High-Performance Green Light-Emitting Diodes Based on MAPbBr3-Polymer Composite Films Prepared by Gas-Assisted Crystallization

The morphology of perovskite films has a significant impact on luminous characteristics of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). To obtain a highly uniform methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr(3)) film, a gas-assisted crystallization method is introduced with a mixed solution of MAPbBr(3) precursor and polymer matrix. The ultrafast evaporation of the solvent causes a high degree of supersaturation which expedites the generation of a large number of nuclei to form a MAPbBr(3)-polymer composite film with full surface coverage and nano-sized grains. The addition of the polymer matrix significantly affects the optical properties and morphology of MAPbBr(3) films. The PeLED made of the MAPbBr(3)-polymer composite film exhibits an outstanding device performance of a maximum luminance of 6800 cd.m(-2) and a maximum current efficiency of 1.12 cd.A(-1). Furthermore, 1 cm(2) area pixel of PeLED displays full coverage of a strong green electroluminescence, implying that the high-quality perovskite film can be useful for large-area applications in perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.
