Background:

Indium Phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) are promising alternatives to toxic cadmium- and lead-based optoelectronic devices.
Developing efficient and environmentally friendly green-emitting InP-based quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) presents significant challenges.
Existing methods often struggle with environmental preparation and achieving superior device performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop highly efficient green-emitting InP-based QLEDs using an environmentally benign preparation method.
To investigate the role of an inner alloyed shell component in enhancing InP QD performance and QLED efficiency.
To elucidate the physical mechanism behind the improved performance through detailed characterization.

Main Methods:

Environmentally friendly synthesis of InP quantum dots using phosphorus tris(dimethylamino)phosphine ((DMA)3P).
Insertion of a gradient ZnSeₓS₁₋ₓ inner alloyed shell layer without post-treatment.
Comprehensive characterization including structure, luminescence, femtosecond transient absorption, and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy.
Fabrication and performance testing of InP/ZnSeₓS₁₋ₓ/ZnS QLEDs.

Main Results:

Achieved highly efficient InP QDs with a narrow full width at half maximum (~35 nm) and high quantum yield (~97%).
The ZnSeₓS₁₋ₓ inner shell layer effectively reduced interface defects and balanced carrier injection.
Demonstrated InP/ZnSe₀.₇S₀.₃/ZnS QLEDs with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 15.2% at 532 nm.
This represents a near-record efficiency for pure green-emitting InP-based QLEDs.

Conclusions:

Inner alloyed shell engineering is a viable strategy for producing high-quality InP QDs.
The developed method offers an environmentally friendly approach to high-performance green-emitting InP QLEDs.
This work demonstrates significant progress towards next-generation benign lighting and display technologies.
