The development of low-cost, solution-processable, low-toxicity and air-stable perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) holds promise for next-generation display technologies. However, especially air-stable α-CsPbI3 PeQDs and corresponding light-emitting devices still face great challenges due to their inherent ionic structural properties and phase instability. Here, a dual strategy based on Zn 2+ doping and inorganic ligand SCN-surface passivation was developed to obtain improved, stable and near-100% photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) of α-CsPbI3 QDs. High-efficiency red perovskite QLEDs are also fabricated, and the best device has a maximum brightness of 4800 cd/m 2 and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 5.98%. More importantly, compared with pure CsPbI3QLEDs, the operating stability of perovskite QLEDs based on Zn 2+ doping and SCN-surface passivation is greatly improved in air environment, and their operating lifetimes are increased by 9 times more.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
