Low Roll‐Off Perovskite Quantum Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes Achieved by Augmenting Hole Mobility

Abstract

The external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of perovskite quantum dot lightemitting diodes (QD-LEDs) are close to the out-coupling efficiency limitation. However, these high-performance QD-LEDs still suffer from a serious issue of efficiency roll-off at high current density. More injected carriers produce photons less efficiently, strongly suggesting the variation of ratio between radiative and non-radiative recombination. An approach is proposed to balance the carrier distribution and achieve high EQE at high current density. The average interdot distance between QDs is reduced and this facilitates carrier transport in QD films and thus electrons and holes have a balanced distribution in QD layers. Such encouraging results augment the proportion of radiative recombination, make devices with peak EQE of 12.7%, and present a great device performance at high current density with an EQE roll-off of 11% at 500 mA cm −2 (the lowest roll-off known so far) where the EQE is still over 11%.their PL QYs. Diverse approaches have been proposed to boost the performance of QD-LEDs via surface passivation, [19] modification of carrier transport layer, [20][21][22] and anion exchange. [12] QD-LEDs have therefore demonstrated an impressive quick increase of peak external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) from 0.01% to 21.3% within 4 years, suggesting perovskite QDs as promising new-generation optoelectronic semiconductor materials. [6,7,12,21] In spite of the rapid development of perovskite QD-LEDs, at present, the EQEs of these devices tend to be acquired at low current density and manifest significant loss at higher current density, which is known as efficiency roll-off. In best-performed perovskite QD-LEDs, [12] the maximum EQE was obtained at a current density lower than 1 mA cm −2 ; when the current density reached 100 mA cm −2 , the EQE became only about 1%, indicating the efficiency loss reached 95%. Such efficiency loss actually limits achievable brightness and leads to excessive power consumption.Apart from perovskite QD-LEDs, perovskite film-LEDs present similar issues and recently, a few studies have come up with several methods to minimize EQE droop. Zou et al. and Yang et al. concluded that it was luminescence quenching caused by Auger recombination that was responsible for the efficiency roll-off. [23,24] To reduce carrier density in quantum wells (QWs), increased QW width was acquired via different

Self‐Assembled Perovskite Nanowire Clusters for High Luminance Red Light‐Emitting Diodes

“…The peak EQE was calculated to be 6.2% at a luminance of 1 396 cd m −2 and current density of 9.2 mA cm −2 (Figure 5b), indicating that this device structure is able to provide balanced carrier injection and those carriers can recombine radiatively and efficiently. [21] In addition, the excellent luminance could be attributed to the specific uneven sides and staggered structure of NWs (Figure S9, Supporting Information), which has been shown to enhance the outcoupling efficiency of waveguided light in PeLEDs. [4,22] Performance parameter histograms for 50 devices from 5 batches are shown in Figure 5c,d.…”
