Surface defect passivation and carrier injection regulation
have
emerged as effective strategies for enhancing the performance of perovskite
light-emitting diodes (Pero-LEDs). It usually requires two functional
molecules to realize defect passivation and carrier injection regulation
separately. In other words, developing one single molecule possessing
these capabilities remains challenging. Herein, we utilized π-conjugated
fluorene derivatives as surface treatment materials, 9,9-Spirobi[fluorene]
(SBF), 9,9-Spirobifluoren-2-yl-diphenylphosphine oxide (SPPO1), and
2,7-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (SPPO13),
to investigate the influence of their chemical structure on device
optoelectronic performance, especially for defect passivation and
carrier injection regulation. Consequently, the passivation capability
of double-bonded SPPO13 surpassed single-bonded SPPO1 and nonbonded
SBF, which all showed excellent electron transport properties, enhancing
electron injection. The maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQE)
for Pero-LEDs treated with SBF, SPPO1, and SPPO13 were 8.13, 17.48,
and 22.10%, respectively, exceeding that of the derivative-free device
(6.55%). Notably, SPPO13-treated devices exhibited exceptional reproducibility,
yielding an average EQE of 20.00 ± 1.10% based on 30 devices.
This result emphasizes the potential of tailored fluorene derivatives
for enhancing the device performance of Pero-LEDs.
