate the emissive layer/charge transport layer interface defects.
- Utilizing 3AP-induced Cs4PbBr6 and ammonium salts to balance charge injection.
Main Results:
- Significant suppression of nonradiative defects in the CsPbBr3 emissive layer and at interfaces.
- Achieved a luminance of 15745 cd/m2.
- Reached a current efficiency of 32 cd/A and an external quantum efficiency of 8.86%.
- Demonstrated a device lifetime of 3.74 hours.
Conclusions:
- The bilateral interfacial defect-passivation strategy effectively enhances the performance of thermally evaporated CsPbBr3 PeLEDs.
- The combined use of 3AP-modified PEDOT:PSS and ammonium salts addresses bulk and interfacial defects, improving charge injection.
- This approach offers a pathway for developing highly efficient and stable thermally evaporated PeLEDs.
