High-performance and stable CsPbBr3 light-emitting diodes based on polymer additive treatment

Abstract

Because of their high efficiency and sharp emission, perovskite light-emitting diodes are a promising candidate for next-generation lighting techniques. However, the relatively poor stability of perovskite light-emitting diodes lowers their utility. Therefore, a highly stable perovskite light-emitting diode has to be developed to meet the commercial demand. Herein, we report a highly stable CsPbBr₃ light-emitting diode via simple polymer treatment. The addition of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline in perovskite film assists the formation of CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals, improving the quality and photoluminescence property of perovskite film. Based on such CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals and polymer hybrid film, our device presents a high external quantum efficiency and luminance of around 3.0% and 16 648 cd m⁻², respectively. Moreover, an excellent device half-lifetime of more than 2.4 hours has been achieved, under continuous operation at a relatively high initial luminance of 1000 cd m⁻², representing one of the most stable PeLEDs operated at such high initial luminance.
