Background:

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are vital for quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) due to their electron transport capabilities.
High carrier density in ZnO can cause nonradiative Auger recombination, hindering QLED performance.
Optimizing electron transport layers requires balancing high carrier mobility with low carrier density.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop ZnO nanoparticle films with both high carrier mobility and low carrier density for QLED applications.
To investigate the effect of operando recrystallization on ZnO nanoparticle film properties and QLED performance.

Main Methods:

Achieved operando recrystallization of ZnO nanoparticle films by diffusing aluminum ions from the cathode under acidic conditions.
Analyzed the formation of defect-passivated, long-range ZnO crystals through NP coalescence.
Fabricated and tested QLED devices using the modified ZnO films as electron transport layers.

Main Results:

Operando recrystallization successfully created ZnO NP films with improved transport properties (high mobility, low carrier density).
QLEDs utilizing recrystallized ZnO electron transport layers demonstrated a significant enhancement in external quantum efficiency, increasing from 17.2% to 33.7%.
The defect-passivated, coalesced ZnO structure contributed to the improved device performance.

Conclusions:

Operando recrystallization is an effective method for tuning ZnO NP properties for advanced optoelectronic devices.
The developed ZnO electron transport layers significantly boost QLED performance by mitigating nonradiative recombination.
This research provides a pathway for designing high-performance charge transport materials for next-generation optoelectronics.
