Solution-Processed Quasi-Two-Dimensional/Nanoscrystals Perovskite Composite Film Enhances the Efficiency and Stability of Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes

Solution-processed quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D)/colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) perovskite composite films are first prepared as the emitting layers of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). The subsequent multi-spin-coating of PNCs not only fills the gully-like fluctuations of the nanocrystal pinning-prepared Q-2D perovskite films and decreases their surface roughness but also transforms the bilayer perovskite nanosheets into multilayer ones, thus improving the charge transport and reducing the hole-injection barrier in the composite films. More importantly, the bromide vacancies and Pb defects in the Q-2D perovskites are removed via Br- supply and Pb-OOC-R interaction, in which the Br ions and COO- groups (from oleic acid) come from the PNC solution, and the radiation recombination is significantly enhanced. Based on the Q-2D/PNCs perovskite composite emitter, the PeLEDs achieve a maximum luminescence of similar to 2.0 x 10(4) cd/m(2) and a peak current efficiency of 27.5 cd/A, showing 175 and 337% enhancements compared to the control device with the pristine Q-2D perovskite emitter. The lifetime for the luminance decaying to 50% of the initial intensity increases by a factor of 13.8, demonstrating that the device stability is also improved by the Q-2D/PNCs perovskite composite film.
