Perovskite
LEDs (PeLEDs) have emerged as a next-generation
light-emitting
technology. Recent breakthroughs were made in achieving highly stable
near-infrared and green PeLEDs. However, the operational lifetimes
(T
50) of visible PeLEDs under high current
densities (>10 mA cm–2) remain unsatisfactory
(normally
<100 h), limiting the possibilities in solid-state lighting and
AR/VR applications. This problem becomes more pronounced for mixed-halide
(e.g., red and blue) perovskite emitters in which critical challenges
such as halide segregation and spectral instability are present. Here,
we demonstrate bright and stable red PeLEDs based on mixed-halide
perovskites, showing measured T
50 lifetimes
of up to ∼357 h at currents of ≥25 mA cm–2, a record for the operational stability of visible PeLEDs under
high current densities. The devices produce intense and stable emission
with a maximum luminance of 28,870 cd m–2 (radiance:
1584 W sr–1 m–2), which is record-high
for red PeLEDs. Key to this demonstration is the introduction of sulfonamide,
a dipolar molecular stabilizer that effectively interacts with the
ionic species in the perovskite emitters. It suppresses halide segregation
and migration into the charge-transport layers, resulting in enhanced
stability and brightness of the mixed-halide PeLEDs. These results
represent a substantial step toward bright and stable PeLEDs for emerging
applications.
